Zachary and his escort left in their golf cart.


    Evan turned around and eyed the woman whom he had been shielding. The look in his eyes darkened.


    The sky was bright and the sun shined hotly on them all.


    Its blinding light cascading from the skies cast a golden glow on the woman’s beautiful face.


    It was akin to a thin golden veil that shimmered as it kissed her cherry pink lips.


    Her beauty seemed more radiant under the sunlight.


    Evan found himself momentarily lost in her beauty. His eyes were dark and unfathomable like the


    abyss.


    Damnit


    The young man cursed inwardly.


    He couldn’t believe. He wanted to kiss her again.


    He wasn’t going to force a kiss on the woman in broad daylight though. He turned his dark eyes away


    and murmured softly. “Let’s go. I’ll teach you how to y golf.”


    Anya’s head snapped up. Surprise and disbelief rippled across her eyes. The man had gotten her out


    of a spot earlier. She was grateful for what he had done. But it was an awfully warm day. Why was he


    trying to force her into ying golf with


    him?


    She got warm easily and when she got warm, she started sweating buckets. Anya’s mouth opened. A


    refusal was ready at her lips.


    Before she could voice her refusal, Evan was grabbing her wrist and tugging her away as if they were a


    couple and there was nothing wrong with him dragging her towards the spot where his golf ball had


    landed.


    “I’ll teach you a few tricks. You can take a break after that.”


    Anya found herself at a loss for words again.


    Evan really enjoyed having his way. He didn’t seem to spare a thought for others at all. Look at him


    dragging her onto the golf course.


    Perhaps he was suffering some form of visual impairment.


    He obviously didn’t see the beads of sweat soaking her forehead wet.


    Men like him must not have much experience courting women.


    It made sense that he didn’t know how to treat ady well.

    Forget it. Anya wasn’t interested in getting involved with the man. It wasn’t any of her business. She


    decided to steel herself and bear with the man for the rest of the day. After the day was done, she


    would leave.


    She couldn’t stand how bullish the man was.


    His thoughtlessness made things worse.


    Evan led her to the stretch of the golf course that they had passed earlier. Then, he pulled his fingers


    away and turned towards the caddle. “Get a golf club for Ms. MacMin.”

    The caddie nodded before pulling a silver golf club from the golf bag he was carrying and handing the


    club to Anya.


    Anya took the golf club from the caddle. She had no idea where to ce herself. She decided to fry her


    hand at the game and figure things out on her own.


    She wasn’t interested in getting any instruction from Evan.


    Evan took his ce behind Anya without a word. Both looming shadow and towering wall, he circled


    the young woman. with his arms and ced his hands gently on hers. Then, he tightened his hands,


    leaned in and dipped his head. His voice was a whisper in her ear. “Remember to put your weight


    behind your swing. The ball won’t go far unless you do.”


    Anya hummed softly and leaned her face away instinctively. She would like to put as much distance


    between the both of


    them.


    The man’s aura was overwhelming.


    She might pretend that she wasn’t bothered but she couldn’t deny the fact that the man had a strong


    presence.


    She couldn’t simply pretend that he wasn’t there.


    She bit her lips and did exactly what Evan had told her.


    Her first shot wasn’t that bad..


    She didn’t get the ball in the hole though.


    However, she had a great swing. Her second shot was markedly better than her first.


    After the first two swings, Anya set her club down. “I feel warm, Mr. Welton. I would like to take a


    break.”


    “Do you?” The oblivious man finally realized that Anya was sweating in the heat. His response to her


    comment was swift. “Let’s go. We should get you back in the shade.”


    Anya was speechless.


    She had been right. The man had grown used to women falling at his feet and taking care of his every


    need.


    Consideration and reciprocation were beyond him.


    Compared to the zing heat out on the golf course, the lounge was significantly cooler. Anya felt a lot


    better when she

    stepped into the shade. The air conditioning was on full st and the humidity outdoors was thankfully


    absent indoors.


    Evan led Anya to the VIP lounge where she took a seat and rested.


    While they were taking a break, Evan got a call. They had to leave soon.


    Anya was ready to go. She couldn’t wait to hurry back to Ellie’s ce when she heard Evan tell her that


    they had to go. Even though he had something to attend to, he still gave her a ride back.


    The address that Anya gave him was the same address that she had fabricated thest time.


    Anya was ready to dart out of Evan’s car when the man suddenly caught her wrist and leaned towards


    her. “Won’t you go on another date with me again?”


    Anya froze. She wasn’t crazy. Why would she go on a date with him?


    She shoved the man away forcefully, then bit her lips. “Mr. Welton, you should respect a woman’s


    wishes. My wish is to never see you again and I’ll see to that.”

    Before Evan could say anything, she fled the car and raced into the building. It was as if she had


    hellhounds snapping at


    her heels.


    Evan didn’t seem upset by Anya’s blunt rejection at all.


    Instead, he eyed the doors to the apartment building quietly. A ghost of a smile yed on his lips.


    Thedy seemed to have thrown down the gauntlet.
