Evelyn turned a corner and disappeared from Sheffield's sight. Dollie threw a glance at Sheffield, who was still talking to the young man, and decided to catch up with Evelyn
When there were only the two of them left, Sheffield stopped smiling and scoffed, "So, tell me: why me? Do I know him? Does he know me?"
The person was not annoyed by his words. When he remembered what his boss told him, he didn't try to persuade Sheffield any further.
"You have a bright future ahead of you, Mr. Sheffield, if you don't screw things up..."
“It's none of his business. Let me say it one last time, butt out! I don't want any help!" After saying that, he stalked off to join the others, leaving that young man there alone.
Just as they got to the car, Dollie stopped Evelyn.
“Miss Evelyn, I have something to tell you." She didn't wait for Sheffield because she had been waiting for a chance to talk to Evelyn alone. Without
Sheffield around.
Evelyn turned to look at her and replied indifferently, "I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Calvert opened the car door and was waiting for her to get in.
Looking at the arrogant Evelyn, Dollie didn't get angry. Instead, she put her hand on her own belly and asked happily, "Miss Evelyn, did you know I'm pregnant?"
Evelyn glanced at her flat belly and asked calmly, “Okay, and? Where are you going with this?"
"It's Sheffield's kid," Dollie said with a smug smile while paying attention to what was happening behind her.
It was rare for Evelyn to smile around her. She approached Dollie in high heels. Dollie took a step back warily, covering her belly.
"What do you want?" she asked.
“What do I want?" Despite Dollie's reluctance, Evelyn took another step forward and reached out her hand to touch her belly.
“Why not share your good Luck with me? That way he can get me pregnant too. Miss
Dollie, if Sheffield knocks me up, who do you think he will marry: me or you?"
It never occurred to Dollie Evelyn would react like this. She had thought Evelyn would fly into a rage and dump Sheffield.
“Sounds Like you don't mind me having his baby," she said in a shrill voice. She glanced at Calvert and added, "Or are you two-timing Sheffield, Miss
Evelyn?"
Calvert was on a phone call with his father, Langston, so he didn't pay much attention to what the two women were talking about.
Brushing off her words, Evelyn fired back, “Now that you're pregnant, you'd better stay home and not go out so much. You wouldn't want to miscarry. Think Sheffield will care if you Lose the baby? I don't think so. Take care of yourself, Dollie. If it's a boy, you might be rich the rest of your life."
Evelyn's tone made Dollie very angry. Not only was she insinuating
Dollie was a mistress, but also implied that the only reason Sheffield was around was the baby in her belly. This drove Dollie crazy.
