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 hisplete 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 rtionship, 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.
Carlos walked past the cleaningdy and stared at the tea stain on Evelyn''s suit. "Who made your suit
dirty?"
His tone softened as he approached his daughter.
Evelyn cast a sidelong nce at the anxious Gillian and exined, "I bumped into Miss Chi by
ident." She was not sure whether her father would believe Gillian''s words and misunderstand her
rtionship with Sheffield.
Carlos turned to Gillian. "Aren''t you the supervisor of the finance department who was demoted by
Evelyn recently?"
Some of the employees looked up discreetly at this point. Gillian felt embarrassed that he had brought
that up. Nevertheless, she replied, "Yes, Mr. Huo."
"Evelyn, you are too softhearted. What was the point of keeping an employee like her at ZL Group?
You should''ve fired her," Carlos said coldly, and then turned to Gillian again. "You just said Sheffield
loved you. Then, why is he marrying Evelyn?"
Evelyn knew that Carlos wouldn''t let go of the matter easily. She pulled at his suit and whispered, "Dad,
there are employees here. Let''s talk about it when we get back to the office, okay?"
Carlos looked at her as she tried to tug him away. ''Evelyn, this should be solved in front of them.
Otherwise, people will misunderstand you and throw mud at you.'' He stood his ground. "Why should
we leave? Everyone has seen and heard what is going on here. So, it''s best we solve this issue right
away."
His tone was firm, and Evelyn knew that there was no point in arguing with her father after he had
made a decision. That would just serve to make him mad.
But Gillian was still hoping that Carlos would not allow his daughter to be with Sheffield after this. She
took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Huo, as I said, Sheffield is being forced to be with Miss Huo. He told
me that she had gone to D City on her own to get back together with him."
Evelyn couldn''t help but snort. ''Really? She wants to y this little trick in front of my father? How
naive.''
Carlos replied in a cold voice, "Fine. I believe you." Then, he turned to Evelyn. "Why don''t you dump
him now? Let''s see if he is still willing to choose you over Miss Chi."
Gillian wasn''t sure where this was going, but she nodded and said, "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Huo."
After a moment''s consideration, Carlos said, "Actually, we have so many of our people here, while you
are all by yourself. People might think we are bullying you. How about this? You call Sheffield and tell
him that Evelyn doesn''t want him anymore. Let''s see what he says. Oh, don''t forget to put it on
speaker. We want to hear how relieved he is after being dumped by Evelyn."
Gillian froze. ''He asks me to call Sheffield?'' She managed to force a smile while her hands and legs
trembled. "Mr. Huo, he''s on a business trip. He might be busy."
Carlos raised his eyebrows. "That''s not true. No matter how busy a man is, he would always make time
to pick up a call from his beloved woman. I have been in Sheffield''s ce too, and I would never miss a
call from my wife."
Just as Carlos finished his words, the employees turned their heads towards him. Someone eximed
in a hushed voice, "Oh my God! Mr. Huo spoils his wife so much! He just confessed his love for her out
loud."
"He is such an amazing husband!"
"He''s right. Miss Chi just needs to make the phone call and we''ll know whether she''s telling the truth."
Gillian just stood there, not knowing what to do. Carlos'' face darkened. The temperature around him
seemed to have declined to freezing levels. "Are you aware of how much thispany is losing while
Evelyn and I stand here, doing nothing? Can you afford topensate? Don''t waste our time. Call him
now!"
Carlos barked, his eyes ferociously fixed on her.
Gillian trembled in fear. She fumbled for the phone in her pocket and unlocked it slowly.
Carlos knew that she was stalling for time. "Make the call for her," he ordered Nadia.
"Yes, Mr. Huo,"
she replied, looking at the woman in contempt. ''First, it was Dollie. And now, thisdy. Why are there so
many brainless women around Sheffield?'' she thought to herself.
''Does she really think that she canpete with Miss Huo? Miss Huo can deal with this woman even
without Mr. Huo''s help. She is no pushover.
No matter how many women turn up to destroy her rtionship with Sheffield, Miss Huo will always
find a way to deal with them.''
Nadia snatched Gillian''s phone from her shaky hands and searched her contact list. "Miss Chi, what
have you saved Mr. Tang''s contact as?"
Gillian didn''t answer.
Evelyn sighed and said indifferently, "Search for the number, 1881212..." She paused after saying
"1212." It was her birthday.
After she recited thest four digits of Sheffield''s phone number, Evelyn''s voice trailed off. She
remembered that his birthday was in March.
That was when she finally figured that his phone number was abination of their birthdays.
When Nadia saw the name saved on Gillian''s phone, she coughed embarrassedly and let Evelyn see
the contact name—Dear Sheffield.
Gillian blushed. She tried to get her phone back, but Nadia reminded her coldly, "Miss Chi, please
behave yourself."
She pressed the call button and Sheffield''s ringtone was heard. It was Debbie''s song.
Evelyn stole a quick nce at Carlos, who was ring at Gillian''s phone angrily. If looks could kill, her
phone would have exploded by now!
He had no idea that Sheffield had be a fan of his wife.
While they waited for Sheffield to pick up the call, Evelyn told the gloomy woman, "His phone number is
abination of my birthday and his. And his ringtone is my mother''s song. Do you understand what
this means, Miss Chi?"
Gillian was speechless.
