Take My Breath Away

Gwyn ambled over to Evelyn and wrapped her arms around her mother's neck. The girl was initially silent while Evelyn was carrying her, but she eventually said, "Mommy..."

Evelyn was moved by what she said. She kissed her sweet daughter on the cheek and said, "Hi, sweetie."

Debbie walked over, took Gwyn's hand and told Evelyn, "Gwyn really did a good job today. She said 'Papa' and 'Nana.' It's about what she can manage at this age."

Evelyn smiled and asked Gwyn in a soft voice, "Great! Did you want anything special? You deserve it."

Gwyn held her toy and didn't respond.

Evelyn was used to this. She told Debbie and Carlos, "Dad, Mom, get some rest. I'll take care of Gwyn tonight."

Debbie replied, "Okay, she's had a bath tonight. Let us know if you need help."

"All right."

After Evelyn took Gwyn to her bedroom, Carlos summoned a maid to clean the nursery.

Then Debbie asked him quietly, "You wanted to say something?"

Carlos looked at her, hesitated for a while, and then answered, "I'm pretty sure Gwyn isn't hanging out with Terilynn and Joshua."

"Oh?" In fact, Debbie had been suspicious about this too. Now she knew Carlos had the same idea. "So who's watching her?"

The old man snorted, "I think your dear daughter is up to no good." He suspected Terilynn was dropping Gwyn off at Sheffield's office at Theo Group.

"Carlos Huo, what do you mean by that? My dear daughter? Isn't Terilynn your daughter too? And what do you mean by 'up to no good'?" Debbie demanded.

Carlos ignored her. When he and Debbie passed by Terilynn's room, he stopped and knocked on the door. It took a bit, but he heard a voice from inside. "Coming."

Terilynn opened the door, only to find her parents standing there. She felt nervous, as her father stood there, glowering. The lines in his face were deeper, and it was obvious he was unhappy. She had to fight the urge to close the door in his face. But Carlos had already taken that into account. His foot was blocking the door from closing.

When she realized that

aybe try doing some market research. It might help you make more money."

Sheffield agreed with her. "That's a good idea."

"Well, let me ask you a question, then. Theo Group owns tons of hotels. All the hotel sheets are white, right?"

"Yeah, so?" There were literally thousands of hotels owned by Theo Group.

"Why white?"

Leaning against the back of the chair, he answered lazily, "First, white looks clean and tidy; second, easy to clean; third, white doesn't fade; fourth, white is easy to go with other colors; fifth, white makes the room look more spacious; sixth, white looks classy."

His answer came as a surprise to Evelyn. "You've been the CEO for only a few days, and you already know this stuff. Pretty good!"

He grinned. 'I like showing off in front of her!' "I knew that before I took over the company."

Evelyn admitted, "Okay, you win." She had only learnt that after becoming the regional CEO.

"Now, it's my turn." At this point, Sheffield was energetic, nothing like a bored CEO at work.

"Go ahead!"

"It's a very simple question. You've been to the farmers' market, right?"

"Er... only once or twice." Evelyn felt a little embarrassed. She didn't cook and didn't need to buy any vegetables either. She'd gone there with Savannah a couple times. The two girls wanted to cook something together, so they decided to go.
