“If it was not you, who could it be? Don’t deny it.” Fann thought that Anya was trying to wiggle her way out of the situation, so she continued to contempt her “You should quit immediately and never come back to this industry”

“What evidence is there? Evidence that points to you being the culprit?” Fann raised her hand and was about to smash the mug in her hand onto Anya. But a strong hand from behind grabbed her mug in time before she could do so

Fann was pulled back. She turned back to see who tried to stop her. It was the CEO’s personal assistant, Hayden Lang.

Fann was cautious of the people in the CEO’s office. She retracted her hand and her rage simmered instantly. She stuttered and asked, “Mr. Lang, what brings you here?”

“Mr. Welton invited Anya to his office to talk about the issue this morning” Hayden was aware that Evan was interested in Anya so he moved Anya at the side and protect her if he needs to. “Do all designers in JK like to resort to violence? What is with the splashing of water? Mr. Welton is keen to groom JK’s employees. If he knew that the people here bully, what would he think about JK as a whole, Ms Crater?”

Hayden’s hint was obvious enough for Fann to understand the meaning between the lines. He indirectly meant Fann pulled down the reputation of the designers in JK

Fann went pale. She was afraid this might cause her her job and quickly defended herself. “Mr. Lang, I didn’t do it on purpose. It was an accident”

She did not want to leave JK yet JK Couture was one of the better design firms in the industry and it had the support and backing of the established Welton Group

Td have known if it was an accident, because I saw it with my own eyes.” Hayden retorted

Fann was lost and didn’t know what to do “Mr. Lang, I’m sorry”

“Ms Crater, your apology seems to be directed at the wrong person”

Fann flushed with embarrassment.

Although she was pissed with Anya for her loss of commission, she should not be arrogant in front of the CEO’s personal assistant and could only apologize to Anya. “Ms MacMillan, I’m sorry about my actions earlier on. Please forgive me.”

Anya would not have forgiven Fann if it was in the past because the apology was not heartfelt and was just for show. If she had accepted it easily, the others would continue to bully her anyway. But now with the matter on hand, she did not want to waste her time on a minor dispute like this. After the incident was resolved and she had completed her designs for Mdm. Welton, she would quit

Anya grabbed some paper towels from the counter and tried to soak up as much liquid off her blouse as possible. “Ms. Crater, I will not admit to the things I did not do. So please refrain from any accusations. And as mentioned, I will look for the evidence I need to prove my innocence. I’ll not implicate the other designers in JK.”

Chapter 204

Anya turned to Hayden and said, “Mr. Lang, can we go now?”

Hayden nodded and replied, “Sure, let’s go.” He could not tell that Anya had such a strong character. She was definitely not the timid woman he had imagined. He seemed to understand why Evan was interested with her.

They walked out of JK and made their way to the CEO’s office upstairs. She could vaguely hear the other designers gossiping on her way out, but she chose to ignore all of it.

They reached the office at the highest level. Hayden knocked on the door and only opened it after the man behind it replied with a low yet attractive voice. Hayden went in first and ushered Anya into the office.

The spacious office was well–lit by the daylight coming in through the window walls. A suave man sat poised at the luxurious polished table. He was spinning a pen as he was focused on the documents in front of him.

Hayden stepped in front of the table and said respectfully. “Mr. Welton, Ms. MacMillan is here.”

Evan looked up. His glance fell on her blouse that was still slightly wet from the incident in the pantry earlier. He frowned, “Why is your blouse wet?”
