Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200 

At JK Couture, 9am in the morning. 

Anya did not sit at her table at all and went straight into Jake’s office when they arrived to discuss a solution to the problem. 

By then, the internet was filled with rumors and negative news that JK had an unreliable designer. JK’s reputation was at 

stake. 

Jake did not have any solution to the issue either. The other designers in the company got to know about this news from various online sources. They started to diss and complain about the situation. 

“Why is Anya MacMillan so contemptible? Not only does she like to seduce other men, her character is also horrendous? She is getting on my nerves. If she wants to end her career, go ahead and do so! Why did she have to drag the entire JK down with her? Now our reputations are also at stake.” 

“Yeah! How can she be so despicable? She just graduated and already stirring so much trouble. She’s here, trying to be smart. Why don’t she become the CEO then? What would JK do now? It is a huge mess now and the reputation of the company will just keep declining. By that time, who would come work with us for designing?” 

“Such a troublemaker. The previous incident with mangoes had just been tided over. And now she has done it again. Why 

on earth?” 

“Lola Mars had been so forgiving. She already forgave her once. She just had to sabotage, didn’t she? What is wrong with 

her character?” 

“Let’s not bother ourselves with Anya for now. We should focus and think of a solution to resolve this. This matter she stirred up will eventually have an impact on JK, The other designers out there will disrespect us. Our regular clients would also feel the same. New clients won’t come to us anymore. This is frustrating! What should we do?” 

“You have a point. But what can we do? She really got us into hot water this time.” 

“Let’s wait for Mr. Hanson to settle the matter. He should have a way to protect JK.” 

“We are doomed if Mr. Hanson chooses to stand on her side though.” 

“Mr. Hanson isn’t dumb. Surely he will make the right choice.” 

“Stop, stop! Let’s not speculate anymore. This affects us directly. We can try to think of a solution too.” 

“I agree. Let’s have a brainstorming session.” 

The colleagues started to think of various ways to mitigate the situation, as this would also affect their careers in a way of 

another. 

The only person who stayed out of all the discussions and brainstorming was Carol Walker. She already had plans to join another high–end design company, EU Designs. The company had reached out to her to offer her a contract, but on the condition that she brings some of JK’s prestige clients over. It would be an easy task for her, without having to bat an 

1/2 

eyelid. 

Carol sat along in her office, looking at her colleagues seated outside scrambling for a solution. She picked up her desk phone and dialed Tammy Florence’s direct line via intercom. Carol intended to bring Tammy along with her to EU Designs. She was a senior designer at JK and her clientele was made up of top–notch clients in the company. If she was able to convince Tammy to join EU Designs together, her efforts would be appreciated by EU Designs‘ top management. 

With regards to Jake, she had given up on admiring him. He was faithfully helping Anya all along. He couldn’t blame Carol for poaching his designers over to her future company. 

Meanwhile in Jake’s office. Jake spoke with Anya to understand the details of her design process to see where could have 

gone wrong. 

He concluded that they should investigate and look for leads starting from the manufacturing factory side. He called the tailor at the factory immediately to check if anyone had been over to the factory recently. 

The tailor pondered. Without his permission, no staff from the factory could go into his office at all. So, the only people who had visited him in the office were Anya and Carol. 

The tailor added on quickly after, “Mr. Hanson, recently Ms. Walker had come in to my office too. But I don’t think she is that kind of person?” 

Carol Walker? Jake paused for a while before he hung up. He turned to Anya, “There was someone else who had been to the factory. Carol Walker.” 

Anya was not surprised when she heard about Carol. Carol and Tammy were probably the two people who hated Anya the 

most. 

“Mr. Hanson, are you going to ask Carol about it?” 

“Yes, I will.” Jake nodded his head gently. “Leave it to me.” 

Anya nodded and remained silent. It was probably best if Jake put the question out to Carol directly instead of her.
