Evelyn stood up from the edge of the bed and interrupted her, “Mom, I know. I'm going to bed. Good night."

“Hey! I'm not done!"

Evelyn wasn't interested in it at all. She was done with the day.

“Sorry Mom. I think I need to find out more about him when we start dating, okay?"

“Alright fine. I'll shut up. Get to bed, before you turn into a pumpkin." Debbie knew how tired her daughter was, so she dropped the subject. They went back to their own bedrooms.

At Orchid Private Club

When Evelyn and her two assistants arrived at the private booth, there were already three people in it.

When Sidell learned that he'd be meeting with none other than Evelyn, the mysterious regional CEO of Hilton Group, he dropped everything and took his contingent to arrange a sit-down with the popular female CEO

As Nadia and the club manager pushed open the doors to the private room at the same time, a woman came into their view. A hushed silence fell over the area.

Today, Evelyn was dressed in a grey and blue suit, her long hair fell to her shoulders. She wore a dangly Cat's Eye earring in her left ear and a Cat's Eye stud in her right.

The medicine we are to talk about could change the way kidney disorders are handled in this country, and our hospital would be one of the pioneers."

Evelyn and Sidell shook hands.

Sheffield then reached out his right hand towards her. Evelyn looked at it for two seconds and then extended the hand with the Cat's Eye ring.

Instead of letting go, he fixed his eyes on Evelyn. With a broad smile, he said, “I've heard a lot about you, Evelyn. It's an honor to be with so young a CEO, and such a beautiful woman."

She was struggling to maintain her composure. Sheffield's grip was crushing her hand. She had forgotten to place her index finger above his palm to avoid such tricks. With a straight face, she said, "Thank you for your praise, Sheffield. You're not bad-Looking yourself. Deputy director, huh? And so young. Color me impressed."

He should have been an actor. He did a great job pretending not to know her.

The smile on Sheffield's face widened. He savored her words and said,
