Chapter 1040 Princess Evelyn''s Wrath


    At the end of the runway, Sheffield turned dashingly while ttering his knee-length green trench coat.


    His move was so charming that even Evelyn blushed as she watched him. How she wished she could


    raise her voice and cheer for him like the other girls were doing.


    Fortunately, Sheffield''s eyes were only for Evelyn. In the sea of people, he immediately spotted her and


    couldn''t help but wink at her.


    His charming gesture enchanted not only Evelyn but also the other women who saw it. They just


    couldn''t take their eyes off him.


    When Sheffield was making his way to the backstage, Evelyn immediately followed. Enticed by his


    charm, she didn''t even care about the fact that he was changing his clothes. Suddenly, she was like a


    different person, so far from her usual coy and reserved self. While everyone was looking at her with

    their prying eyes, she calmly followed him into the changing room.


    It was not until Evelyn saw Sheffield''s bare chest that she realized she had gotten too excited and had


    walked in without thinking. "Well done!" she said after giving an awkward cough to conceal her


    embarrassment.


    "As long as you''re satisfied with it," Sheffield said while he confidently walked up closer to her. He


    stopped in front of her and kissed her on the lips without hesitation.


    Evelyn faked a cough again. This time, to hide her burning cheeks. She clumsily said, "I think you were


    great out there. Hurry and change your clothes now!" In fact, he needed to model seven more sets of


    clothes.


    Fully aware that they didn''t have much time, Sheffield controlled himself and moved away from her.


    After Evelyn had left the fitting room, he hastily put on the next set of clothing.


    By the time Sheffield was modeling the third set of outfit, the event had almost turned into his personal


    fashion show.


    Whenever he would step onto the stage, the atmosphere would transform into that of a popr singer''s


    concert. High-pitched screams and cheers could be heard from every part of the venue. Everyone had


    their phones up, documenting his every move.


    The video and photos of him modeling were soon posted on the Inte, and all kinds of topics about


    him could be seen on every social media tform.


    On every page, people were admiring Sheffield for modeling on the runway without reservations in


    order to support his girlfriend''s career and make her happy.


    Among Sheffield''s pictures on the stage was one in which Evelyn was standing at the foot of the stage.


    She was adoringly watching him while apuding to her heart''s content.


    Soon enough, the online discussions turned to the fact that it was the ZL Group who organized the


    event and Evelyn was the person in charge. So naturally, Sheffield modeled on the stage to help


    Evelyn out.


    The love between the two was so enchanting in the eyes of theizens. All of them were happy for the


    couple. Aizen whose username was Lovely Ducklingmented, "After breaking up with Calvert


    Ji, Evelyn Huo has found a better boyfriend."


    Another user called Thirteen said, "When Evelyn was still with that Calvert, I never saw love in her eyes


    when she looked at that guy. Turns out it wasn''t my illusion. It was true! Do you all see the way Evelyn


    looks at Sheffield? That''s true love!"


    Cool CEO''s Jackfruitmented, "I can''t believe that Sheffield Tang did this for Evelyn, leaving his


    Fan of Princess Evelyn said, "I wish our Princess Evelyn and Sheffield Tang nothing but happiness


    from now on."


    The fashion show of ZL Group was a big sess. At the backstage, Sheffield was aggressively


    removing his make-up while looking at the mirror. It was the first time that he wore make-up so he didn''t


    expect that it would be so difficult to remove.


    Fortunately, after vigorously scrubbing his face for ten minutes, he was finally done.


    Meanwhile, Evelyn was talking with some employees about work while she was waiting for him. When


    she noticed that he was about toe out, she quickly parted with the employees and walked towards


    him.


    She saw the lingering irritation in his face and immediately asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "From now on, you should stop wearing make-up," he seriously advised while looking at her.


    "Why?" she curiously asked,pletely clueless why Sheffield had said that. After all, it was as normal


    as breathing for women to wear make-up.


    "I just found out a few moments ago that it''s too troublesome to remove it. Besides, you don''t need any


    make-up," he exined. Sheffield thought that Evelyn''s skin was fair and youthful so she didn''t need


    any make-up at all.


    Evelyn was very amused by the impatience in his face at that moment. "Don''t I look good when I wear


    make-up?"


    "No, that''s not what I meant. Others wear make-up to cover their imperfections while for you, make-up


    just makes you look more beautiful." Then, Sheffield pulled her closer towards him and held her into his


    arms. He thought, ''It feels so good to be able to finally hold her in public.''


    "You''re such a smooth-talker." Evelyn waved him off while she tried to hide the smile on her face. Even


    during that very intimate and private moment, a lot of people were taking pictures with their phones. But


    she didn''t mind. She left the venue with Sheffield while they were holding hands and giggling to each


    other.


    What they didn''t know was that two sisters had been waiting for them outside. The two women walked


    up to them as soon as they saw the couple. "Sheffield! Miss Huo!" one of the women called.


    Evelyn looked over and saw Lea and Gillian standing not far away from them. Both of them were


    wearing a dress, obviously making an effort.


    In an instant, the bliss of the moment that Evelyn was having with Sheffield vanished. Unconsciously,


    she leaned closer to Sheffield.


    Lea greeted Evelyn with fake cordiality. "Hi, Evelyn. It''s nice to see you again."


    "You too," Evelyn answered with a faint smile.


    Gillian, however, didn''t even pretend to be d in seeing Evelyn. To make the matter worse, she


    looked at Sheffield as if Evelyn wasn''t there, and said, "We''re going home. Sheffield, how about you?"


    Raising his eyebrows, Sheffield gave Gillian a meaningful look and responded, "Coincidentally, I''m


    taking my wife home as well."


    "Have the two of you reconciled?" Gillian tantly asked.


    "Not yet." His answer made the three women, including Evelyn, stunned. Evelyn turned to him and


    looked at his face in confusion.


    Then he added, "I haven''t formally apologized to my wife yet. Therefore, as of this moment, we haven''t


    made up yet. I can''t just apologize so casually. After all, an apology needs to be done in a certain


    setting with utmost sincerity. Perhaps, you two can put in a good word for me so that it would be much


    easier for Evelyn to forgive me."


    The two sisters were stunned for a while. They slowly exchanged ufortable looks.


    Did they hear him right? Did he just say that he wanted them to plead with Evelyn for him? They were


    so confused that they wondered if Sheffield was ttering them or consciously embarrassing them.


    Despite her uncertainty as to Sheffield''s actual intentions, Lea broke the silence. In a tone tinged of


    superiority, she stated, "Evelyn, Sheffield is a nice person. He is just very yful. Why not let the past


    be the past? Forgive him."


    Then, Gillian pursed her lips and scoffed with a wicked smile on her face, "Sister, there are a lot of


    people who don''t cherish what they have. There''s more of these ungrateful people than you know.


    They always feel superior. Even if they know that they''re in the wrong, they will just wait for the other


    person to apologize to them. Huh, so naive and stupid. Anyways, Sheffield has always been popr.


    Everywhere he goes, women would always throw themselves at him. So really, you better hold on to


    him."


    When Sheffield heard that ridiculous monologue, he was about to hit the woman. But as if by instinct,


    Evelyn grabbed his hand, silently telling him not to do it. But Evelyn wasn''t going to just let it go. So


    instead, she confronted Gillian herself. "Gillian, have you forgotten your ce? I''m going to make this


    simple for you, okay? As your boss, I''m giving you two choices. One, don''t show up in front of me from


    now on, or two, have your resignation letter on my desk, first thing tomorrow morning."


    Since Gillian had provoked her again and again, Evelyn finally decided to get rid of this troublemaker


    once and for all.


    Gillian didn''t expect that Evelyn would give her the ultimatum. Evelyn''s strong and straight-to-the-point


    statement made Gillian''s insides curl. "Evelyn Huo, we are not in thepany right now. You don''t


    have any right to make me do anything," Gillian snapped back.


    "You''re right. Indeed, we are not on thepany''s premises right now. But it doesn''t change anything. I


    am still your boss. I can make you go back to the office and turn your off-duty times into office hours.


    You''re going for technicalities, huh? Do you want me to repeat what I just said while we''re in the office?


    I can definitely do that."


    Gillian''s face nearly deformed. But still, she fought back. "What about my choice? What if I don''t


    choose from the options that you gave me? What can you do about it?"


    "It''s simple. If you don''t, then I''ll fire you. Right here. Right now. So as you can see, it''s better if you


    make the choice," Evelyn casually stated while emphasizing her words.


    Noticing that Sheffield had no intention of standing up for Gillian, Lea pulled her enraged sister aside to


    make her stop and took a step forward herself. She then said to Evelyn with an awkward smile, "I don''t


    think it''s appropriate for you to do this, Evelyn. Peterson has been a leader for his whole life and I''ve


    never seen him treat his employees this way. If anyone were to know that you did this to Gillian, it''s not


    going to be good for your reputation."
