Finally, she moved her lips and said, “I'll do it..."
It took her a long time to call Evelyn. She forced a smile and asked,
“Hi, Evelyn, you busy now?"
"Yeah, a little. Why don't we meet around five o'clock?" Those two hadn't been able to talk to each other in a while. Savannah had been abroad, and Evelyn was eager to get together so they could catch up.
“Okay, then. I'LL let you get back to it. See you later."
“Okay, bye!"
Sheffield had spent the whole day at the research Lab. He knew Evelyn had no time to spare today, so he decided to burn the midnight oil in the lab.
When he went to get a glass of water, he saw several missed calls and tons of text messages, one of which read, “It's Matthew."
“Matthew? My future brother-in-law! '
Without hesitation, Sheffield put his work aside and called Matthew back.
As soon as the call got through, Matthew's assistant answered, "Hello,
Mr. Sheffield. I'm Mr. Matthew's assistant. He is in a meeting now, but he asked me to tell you that he would like to meet you at the
Waterfront Cafe tonight. Would that be a good time for you, Mr.
Sheffield?"
"Really?' Sheffield glanced at his watch only to find that it was already past nine o'clock at night.
“Okay. When will his meeting end?"
“Mr. Matthew has to catch the early flight tomorrow morning. This is his last meeting for the day. It has been on for about half an hour. I think it will come to an end very soon." The assistant meant to say that Sheffield should set off now and wait for Matthew at the cafe.
Sheffield smiled and replied, "I see."
After hanging up the phone, Sheffield told his subordinates to handle the rest of the work before he changed his clothes and left for the cafe.
At the Waterfront Cafe
A waiter came up to greet Sheffield enthusiastically, "Good evening, sir! Do you have a reservation?"
Sheffield thought for a second and said, “Do you have a reservation here under the name of Matthew Hilton?"
“Oh, yes. Are you Mr. Sheffield? He has a private room reserved on the second floor. Please follow me."
Sheffield followed the waiter to the second floor of the coffee shop.
The reserved room was decorated in a modern style with an independent restroom attached to it. Several bookshelves lined up against the walls, filled with all kinds of books. On top of a large wooden table was a self-grinding coffee maker and a wide selection of coffee beans to choose from. There was also a vintage piano just next to the table; a few leather sofas and a few potted green plants
