Take My Breath Away

All of a sudden, the door to Evelyn's office was pushed open and a familiar dandiacal man stepped in shortly after.

She shut her eyes and shook her head, then squinted to get a better look. She assumed that the long hours of work was causing her to hallucinate because she was staring at someone who had been gone for many days now.

With her elbows propped on the desk and her hands rubbing her temples, she tried to relieve the fatigue.

"Let me do it!" The man's gentle voice rang in her ears.

Evelyn could no longer tell whether this was dream or reality when she heard Sheffield's voice.

He put the bag in his hand on her desk and gently pressed her temples with his index fingers.

The fact that he had studied Chinese medicine before was undeniable in the way he had succeeded in calming and relaxing Evelyn's state of unease.

It wasn't until much later when Evelyn finally came to her senses and realized that he wasn't just a figment of her imagination. Instead of opening her eyes, however, she leaned her head back and softly called out his name. "Sheffield..."

All the while, Sheffield's absence had led her to believe that perhaps he did not want to see her again out of anger and resentment.

"I'm here," he said.

Evelyn's heart skipped a beat when she heard his voice again. Moreover, judging by the tone of his voice, Sheffield didn't seem angry at all.

A few minutes later, she grabbed one of his hands and said, "I'm fine now."

Sheffield embraced her from behind and kissed her softly on the head. "Did you miss me?"

Evelyn feigned indifference. "No."

Needless to say, the man was unconvinced. He gently grabbed her chin to pull her face closer and as their lips met he pecked at her lips.

A slight moan of pain escaped Evelyn's lips, her grip on his shirt tightening. She complained, "Why would you bite me?"

"I missed the taste of your lips." He stepped out from behind her and leaned against the desk.

Evelyn pursed her lips. The pain was gone. "What are you doing here?" she asked, still feigning indifference.

"I'm here to see my wife." He opened the bag he had brought along with him and said, "Look what I got you here. This is a cup of Fresh Milk Tea with Black Pearls from Nayuki, an MSW Durian Supr

Putting down the fruit fork, she stood up from his lap and started to pack her things without saying a word.

With a hand around her waist and his face against her belly, he soothed her, "Alright, alright. Don't be mad at me! That woman and I never officially dated. I don't think calling her my ex-girlfriend would be true. What made you think I was with her all these days? Even our friends from college couldn't bring us together."

'That means they tried to bring them together at some point.' Evelyn looked at him coldly and said, "If you never had any interest in her, why would they do that?"

"All right. To be honest, I was interested in her at the beginning, but later something happened and I was not interested in her anymore!"

"What happened?" she asked.

He held her by the wrist and made her sit on his lap again, hoping to tell her the details slowly.

Gillian was very beautiful. She was the campus belle. And Sheffield was the most handsome hunk in college. As with any typical college story, Sheffield's friends used to tease him and Gillian.

Everyone in college thought that they would make a great pair.

As Gillian was a good-looking girl, Sheffield didn't stop their joke at the time because he was a little interested in her.
