True Love Waits

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.
