Chapter 37
Scenic Hotel I was one of the most famous five-star hotels in the city.
Only the extremely wealthy would come over here and not to mention, this place held plenty of unpleasant memories to her. She was also quite Intimate with Evan here, previously.
Anya glanced towards the Scenic Hotel when she got out of Jake's car.
Her body was trembling uncontrollable while she bit her lips tightly. Everything that happened that night felt like a nightmare. Jake noticed that she was trembling and assumed that she was just feeling slightly nervous because this was her first time to have such a formal dinner.
He comforted her in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry, Ms. MacMillan. I'm here and I'll make sure nothing happens to you.”
“The clients that we're meeting today will play an extremely important role in expanding JK Group's business in the fashion world in the future. They are all people with amazing taste.”
Anya snapped out from her trance as she could not have Jake finding out that she was behaving oddly. She frantically relaxed her jaws and said, “I'm fine, Mr. Hanson.”
“It's good that you're fine. It's is normal to be nervous for your first time.” Jake replied while walking her in.
The duo were walking together. Anya's beautiful appearance caught the eye of plenty of men when they entered the lobby. However, Anya was already used to such stares and was not bothered by it. Jake 0
on the other hand was different. He was already treating Anya as his future girlfriend. He had also noticed the constant stares from the men around him
This bothered him slightly. Thus, he instinctively stood closer to Anya.
Anya noticed when Jake inched closer to her. Since she still was insecure of herself, she would not dare assume that Jake actually had feelings for her. So, she just brushed it off when he inched closer to her.
She continued to pace towards the elevator with him
Once they reached the lift lobby, Jake called for the elevator. The room that he booked was on the third floor. With a loud chime, the elevator opened up. When Jake and Anya entered the elevator and was about to push the floor buttons, waves of loud cheering could be heard coming from the lobby. It seemed as if some celebrity had arrived,
Anya could
not help but look over. However, she was taken aback at what she saw.
It's Evan again!’
She wondered if fate was actually pulling a prank on her. How could she keep running into him anyway?
Anya was slightly shocked as she stared at the man that was striding
striding over to their elevator.
Her mind was a mess since they had run into each other way too often lately. Although her mind was a complete mess, she was still very aware of what was happening. It would be much better for her to avoid him.
She quickly withdrew her gaze and frantically pushed the elevator's floor button.
The elevator doors immediately started to close slowly.

However, just as the doors were about to close, a hand suddenly reached out to hold onto the elevator's door button. The door chimed and started opening again.
The man was allowed in
“Please come in, Mr. Welton.” It seemed that the hand belonged to none other than his assistant, Hayden's.
It seemed that Hayden was an extremely hard worker as he gave Evan a bow when the doors opened while gesturing at him to enter.
The truth was, Evan had also noticed Anya but he could not be bothered by her.
However, who would have known that coincidentally, both elevators on both sides were all going up. Since the one that they were in had not ascended yet, the men entered as well.
After Evan entered, his assistant and his other staff members followed behind him and immediately crowded the tiny little elevator.
Anya was backed into a comer by the few men. Fortunately for her, Jake was there to protect her, preventing her from being hurt due to the cramped space.
After Jake held onto her, he immediately greeted Evan, “What a coincidence Mr. Welton, you're here for dinner too?”
Evan did not even look at him as he simply let out a cold scoff without saying a word.
