True Love Waits

Without hesitation, Sheffield put his work aside and called Matthew back.

As soon as the call got through, Matthew's assistant answered, "Hello, Mr. Tang. I'm Mr. Matthew Huo's assistant. He is in a meeting now, but he asked me to tell you that he would like to meet you at the Waterfront Cafe tonight. Would that be a good time for you, Mr. Tang?"

'Really?' Sheffield glanced at his watch only to find that it was already past nine o'clock at night. "Okay. When will his meeting end?"

"Mr. Matthew Huo has to catch the early flight tomorrow morning. This is his last meeting for the day. It has been on for about half an hour. I think it will come to an end very soon." The assistant meant to say that Sheffield should set off now and wait for Matthew at the cafe.

Sheffield smiled and replied, "I see."

After hanging up the phone, Sheffield told his subordinates to handle the rest of the work before he changed his clothes and left for the cafe.

At the Waterfront Cafe

A waiter came up to greet Sheffield enthusiastically, "Good evening, sir! Do you have a reservation?"

Sheffield thought for a second and said, "Do you have a reservation here under the name of Matthew Huo?"

"Oh, yes. Are you Mr. Tang? He has a private room reserved on the second floor. Please follow me."

Sheffield followed the waiter to the second floor of the coffee shop.

The reserved room was decorated in a modern style with an independent restroom attached to it. Several bookshelves lined up against the walls, filled with all kinds of books. On top of a large wooden table was a self-grinding coffee maker and a wide selection of coffee beans to choose from. There was also a vintage piano just next to the table; a few leather sofas and a few potted green plants. Sheffield ordered a cup of freshly ground coffee as he took a seat.

After the waiter left, he walked to the piano and opened the hinged fall-board that protected the keyboard. As his slender fingers casually struck a few keys, a beautiful tune filled the silence in the room. After falling out of interest very quickly, he slowly shut the fall-board and pulled open the curtains of the French window. The first thing that came to his sight was the building of the Theo Group. Standing in front of the French window and looking at the words "Theo Group," Sheffield fell into deep thought.

Although Theo Group was not as influential as ZL group, it was one of the leading enterprises in Y City. Both of them were internationally recognized companies, and ranked top 100 in the world. Rumors had it that the health of Theo Group's boss was getting worse every year. This news had some influence on the business of the group. This notion was made clear, in the past three years, because the financial situation of the group hadn't made any sort of progress.

half an hour later, the door was pushed open from the outside. Upon hearing the sound, Sheffield turned his head towards the
