“Why did Mr. Welton look for you for, Anya?” Jake asked her in a concerned tone.

Anya hid the medicine bottle into her bag and shook her head with a smile. She then lied, “Nothing much really. He was just asking me about the incident with Ms. Mars and he wanted to know how I was going to settle it.”

It seemed that Jake also guessed that he would be asking about that, so he was not suspicious that there might be something else. He said, “What did you say to him then?”

“I said that I’d get Ms. Mars‘ project back and I won’t bring shame to both Welton and JK Groups.”

Jake nodded. However, the only thing was, he was worried that Anya might not be able to get Lola’s project back. He said, “Look, just do your best about Ms. Mars‘ case. If you’re not able to get it back, I won’t blame you. You didn’t intend for this to happen anyway.”

Anya replied, “Til try my best, Mr. Hanson.”

This time, she did not just want to try, she wanted to get it back. She wanted to prove herself. Moreover, she did not wish to be bullied by the others as they pleased.

Jake chuckled as a star–struck gaze flashed across his eyes. It seemed that he was starting to love Anya even more. He decided to confess his feelings towards her in the future as he said, “Alright, carry on with your work. You can always look for me if there’s any problems at all.”

“Thanks Mr. Hanson.” Anya replied. She did not notice the star struck gaze from his eyes as she assured him in a serious

tone.

Jake gave her a gentle nod before withdrawing his gaze and returning to his office.

After Anya had reached rock bottom, she gently patted her head to hype herself up and decided to ignore Evan and other complicated mess. She needed to rush Mdm. Welton’s coat and think of a way to meet Lola again.

She must be unwilling to see Anya now, right?

She refused to meet her after she was drenched in rain previously, what made think that Lola would want to meet her then?

However, she would not know if she never try.

Thus, Anya took her phone out, looked up Lola’s number and sent her a text, (Greetings, Ms. Mars, I am a designer from JK Group, Anya MacMillan. I am truly sorry about last time. If you’re free today, can you spare some time for me? I only need ten minutes of your time.]

However, she received no response after the text was sent. Anya knew that she would never reply. Despite that, she was not dejected by it.

She decided to rush Mdm. Welton’s coat design first after placing her phone down. She spent the entire day working and it seemed both Tammy and Carol had return from meeting with their clients when evening approached.

When the duo returned and notice Anya that was in front of the design board, they recalled how rude she was towards them earlier during the day as a flash of envious rage could be seen seeping out from their eyes.

They eyeballed each other and decided to insult Anya.

They waked about a meter away from Anya and began to gossip, “Say, we have quite the designer in our company. Mr. Brown gave her a Channel few days ago and now another man dropped her off at work in a Maserati. It seems that using her body and appearance for a living is a talent for that designer of ours.”

“Oh my, we have no choice though. She’s pretty open minded and is willing to accompany those men. How could she be like us who are honorable and would naturally not do something like that.”

“That is why we aren’t able to get a Channel bag or be dropped off in a Maserati.”

“Nor do we have a wealthy man to pay for our living.”

The duo began cackling out loud which attracted the attention of the other designers. They asked, “Hey Carol, who were you guys talking about? Who got dropped off in a Maserati?”

“Who else in JK Group do you think would stoop that low?”

“Huh? Are you talking about Anya?”

Tammy pressed her finger against the designer’s mouth as she said, “Shh. Don’t talk about her. She has Mr. Brown’s protection. Who knows, she might even have someone even more powerful backing her. We can’t cross her.”

“So, isn’t she the cause of envy for everyone else? She gets gifts and luxury cars from using her looks and body.” Carol continued her insults.

Everyone else started laughing after she was done insulting Anya, She made it seem like Anya was exactly as she

described.

However, Anya was no longer willing to roll with their punches. She picked up her phone and gave Cindy a call while they were making fun of her. She then switched the call to loudspeaker when the call was connected as she said, “Hey Cindy, can you pick me up from work now? Oh, that’s right, you need to drive your Maserati!”

“What’s the matter? Why do you want

the Maserati specifically? I’m not driving the Maserati today, I’m driving a Mercedes now. Do you want me to pick you up?” Cindy replied as her voice could be heard throughout the office.

Those people that were making fun of her earlier were shocked to replace out that the man they claimed were paying for her living turned out to be a woman.

They were completely dumbfounded by the revelation.
