His daughter was more important than work. Carlos wouldn't sacrifice his daughter's health on the altar of work.
"It's cool. I'll be in later, Dad."
"Okay. Be careful on the way. Remember to grab some breakfast first."
"Will do, Dad. Bye."
After hanging up, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Sheffield, who held her and the quilt tightly. She commented abruptly, "Why do I feel like I'm having an affair with you?"
Sheffield was stunned for a moment. He chuckled and said with a smile, "I can see that. But why stop? I'm enjoying this."
Evelyn rolled her eyes at him.
"Do you want more sleep?"
She wanted to sleep a while longer. Last night, Sheffield was horny, and kept her up till the wee hours. But since her father had called, she was more wide awake. "No. I don't need a nap," she said.
"Then get up, freshen up and have breakfast."
"Breakfast? You sound like you actually have some." She was wondering if he had gone out to buy it.
Sheffield grabbed her pajamas, put them on her and kissed her shoulder before he buttoned her. "Your man made it for you."
Evelyn patted his hand. "I didn't know my kitchen was that well-stocked." There was nothing in her freezer.
"I stopped by the store when I went jogging this morning."
'Jogging?'
Evelyn threw a glance at his body. No wonder he had such a good shape. It turned out he exercised a lot.
After breakfast, Evelyn got in her car and Tayson drove her to the office. Sheffield pointed his car toward the hospital. Although they were going the same way, Evelyn didn't let Sheffield drive her to work, because she didn't want Carlos to find out about it.
In the regional CEO's office, Evelyn stood in front of the window, holding her phone in her hands, and was lost in thought for a long while. She looked out at the city, and knew the guy had an important surgery to perform that day. Finally, she decided to text him to cheer him on. "Good luck!"
Though it was only a short message, Sheffield, who was going to change into the sterile surgical gown, grinned from ear to ear. He immediately tex
signedly. She wondered if every daughter was monitored so intently by their fathers.
"Well, okay then. Do you need Dad along?" Carlos thought that Evelyn had never gone shopping alone, so he wanted to go with her. Maybe he could steer her in the right direction when she didn't know what to buy.
"Thanks, Dad. But you don't need to come with me. Enjoy your lunch. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay then. Be careful."
"Okay, bye, Dad." After hanging up, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not easy for her to get her father's permission.
After leaving the company, Evelyn got into her car and headed towards Shining International Plaza.
Evelyn knew what she wanted to buy before coming to the mall. When she got there, she got out of the car and rushed towards a shop.
Seeing a customer in an expensive outfit come in, the saleswoman immediately welcomed her with a professional smile, "Welcome, ma'am... Miss...Miss Huo?" The saleswoman recognized Evelyn immediately for she was quite popular now. She greeted Evelyn more respectfully, "Good afternoon, Miss Huo. May I help you?"
Evelyn's eyes swept across the counters and then she pointed at a box. "Take it out. I want to have a look."
"Yes, Miss Huo." The saleswoman jogged over to the store manager and told him that the regional CEO of ZL Group was here. The manager immediately put aside his work and came over.
