Take My Breath Away

Sheffield immediately picked up Gillian's hint when she said that the CEO would be attending the dinner. It didn't matter whether she had meant Carlos or Evelyn because he was intrigued nonetheless.

Gillian, however, was only interested in using him to further her own agenda.

"Sounds great! Do you know if Evelyn will be there too?" he asked bluntly, instead of turning her down.

"I suppose so. By the way, Sheffield, have you two broken up already?"

"No. Well, it's a little complicated. We had a fight some time ago and she's been mad at me ever since. We are just giving each other some space."

Gillian was a little taken aback, blushing with embarrassment when she recalled complaining to Sheffield about Evelyn just two days ago. She had no idea that they were still together.

"So...will you come?"

"Of course, I will. I don't want to miss the look on her face when she sees me there." Sheffield blatantly revealed his own motive without any inhibition.

Gillian was at a complete loss for words. As it turned out, Sheffield was the one using her to further his personal goals, not the other way around.

Nevertheless, since beggars couldn't also be choosers, Gillian was just happy to have Sheffield by her side. All she wanted to do was make Evelyn burn with envy.

At the restaurant of the hanging garden, on the top floor of Silverstone Building

As the entire restaurant was reserved for ZL Group's private event, the place was swarming with Carlos' employees.

Sheffield's arrival attracted a lot of attention. Under the stifled admiration and gasps of the female employees, he walked straight to Gillian, which made her feel proud and elated.

When someone asked Gillian whether she was dating Sheffield, she didn't deny it straightaway. "Yeah, but in the past. We are just friends now."

All the while, Sheffield sat next to her, fiddling with his cell phone with a smile on his face. He hardly uttered a word nor was he interested in what Gillian was saying.

After all, he wasn't here for Gillian; he was here for Evelyn.

"Wow! Mr. Tang, you're a real gentleman. You're still friends with your ex-girlfriend after the breakup!"

"Mr. Tang, you look much more handsome in person than you do on screen!"

Sheffield was showered with all kinds of praises.

Once it was confirmed that they were not dating, many women made up excuses to rub elbows with Sheffield or flatter him during the meal.

Sheffield, of course, knew how to play them like a fiddle. After all, he was well-versed in the art of dealing wit

l be a Lamborghini car!"

After her decisive announcement, the entire place erupted in an uproar once again.

"Wow! My goodness! Is that true? A Lamborghini!"

"Unbelievable! Miss Huo is so generous!"

"Did I hear that correctly? That's a car worth millions of dollars!"

Those of who were not qualified to participate in the selection seethed with jealousy. One of them cut in, "Don't be so happy. So what if you get a Lamborghini? Can you afford the maintenance fee for such a luxurious car?"

Evelyn smiled at the young disbelieving employee and responded, "Don't worry, I'll also throw in a three-year-maintenance fee as an additional gift. Bear in mind that the grand prize is only awarded to the most outstanding employee. If the winner can't afford to pay for the maintenance of the car after three years, then I don't think that person deserved to win the prize in the first place."

Evelyn's words made a lot of sense to everyone. Although the programmer who would get the grand prize couldn't afford the maintenance fees now, three years of time was enough for any outstanding employee to make a fortune.

Evelyn managed to win the hearts of all the staff members of the programming department with her grace and display of generosity.

The employees marveled at her ability to empower those who worked for the company, encouraging them to give their absolute best and nothing less.

Unlike the other leaders, Evelyn didn't believe in subjecting her employees to long hours of lecture. Perhaps she didn't think herself worthy enough to do so. After all, she didn't have to start from the bottom. She got the job as the regional CEO only because she was the daughter of Carlos Huo.
