Because of what her cousin had told her, L went looking for Rain two dayster.


    The two young women worked in the samepany,


    It wasn’t exactly a challenge trying to locate Rain.


    L called Rain and asked her out for a cup of coffee.


    Naturally, Rain’s curiosity was piqued. She wondered why L had sought her out.


    She arrived at the cafe located in the same building as their office buzzing with curiosity. “What’s up? I


    didn’t expect you to ask me out for coffee. Aren’t you busy?”


    “I caught a break” L said as she smiled at the other young woman and stirred her iced mocha with


    her straw nonchntly. “What would you like to have?”


    “A cappino,” Rain said after taking a glimpse at the menu.


    L nodded and lifted her hand. That caught the attention of a waiter in the vicinity. Within moments,


    she ced the order for a cup of cappino


    “What’s up?” Rain ced the menu back on the table and asked the young woman seated before her.


    L coughed. It was an unpleasant position to be caught in. She remembered what her cousin had told


    her to tell Rain. She always did what her cousin told her to. The young woman steeled herself before


    blurting out bluntly. “Rain, you should stay away from Anya”


    “What?” Rain’s eyes widened in shock. A streak of curiosity shed across her wide eyes as she


    studied L carefully. “Why?”


    “Don’t ask why. Just stop getting her into trouble or putting her in a spot.” L couldn’t simply tell the


    young woman that Anya had caught Evan’s eye.


    Evan hated it when people went around gossiping about his personal life.


    “I think I deserve an exnation.” Rain wasn’t someone anyone could push around and she wasn’t


    going to let a woman hang around Evan and try to get close to the man.


    She wanted Evan. She had wanted him for a very long time.


    If she could, she would marry into the Weltons right now. She would be the young wife of Evan Welton


    and the mistress of the Welton family. Every woman in Nordeny would gaze upon her with envy.


    “Well… it’s because because. The gears in L’s head turned furiously as she scrambled for an


    exnation. Something popped into her head instantly Her cousin wasn’t going to mind. “My cousin’s


    interested in her. She caught Dan’s eye.”


    Rain wasn’t interested in Dan.

    This should work


    Rain let out a sound of surprise. She didn’t seem convinced though. Was Dan honestly interested in


    Anya? “Are you


    serious?


    Well what had Anya been doing in Evan’s apartment then?


    This didn’t sound right. Something fishy was going on here.


    “Of course” L said smoothly. “Talk to Dan if you don’t believe me. I would advise you to y nice and


    not get into trouble with him though. He doesn’t know what you did to Anya. She didn’t mention a word


    to my cousin. But you’re going to find yourself in a lot of trouble if he finds out!”


    A crease appeared between Rain’s brow. She gave L a thoughtful look. The other woman had no


    reason to lie to her. After a moment, she decided to trust L’s words. “Alright. I know what to do. I’ll


    stay away from Anya.”


    “That’s great.” L released a sigh of relief inwardly. She had managed to fool Rain after all.


    She wasn’t going to take any responsibility for what might happen if someone found out that she had


    lied about Dan’s interest in Anya though.


    Time passed quickly. Soon, it was the weekend. Finally, a break from work.


    Jake tried to ask Anya out for dinner. Anya lied and said that she was spending the weekend with her


    best friend, Cindy.


    She might have gotten out of a dinner with Jake, but she couldn’t run away from one with Evan.


    The man had helped her out of a tough spot and gotten her away from Shane. She owed him dinner.


    The young woman decided she should get that over and done with this weekend.


    They could go their separate ways after that.


    With that thought in mind, Anya sent Evan a quick text while she was brushing her teeth that morning.


    “Mr. Welton, are you avable for lunch this afternoon? I believe I owe you one.”


    She received a reply within seconds. “Ms. MacMin, I’ll see you at my apartment.”


    The text that Evan had sent her was baffling. Anya frowned as she studied the ambiguous text. Why


    was Evan asking her to turn up at his apartment so early in the moming?


    “Mr. Welton, I was thinking about lunch at half past eleven.”


    Her text received a swift response “Ms. MacMin, I intend to dine at home.”


    Anya was utterly bewildered by Evan’s reply.


    “Mr. Welton, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”


    The next text from Evan read, “Haven’t I told you? I’m eating at home. That’s why you should head


    over to my ce right


    now.


    Anya found herself utterly confused. “Are we having breakfast instead? I don’t mind trading lunch for


    breakfast. But please remember to keep your word, Mr. Welton.”


    “Sure,” Evan replied.


    The young man ced his phone down after sending the final text. He was still in bed. Resting on his


    soft, navy–blue sheets, Evan smiled to himself. She would be right where he wanted her if she turned


    up at his apartment.


    There was nowhere she could run.
