Evelyn didn't move from her place. "It doesn't matter, Miss Chi, thank you. You've been very kind as to do me this favor."
"You're welcome, Miss Huo. I can come and go to Sheffield's office at my will. So, is this some kind of late-night snacks for him?" Gillian glanced at the takeout boxes with the logo of the restaurant on the fifth floor of Alioth Building.
"Yes," Evelyn said frankly.
Gillian's smile deepened. "Oh good." She took the takeout boxes, along with the gift bag, from the security guard's hands. "I'll give them to him. I'm heading to his office now."
"Thank you," Evelyn said and walked to her car.

"Miss Huo, why didn't you go upstairs to meet Mr. Tang?" Felix asked, confused by her decision. He had seen them hugging earlier that day. 'Didn't they restore their relationship?'
Evelyn smiled resignedly. "I made him angry again." If she was stopped at the gate of Theo Group or at the door to Sheffield's office again, it would be embarrassing. She might as well not go up at all.

"Please wait for a moment, Miss Chi. I'll let Mr. Tang know."
"Okay." She had come to find Sterling's assistant earlier, but had decided not to go to Sheffield's office at the time. She knew that he wouldn't allow her in without a good reason.

The door to Carlos' room was open. As Evelyn came closer to the room, she could hear her mother's voice come from inside. "Gwyn, look at me! I am going to change into a huge dinosaur and eat your grandpa! What do you think? Isn't that a great idea?"
Expressionlessly, Gwyn stared at her grandma playing with a dinosaur toy placed over her head. When the little girl spotted Evelyn standing at the doorway, she was stunned for a few seconds and then slowly walked towards her mother, holding another little dinosaur in her arm.
"My baby! Hi, Dad. Hi, Mom." Evelyn put her bag on the desk and scooped up her little daughter.
"You are back. Are you hungry? Shall I ask the cook to make something for you?" Carlos asked with concern.
Debbie put the toy aside and just smiled at her daughter.
"I'm not hungry, Dad. Did Gwyn behave? Mom, who bought this dinosaur for her?" Evelyn didn't remember buying this toy for Gwyn.
"Terilynn said it was from Joshua," Debbie explained.
"Joshua?" Evelyn asked with a frown. "He met Gwyn?"
