True Love Waits novel Chapter 1045

Hearing Evelyn's question, people who didn't believe Gillian began to curse her. "Gillian is so audacious. She tried to split up Mr. Tang and Miss Huo!"

"I'm pretty sure they're in love. Did you see his declaration of love to Miss Huo? He put it up on Theo Group's LED screen so everyone could see it. Why didn't he do it for Gillian? Probably because she's a liar!"

"Mr. Tang is so romantic. He even custom made a phone number that combined his and Miss Huo's birthdays. He is really my ideal type!"

The employees kept whispering to one another as they kept waiting for Sheffield to pick up the phone.

But he didn't answer.

At Carlos' prompting, Nadia called again. Still, no one picked up.

Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief as the call was answered at the third time.

Sheffield's attractive voice echoed throughout the finance department. "Gillian Chi, I warned you not to mess with me anymore. Remember? This had better be important. I don't like to have my time wasted." His voice was full of obvious impatience.

Gillian's face was as red as a tomato. She was so embarrassed she wished she could vanish into thin air.

After a moment's silence, the voice on the other end became colder. "Don't call me again." "Beep, beep, beep—"

He hung up the phone.

Evelyn grinned. Sheffield had played his part well, though he had no idea what was going on here.

The voices whispering to each other became angrier. They didn't imagine Gillian could be such a bitch.

Without giving Gillian a chance to do anything, Evelyn pulled out her phone and made a call to Sheffield herself.

The phone rang again. It was the same ringtone. But the difference was that Sheffield picked up almost as it rang.

The gentle and surprised voice on the other end was totally different from the previous impatient one. "Eve, my sweetheart, miss me already?"

"Ahem!" Evelyn choked on her saliva and coughed.

Gillian was soon abandoned as a topic of discussion. Now all they wanted to talk about was how sweet Sheffield was to Evelyn.

Her cough was not loud, but Sheffield noticed it anyway. Immediately, he became nervous. "Are you sick? You should take better care of yourself. Eve..." The staff didn't hear what he said next because Evelyn turned off the speaker.

Evelyn put her phone near her ear and lowered her head to look at her shoes. "I'm not sick. Talk to you later," she said softly.

"Well, okay. Take care. I'll be back when I can."

"Okay."

After Evelyn hung up, Carlos told Dixon, "Dixon, fire that woman now! ZL Group will never hire her again! Oh, don't forget to deduct the compensation fee for Evelyn's suit from her salary!"

"Yes, Mr. Huo."
