Take My Breath Away

"Hello." Evelyn was playing on her phone, so when Sheffield called her, she picked up quickly.

He could hear her soft voice clearly in the quiet room. It warmed his heart. "Eve, I need to see you," Sheffield said in a hoarse voice.

"Now?" Evelyn turned to look at Savannah, who was sitting next to her. She hadn't seen Savannah in a while and was enjoying catching up.

"Yeah, now!" Sheffield couldn't wait another second. His heart was practically leaping from his chest.

Evelyn didn't want to say goodbye to Savannah yet. "Not a good time. How about tomorrow? I'm with Savannah now," she said, pouting.

"Hey, if you need to go, then do it. Remember, I'm back in the city for good, so we can meet up whenever you like. I'm good. Really. Just drop me off at my place and do what you gotta do," Savannah offered.

Evelyn hesitated for a while and then nodded her head. "Okay. I need to drive Savannah home first. Where do you wanna meet?" she asked.

"Anywhere is fine by me," Sheffield answered.

It was not until then that Evelyn realized that something was wrong with him. But she couldn't just come out and ask him right now. Not with Savannah there. And because of that, Evelyn was too shy to suggest meeting him at his apartment, so she said, "All right. Call you when I'm done."

"Okay."

After ending the call, Evelyn looked at Savannah, who was smiling. "Evelyn, I'm so glad that you met your Mr. Right."

She didn't know if Sheffield really loved Evelyn, but she knew her friend definitely had it bad for him. When she answered his call, she was practically glowing. Her mood lifted. She was a completely different person.

Compared to her indifference in the past, she was now tender and shy.

Evelyn lowered her head and said shyly, "Thank you." She herself was glad that she met a guy like Sheffield. She grabbed Savannah's hands and said, "Savannah, believe me. You'll meet the right guy someday."

Savannah lowered her head and looked at her legs, shaking her head. 'Even my own mother hates me. No man's gonna fall in love with a cripple, ' she thought bitterly.

When Sheffield walked out of the cafe, he spotted a group of people leaving the offices of the Theo Group. He didn't get into his car; instead, he walked across the road to get a better look.

A dozen led a gray-haired man to a car, and made sure he was safely inside. The deference they showed hi

s he passed through the green plants, he pounced.

Sheffield didn't even have time to get back in his car, but that wasn't his intent. He grabbed the guy's arm, and tried to redirect the attack.

The man countered, and did a spin jump that Sheffield backed up and avoided. The man landed adroitly. Sheffield figured out this guy must know martial arts.

Knowing that his opponent was a skilled martial artist, he shut out all other thoughts and concentrated on dealing with the guy.

Every time the man attacked, his dagger was aimed at Sheffield's heart. But Sheffield managed to dodge the dagger every time. He stayed just out of range, and the man couldn't reach him.

Sheffield tried to rip off the guy's mask, but he wasn't having any. Every time Sheffield tried to close, the man put his dagger in the way.

He took the scalpel from his pocket and spun it in his hand. He grabbed the scalpel firmly and began to fight back with the man brandishing the dagger. Every time the man thrust the dagger forward, Sheffield would try to cut him with the scalpel.

During the fight, Sheffield's phone slipped from his pocket and slid to the middle of the road.

Sheffield had no time to pick up his phone, as he had to concentrate on dealing with his foe.

A moment later, his phone rang. He knew it was Evelyn calling. He wanted to pick it up and answer it, but had to be quick to evade the man in black.

Not only that, the enemy took advantage of this and ruthlessly thrust the sharp dagger toward Sheffield's heart. He turned to dodge, but the attacker cut his shoulder with the dagger.
