But Jeffrey already had his answer. 1 knew it! You two are just too much! Everett, listen to me just giveup on Dorothy already”
Everett was silent for nearly a minute. Just as Jeffrey thought he was seriously considering his advice,he suddenly spoke. “Give me Lane’s information.”
“Everett, you’re beyond help”
Everett had accepted that fact a long time ago. He truly was beyond help.
All that talk about giving up on Dorothy never thinking about her again, and starting a new life was justself–deception
The truth was that as soon as she snapped her fingers, he would immediately rush to his death, like amoth to a flame, without a second thought.
When Dorothy called Lane, she was on her way back to her hotel
soon as he picked up his voice nearly shattered her eardrums.
“Where are you?! Are you okay?! Who are you wither
She sighed. “One question at a time. Don’t be so nervous. I’m fine, I just had a little too much to drinklast night. A friend of mine happened to be around, so they took me to a hotel room to get some rest.”
“Friend? Manor woman?
Lane sounded like he was questioning his girlfriend
Dorothy massaged her temples. “A guy but don’t worry, nothing happened. I was completely blackedout last night. I cant remember if I said goodbye to the bosses at Verity Holdings Limited, either. Theywon’t be mad, right? I should probably go to Verity Holdings Limited later,”
Her mind was still filled with work.
Lane scoffed. “No need. Since they lost you punched their CEO
“What?” Dorothy snapped to attention What are you doing? How are we supposed to cooperate now?Lane, how could you be so impulsive?”
For the sake of this partnership, she reluctantly drank drink after drink. She was so drunk that last nightwas now just a blur to her
Now she had a splitting headache, because Lane had just ruined everything.
“We’ll talk about the partnership later. They got you drunk, so I won’t let them off so easily
“Wait. You’re in Havenbrook City?”
“Of course! You disappeared. You think I could just sit around? I rushed over immediately”
Dorothy felt her headache intensity
“OK. Let’s talk about it when I get to the hotel,”
After hanging up. Dorothy was left to figure out how to salvage this situation. The partnership wasprofitable, and it seemed like Verity Holdings Limited had genuine intentions. As long as there were noaccidents, they should be able to sign a contract
But now, all because she got drunk, an accident had occurred.
When she arrived at the hotel, she hurried upstairs to replace Lane, Emmett, and Natalia waiting outsideher room.
The latter two looked apologetic. Tim sorry, Ms. Sanchez I shouldn’t have left
Dorothy quickly waved them off. “Don’t apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong. Emmett. I told you totake Natalia home, so why would I blame you?”
Tears welled up in Natalia’s eyes. “But if I could hold my liquor better, you wouldn’t have had to…
Tve been working for so many years, and I still can’t hold my liquor. Isn’t that perfectly normal?” Aftersaying this, Dorothy glanced at Lane and sighed “Emmett, Natalia, why don’t you go back to yourrooms for now I need to talk to Lane,”
“Alight.”
