True Love Waits novel Chapter 994

Evelyn had just gotten settled in her office when her phone rang. It was Carlos. "What's going on with the supervisor of the finance department?"

Evelyn knew Carlos was just asking. There was nothing accusatory in his tone. "Nothing serious. She got too big for her britches," she explained.

"That's my girl!" he beamed. "I raised you to be a fighter. If someone challenges you, you fight back. Don't worry about a thing. I'll be there for you if anything happens."

Evelyn smiled, "Yeah, I know. Thank you, Dad."

"I'm your dad. I'm always on your side. And I do trust you. Get back together with Sheffield if you want. But if he makes you unhappy, cut him loose. You're better than that, you know?" He was used to wielding power. He could fire as many employees as he wanted—for example, the supervisor of the finance department. But Sheffield was another matter entirely. His daughter loved the guy, and that made all the difference.

But if Sheffield hurt her again, he would step in and deal with him.

He wasn't going to let that happen, no matter what.

"I know, Dad."

That afternoon, Nadia and Evelyn had a meeting. Carlos had gotten wind of how Gillian had gotten hired. The general manager who interviewed her was bribed.

After her encounter with Evelyn, she had been punished. But Gillian was a hard worker. So instead of being fired, she just got busted down to team leader. And she'd have to take pass the qualification test to stay employed there. The general manager who hired her was also involved, and he was demoted as well.

Although this matter was not earth-shattering, it still caused a stir among the employees at ZL Group.

It was because Evelyn was in the middle of it. And after she was demoted, Gillian was punished again by Carlos. He was looking out for his daughter.

People started to gossip about Gillian, the woman who was foolish enough to offend the princess!

It didn't matter whether she was in the right or not. The point was, she had messed with the wrong person, and she would be the one who was wrong in the end.

That night, Gillian went to the Tang Residence.

In the Tang Residence

Near dinnertime, the old house was brightly lit. Several servants were busying themselves serving meals in the dining room. The living room was occupied by the women.

Four or five women were trying to comfort one of their number who was crying. "Don't cry. You can't go back and change anything. Be more careful in the future!" The woman who spoke was the wife of Peterson's second son.

Lea echoed, "Yeah. Evelyn Huo's father is Carlos Huo. She's untouchable."

With tearful eyes, Gillian said in a low voice, "I know you worked hard to get me that job. Heck, I was the supervisor of the finance department. But Evelyn took that away from me. Your friend was punished too. Why shouldn't I cry?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, she's a Huo." Their enemies were too strong, and there was no way for Lea to fight back, so she had to just grin and bear it.

Peterson Tang's fourth son's wife indifferently glanced at the crying, delicate woman, and felt sick in her heart. "Stop crying already. Tell you what: Dad's not here yet. Why don't you go upstairs and tell him dinner's ready?"

A servant came to them and said, "Dinner is ready. Ladies, enjoy your dinner."

The women began to move in unison towards the dining room. Gillian wiped her tears and stood up after her sister did.

After a while, three men came downstairs. The head of them was Peterson Tang, followed by Sheffield and the fifth son of the Tang family, Sterling Tang.

The moment Gillian saw Sheffield, her eyes were all over him. She had intended to wash up, but when she saw him, she changed her mind and waited there for him.
