Everett instinctively looked in a certain direction, like he had some sort of sixth sense, immediately catching Dorothy's gaze.
[I'll wait for you.] After sending the message, he simply pulled up his work software and started looking through documents.
Ever since Dorothy came into his life, Everett didn't want to return to Bay Residence alone anymore! He felt it needed a lady of the house to truly make it a home.
When he started working, he was prepared to pull an all-nighter, planning to catch a catnap at the office in the morning! But most importantly, he was worried about any emergencies on Dorothy's end and not being able to be there in time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs time ticked away, nearing the early hours of the morning, Everett surprisingly saw Dorothy hastily exiting the hospital! She saw Everett's car and quickly went over to knock on the window. "Surprised? Bet you didn't expect me to come out!" Everett chuckled, opened the door, and stepped out, "Hmm, is your mom okay?" "Nothing was seriously wrong to begin with. She just had a heart attack from the shock, but she's asleep now! The doctors and nurses are looking after her, so | came out." Dorothy knew from Everett's "I'l wait for you" message that if she didn't go back to Bay Residence with him today, he was planning to wait at the hospital the whole time.
So, after handling her mother’s situation, she went down immediately! Everett's workload was already massive,and his rest time was scarce, and now even more so. She wanted Everett to go home and get some proper rest.
Everett asked, "So, can you leave the hospital now?" "Yes, let's head home." With that, Dorothy got into the passenger seat.
Everett looked at her profile and suddenly said, "How's Bella's illness now? Should we change hospitals?" Dorothy was startled, "She's already had her surgery. Why would we change hospitals? She just needs rehabilitation now, and she can be discharged once she's fully self-reliant.” "I was thinking of providing Bella a better place for recovery." "No need. She's used to it here." Dorothy didn’t think much more about it. Besides, she was tired from all the running around.
On the way back, she only spoke a few words to Everett before falling asleep.
When they arrived at Bay Residence, Dorothy was still asleep. It was Everett who carried her back to the bedroom.
Seeing her curled up on the bed, he felt a real sense of possession! That was why Everett seemed so keen on bedroom activities! It seemed that only when he held her in his arms, entered her body, and saw her cheeks flushed for him, could he prove that it wasn’t a dream but reality.
The girl he had yearned for since his youth truly belonged to him at that time.
The following day in the morning, Dorothy was woken by a call from Karen.
"Heather resigned voluntarily, and she even posted a long Twitter thread admitting that she accidentally leaked the documents!" Upon hearing that, she immediately opened Twitter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Dorothy had predicted, Heather's admission didn't put an end to the matter.
Instead, it reignited the debate! Most of the comments were comforting Heather, the perpetrator, suggesting she might have been threatened.
Some even said Heather was too kind-hearted, and she admitted to it because she didn't want to ruin the assistant's future! All because she didn't mention how she set up the trap in her post! Even the motive was vaguely described, giving off a sense of being deliberately fabricated.
That was Heather's skill. She knew how to step back to advance.
At the moment when they were at loggerheads, she played that move.
Even if the evidence could eventually prove that Heather was framing Dorothy, some people would have still doubted that the evidence was fabricated just to clear Dorothy's name.
