“Being an intern isn’t a problem. I believe in your potential.” Jake exclaimed in a confident look and this made it impossible for Anya to turn him down. So, all she could say was, “We’ll discuss this tomorrow, Mr. Hanson, the work day is already

over.”

If Evan was to lay her off tomorrow, that would mean that she would be unable to accept the job.

However, if he was to replace it in his heart to let her stay, she would be able to accept the job then.

“Alright.” Jake replied as she made a fair point. He wondered just how could he give her a job when the work day was already over.

He should not have done that..

However, the only thing was, if he did not use such an excuse, he would have no idea what kind of excuse he could still use to meet her.

Was he going to confess his feelings towards her?

Jake felt that it was not the right time yet. Thus, he decided to hold his feelings back and remained silent.

“Is there anything else, Mr. Hanson? If there’s nothing else then, I’ll have to head back now. My family is still waiting for me for dinner!” Anya wanted to return after she felt that the conversation was about to end.

“Alright.” Jake replied casually as he initially intended to try asking her out on a date with, “What do you say that we have dinner together some time in the future?”

In the end however, he did not ask her.

Anya then hastily said, “Well then, goodbye now, Mr. Hanson.” She returned to her apartment immediately after saying that.

Jake felt frustrated in that instant as he stared at her back.

He wondered why he was behaving so cowardly early.

He vowed to ask her out on a date next time!

After Anya returned to her apartment, she paid no mind to the wedding dress assignment Jake had given her earlier as she simply continued to bring the cake out and celebrate with her children.

Anya fed her children after the celebration was over.

After she was done with that, she prepared her resume in the kitchen.

She could not sit idly by and just wait to be terminated. She had to make the first move since she knew that there would be a design company out there that would be willing to hire her.

After she was done writing her resume, she played with her children before taking a shower and going to bed.

Anya returned to work as usual on the following day. She intentionally dressed herself up since it would most likely be her final day there anyway.

She did not want to leave in a disheveled look.

Everything seemed normal when she arrived at the office. Everyone else was shunning her out of jealousy as usual as well. Anya was already used to such a treatment.

She then returned to her desk and was getting ready to pack everything up. However, she immediately noticed Mdm. Welton’s coat design draft on her desk.

She felt quite disappointed about it somehow.

Although Evan was not a decent person, Mdm. Welton was an amazing person. If she was to resign, she wondered how would she turn down Mdm. Welton’s request

After somet

Anya decided that if she was to resign, she would finish Mdm. Welton’s design in private.

This was to repay Mdm. Welton’s goodwill and kindness towards her.

She placed the draft down and continued to pack up.

She had roughly finished packing her things.

It seemed that things that were fated to happen had finally caught up to her as Hayden personally came to invite her into the president’s office.

Anya knew that he would no doubt lay her off. She was not surprised as she calmly followed him up to Evan’s office to meet him.

In Evan’s office, he sat down by his black desk and listened closely to the lawyer’s explanation of the procedures in a paternity test while holding a pen.

A paternity test was not a complicated procedure. The complicated things would involve in the paternal rights for the children after that.

If the children were in fact his, he would no doubt want them back. However, just as the lawyer was explaining to him about the procedures during a paternity test, Anya entered his office.

She glanced at the man behind the desk and immediately spoke without any hesitation nor did she allow him the chance to lay her off, “I am here to turn in my resignation, Mr. Welton.”

Evan glanced towards her after she was done speaking. His gaze dimmed as he grinned and asked, “Who allowed you to resign?”

Anya was stunned as she had no idea what Evan meant when he asked that question. However, she soon began to

understand what he meant.

Evan then said, “I want to do a paternity test. You won’t be against it, right, Ms. MacMillan?”
