“How about tonight? I have to deal with something first. After that,

I'm all yours." Originally, he had wanted to leave with her right away, but he made a slight diversion from the plan.

“Okay, I'll come."

Before long, he left her office.

Later that evening, Evelyn received a message from him.

“Eve, you go ahead to our meeting place first. I'll join you there. Be safe on the way."

He sent her the Location along with his message. The address was to a resort in the suburb.

It was still snowing outside when Evelyn finished all her work. She was ready to leave earlier than usual.

Before she could leave, however, Carlos walked in.

“Evelyn, are you going somewhere?" He was holding a file in his hand. His eyes fell on

Evelyn's handbag, and she seemed all set to leave the office.

She answered nervously, “Yeah, I need to attend to something.”

As the observant man he was, Carlos sensed that his daughter was pretty nervous about his sudden appearance.

“It's snowing. Are you going home early?" he asked calmly.

“Uh, no... I have an appointment with a friend, Dad.”

"I see," he said, nodding.

"Will you come back to the office later?"

She was meeting Sheffield at a resort.

"No," she answered firmly.

"I see. Well, come back to the manor after meeting your friend.

Matthew's flight will be arriving soon."

Evelyn fumbled, trying to find an excuse to stay with Sheffield.

"Dad,

I'm not sure if I can make it to the manor."

Carlos looked at her and compromised.
