True Love Waits

Chapter 1044 Dear Sheffield

Gillian begged, "Sheffield and I are deeply in love. Miss Huo, please stop pestering him. I know you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and I am not as good as you, but please don't do this to me. Please don't steal my boyfriend!"

Almost everyone in the city knew about Sheffield and Evelyn; the employees of ZL Group were no exception.

But Gillian's sudden outburst took them by surprise. Although they were shocked by the news, they didn't dare to raise their heads to look at Gillian or Evelyn. They could only lend their ears while they pretended to be engrossed in work.

Many in the finance department knew that Sheffield had gone as Gillian's partner for the department dinner once. So, at least some of them were uncertain as to what to believe.

"What's going on here?"

A familiar voice came from behind Evelyn. She turned around and asked in surprise, "Dad?"

"Mr. Huo?" Gillian said in feigned surprise. She had long before seen him walking toward them.

Carlos and Dixon approached the two women. Carlos looked at Gillian, his eyes as sharp as daggers. "What did you just say?" he asked.

There was pin-drop silence around him. That was the kind of power Carlos wielded; the situation was now under his complete control.

Gillian was startled by his piercing look. She lowered her head to avoid his sharp gaze, and tried to sound upset. "Sheffield told me that he was being forced to be with Miss Huo. She is so domineering that he has no choice but to listen to her."

She had heard that Carlos was against Evelyn and Sheffield's relationship, so she assumed that he would grab this chance to split them up forever.

After all, Sheffield was in another city at the moment. There was no way for him to defend himself.
