Desires Die Hard

Cohen’s ribs hurt due to Evan’s punch. The injury was not serious, but Cohen still felt pain when he walked.

As a man, he could bear the pain.

When he returned to his studio, he only asked his assistant, Jerry, to bring him some ice to ice the bruise. Then, he changed

into a business suit.

Before leaving, Jerry swallowed and asked with concern, “Mr. Olson, are you sure about our cooperation with JK Couture?

“You know… Mrs. Welton will often be in touch with us. Will Mr. Welton come after you?”

“What do you want to say exactly?” Cohen straightened his collar and asked.

Jerry sighed. Didn’t Cohen understand what he wanted to say? He was afraid that Cohen would do something silly and destroy the career that he built these two years.

He saw the bruise on Cohen’s chest.

Jerry knew it must be because of Evan.

It was hard for designers from Cameron to reach the same level as those from Selolia or Eville in the world design industry.

Cohen entered the design circle of Selolia and Eville with his genius and hard work.

And he was now risking his future for a married woman.

It was not worth it.

Jerry didn’t want Cohen to ruin his future.

“You are now famous to the world, and you can have many pretty girlfriends. Mrs. Welton is married. What’s so good about…” Cohen glared at him coldly and cut in, “Don’t talk that way about her. If you say something like that again, I’ll fire

you.

Cohen rarely lost his temper, but this time was different. Jerry was startled.

He had to apologize, “I won’t say that again.”

Why did Cohen have to be obsessed with Anya?

Why couldn’t he fall for someone unmarried?

Let’s go.” Cohen looked at the time.

Jerry took the documents about the cooperation and went to Welton Group with Cohen for the signing ceremony.

Cohen finally came at around two–thirty in the afternoon.

Anya and Jake were fine with Cohen for being late for thirty minutes.

JK Couture needed Cohen to help with breaking up monopolies of that design company.

So Anya and Jake still had to greet him with a smile. “Mr. Olson, welcome to JK Couture.”

Cohen smiled lightly and looked at Anya in a tender but amb manner.

He held out. “Mrs. Welton.”

Anya had no intention of shaking hands with him. She was worried that Evan would be unhappy about this. But shaking hands was a business etiquette and was inevitable.

Evan himself would shake hands with other female executives in a polite manner.

She hesitated for a moment and reached out to shake hands with Cohen. “Mr. Olson, I hope we can work well together.”

“Of course, Mrs. Welton. Cohen held Anya’s hand gently but tightly and looked at her with desire.

“Call me Anya, please.” Anya felt his hand tighten and tried to break free from him automatically.

But Cohen gripped her hand on purpose.

He even looked up at the camera above the meeting room. Having cameras in the meeting rooms was common in companies.

Cohen knew Evan must be watching the signing ceremony in his office.

Even if Evan saw Cohen holding Anya’s hand, he wouldn’t come and stop Cohen because JK Couture needed Cohen..

And Anya needed Cohen.
