Evelyn, Mr. Sheffield from Theo Group is also here. He's related to

Gillian. Do you want to talk to him?"

Evelyn looked at the man sitting not far away, playing with his phone.

He was now the CEO of Theo Group after all. She supposed she should say something to him. So Evelyn nodded, "Yes. Get me a glass of wine."

Tracy felt baffled.

"Mr. Carlos never let you drink like this. You've had a couple glasses already. How about we switch to water?"

“No need. Just Liquor." Nadia had gone easy on the wine, pouring just 2 or 3 ounces in each glass. She didn't have that much.

Besides, she and Sheffield had never had a drink together. She had an excuse tonight.

Just as Evelyn and Nadia were walking toward Sheffield, he suddenly stood up with his phone to his ear and walked to a quiet place. She didn't know if he really needed to take the call in private, or whether he was avoiding her.

Evelyn slowed down. While walking, she considered whether she should follow him. Three seconds later, she made up her mind. She shadowed him as he tried to slip away from the party.

She stood less than two meters away from him and Listened to him while he talked on the phone. She guessed it was a woman on the other end, because he was speaking in gentle tones.

"Yeah. We'll get together after I finish my work."

On the other end of the line, Joshua, who had just picked up the phone, was confused.

“Why did you call me? I don't remember asking if you wanted to hang out.”

“Honey, be good. I'll be home soon."

“Oh, my God. What's wrong with you?" Joshua got goose bumps all over his body.

“Don't be afraid. I'll keep you company." With his back to Evelyn,

Sheffield stared at the night. He felt nauseated inside when he talked like this to the guy on the other end.

“Fuck! Listen, Sheffield! I'm Joshua, not Evelyn! If you want a girl then go find Evelyn. Quit bugging me."

“I know, I know. Don't be angry, honey. I'm headed home now, okay?"

“Will you cut that out? Don't come over, bro. You're a pervert. I'm afraid to go to sleep now because you might rape me. Sober up and call me Later!" Joshua yelled.

"Rape him?' Trying to suppress the urge to puke, Sheffield replied in a soft voice, “Okay, by

If he didn't hang up on Joshua now, he'd probably end up vomiting alt over the place.

Sheffield turned around and pretended that he just saw Evelyn. He said in a surprised tone, "Miss Evelyn!"

Restraining from showing any emotion, Evelyn took two glasses of wine from Nadia and handed one to him.
