Chapter 921 Do You Have A Death Wish
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 theb. 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''ming!"
In an instant, Sheffield put away his phone, changed his clothes and walked out of theb.
Around ten minutester, 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 hisptop and hacked into the face recognition
system of thepany.
After sessfully registering his face, he turned off theptop, put on his sunsses and got out of the
car.
As he walked to the entrance of thepany, he deliberately lowered his head and pretended to y
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 shed 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 wereing 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 thepany with some men.
Sheffield was quick to react and immediately headed in another direction.
But it was toote. Even though he was wearing sunsses, 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.
The three assistants with Carlos exchanged confused looks, but followed their boss nevertheless.
The footsteps behind him became clearer and clearer. Sheffield muttered, "Oh crap!" He picked up his
pace again.
"Stop! Which department are you from?" Carlos'' cold voice came from behind him.
Sheffield turned a deaf ear to him and continued to walk faster. In no time, he was at the end of the
corridor. He had to find another way.
Two assistants of Carlos'' ran after Sheffield, yelling, "Hey you! Stop! Mr. Huo is talking to you. Didn''t
you hear him? You, the one in the ck coat. Stop right there!" Ignoring them, Sheffield broke into a
run.
Now, Carlos was certain that it was Sheffield. He gritted his teeth and told his assistants, "Bring him to
me!"
He glowered. ''How dare that bastard! He had the balls to walk into ourpany through the front gate
in broad daylight, '' Carlos thought, basking in rage.
"Yes, Mr. Huo!" While chasing after Sheffield, one of the assistants contacted the security guards and
ordered them to besiege the intruder.
Sheffield found the stairs to the second floor, and somehow managed to get rid of the assistants
chasing after him. He then rushed into the elevator and pressed the button. Evelyn was on the 33rd
floor, but to mislead Carlos'' subordinates, he pressed the button to the 30th floor.
When the elevator reached the 30th floor, he stayed inside and pressed the button to the 40th floor this
time.
Once on the 40th floor, he quickly pulled up the hood of his coat and walked out of the elevator. He
looked around for the stairs.
It was easy to find the exit from the floor, with the obvious signs.
He walked down the staircases promptly, and when he reached the 33rd floor, he rushed towards
Evelyn''s office. When he saw Nadia''s widened eyes, he said, "Shush! Don''t tell anyone I''m here!"
Without waiting for her reply, he pushed the door open and walked into the office.
If Nadia hadn''t been able to recognize Sheffield''s voice, she would have thought that he was an
intruder.
And since she couldn''t recognize him quickly enough, she couldn''t warn him either. Nadia sighed
inwardly, ''Toote now.''
"Eve!" Sheffield called as he shut the door. When he saw the other person in the office, his eyes almost
popped out from its sockets. "Impossible! Howe you are faster than me? This is insane!"
As he spoke, he rushed to the door.
Standing in the middle of Evelyn''s office, Carlos looked coldly at Sheffield, who was making a dash for
the door. This time, he didn''t run after him.
He calmly pressed the button of the Bluetooth key in his hand. The lock on the office door fell into ce
and he was caught like a mouse in a trap.
Carlos took out his phone and dialed Dixon''s number. "Ask our securities to guard the door to Evelyn''s
office." He hung up and sat down in the chair as he told the helpless Sheffield, "If you are skilled
enough, why don''t you try and break this lock too?"
Evelyn felt sorry for him. ''I should''ve just gone to his ce instead of calling him here. This was my
fault, '' she thought.
Knowing that he couldn''t escape now, Sheffield threw back the hood and took off his sunsses. He
smiled sheepishly at Carlos and asked, "Mr. Huo, will you allow me to be with Evelyn if I unlock this
door?"
Carlos cast him a cold nce. "Do you have a death wish?"
"No. Fine, scratch that. If I unlock the door, you should let me go unscathed. Deal?" There was a time
to fight and a time to strategically retreat, and Sheffield knew that this was the time to flee for his life.
Carlos smirked and yed with his Bluetooth key. "Deal."
Sheffield looked at Evelyn, hoping that she could give him a hint.
Evelyn opened her mouth to say something, but Carlos saw through the couple''s trick and interrupted
them. "Don''t bother. I changed the password just now."
Evelyn frowned in frustration.
Sheffield gave Carlos a thumbs up and said in a sarcasmced tone, "Well yed." He walked to the
door and looked at the password lock for a few seconds.
It was thetest password lock, much more advanced than the smart lock in his apartment.
"Dad." Evelyn couldn''t stand it anymore and got up from her chair.
Carlos raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to sit down. "I have taught you many times to be calm
in any situation, no matter what happens. He''s only been here for a few minutes. What''s the rush?"
Evelyn didn''t know what to do or say.

Sheffield winked at her and mouthed the words, "Don''t worry."
Evelyn believed that Sheffield was a brilliant man. It was just thatmon people wouldn''t be able to
decode the lock.
After observing it for a while, Sheffield asked Carlos, "Mr. Huo, may I use Evelyn''sptop?"
Carlos had no idea what he was nning to do. "There are a lot of important documents on herptop.
No one is allowed to use it." That meant Sheffield couldn''t touch it.
"Dad, he can use my desktopputer..." Evelyn cut in. Although there were some documents on her
desktopputer, they were not as important as those on herptop.
Carlos frowned at his daughter''s meddling, but Sheffield dashed towards herputer and blew her a
kiss.
Evelyn stepped aside and reminded him in a low voice, "Don''t push yourself too much. We can find
another way to get you out of here."
Sheffield sat down in her chair. Instead of replying to her concern, he patted her chair and said, "Your
chair is reallyfortable. I should get one of these for my home."
Carlos sneered, "You are not rich enough to afford that chair." He wanted to seize every chance to
mock Sheffield, just in case the doctor turned the tables some day in the future.
