True Love Waits novel Chapter 1001

Maddock stole a glance at Duran, and sure enough, he had his eyes fixed on Evelyn.

Her beauty pulled even Maddock into a trance, let alone Duran, who loved a woman in a cheongsam.

Evelyn shook hands with Maddock, who was closest to her, and then turned to Duran.

She apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xie. It was my fault yesterday. I'm here to apologize."

"That's all right, Miss Huo. It's an honor to have been waiting for such a beauty like you. Please, have a seat," Duran said with a pretended ease.

Evelyn was led to the seat of honor. She listened quietly as Nadia introduced the others to her. "Miss Huo, this is our supplier, Mr. Li. And this is Mr. Zhang..."

The gathering was a bit unusual, considering that the contract was not settled yet. But Maddock and Duran seemed anxious enough for her to meet the suppliers.

She nodded at the others in greeting.

After downing a few glasses of liquor, Maddock said, "Miss Huo, we're waiting for another important guest. He'll be here soon. I suggest we wait to ask the server to bring the dishes until he gets here. I hope that's all right with you."

Evelyn wasn't pleased. Who was important enough to keep her waiting? She said in a flat tone, "Please ask this person to make it quick. I have another appointment to get to in half an hour."

"Oh! I'll ask his whereabouts right away." Evelyn cast a casual glance at the empty seat to her right. It was for their last guest.

About five minutes later, the doors to the private room opened, and in came Tobias and the waiter. They held the doors open on either side for the man behind them.

As Evelyn watched, Sheffield walked in, wearing a wine-red plaid suit. "Oh, Mr. Tang! You're here!" Duran exclaimed. They all stood up to welcome him with the same enthusiasm with which they had welcomed Evelyn.

"Hello, Duran. I was having dinner with Mr. Yan upstairs. I excused myself since you invited me here," Sheffield replied with a smile. He glanced around the room and his eyes fell on the woman sitting quietly in the seat of honor.

For a moment, he froze.

But it was normal for them to run into each other at such a place since they were in the same city and were both in the same business circle.

His gaze shifted to her dress. 'What is she wearing?

Is that a cheongsam?

Evelyn is wearing a cheongsam?' Sheffield finally understood why Duran seemed unusually enthusiastic.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Tang. We've been waiting for you." As one of the most popular and rich men in Y City, there were many who wanted to play up to Sheffield. And thanks to his relationship with Peterson, Duran had been able to get Sheffield's phone number.

Sheffield was led to the seat next to Evelyn. Maddock pulled his chair for him and said, "We saved the best seat for you, Mr. Tang, right next to the beautiful Miss Huo." Currently, the only enterprise in Y City that had the strength to compete against ZL Group was Theo Group, but ZL Group was still much more powerful than Theo Group.

Hence, it was only natural that the guests felt that Sheffield had the rights to sit next to Evelyn Huo.

Sheffield took his seat, and looked at the silent woman beside him. He smiled, his eyes sparkling with affection. "Miss Huo, you look gorgeous today. I've never seen you in a cheongsam before." He didn't know that she liked wearing them at all.
