True Love Waits

If Sheffield had known what Carlos had told Evelyn the previous night, he wouldn't have brought up the topic of money in front of her.

Evelyn wiped the tears off her cheeks and said in a calm voice, "I still have some money left. Why don't you take it?"

She didn't know why she said that to him. Did she really want to give him money? Or did she just want to test him?

Sheffield sighed. "Evelyn, you have to trust me," he said. "Even without performing surgeries or racing, I can still afford to do my research, and also support you. If you are curious about me, I don't mind having a face-to-face talk tonight, and we can..."

He began to flirt again. She interrupted him, "All right, I understand. Now, shut up! Go on with the surgery."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Evelyn placed her head on the office desk and felt her depression creeping up on her again.

When Calvert walked into her office, she was staring at a document in a daze. It was a subsequent document regarding the deal between ZL Group and the First General Hospital. Sheffield had signed his name on the contract on behalf of the hospital.

"Evelyn!" Calvert sat down in front of her and called her in a soft voice.

She raised her head from the document to look at him with a frown. "Why are you here?" He could now enter her office freely. Her father had granted him access.

Calvert took out two tickets from his suit pocket and placed them in front of her. "Tickets to the concert of the famous pianist, Jimmy Mi. It's on the day after tomorrow. Let's go together."

Evelyn was in no mood to go to a concert, especially with him. She refused indifferently, "Thank you, but I'm not interested."
