Chapter 44

Fortunately, Evan had no intention of talking to her.

Evan’s face even looked solemn as he felt he should ignore the woman. The woman was gradually making him lose control of himself,

After losing control and kissing the woman yesterday, he was left restless all night. He had almost never reacted this way before. He pondered restlessly, making him feel as though the night would never end.

e kissed him in the presidential suite. She tasted delectable.

He lay in bed as he kept thinking about the taste of the woman’s lips when she

However, it did not change the fact that she was a scheming woman. How could he want to have anything to do with a woman like her? Evan stood in the lift in complete silence.

The lift door opened when it arrived on the 10th floor at JK Couture.

Anya hurriedly clutched her purse and ran out of the lift. She took off as quickly as a bunny and was terrified Evan would lose his temper. She ran all the way to the reception before she punched in and stopped to catch her breath,

The receptionist gave Anya a parcel while she was still catching her breath. “Ms. MacMillan, there is a package for a designer. Can you bring it over to your department?”

Anya immediately took the parcel and went over to Carol’s office without giving it a second thought. Carol was a fully–fledged designer and a senior employee, so she had an office.

Anya knocked on the door, but no one answered. At this hour of the day, most of the employees ought to be back in the office from lunch. Why was Carol’s office empty?

Anya

reckoned Carol must have stepped out for business.

Anya placed the package at her desk with the intention of handing it to Carol later when she got back.

However, she forgot how mean Carol was to her.

20 minutes into work after she placed the package at her desk, Carol came back to see Anya working diligently at her desk.

She looked at Anya sinisterly out of jealousy. She walked up to the reception and deliberately checked for her package.

Since the receptionist and Carol were friends, she looked at the designers walking around as she said, “I have already placed it in your office.”

Carol acknowledged her before heading to the office and pretended to look for the parcel.

After she failed to replace the package at her desk, she shouted to her colleagues, “Have any of you seen my package? The items inside are very expensive. It contains crystal accessories worth over $1500 that my client needs urgently.”

“Huh? Is your package missing?” asked someone in concern.

“Did it get stolen? After all, those are very expensive accessories we are talking about.”

“Do you really think someone stole them?”

Everyone talked about it one after another. The moment Anya heard about the discussion from her corner, she glanced at the package at her desk before she finally realized she was being accused of theft.

Anya was too careless,

Ever since Carol attempted to get Anya in trouble, she ought to have raised her guard. If she did not step forward with Carol’s package now, there was no way she could explain why the package was with her.

Anya contemplated as she stepped forward and said, “I have your package, I sent it to your office earlier, but you were not in. I was worried it might get stolen, so I kept it on my desk waiting for you to come back.”

The moment Anya finished talking, the designers who were speaking in hushed tones turned to look at her in shock.

It felt as though they did not believe her.

Who would place someone else’s package at their desk?

“Did you take my package? Sure enough, Carol started to accuse Anya, “You must have stolen it, right? Do you know that the accessories in there are priceless?”

“I did nothing of the sort. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the receptionist,” replied Anya confidently.

“Sure” Carol was just waiting for Anya to say that. Carol looked at the receptionist and asked, “Donna, did you give her my package?”

Since Donna were in on the plan, she chimed in. “Certainly not. Why would I give your package to someone else?”

Anya got accused of stealing the package just as she expected. Anya looked at Donna and Carol in shock. She deeply regretted being careless
