âIf it was not you, who could it be? Donât deny it.â Fann thought that Anya was trying to wiggle her way out of the situation, so she continued to contempt her âYou should quit immediately and never come back to this industryâ
ave my innocenceâ
Anya bit her lips. Tl find the necessary evidence to prove my
âWhat evidence is there? Evidence that points to you being the culprit?â Fann raised her hand and was about to smash the mug in her hand onto Anya. But a strong hand from behind grabbed her mug in time before she could do so
Fann was pulled back. She turned back to see who tried to stop her. It was the CEOâs personal assistant, Hayden Lang.
Fann was cautious of the people in the CEOâs office. She retracted her hand and her rage simmered instantly. She stuttered and asked, âMr. Lang, what brings you here?â
âMr. Welton invited Anya to his office to talk about the issue this morningâ Hayden was aware that Evan was interested in Anya so he moved Anya at the side and protect her if he needs to. âDo all designers in JK like to resort to violence? What is with the splashing of water? Mr. Welton is keen to groom JKâs employees. If he knew that the people here bully, what would he think about JK as a whole, Ms Crater?â
Haydenâs hint was obvious enough for Fann to understand the meaning between the lines. He indirectly meant Fann pulled down the reputation of the designers in JK
Fann went pale. She was afraid this might cause her her job and quickly defended herself. âMr. Lang, I didnât do it on purpose. It was an accidentâ
She did not want to leave JK yet JK Couture was one of the better design firms in the industry and it had the support and backing of the established Welton Group
Td have known if it was an accident, because I saw it with my own eyes.â Hayden retorted
Fann was lost and didnât know what to do âMr. Lang, Iâm sorryâ
âMs Crater, your apology seems to be directed at the wrong personâ
Fann flushed with embarrassment.
Although she was pissed with Anya for her loss of commission, she should not be arrogant in front of the CEOâs personal assistant and could only apologize to Anya. âMs MacMillan, Iâm sorry about my actions earlier on. Please forgive me.â
Anya would not have forgiven Fann if it was in the past because the apology was not heartfelt and was just for show. If she had accepted it easily, the others would continue to bully her anyway. But now with the matter on hand, she did not want to waste her time on a minor dispute like this. After the incident was resolved and she had completed her designs for Mdm. Welton, she would quit
Anya grabbed some paper towels from the counter and tried to soak up as much liquid off her blouse as possible. âMs. Crater, I will not admit to the things I did not do. So please refrain from any accusations. And as mentioned, I will look for the evidence I need to prove my innocence. Iâll not implicate the other designers in JK.â

Anya turned to Hayden and said, âMr. Lang, can we go now?â
Hayden nodded and replied, âSure, letâs go.â He could not tell that Anya had such a strong character. She was definitely not the timid woman he had imagined. He seemed to understand why Evan was interested with her.
They walked out of JK and made their way to the CEOâs office upstairs. She could vaguely hear the other designers gossiping on her way out, but she chose to ignore all of it.
They reached the office at the highest level. Hayden knocked on the door and only opened it after the man behind it replied with a low yet attractive voice. Hayden went in first and ushered Anya into the office.
The spacious office was wellâlit by the daylight coming in through the window walls. A suave man sat poised at the luxurious polished table. He was spinning a pen as he was focused on the documents in front of him.
Hayden stepped in front of the table and said respectfully. âMr. Welton, Ms. MacMillan is here.â
Evan looked up. His glance fell on her blouse that was still slightly wet from the incident in the pantry earlier. He frowned, âWhy is your blouse wet?â
