Anya immediately returned to her desk to grab her phone after getting out of Jake’s office.
She had to call her aunt to inform that she would be hlate again that night. Since she felt the need to avoid feeling embarrassed about it, she had to make the phone call at the end of the empty corridor outside.

Ever since her mother’s passing, only her aunt treated her like family. She treated her like her own daughter. Ellie actually transferred her to a different university with a designer course that was away from the MacMillan family.
With how ruthless and cruel the MacMillan family was, they kicked her out of the house. Moreover, they made the university that she was Studying in to expel her. They wanted her dead. Would they even pay for her education anyway? There was no need to even think about that.
“Oh Anya, you are the only family member I have left on this world. Both Nathaniel and Eudora are like my own grandchildren. It’s my responsibility to take care of them too.” Her aunt replied without hesitation as she added, “Work hard now, Anya. You don’t need to worry about anything else. I will take care of your kids.”
“Alright. Thank you, Ellie.” Anya replied. It seemed that every tshe had a conversation with her aunt, she would tear up. Somehow, her heart was wrenching slightly.
She wondered, when would she even be capable enough to get back everything that belonged to her and make every single person that was responsible for her mother’s death to pay the price?
“Are you okay, Ms. MacMillan?” It was uncertain when did Jake walked out of his office.
He was standing behind her as he stared at her with a gentle gaze. The truth was, he did not actually hear any of the phone conversation she had because by the the approached her, she had already hung up the call.
She was just standing there with teary eyes. She seemed so weak and frail too. This would cause any men to appreciate her and give her a huge tight hug.
“Ah, Mr. Hanson.” Anya was startled by his sudden question as she immediately noticed him standing beside her. Anya frantically wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes and shook her head as she said, “I’m fine.”

When she first entered JK Group, she actually wrote in as single on her marital status on her application. The requirements for the job position for JJK Group were for fresh university graduates.
She was afraid that Mr. Hanson would find out about her having two children. Moreover, she was more afraid of that news getting to Evan, causing him to snatch her children away. She would never allow such a thing to happen.
“Mr. Hanson, the conversation I had with my aunt earlier. Did you…” Anya was nervous to ask him bluntly if he had eavesdropped on her conversation, so all she could do was drop hints at him.
“I heard nothing.”
