The call from Mdm Welton cout of the blue.
Anya was mildly surprised when she heard the old lady’s voice.
Mdm Welton seemed surprisingly forward.
Anya wasn’t expecting an invitation to lunch over a hat’s design.
Something didn’t seem right here.
She tried not to think too much about it. After a moment of stunned surprise, Anya yanked herself out of her thoughts and replied politely. “Mdm Welton, I won’t stop working on the hat until you’re happy with it. As for lunch…we have a canteen for the staff at Welton Group Tower.”
“But I’m at the lobby downstairs right now. Won’t you joinfor lunch?” The old lady appeared to have taken a liking to Anya. She hadn’t forgotten about her since that dinner they had had together.
She seemed insistent on having her get to know her own grandson.
The Weltons were a powerful family in high society but the old lady didn’t care much for the antiquated rules that other folks in high society usually followed.
She didn’t care where Anya cfrom.
As long as Evan liked her, that was all that mattered.
Of course, those were the old lady’s views. Evan’s marriage was the concern of the entire family. It affected their family’s interests and reputation. It didn’t matter if the old matriarch didn’t care who Evan’s future wife was and where she came
from.

But the old lady had her own worries regarding Evan’s marriage.
Her grandson never spoke about girls. She wondered if he were interested in women in the first place. Marriage seemed like such a distant goal at the moment. All she wanted him to do was to start dating.
It would be great if the relationship eventually led to their marriage but it wouldn’t matter if it didn’t. Anya wasn’t going to end up at the losing end of the deal. She would make sure of it.
With that thought in mind, Mdm Welton decided to go on the offensive and help her grandson find a girlfriend.
At least, she would be able to know for certain if he were interested in women.
That would leave her with one less thing to worry about.

impressed by Mdm Welton. The old lady was truly a woman of action.
Anya couldn’t believe that she was at Welton Group Tower right now.
Perhaps she should sneak downstairs and take a look.

Anya felt torn. She didn’t want to spend too much twith the old lady. She didn’t want her grandson to suspect her of trying to worm herself into his life again.
She wasn’t interested in being accused of something she hadn’t done.
“That’s right. I’m downstairs right now. Do you have tto discuss the hat’s design?” The old lady’s warm and friendly voice sounded from the other end of the line.
Anya believed her. She must be downstairs.
The young woman wasn’t dreaming
Anya bit her lips. After a moment of hesitation, she finally spoke. “I’ll be downstairs in a minute.”
So be it. Let Evan suspect her intentions. Let him confront her and question her motive.
The old lady would vouch for her.
Mdm Welton could tell her grandson Anya hadn’t done anything and that the old lady had been the one who had invited her
to lunch.
The old lady sounded delighted when Anya accepted her invitation to lunch. “That’s great. I’ll see you then.”
Three minutes later, Anya had her drafts with her as she rushed downstairs.
She hurried out of the elevator as soon as the doors slid open.
The old lady was dressed in an elegant looking dress and seated in the waiting area. She was clearly waiting for Anya.
Anya slowed down as soon as she saw Mdm Welton. After a moment, she realized what she had done and quickened her pace instantly.
“Mdm Welton, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting.” Anya took the seat across Mdm Welton and placed the drafts on the coffee

“Not at all.” The old lady smiled graciously at the young woman. The latter was dressed in a plain white blouse and a black skirt today
In spite of her plain–looking clothes, she was glowing radiantly with youth and beauty.
Mdm Welton found the sight extremely pleasing.
Anya nodded before reaching out and flipping open the folder before her. “Mdm Welton, here are some drafts I’ve done for the hat. Please take a look and letknow if you like them.”

The old lady picked the folder up and glanced at the designs before her. She liked them very much.
She found herself looking at a vintage–looking beret. Embroidered onto the side of the beret was a small rose,
The rose added a touch of something special to the beret.
It was neither ostentatious nor was it overly plain.
She liked it very much.
The old lady placed the folder down. “I’m very pleased with the design. Ms. MacMillan, let’s have lunch together. I’ve invited Evan to join us.”
Anya’s eyes widened instantly when she heard what the old lady had said.
