Desires Die Hard Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Lola was still furious about the situation, even Rain could not appease her anxiety no matter how hard she tried. Who wouldn’t want their wedding to be a joyous occasion? But this whole ordeal on the internet, how could Lola stay calm about

She thought about it again and figured, surely Anya would be smarter than to leak out the news to the media? What merit would she get if she was really the one who leaked the news? Lola calmed down a little after she realized that it could have been someone behind this doing. Could it be her archenemies?

Just as Lola was brooding over this, her phone rang. It was Evan. Lola saw the caller’s name on her screen and frowned. She knew there was only one reason why Evan would be calling her at this moment. It would have something to do with Anya

Lola grabbed a cushion on her couch and screamed into it to relieve some frustrations. She got up to answer the call. She would not dare to reject Evan’s call. Lola sneaked towards the side door to get to the swimming pool as she did not want Rain to overhear. But Rain caught her arm before she could do so and asked, “Who is calling? Why are you so secretive?”

“Oh, it’s…my cousin. He wanted to discuss some personal matters.” Lola gave a forced smile as she didn’t want to mention that it was Evan. She knew that Rain liked Evan, but Evan was interested in Anya instead. It was probably not a good time to complicate matters at this point.

“Oh okay. Go ahead then.” If it was Dan, Rain would not question any further. She smiled, “Please knock some sense into your cousin and tell him to consider carefully about his relationship with the wrench.”

“I know what to do.” Lola replied hastily and quickened her pace to the swimming pool with the phone vibrating non–stop in her hand. She picked up the call after she had stepped out and pulled the glass door shut behind her.

“What’s the matter, Evan?”

“The incident on the net this morning, you have seen it right?” Evan said slowly.

“Yes.” As per Lola’s predictions, Evan was really calling her because of the incident. She could almost foresee that his next sentence would be putting in good words for Anya.

“My agent had informed me this morning. You have got all the negative posts down, haven’t you? Thank you for doing so.”

“My pleasure. This matter implicated the Welton Group as well.” He continued. “Are you free this afternoon? I’ll treat you to

lunch.”

“Treat me to lunch?” Lola paused, but soon she understood the agenda behind the lunch invitation. “Will Ms. MacMillan be there as well?”

With Evan’s character, he would not invite Lola alone for lunch now that she was engaged, so as to prevent any

unnecessary rumors. Anya would be present for sure.

“Yes, she will be there too.” Evan said truthfully.

“Are you trying to put in some good words for her? Actually, you don’t have to treat me for lunch. With our friendship, I won’t

do anything to her.” Lola sighed and in a pitiful tone, “Evan, you really don’t have to say good things about her at all. I

understand.”

Evan was tickled by Lola’s comment and laughed. “It wasn’t her. She is not dumb to do something that will end her

livelihood.”

Lola raised her brows. “Evan, what do you mean…?”

“There is likely someone else behind all these. Do you really think that a fresh graduate would sell out a popular celebrity and sabotage her own career? It is either you over–simplify matters or she is just not that smart.” Evan was very sure of Anya’s character. This woman had rejected his gift of a house valued at four million dollars, let alone to leak out the news to the media. What could she get out of it? The leaked news would not be worth four million dollars even. Anya had Evan’s trust on this. Furthermore, there was no bad blood between Lola and Anya. Why would she sabotage her?

Lola thought about what Evan mentioned and indeed, it did sound suspicious. Anya did not look like someone who did not like doing her job. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited for Lola in the rain just to design for her.

“Okay then. I’ll join you for lunch. We can talk more about it later.” Lola kept her suspicions at bay for now.

“Great. It will be at the restaurant in Century Hotel”
