Desires Die Hard

Chapter 749
Cohen seemed indifferent and careless, but his words shocked Anya and Jake.
Anya didn't see it coming that he still remembered it.
Jake was surprised by the story.
That was why Anya told him that she and Cohen might know each other.
Awkwardness began to grow in the atmosphere, especially between Jake and Anya.
Pretending to be calm, Anya spoke first to stop the awkwardness, "What a surprise that you still remember it, Mr. Olson."
She sat down next to Jake.
Jake played along and said, "It's good that you guys are old-timers! That will make it easier for us to work together."
"But she said no." smiled Cohen as he played with knife and fork on the table.
The smile left Anya awkward again.
He sounded like he still held a grudge.
Anya smiled back at him after a while of silence. "It was all history, Mr. Olson. We were just teens, and I didn't know much about love and relationship.
"I believe you wouldn't take that serious since you've made great achievements in your life, Mr. Olson."
Cohen laughed. "I wouldn't, of course. It was all history, as you said.
"We've all grown out of it."
"Indeed." Anya nodded out of relief.
It quite concerned her that Cohen would take it against her, which would be ridiculous since they were still teenagers at that
time.
Cohen should've passed the age where he would be troubled by the rejection.
Jake seized the chance and said, 'So, shall we get down to business now?"
But Cohen was not in the mood yet.
Mac
He kept playing with the fork and knife and continued, "Do you still remember the roses I bought you, Ms. MacMillan? You just pushed them away."
Anya was screaming in her heart. She thought that they had passed such a topic.
What was the point of Cohen trying to reminisce on the old days with her?
It was strange.
She thought that Cohen would never speak of such a thing since it was embarrassing to him. There were chances that words
would travel.
She was confused.
What was he trying to do anyway?

Anya was left in a puzzle.
She had to keep smiling and said, "I couldn't recall much of it, Mr. Olson. I'm sorry."
"I see. It's reasonable, anyway. Mr. Welton was a better choice than me to you,
Jake realized something immediately.
Did Cohen come for Anya?
But Anya was married and pregnant.
It would be far more than inappropriate of Cohen.
Jake was confused as well.
"I think we should...
wasn't it?"
Cohen waved at Anya and stopped her. "Don't be nervous, Ms. MacMillan. I'm just delighted to see an old friend of mine. That's all."
Anya nodded, but she was still confused.
"Let's get down to business," said Cohen as he put the knife and fork down.
"Sure."
