Take My Breath Away

Evelyn snapped out of her thoughts, depressed as she remembered the past. She scratched her long hair, annoyed and restless.

Her phone buzzed at that moment. It was a message from Sheffield. "Sorry, Eve. I didn't have my phone on me. I was in the lab. Are you okay now? Forget the past. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. It doesn't matter. But promise me that you'll never see that guy alone again."

She bit her lower lip and fretfully bent over the desk. Finally, she texted him back. "I want to see you, Sheffield."

"I'm coming!"

In an instant, Sheffield put away his phone, changed his clothes and walked out of the lab.

Around ten minutes later, he reached the entrance of ZL Group. One look at the heavy security and he knew that he couldn't just talk his way in. He took out his laptop and hacked into the face recognition system of the company.

After successfully registering his face, he turned off the laptop, put on his sunglasses and got out of the car.

As he walked to the entrance of the company, he deliberately lowered his head and pretended to play with his phone. Then, as low-key as he could, he stood in front of the face recognition scanner.

"Clear!"

the robotic sound from the scanner confirmed. The two security guards at the door, who were staring at Sheffield for a moment, looked away.

Sheffield flashed a smug smile as he smoothly walked past the security.

However, the very next second, the smile froze on his face. A group of people were coming in his direction and he broke out into a cold sweat. He thought to himself, 'Lady Luck has obviously turned her back against me! Of all the people in the world, I had to run into the one person who hates me the most right now!' Carlos was leaving the company with some men.

Sheffield was quick to react and immediately headed in another direction.

But it was too late. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, Carlos still recognized him.

Carlos' face darkened. He walked towards the doctor in quick strides. When he heard the footsteps behind him, Sheffield quickened his pace too.

The three assistants with Carlos exchanged confused looks, but followed their boss nevertheless.

The footsteps behind him became clearer and clearer. Sheffield muttered, "Oh crap!" He picked up his pace again.

"Stop! Which department

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.

n his apartment.

"Dad." Evelyn couldn't stand it anymore and got up from her chair.

Carlos raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to sit down. "I have taught you many times to be calm in any situation, no matter what happens. He's only been here for a few minutes. What's the rush?"

Evelyn didn't know what to do or say.

Sheffield winked at her and mouthed the words, "Don't worry."

Evelyn believed that Sheffield was a brilliant man. It was just that common people wouldn't be able to decode the lock.

After observing it for a while, Sheffield asked Carlos, "Mr. Huo, may I use Evelyn's laptop?"

Carlos had no idea what he was planning to do. "There are a lot of important documents on her laptop. No one is allowed to use it." That meant Sheffield couldn't touch it.

"Dad, he can use my desktop computer..." Evelyn cut in. Although there were some documents on her desktop computer, they were not as important as those on her laptop.

Carlos frowned at his daughter's meddling, but Sheffield dashed towards her computer and blew her a kiss.

Evelyn stepped aside and reminded him in a low voice, "Don't push yourself too much. We can find another way to get you out of here."

Sheffield sat down in her chair. Instead of replying to her concern, he patted her chair and said, "Your chair is really comfortable. I should get one of these for my home."

Carlos sneered, "You are not rich enough to afford that chair." He wanted to seize every chance to mock Sheffield, just in case the doctor turned the tables some day in the future.
