Desires Die Hard

“Divorce?” Anya was a bit shocked.

The speed of the Weltons’ action really surprised her.

“Well, that’s a lesson for her. My mother started her career in the entertainment industry at an age of 18, the same year she became an overnight celebrity thanks to a character in a modern series. Ever since then she had been surrounded by outside compliments and enrolments for two years until she met my father and married him. The Welton family is never big and since she gave birth to the only boy of my generation, they doted on her even more thus spoiling her ever since.” Evan narrated slowly.

Anya smiled. “Luckily I gave an additional baby.”

Evan was amused. “They will dote on you as well.” He paused a little and continued, “their divorce is the last chance my grandma and my father give her. There will be no way to save this marriage if she doesn’t take it seriously.”

Anya nodded to show her understanding.

On the other side, the project manager wiped off the sweat on his forehead and started to clicking his tongue at what he had just seen the moment he ran down from the CEO’s office to his department.

Staff in the Welton Group had always believed a handsome and frosty man like Evan would not mess around with girls, at Jeast not in the company.

God knew that he was kissing and hugging a girl in his office in the light of the day!

That was devastating to his belief.

The manager started to recall the look of the girl, without stopping clicking his tongue.

The girl on Evan’s lap looked a little familiar. “Who is she?”

After a search in his head, he finally remembered.

She was Anya, the fashion designer who had caused a hurricane in JK Couture.

Oh my god! Was that an office romance?

Sure it was. That’s what bosses had always done. They did things that others were not allowed to do.

Thinking of that, the project manager made a sudden sneer which drew the attention of the market manager of the same department who asked, “What’s the matter, Mike? Have you submitted the project plan? What was the opinion of Mr. Welton?”

Mike was looking for someone to talk to when he was asked, so he instantly opened his gossip box. “No, I haven’t. There was a beauty hiding in Mr. Welton’s office!”

Curious about the news, the market manager asked with an intrigued look, “What? Mr. Welton hid a beauty in his office?”

“When I was going to submit the papers, I saw him kissing and hugging a girl on the laps!” Mike said zealously as if he was not an employee of the Welton Group.

The private life of Evan Welton was not something that could be gossiped about.

“Really? Mr. Welton is an austere man at the first sight!” the manager got even more curious.

Mr. Welton had always been an august and serious in their eyes.

How could he mess around with a woman in his office?

That did not sound like his style!

“That’s true! Id choose another way to die rather than being killed for lying about Mr. Welton. I have never dared to start a rumor against Mr. Welton, even if I am the bravest man in the world.

But he was unaware of the possibility that he might be fired for being a loudmouth.

“Who’s the girl?”

“A colleague of ours, the super-hot fashion designer, Anya MacMillan The market manager had watched the report of the fashion show where a lot of her pictures were taken and then put online. She was such a beauty!

She was like a movie star.

“It’s her. Mr. Welton really had a good taste of women.” From the perspective of a man, Anya was gorgeous.

The market manager concurred with how beautiful she was,

“Now Mr. Welton can have some laborious night to sleep.” Mike wore an obscenely happy face.

The market manager certainly understood that horny joke and he also grinned brazenly.

Not long after their conversation, the news went viral like a tornado sweeping through the company in less than half a day. as Anya had anticipated.

Almost half the staff of the Welton Group now knew she and Evan had been messing around in the office.

To make the matter worse, the news was getting more and more exaggerated.

What had been a kiss in the office turned into Anya being pressed on the office desk for brutal sex when it was spread to JK Culture.

Associated with the previously online gossips of Cinderella stabbing the movie queen, designers of JK Couture were all surprised to ask Anya about the news.

The rumor was not groundless, after all.

Anya knew it was no use denying and she had already made her decision to quit.

Therefore she admitted rather openly when being asked, “Yes, we have married.”

This announcement shook everyone in the JK Couture like a bomb going off.

They had only imagined Anya and Evan was in a relationship, but never had the idea that the news online was true. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Cinderella married a prince.

Did Anya stab her mother-in-law, Gina Gallo, the former movie queen?

People were just desperate to know.

Some designers couldn’t resist their curiosity and asked, “Anya forgive me, Mrs. Welton, I am so impressed that you can tie the knot with Mr. Welton.”

“Yeah, we envy you so much!”

“By the way, Anya, is it true that some on the internet say that you stabbed your mother-in-law?”

Anya was in no mood for the discussion of her private life, but since she was about to quit, she gave it a second thought by

replying, “No, how could I do something like hurting people?

“Those gossips on the internet are all false.” Anya didn’t want to go any further.

“Oh, I see.” Now everyone was satisfied.

At the same time, they were so envious that she could marry Evan. She would have the happiest life on earth.
