Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1003

Sheffield casually put his tie on his shoulder, and calmly took out a black card from his wallet. He handed the card to Tobias and said, "That's okay. I got this."

And Evelyn got him good, by making him responsible for the bill. But he owed her anyway for ruining her cheongsam.

After settling up with the cashier, Tobias gave the card back to him. "Mr. Tang, don't let your father see the bill. He'll get upset."

The most expensive meal Peterson had ever paid for was under three hundred thousand, but Sheffield had broken that record just a few days after he became the CEO.

Luckily, he had decided to pay for it himself. Otherwise, he might be called before the board of directors to account for the cost.

"Wow, the old man is stingy! He has been making money his whole life. He has more money than he could ever spend, but he still gets ticked at a small amount like this. What's money good for if he doesn't spend it? You can't take it with you!"

Tobias was dumbstruck by Sheffield's bluntness. But this newest CEO always spoke his mind.

In the parking lot, Sheffield paused in front of the car for a couple seconds. "Head back to the office." He decided that he had made a bad choice when he took over Theo Group. There was an endless river of documents to deal with every day.

Evelyn went back to the manor wearing Sheffield's suit jacket. She didn't want to attract any unwanted attention, particularly from her mom. She changed her dress in her bedroom before she went to Debbie's room.

Debbie had just gotten Gwyn to sleep. Seeing her come in, Debbie put her hand on her lips, silently telling her to be quiet.

Evelyn whispered, "She fell asleep so early today."

Debbie smiled. "She is such a sweetie girl. I told her Grandpa and Mom were both very busy today, and I would tuck her in tonight. I think she got it. After taking a bath and drinking some milk, she fell asleep."

Evelyn touched her daughter's head and said, "I'll take a bath first and take her to my room later."

"Let her sleep here. Your dad's away on business. Let her sleep with me. You need your beauty sleep."

"Okay." After kissing Gwyn on the cheek, Evelyn went back to her bedroom.

Three days later, Evelyn came to the offices of Theo Group again—and again to see Sheffield. She sent a message to him on the way. "I'm coming to your office to see you." Then she added, "With dinner."

She was sure that his old WeChat account was still active, because he hadn't changed his phone number. That meant he could get her message, if he bothered to check.

Although she never called him before, she had seen his contact information in the company directory.

When she and Felix pulled up at the entrance of Theo Group's office building, they were once again stopped by a guard—the same security guard who stopped them last time. Last time they were here, they had come across Sterling, who asked the security guard to let them through. Today, though, Sterling wasn't around, so the security guard was hesitant to let her in. "I'm sorry, Miss Huo. You'd better call Mr. Tang and ask his personal assistant to give us a call. We can't just let you in like this."

Evelyn nodded. She understood the guard was just doing his job. So she leaned back in her car and called Sheffield.

It rang for what seemed like forever. Fifteen rings. Finally, Sheffield picked up. "Sheffield Tang. Who's this?" He pretended not to recognize her number.

Ignoring his affectation, Evelyn said, "It's me. I'm downstairs, at the entrance of your office building."

"Oh, you want to see me?"

"Yeah." Didn't she send him a message already? Why was he still asking? Obviously, he was deliberately making this hard for her.

Sheffield purposefully paused a while before he continued, "Then wait a minute. Joshua will be here soon. I'll ask him to escort you up here."

Evelyn was disappointed to hear that.

As soon as he ended the call, Sheffield called Joshua. He was pretty rattled, and it showed in his voice. "Hey, where are you?"

"My office. I just got off work."

"Come to my office ASAP. Evelyn's waiting by the gate."

"What? Why? What's going on?"

Sheffield explained, "Evelyn came to see me. She was stopped by the guard. I told her you'd be here soon, and you could take her to my office."
