True Love Waits novel Chapter 999

Sitting in his seat, Sheffield fixed his eyes on the female CEO who shone like a goddess not far from him. He appreciated her skills. He didn't expect that Evelyn was so good at winning people's support.

People in the programming department were quite excited, but the employees of the finance department were quite envious of them.

Some of them were dissatisfied, saying that Evelyn was playing favorites. But someone who knew how hard the programmers worked said, "The programmers code day and night, their lives dedicated to their projects and the company. No one's saying we don't work hard, but they do it at the cost of their health."

Those who were still unconvinced didn't dare say anything more for fear of being scolded by others.

As everyone started to relax, a brave young man thought he was clever. "Miss Huo, are you single? I'd love to go out with you."

"Hahaha! In your dreams." Another employee laughed out loud.

"She is the eldest princess of our CEO. Don't even think about it. Go and earn tens of billions of dollars first, then you can ask again!"

"Tens of billions? You kidding me?"

"Hahaha..."

That end of the restaurant was loud with laughter and chatter.

Evelyn hadn't paid much attention to the people in the finance department. With a smile, she told everyone in the programming department, "I'm sorry. I already have a boyfriend. But I hope you guys find someone even hotter than me."

"Wow, she has a boyfriend? Who is he, Miss Huo? He must be something special to be with you. Those other idiots never had a chance," someone joked.

Evelyn asked Nadia to refill her glass with wine and apologized, "I'm sorry. It's not the right time yet. I'll tell you later. Thanks for asking, though. To a bright future!"

She raised her glass to propose a toast. They all knew that Evelyn couldn't stay long, so they all stood up with glasses of wine or juice in their hands. Under the starlight, the employees of the programming department raised their glasses and toasted the booming business of ZL Group.

The employees greeted Evelyn warmly as she walked from one side of the restaurant to the other. That was where the finance department's table was.

She nodded to everyone there with a smile. "Mr. Huo is on a business trip, so he couldn't be here. I came here to propose a toast on his behalf. Thank you for your hard work..." Her voice paused when her gaze landed on a man among them.

It was just a short pause, and she continued in a calm voice, "Just now, we upgraded the grand prize for the most outstanding employee of the programming department. But we'd never forget our guys and gals in finance." She turned to the manager and said, "Miss Wang, I'll let you do the honors."

"Yes, Miss Huo."

Everyone was now excited. Evelyn shifted her gaze back to them. "With so many women in the finance department, I think a Lamborghini is not good enough. How about we set the grand prize to be a house in Y City? What do you think?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she was negotiating with everyone.

Everyone was shocked, and then just like the programming department, the finance department was in an uproar. They exclaimed, "Wow! Amazing!"

"Do you know the average price of an apartment in Y City? Tens of thousands per square meter? Even a 100 square meter house would run you several million."

"Did Miss Huo mean it? A house in the city?"

Inadvertently, Evelyn's eyes met Sheffield's, then she looked at the silent Gillian sitting next to him. She realized Gillian probably invited him.

Concealing the disappointment in her eyes, Evelyn moved her eyes away and interrupted their musings. "Every employee will have this opportunity. I hope you'll work hard from now on and work your way up in ZL Group."

"Thank you, Miss Huo!"
