GoodReadDorothy had already thought of him earlier, but since he'd vanished off the radar for so long, she couldn't be sure.
"That's right! How could you et me? I haven't otten you, not even for a second," Lane chuckled, his voice laced with a teasing tone. "Are you with Everett now?" "...What does that have to do with you?" "Ugh! Listen to that tone, why so hostile towards me? Dorothy, did you not enjoy your tat East Star Enterprises?" Dorothy glanced at the bedroom door subconsciously.
She wanted to tell Everett about Lane reaching out to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut soon, Dorothy dismissed the idea.
He already had enough on his plate. Lane was just a minor character, unlikely to cause any real impact. There was no need to burden Everett with this.
Hadn't Everett once embarrassingly kicked Lane out of the country? Did Lane now possess the power to stand against him? "Just spit it out if you have something to say. I don't think there's anything for us to casually chat about! Lane, I haven't otten that you leaked my information to Heather." If not for him, perhaps Everett wouldn't have been so deeply hurt! Even now, Dorothy shuddered at the thought.
"Ah, can we not bring up Heather? If that woman hadn't already been sentenced, I'd have taken care of her myself! How dare she play me, betray me!" Lane thought of Heather, his disdain palpable.
So when Quincy proposed a collaboration, he didn't even consider it.
Listening to Lane, Dorothy suddenly remembered something Everett had mentioned...
Could it be that Lane was somehow connected to Quincy? Especially since Quincy had just be unreachable, and now Lane was calling her! It was too unusual.
"Did you block Quincy from contacting Everett?" As soon as she mentioned the name, Lane immediately denied it.

Dorothy scoffed, "If you didn't know Quincy, your first reaction to my statement should have been to ask who Quincy is, not to deny it immediately!" || "Lane, last tyou just lost yourpany, and Everett didn't pursue it further! Stop causing trouble." The man on the other end was silent for nearly a minute before he spoke.
"He didn't pursue it further, and I should be grateful? Do you have any idea how much Everett ruined me? My savings of many years, gone in an instant, all thanks to Everett!" en.kikistories UMS "That's the consequence of your own actions, isn't it? Did I make you do it?" "Dorothy, what's wrong with wanting you?" Lane's voice rose, "When you worked at East Star Enterprises, you know very well how much I looked Out for you!" en.kikistories Dorothy was clear about these so-called "favors".
"I did my job, and I took what I deserved. Anything beyond that, I didn't touch a thing! Lane, trying to guilt-tripwith this is pointless." She had always been stubborn, wary of entangling with others.
For Dorothy, everything needed to be clear-cut! Whether with friends or more.
"Dorothy, you're still the same! No wonder I haven't been able to et you all this time! Since you walked into my life, other women have just seemed so bland!" Lane chuckled softly, "So... I've decided, I still want to have you." en.kikistories
