Evelyn nodded, “Yes. Matthew's on a business trip. I'm filling in for him." Matthew had officially taken over the company. Although he was just a general manager, he was in charge of everything now
Carlos and Debbie had already started their world tour, leaving the company in Matthew's hands. They had just visited Iceland a few days ago. In two weeks, they were slated to be in South Africa.
“Okay, Let me give you a ride."
“No, thanks." Evelyn cupped his cheek and pecked his lips.
“Sleep tight. It's important to take care of your health."
“Don't worry about me. Remember, I used to be a doctor. Ever heard the phrase, ‘Physician, heal thyself'? I'm good."
Evelyn sighed helplessly.
“Fine. Go to bed. I'm out of here.”
“I won't be burning the midnight oil anymore, so I'll see you tonight.
I just can't stay away from you," he said with an evil smile and gave her a long, sexy kiss.
“Cut it out!" Evelyn rolled her eyes with a smile. In a soft voice, she said, "Besides, you need to rest so you can keep up with me."
“I'm good. Why don't you let me prove it to you?" he asked with a grin.
‘Now? I won't have enough energy left for work after that, ' Evelyn thought to herself. She let go of him in a hurry and said, "No way. I have something important to deal with. I need to grab some breakfast first."
“Okay, bye!"
No sooner had Evelyn left for work than Sheffield and Carlos entered the study.
"Dad, let me ask you something. Who's Napier?" He found out Napier was the man who had tried to rape Evelyn in her apartment two years ago
Carlos’ eyes darkened. Never had he suspected the matter had something to do with Napier.
"He used to be a martial arts coach. He ran a martial arts school. He didn't have much to do with Evelyn. But his girlfriend"
“His girlfriend?" Sheffield interrupted. He was surprised. ‘How could someone like that have a girlfriend?"
A light bulb came on in his head. ‘Martial arts? No wonder I recognized some of those moves he used on me. Like a bodyguard. I was right.'
"Yes, his girlfriend's name was Melody Saunders." Carlos began recounting the events of a few years back. He sounded weary when he told the tale.
It happened five years ago. Melody was 27 years old. She never saw her
28th birthday.
The day she died, she wore Evelyn's favorite dress. It was a lovely red number, an evening dress. She jumped from the 26th floor of a building, the top floor, to be exact.
Evelyn and Napier saw her jump. They tried to stop her, but by the time they found Melody, she was already perilously close to the edge.
