Yes, it was all an act. He wanted it to hurt, wanted her to have trouble eating or sleeping when she thought of his desperate expression.

Within a few minutes, he received a message from Evelyn.

“Why did you come back anyway? To take over Theo Group or...?"

He curled his Lips and didn't hide the truth.

"Theo Group was just a small part of the reason. Wasn't it you who left town to follow me? To ask me if we could get together?"

Sheffield was right.

The words he said made an impact on her. After receiving this message, for the next few days, she was on pins and needles

She was so confused. She really wanted to ask Sheffield flat out if they were getting back together or not.

Then, one night, she finally called him and asked him. But Sheffield simply replied, "Let me think about it."

At the International Golf Court of Alorith

The golf course covered an area of 2, 00 acres. Three men were chatting and playing golf. One in white, another in black, and the third in grey. Near them were three caddies.

With a professional motion, Sheffield knocked a white ball into the hole.

“We've been here for a half-hour already. If you're lying to us,

I'll strip you naked and toss you out on your ass," he threatened.

“Hey, I may joke around a lot, but I'm being serious here." After straightening his cap, Joshua added, "Unless Evelyn suddenly changes her schedule. Then, it's out of my hands."

When Sheffield heard his Last remark, he had an uncontrollable urge to bean him with the club.

Gifford unscrewed the cap of a water bottle and drank a mouthful of water.

“I finally have time to hang out with you two clowns. And you make me wait for a woman? Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

“I'm busy too," Sheffield said, as if he were trying to argue that it was not his fault.

Joshua clapped his shoulder and suggested resignedly, “Fine, forget it.

Just pretend I never said anything. Let's get some drinks! My treat.”

He turned and put his arm around Gifford's shoulder, ready to get off the course.

Sheffield's attitude softened.

"Hey, don't go! We've already wasted 30 minutes. Why not 30 more? What's an hour between friends?"

“Humph! You want to see her again. You're just too stubborn to admit it. And then somehow it ends up being my fault she's not here yet. You know why we're here today, right? Who asked us to come? Tell me!"
