Chapter 377 Take Your Time
Of course, the premise was that the Peterson family wouldn't go bankrupt. If they did, Evelyn would definitely suffer a loss.
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind-hearted," she smiled, enjoying her meal and feeling good.
Dermot didn't expose Evelyn. To anyone, it seemed like Evelyn was doing a good deed because who could guarantee that the Peterson family wouldn't go bankrupt once they received the money?
No one would be willing to gamble with such a large sum of money.
After the meal, Dermot seemed to be busy again, and Evelyn didn't want to disturb him any further. "I'll leave now. Are you...going to continue working?"
"Yeah, let Todd take you back," Dermot said.
Evelyn shook her head. "No need, let him stay here and help you. I can find my way back."
Seeing how busy Dermot was, Todd, the assistant, must also be under a lot of pressure. Evelyn didn't feel right asking him to accompany her.
While Dermot was hesitating, his phone rang. Evelyn couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the line said, but Dermot hung up quickly.
"Now he has to take you," Dermot said.
Evelyn was confused, but Dermot explained, "I have some files at home that need to be brought over. Let Todd take you there, you can help me find the files and give them to him."
"But..." Evelyn wanted to say that she didn't have the keys, but the next second, the keys were already in her hand. "Here, keep them. You don't have to return them to me. From now on, my house is your house, feel free to come in."
Evelyn was stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "So, does that mean I have to give you a key to my house too?"
Dermot raised an eyebrow, smiling mysteriously. "That's up to you."
The implication was clear: if she didn't give it, he wouldn't ask for it, but if she did give it, he wouldn't refuse it.
Suddenly, Evelyn felt that the keys in her hand were a bit hot. "I think I'll give them back to you."
Dermot's face immediately turned dark, showing his displeasure. "Why?"
"I...I haven't decided yet." She hadn't made up her mind whether she should give Dermot the keys to her house. She felt that if she did, their relationship would take another step forward.
Dermot sighed helplessly and reached out to touch her head. "It's okay, take your time. No rush."
"Well
"The key..."
"I'll give it to you. It's my way of showing my attitude, understand?" He was willing to lay everything bare in front of Evelyn, even if she wasn't ready yet.
Evelyn held the key and nodded. "Hmm, I understand."
"Go on, the documents are in the study cabinet," Dermot instructed.
The car pulled up in front of the apartment building, and Todd got out, about to walk around to the passenger side to drive Evelyn. But she was the first one to open the door and get out.
"Mr. Angelo, let me get them for you so you don't have to make an extra trip," Evelyn said.
But Todd quickly shook his head. "No need, no need. I'll go up with you and wait at the door."
He didn't dare to trouble Evelyn with an extra trip. If the CEO found out, he would surely scold him.
Seeing his insistence, Evelyn couldn't say anything else.
The two of them walked into the residential compound together and quickly arrived at Dermot's door.
Evelyn took the key out of her bag, opened the door, and Todd just stood by the doorway, not daring to step in.
