After Nadia left, Evelyn blankly Looked at the papers for a moment before throwing herself into her work.
At lunchtime, when Evelyn was about to leave, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and answered it.
"Hi, Dad."
“Hi. You had Lunch yet? Your mom asked the cook to prepare Lunch. It'lL be here soon. Why don't you come up and have Lunch with me?"
“No, Dad. I have something to deal with now. Just enjoy your lunch."
She was really busy this afternoon.
Confused, Carlos asked, "I already had arranged the meeting. Why are you busy?"
“No, well...It's my own thing. Dad, I want to go out and buy something at noon, Evelyn explained.
“No big deal. Come up and have Lunch with your old man. I'll send someone out to get it." Carlos remembered that this was what his daughter usually did when she needed to buy something. Why did she suddenly want to do it herself?
"Dad, I just need to stretch my legs," Evelyn said resignedly. She wondered if every daughter was monitored so intently by their fathers.
“Well, okay then. Do you need Dad along?" Carlos thought that Evelyn had never gone shopping alone, so he wanted to go with her. Maybe he could steer her in the right direction when she didn't know what to buy.
“Thanks, Dad. But you don't need to come with me. Enjoy your Lunch.
Call me if you need anything."
“Okay then. Be careful."
“Okay, bye, Dad." After hanging up, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not easy for her to get her father's permission.
After leaving the company, Evelyn got into her car and headed towards
Shining International Plaza.
Evelyn knew what she wanted to buy before coming to the mall. When she got there, she got out of the car and rushed towards a shop.
Seeing a customer in an expensive outfit come in, the saleswoman immediately welcomed her with a professional smile, "Welcome, ma'am.
Miss...Miss Evelyn?" The saleswoman recognized Evelyn immediately for she was quite popular now. She greeted Evelyn more respectfully, “Good afternoon, Miss Evelyn. May I help you?"
Evelyn's eyes swept across the counters and then she pointed at a box.
“Take it out. I want to have a Look."
"Yes, Miss Evelyn." The saleswoman jogged over to the store manager and told him that the regional CEO of Hilton Group was here. The manager immediately put aside his work and came over.
The manager asked the saleslady to fetch a glass of water. Then he put on a pair of white gloves and carefully slid back the glass on the cabinet, allowing access to what was inside. Then he took the pen out of the display case and handed it to Evelyn with a flattering smile
