Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1002 - Just A Coincidence



"Why did you bring Sheffield along, anyway? Now that he's here, I feel like we're invisible to Evelyn," Maddock complained to Duran.

It would be a lie if Maddock said he didn't have the hots for Evelyn!

Just like Mr. Li said, no man could resist a woman like Evelyn.

Sighing in defeat, Duran said, "I was going to try and make friends with him. Who would have imagined he knew Evelyn, and those two were close enough to go to the bathroom together?"

"Of course they know each other. They're both business bigwigs, and they'd at least see each other at business events. Theo Group hosted an anniversary event a few days ago, and

Peterson Tang introduced Sheffield and Evelyn to each other."

"Oh, I see."

After leaving the private booth, Evelyn handed her purse to Nadia and walked to the bathroom with Sheffield.

When they turned a corner, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall.

Sheffield's face was so close to hers, she could feel his breath on her own.

Seeing this, Felix immediately rushed over. Sheffield cast a cold glance at him. With one arm propped against the wall, he trapped Evelyn in his arms, preventing Felix from getting to her.

Sheffield gave the bodyguard a look, indicating he should go away. There was danger in his gaze.

Tayson had told Felix about this guy, the special man in Evelyn's heart, and his name was Sheffield Tang. Tayson also reminded him not to get involved unless Evelyn specifically asked him to.

Remembering this, Felix stepped back and kept his distance from the two.

Evelyn looked at Sheffield and didn't say a word.

But he wasn't about to return the favor. He put his right hand on her waist and squeezed. "Since when did the CEO of ZL Group, Evelyn Huo, bow to others' wishes?" There was more than a hint of anger. He was practically growling every word.

Evelyn was confused. "What are you talking about? Let me go!"

"Stop pretending! Everyone who knows Duran knows that he likes women in a cheongsam! Do you think just because I'm a newbie I wouldn't know that?" All of a sudden, he held her tighter, the tip of his nose against hers. Their breathing was entwined.

The odor of the wine they drank wafted around their nostrils.

A sharp pain shot through her waist. Evelyn closed her eyes and answered, "It's just a coincidence." She really didn't know what he was talking about.

"What if I rip that cheongsam off of you? How will you go back to the dinner?" He grabbed the corner of her cheongsam tightly. It seemed he was going to tear it at any moment.

Evelyn immediately grabbed hold of his wrist and turned her head away. "If you don't want me to wear a cheongsam, I won't wear it anymore," she said, trying to get him to stop.

He looked at her fair neck. If he left a few love bites on it, they would be obvious. Thinking of this, he kissed her on the neck.

His hot kisses made her shiver. She pushed him away and murmured, "No..." They were in public. It was embarrassing And it was too tempting.

"No?" Evelyn could feel his breathing at her ear. "I thought you wanted to start over with me? How can we get back together if you keep telling me no?"

Evelyn bit her lower lip and declared, "Then, maybe we don't need to be together." She'd heard men did their thinking with their nether regions. Now she believed it.

Sheffield grabbed her chin and turned her head back, forcing her to look at him. "Don't wear a cheongsam again! It makes you look like a whore!"

'A whore?' Evelyn was totally confused. All she did was wear something she liked. Yes, it was a cheongsam, but what was wrong with that?

"You are trying to get them all hot and bothered with a cheongsam, and then they'll be more likely to say yes. I see what you're up to. Don't do it again. Or I'll tell them exactly what you're doing."

Evelyn felt it was impossible to communicate with this man. "You're unbelievable. Let me go."

With the click of his tongue, Sheffield gradually moved his hand upwards. Before she realized it, he tightened his grip. Sssshhhrip! Her cheongsam was ripped.

The next moment, he quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it around her shoulders.

A gloating smile flashed across his face. He kissed her on the forehead as if nothing had happened, and said, "Go home and change."

Evelyn was rendered speechless. She leaned against the wall, gnashing her teeth.

He waved at her and whistled as he walked back to the private booth. He was in a good mood.

Evelyn put her hand behind her back and felt the torn part of her cheongsam. The hole was big enough to keep her from leaving the place like that. It exposed too much of her undergarments.

Evelyn couldn't help but wonder, 'Why does he hate my clothes so much?' Sheffield had ruined two of her dresses, a cheongsam, not to mention the casual clothes he had torn when he was so horny he couldn't stop.

She breathed heavily and called Felix over. "Go back to the booth and tell them this." Evelyn whispered something in his ear.

"Yes, Miss Huo."

A few minutes later, Felix walked into the private booth.

Sheffield was about to leave the room. Felix said to them, "I'm sorry, everyone. Something came up, and Miss Huo said she had to leave. Mr. Tang will take care of tonight's bill. Don't worry about it. Order what you want. Thanks for everything, Mr. Tang. Bye!"

'Sheffield's buying?' Duran didn't expect things to go this way. He had intended to order such expensive items that Evelyn would have a hard time paying, but Sheffield ended up being the victim of his scheme. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, Mr. Tang. I never knew you were so generous."

Sheffield turned to Felix in shock. He didn't remember saying that he would take care of the bill. He never took a bite, and he was the one paying? 'So that's how you want to play it?'

But Felix ignored his shocked look and left the private room after delivering his message.

When Tobias went to the cashier to settle the bill, Sheffield waited off to the side wearing only a white shirt, his tie in hand. After a while, Tobias walked up to him with the bill in his hand.

"Mr. Tang, the bill is beyond our company's financial reimbursement limit..."

"How much is it?" asked Sheffield casually.

Tobias looked at it. "499, 236," he recited.

Sheffield held out his hand. "Let me see that."

Tobias gave him the bill and thought, 'Evelyn has definitely gotten even with Mr. Tang this time.' So Duran and Maddock had screwed him over.

The bill clearly showed the details. The liquor was limited edition by a liquor group, produced a few years ago. It cost more than $20, 000 a bottle. They ordered seven of them.

The red tea was $1, 888 a pot. The champagne was $5, 600 a bottle, and they bought three of those.

The rest of the damage was for the meal.

Some of the dishes were charged by the person. The cheapest dish, Alaska King Crab, was $3, 800 per person, the fish maw with abalone sauce $5, 800 per person, black caviar and red caviar $8, 000 per person. There were eight people at the table. They had ordered more than 4 kg of braised whelk meat. It cost over $4, 000 per kilogram.

Yet those dishes weren't even the most expensive ones. The most expensive one was the abalones sent from Japan by air that morning. A two-abalone share was priced at $9, 800. They had ordered eight. The crocodile paw with white truffles cost $99, 000.

Coupled with the packs of cigarettes, snacks, and service fees, the total came to almost $500, 000.
