Sheffield produced his employee card and said, “See? I'm not a bad guy.
I have a proper job. I'm a deputy director at Alorith First General
Hospital. The faculty of our hospital came for a trip here. I was only curious about you. Isn't it normal for a guy to be curious about a beautiful woman Like you?"
Evelyn Looked at his employee card. His name was in red. Sheffield.
As he held out the card, she noticed his hands-long fingers and fair skin. Perfect for holding scalpels.
Tayson had been wary of Sheffield the whole time. He cautioned in a whisper, "Miss, we've come all this way for you to relax. Please don't stress yourself out on such trivial matters. I'll check him out."
As Carlos' eldest child, Evelyn had been born into a powerful and wealthy family and had grown up under ultra-protection, which had eventually shaped her sensitivity to security. Even on a trip, she couldn't put her guard down.
She didn't respond to Tayson's concern, and elegantly took a bite of the Red Hot Candy Apple.
A little candy was left on her lips after she took the bite. Sheffield noticed it and handed her a tissue from his pocket.
“You got candy on your lips," he said, pointing to her mouth.
Despite the fact that Sheffield was very much interested in her, he didn't want to look too eager. After handing her the tissue, he smiled and said, "Have fun. Bye."
He was vigorous. And there was a tinge of mischief in his smile. For a moment, Evelyn was charmed.
He really did leave and she didn't see him again until after she returned to the guesthouse.
When they got back to her room, Tayson handed her a file.
"Miss, he wasn't lying. His name is Sheffield Thompson. 26 years old. He is indeed the deputy director of the nephrology department of Alorith
First General Hospital. He graduated from an American medical school.
And from what we have learnt so far, he isn't a dangerous individual.
And he came here before us."
This trip was a last-minute decision; there was no way that Sheffield could have known about it beforehand. So, his meeting with her couldn't have been premeditated.
“The only problem with him is that there are too many women around him.
He is no boyfriend material," Tayson added cautiously.
Sheffield's bright, upturned eyes looked like peach blossoms when he wasn't smiling; and when he was, they were like two crescents. Those eyes alone were enough to make any woman fall under his spell.
‘The deputy director of the nephrology department?* Evelyn wondered, ignoring what Tayson had said at the end. She thumbed through the thin folder and muttered, “He is only 26 years old, and he is already the deputy director of one of the best hospitals in the city." ‘He must be capable. '
Tayson pointed out, "He had already published five internationally acknowledged papers before his graduation. He could have gotten into a better paid job."
In some sense, the number of published papers reflected a person's capability and intelligence.
