True Love Waits novel Chapter 1015

Gillian feigned anger and rebuked the security guard, "Mind your manners. Why can't I help Miss Huo with it? It's not a minor issue. Miss Huo, we're very sorry. I'll ask my brother-in-law and Sheffield to teach these security guards some due lessons."

Evelyn didn't move from her place. "It doesn't matter, Miss Chi, thank you. You've been very kind as to do me this favor."

"You're welcome, Miss Huo. I can come and go to Sheffield's office at my will. So, is this some kind of late-night snacks for him?" Gillian glanced at the takeout boxes with the logo of the restaurant on the fifth floor of Alioth Building.

"Yes," Evelyn said frankly.

Gillian's smile deepened. "Oh good." She took the takeout boxes, along with the gift bag, from the security guard's hands. "I'll give them to him. I'm heading to his office now."

"Thank you," Evelyn said and walked to her car.

She didn't get in until Gillian disappeared into the company.

"Miss Huo, why didn't you go upstairs to meet Mr. Tang?" Felix asked, confused by her decision. He had seen them hugging earlier that day. 'Didn't they restore their relationship?'

Evelyn smiled resignedly. "I made him angry again." If she was stopped at the gate of Theo Group or at the door to Sheffield's office again, it would be embarrassing. She might as well not go up at all.

Felix saw the helpless look on her face, yet there was a happy smile tugging at the corners of her lips. He refrained from asking any more questions and got into the driver's seat.

In the CEO's office of Theo Group

When Gillian arrived at the assistant's office, she did not see Tobias in there. Some other assistant was on duty. The assistant stood up as soon as he saw her and greeted, "Hello, Miss Chi."

"Hello. I'm here to see Sheffield."

"Please wait for a moment, Miss Chi. I'll let Mr. Tang know."

"Okay." She had come to find Sterling's assistant earlier, but had decided not to go to Sheffield's office at the time. She knew that he wouldn't allow her in without a good reason.

When Sheffield heard from his assistant that Gillian was outside his office, he refused without hesitation, "Tell her I'm busy."

The assistant reported back to her calmly, "Sorry, Miss Chi. Mr. Tang is busy right now and he does not want any guests at the moment."

'Just as expected, ' she thought. Taking out her phone, she called Sheffield directly. When he answered, she said, "I've come at Evelyn's request."

The door to his office was opened in a few seconds.

Gillian walked into the office, carrying the takeout boxes and the gift bag.

Inside, Sheffield gave her a quick glance and asked, "What is it?"

She put the things on his desk. "Are you hungry? Come and eat something. It's still hot."

Sheffield was pretty hungry, so he did not refuse. He put down his pen and went to wash his hands before sitting down at the table.

Gillian placed two delicate dishes and a bowl of rice in front of him.

There were two pairs of chopsticks in the plastic bag. She sat next to Sheffield and handed him a pair of chopsticks, while holding the other pair in her hand. She was going to eat with him.

"You came here at Evelyn's request?" Sheffield asked as he put a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

"Yes, she asked me to bring you this food and the gift," said Gillian. Lying wasn't going to do her any good.

Sheffield's hand froze in mid-air. "Evelyn bought this food for me?"

"Yes. And this too." She gave the paper bag to him.

Sheffield put down the chopsticks and opened the bag. Inside it was a wine-red striped tie. "Where is she?" he asked, his eyes fixed on the tie.
