Desires Die Hard

Hickeys

In the meeting room.

Cohen wouldn't stay for long since Anya had left. He soon left as well after chatting with Jake.

He stopped for a while when he passed Evan's office.

He took his time resting after he left the building.

The reflection of the cloud in his eyes failed to cover what he was thinking about.

His assistant sighed. He knew that Cohen was thinking of Anya again.

He had run out of ways of consoling him.

It would ruin him sooner or later.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He sighed and said to Cohen, "To be honest, sir, you should get rid of your obsession with Ms. MacMillan. Mr. Welton had made it clear to you, hadn't he? It's a waste of time."

"It's not," said Cohen coldly.

"I'll be there at the dinner."

The assistant gave up. Cohen couldn't listen to anyone but himself.

But he couldn't just watch Cohen deteriorate like that.

He texted Raymond secretly, "I'm sorry to bother you, Professor Drake. Could you please talk some sense into Mr. Olson and helped him out of his obstinacy? I'm worried that it could ruin him."

Raymond frowned as he got the test.

He wanted to help, but he knew how stubborn Cohen had become.

He had no choice but to visit Evan.

"I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you."

...

Later that night, Evan took Anya to the restaurant Hayden booked and waited for Cohen there.

Evan and Anya took their seats.

Hayden got a text about the company Evan asked him to investigate. He walked to Evan and whispered something into his ears.

Evan frowned, "Keep an eye on it."

"On it, sir," said Hayden as he took a bow. But as he walked away, he noticed the hickeys on Evan's neck.

He almost lost his footing.

Hickeys?

Were they from Anya?

It was a surprise to Hayden that Evan didn't even bother covering the hickeys.

Was it about Cohen?

"Is something going on?" asked Anya. She was curious about what Hayden told Evan.

"It's just some errands in the company," said Evan. He didn't want to have Anya involved yet.

Anya nodded and took a sip of water.

Hayden stepped aside and stayed silent.

Evan looked to Anya and said, "You can take the scarf off."

"Evan!" chuckled Anya. She knew what Evan meant, and she took the scarf off timidly.

"You look gorgeous this way," said Evan. It was hard for him to look away from the hickeys on her neck.

Anya rolled her eyes over.

It had nothing to do about being gorgeous. The hickeys were signs that marked his sovereignty.

But she didn't mind. She knew it would keep Cohen away from her.

It will be of help in working with him.
