By now, everyone knew the love declaration on the outdoor screen of

Theo Group's offices was from Sheffield.

“Evelyn, what should we do?”

Evelyn took another look at the iPad and closed it. She stood up and said to the executives, "I'm sorry. I have something else to deal with.

Please continue without me."

As soon as she walked out of the meeting room, she called Sheffield.

As soon as Sheffield plugged his phone in the car and it turned on, calls after calls came in. Most of the calls were from unknown numbers, so he didn't bother to call them back.

Whistling a tune as he started the car, he left the Thompson family's house in a good mood.

While he was stopped by a red light on the road, his phone rang again.

He happened to notice the caller ID and found out that it was Evelyn.

In an instant, he put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the phone.

“Hello, Miss Evelyn."

“You're the one who did it," Evelyn stated calmly; the certainty in her voice was so apparent.

“Wow! My woman is so smart!' he thought with a smile. But he didn't want to give in that easily so he played dumb.

"What did I do?"

“About the news. You did that on purpose." Obviously, the kiss that morning was intentional.

Sheffield curled his lips into a smile and said, "Yes. But you know what? I just earned five million for selling that piece of news. I'1L come to you after work. We can share the earnings equally." On one hand, now that their relationship was out in the public, he could openly announce to the world that Evelyn was his girlfriend. On the other hand, he could get a large sum of money from selling bits of information to the media. What a perfect plan! He got the best of both worlds.

Rubbing her aching temples, she complained, “You betrayed me just for five million?"

“How could you say that I betrayed you? From now on, people will always put our names together. You are my woman and I'm your man. We're happy together. And above it all, we can get some money out of this relationship. It's a win-win situation, don't you think?"

Evelyn could only sigh while she listened to him. She was honestly getting pissed off by this cunning man.

“Are you mad at me? Evelyn, may I just remind you that you Lied to me?

It was also you who abandoned me two years ago. But now, all I did was tell the whole world that we're together. What are you so afraid of? Or do you still want to hide our relationship?" The wide smile on his face faded away as his tone gradually became dejected and upset.

“No, it's not like that..." Truth of the matter was, it didn't matter to Evelyn. She just felt a Little caught off guard. Their relationship was still not stable yet and they didn't even have a chance to discuss it. But suddenly, their relationship was revealed to the public in a way that she didn't expect or would have liked.

“Because of this, it would now be impossible for Mr. Carlos to find another man to replace me. I told the reporter to take pictures using high definition lenses so my face is shown clearly. From any angle, anyone would be able to tell that it was me."

Evelyn rubbed her aching temples again. She could imagine the smug expression on Sheffield's face on the other end of the Line.
