Take My Breath Away

"I believe you when you say Mr. Tang has never treated his employees this way. But that's because no one has ever provoked him like Gillian has provoked me." Evelyn stared coldly at the two sisters, giving off an intimidating aura.

Lea remained silent for a while. Evelyn was right. Considering Evelyn's status and taking into account the fact that Gillian had started it, Lea made an effort to smoothen the situation over. "You're right. It's Gillian's fault. I'll make sure she doesn't repeat this."

With a lukewarm attitude, Sheffield said to Gillian, "Don't show your face to either of us again. I don't want you anywhere near me or my girlfriend." Every time Gillian was involved, Evelyn would flare up. He didn't want her to be unhappy, and the best solution was to get Gillian out of their lives.

Sheffield's words hit Gillian hard. She didn't care what Evelyn said, but Sheffield's warning hurt her. She asked, "How could you do this to me, Sheffield?"

He held Evelyn's hand and asked in confusion, "Why can't I do this to you? What do I care?"

Embarrassed, Gillian bit her lower lip and argued, "I...I'm your father's sister-in-law; I'm your aunt! You should respect me!" But she didn't want to be his aunt. She wanted to be his wife.

Sheffield burst into laughter and Evelyn scoffed at her pathetic attempt. He countered sarcastically, "I don't even accept your sister as my stepmother. You think I give a damn about you?"

The two women were embarrassed by his words, and Lea's face froze. She held the irritated Gillian's hand and said, "Sheffield, it's not right to say such things. We're your family now. Gillian and I just wanted to say hi. We didn't mean for all this to happen. Evelyn, don't fire Gillian. She loves this job and works hard too. I don't think ZL Group would want to lose an honest employee. Am I right?"

Evelyn wasn't convinced. "We do cherish talented people. But I won't allow someone so unethical to work for me."

Clasping Gillian's hand tightly, Lea continued

gize on her behalf. I'm sorry."

Evelyn didn't bother to reply. She took Sheffield's hand and left the place.

After they got into the car, she heaved a sigh. Sheffield smiled and gently kissed on her lips. He coaxed, "Don't be angry now, okay?"

Returning his smile, Evelyn said, "I'm just so annoyed with her."

Sheffield held her hand. "It was my fault."

His soft tone dispelled the annoyance in her. "Well, since you agree that it was your fault, stay away from other women from now on!"

"Yes, honey. As you say!" Sheffield embraced her and kissed her again.

Evelyn kissed him back. "This kiss is your reward for your good behavior this afternoon and for doing me a huge favor."

Sheffield grinned, "The kiss is not enough. Eve..."

He moved closer to her, but she pushed him away. "Fine. But not now, and definitely not here! Let's go. I have an important dinner. Pick me up when it's over, and we'll go to your place, okay?"

"Sounds good," he compromised and kissed her again before letting her go.

That night, before Sheffield could pick up Evelyn from dinner, he was called about an emergency in the branch company. He had to go deal with it.

On his way, he called her. She was in the middle of dinner. "Peterson Tang can't make it, so I have to be there.

This is the easiest way to solve the problem."
