Take My Breath Away

Evelyn closed the door behind her and walked up to the man who sat very comfortably on the couch, with one leg resting on top of the other. "I've been worried about you lately," she said, standing across him.

Sheffield took another sip from his glass. "Oh! Thank you for your concern, Miss Huo." His words were dripping with sarcasm.

His haughtiness triggered Evelyn's anger. She snapped at him, gritting her teeth in anger, "Since you don't want to talk to me, then there's no point to this. We're done! I will no longer interfere with your life from now on!"

Evelyn turned around on her heel and started walking towards the door.

Just as she had taken a few steps, Sheffield sprang up to his feet and wrapped his arms around her waist. Grinning from ear to ear, he said, "Evelyn, I was just kidding."

"Kidding?" Evelyn turned around to look at him, who had changed his face faster than the speed of light.

"Yes!" Sheffield nodded and cocked his head to the side, giving the effect of rakishness. "How could it be possible that I don't want to talk to you?"

Evelyn's face settled back into her emotionless, cold expression, and she stepped forward, forcing Sheffield to take a step back. "What did you call Dollie? Baby? Huh?"

"No, no, no. You must have misheard me. Why would I call her 'baby'?" If he had known things would go this way, he wouldn't have treated Evelyn like that.

"Oh, so I must have misheard you?" Evelyn took another step forward, Sheffield responded aptly with another step backwards. "I can hear just fine. I heard you call her 'baby.' How dare you invite her to a threesome with me? Since you think that I would be into something like that, we should just break up now!"

Having run out of space to retreat to, Sheffield fell on the sofa, but he kept smiling at his queen. "You've misunderstood me. I was just joking!" He realized what a big mistake he had made by teasing Evelyn like that.

Evelyn squeezed his cheeks harder and harder.

Before long, the pitiful expression on his face changed to a bitter one. "Evelyn, sweetie... please..."

"I just wanted to have a word with you, but I can see that you're very busy. It must be a lot of fun being surrounded by all these women."

"No, not at all," he replied meekly, eyes lowered to the floor. As his face

them. Being the thoughtful man that he was, Joshua decided to avoid any sort of awkward situation and knocked on the door. "Hey! It's me!"

Joshua heard a noise, but then suddenly everything went quiet on the inside.

He knocked on the door again and said, "Sheffield, Evelyn, I'm coming in."

Meanwhile, just on the other side of the door, Sheffield leaned closer to Evelyn and whispered, "Tell him to go away."

Evelyn was on the verge of going crazy because of Sheffield. She bit her lip hard, but didn't say anything.

Sheffield, however, had plenty of ways to make her speak.

In less than two minutes, Joshua heard Evelyn's voice coming from inside the room. "Joshua...could...you give us a moment here?"

Something about the way Evelyn spoke sounded odd to him. With brows furrowed, he squinted his eyes and rested his ears on the door. "Evelyn, can you hear me?"

Joshua turned his head to look at Tayson and asked, "Who else is in there?"

After a moment's silence, Tayson answered, "Just the two of them.

Mr. Fan, you'd better go home now." "Why?" Joshua asked. Then the expression on his face changed drastically.

Joshua looked like he had received some sort of divine revelation as he looked at the door in utter disbelief. His eyebrows?shot up in bewilderment, and there was a twist in his mouth that nearly resembled an astonished droop. As he locked his eyes at the door, he suddenly heard a muffled thudding noise and the door started moving. Joshua stood there frozen, gazing in speechless astonishment.
