NovelEnglishSheffield pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Evelyn. "The others were on patrol duty."
"So, you just sneaked in?" she asked.
"Yes."
She was perplexed.
Sheffield grinned. "Come on, I'm not a bad guy. Why do you have to bother about all the minor details? I only came to bring you some food."
"You could have just called me instead of going through all the roundabout methods."
The man shrugged and replied casually, "I wanted to surprise you. If I had called you in advance, then what would have been the point?"
Evelyn didn't argue further. He had an answer for everything.
"Evelyn, how about you leave the rest of the work for tomorrow?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, there are a few more documents awaiting my signature. They are needed for tomorrow's meeting." Evelyn put the dessert aside and began going through the documents on her desk.
Sheffield stole a glance at the file she was reading and saw "Y City First General Hospital" written on it. "Oh, it's the contract with our hospital."
"Well, thanks to you, ZL Group will be cooperating with your hospital once again." She remembered their negotiation meeting with the First General Hospital.
Sheffield's lips curled into a grin. "You love me so much."
"Go away!"
"No, I won't. I am waiting for you to finish your work. Let's go out and have some fun!"
"Forget it. I'm not coming anywhere," she refused straightforwardly.
"Fine, I'll go home then," replied Sheffield without arguing.
Evelyn was surprised that he had given up so easily. "You are going home?" She looked up at him.
"Yes, to your home," he answered, tilting his head a little with a wide smile.
Evelyn chided, "Get out!"
"No, I don't want to. I want to be with you."
"Out! Now!"
"What will I do outside? Besides, I like being inside. It's so much more fun, isn't it?" he smirked. "How about you let me inside and we can enjoy ourselves a little?" Evelyn's breath caught.
She gave him a cold stare and cursed, "You're so shameless!"
"What's there to be ashamed of when I'm with you?" He didn't feel the need to hide anything from Evelyn. He wanted her to see him, as he was.
Evelyn was fed up with his flippant tongue. Blushing, she ordered, "Shut up!"
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment. action
dn't confront Evelyn face to face, nor did he plan on teaching Sheffield a lesson. Instead, he asked Joshua out for a meal. Alone.
Needless to say, Joshua was freaked out. He called Sheffield. "Your future father-in-law has invited me to dinner. I have a bad feeling about this."
"I have a bad feeling about that too," Sheffield replied as he continued to delete horrid comments about Evelyn online.
"What should I do?"
"Beats me, dude." If only he could read Carlos' mind. Sadly, he couldn't. Few people ever knew what was on Carlos Huo's mind.
"Why did you have to show off your affection for Evelyn publicly? Now, Carlos has found out. Are you happy now?" Joshua scoffed. "But which media company was bold enough to reveal gossips about Evelyn Huo?" Although the news had been suppressed temporarily, it had already reached the masses.
"It was Calvert Ji," said Sheffield casually. Calvert had spent a large sum of money bribing a media company. The legal owner of the company was someone completely irrelevant to the Ji family, so even if the whole thing went south, no one would suspect the Ji family. After the media had exposed Sheffield's relationship with Evelyn to the public, Carlos destroyed the company, but the culprit, Calvert, managed to stay out of it and remained untouched.
"That guy? Is he trying to get his revenge on you?" Joshua knew what had happened between Sheffield and Calvert.
"He has no other reason to do this," Sheffield replied.
