Sheffield looked at the hands on his arm for a second and then put on a smile. "I was a little tired after the operation yesterday. I slept in."
After finishing the phone call, Sidell gave his daughter a feigned disgruntled look and said, "Dollie, as soon as you see Sheffield, you forget everything else around you. Get rid of that habit."
Dollie said with a snort, "Dad, I haven't met him in so many days. Right, Sheffield?"
Sheffield gently touched her head, withdrew his arm out of her hands and pulled out the chair for her. "Sit down. Don't tire yourself out."
Understanding his concern, Dollie sat down in the chair shyly. She said, "Sit here, Sheffield."
He sat down beside her.
Sidell seemed satisfied. "Sheffield, there are no issues regarding your transfer to the nephrology department. But the renal transplant department is short of hands."
Leaning against the back of the chair casually, Sheffield replied, "If you don't mind, please let them call me whenever they need a helping hand."
"I'm relieved to hear that," the president said.
Sheffield smiled and said nothing more.
Sidell looked at his daughter and checked the time on his watch. He cleared his throat. "I still have a meeting to attend. Sheffield, if you have nothing else to do later, will you have lunch with Dollie?"
"Sure," Sheffield replied with a polite smile.
Hearing that, Dollie waved happily at her father and said, "Bye, Dad! Leave us alone now!"
Sidell laughed. He picked up a file from the desk and walked to the door. As he passed Sheffield, he patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Sheffield, I'll leave her to you."
There was a fleeting look in Sheffield's eyes. He understood what the president meant, but he chose to ignore it. "I assure you that I will take good care of her, Mr. Xiang."
"Then, I can rest easy." Sidell left.
The two of them were left alone in the office. Dollie moved closer to Sheffie
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
man?"
'What man?' Evelyn was confused for a moment. Then, she realized that he was referring to Sheffield. Shaking her head, she said, "No. We're just not right for each other. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"I think we're a perfect match. Evelyn, now that Rowena has moved out of our house, I've kept her at an arm's length. You don't have to be jealous of her anymore."
'Jealous?' Evelyn smirked. "I've never been jealous of her."
Calvert's eyes darkened. Evelyn knew that he wasn't happy to hear that. So what? She didn't care. It had nothing to do with her. It was not her job to make him happy.
"I promise to spend more time with you in the future." He took out a brocade box from his pocket and placed it in front of her. "When I found it in Sri Lanka, I thought of you immediately. I personally made this ring for you with the sapphire stone. I was going to use it to propose to you..."
Calvert opened the box. Inside it was a sapphire ring, which shone brightly under the lights.
Anyone could easily identify it as an invaluable top-grade gem.
Evelyn wasn't moved. She looked away from the ring and said nonchalantly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ji, but I don't need this. Please don't bother proposing to me. Like I said, we're not right for each other."
