As soon as Sheffield plugged his phone in the car and it turned on, calls after calls came in. Most of the calls were from unknown numbers, so he didn't bother to call them back.
Whistling a tune as he started the car, he left the Tang family's house in a good mood.
While he was stopped by a red light on the road, his phone rang again. He happened to notice the caller ID and found out that it was Evelyn. In an instant, he put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the phone. "Hello, Miss Huo."
"You're the one who did it," Evelyn stated calmly; the certainty in her voice was so apparent.
'Wow! My woman is so smart!' he thought with a smile. But he didn't want to give in that easily so he played dumb. "What did I do?"
"About the news. You did that on purpose." Obviously, the kiss that morning was intentional.
Sheffield curled his lips into a smile and said, "Yes. But you know what? I just earned five million for selling that piece of news. I'll come to you after work. We can share the earnings equally." On one hand, now that their relationship was out in the public, he could openly announce to the world that Evelyn was his girlfriend. On the other hand, he could get a large sum of money from selling bits of information to the media. What a perfect plan! He got the best of both worlds.
Rubbing her aching temples, she complained, "You betrayed me just for five million?"
"How could you say that I betrayed you? From now on, people will always put our names together. You are my woman and I'm your man. We're happy together. And above it all, we can get some money out of this relationship. It's a win-win situation, don't you think?"
Evelyn could only sigh while she listened to him. She was honestly getting pissed off by this cunning man.
"Are you mad at me? Evelyn, may I just remind you that you lied to me? It was also you who abandoned me two years ago. But now, all I did was tell the whole world that we're together. What are you so afraid of? Or do you still want to hide our relationship?" The wide smile on his face faded away as his tone gradually became dejected and upset.
"No, it's not like that..." Truth of the matter was, it didn't matter to Evelyn. She just felt a little caught off guard. Their relationship was still not stable yet and they didn't even have a chance to discuss it. But suddenly, their relationship was revealed to the public in a way that she didn't expect or would have liked.
"Because of this, it would now be impossible for Mr. Huo to find another man to replace me. I told the reporter to take pictures using high definition lenses so my face is shown clearly. From any angle, anyone would be able to tell that it was me."
Evelyn rubbed her aching temples again. She could imagine the smug expression on Sheffield's face on the other end of
ender smile with eyes full of affection for her. It made everyone very envious.
"Mr. Tang is so romantic!"
"As far as I know, the eldest daughter has inherited her father's personality. She is very domineering and bossy. So Mr. Tang, do you feel any pressure to be with such a powerful female CEO?"
Sheffield was just about to go but the question stopped him in his tracks. With a calm expression on his face and a smirk, he responded, "Of course not, why would I? She is indeed very strong and domineering in front of others. But when it's just the two of us, she's sweet and loving. I couldn't ask for anything more."
"Wow, I'm so jealous of you! When you're with Miss Huo, do you just listen to her or does she listen to you?"
With one of his eyebrows raised, he answered, "That depends on where we are."
As adults, almost all of the reporters immediately understood what Sheffield meant. They didn't expect to hear an answer with a sexual overtone from him.
Gasping for air, a female reporter squeezed in front of the group and asked, "Some reporters have previously photographed you with a lot of young models in different public places. Why didn't you keep a distance from other women if you really love her? Mr. Tang, are you really serious about Miss Huo?"
"To be honest, I've loved her for a long time. To me, she is the one true love of my life! The whole thing is too complicated to explain. Only me and Evelyn could understand it. But one thing that I can tell you guys is that I've been loyal to Evelyn and I've never loved another woman except for her. Now that I don't have to throw away suspicion from our relationship, I will not be seen with another woman except her. You can all be the direct overseer for this."
One of the reporters asked, "Mr. Tang, is the so-called future father-in-law you mentioned in your previous interview Carlos Huo?"
