“Wow, it didn't even ring! You must have been waiting for my call."

Sheffield's mischievous voice came from the other end of the line.

“Of course not. she said. She was just waiting for his text.

“Eve, if I ace this, I'll take you out to dinner," he offered, smiling happily.

"No, thanks. I've heard that before. Not buying it." Evelyn wasn't a kid.

"Oh, really?" There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"Fine, be that way. Back to work, I guess," he said.

A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Dr. Sheffield, it's time."

“I'm coming," replied Sheffield. Then he told Evelyn, “Okay, good luck at work. But don't work too hard. Remember to think about me when you have time. I Love you! Goodbye

"Wait!" The young CEO called out to stop him from hanging up the phone.

“What's wrong?"

"You..." Evelyn was a little remorseful for turning him down. She couldn't delay now. She cleared her throat and said, "Okay. Take me out. Now you have a reason to do your best."

Not until now did he have a feeling that this world was so wonderful!

His whole world brightened because of Evelyn's words.

“I know. Bye for now, Evelyn! Muah!" In the end, he even made kissing sounds over the phone.

‘Evelyn is so softhearted, ' he thought.

He hung up in a hurry. Looking at the number on her phone, Evelyn smiled happily.

A knock on the door brought her back to her senses. Evelyn quickly collected herself and said in an even tone, “Please come in."

With Evelyn's permission, Nadia walked in with two file folders in her hands.

“Evelyn, Carlos took the other documents today, leaving only two files for you. He wanted to make sure you were well-rested."

“Thanks, I know.”

After Nadia placed the file folders on the desk, Evelyn started going through them. As if remembering something, she suddenly asked, “Am I busy at Lunchtime?"

“No, not now. Carlos has reassigned the meeting."

“Okay, I see."
