"Really? Yay!" Natalia threw her hands in the air in a victory sign, then tucked into her food with renewed vigor.
Dorothy glanced at Emmett, who seemed a bit less guarded than before, yet his cautious demeanor was evident.
In the corporate world, people like Emmett were more likely to make great strides than the carefree Natalia.
But there was nothing wrong with being like Natalia. Living life easy and free of worries was noble in itself.
After they finished their meal, Dorothy showed them around the neighborhood before heading back to the hotel.

With no other choice, she picked up her laptop and headed to the small conference room in the hotel that she had previously booked.
It was more convenient for the trio to work there rather than hold meetings in any one of their rooms.
As she passed the hotel lobby, she was about to call Natalia when a familiar figure caught her eye.
But as soon as she blinked, the figure disappeared.
She wasn't even sure if it was real or not.
Because the figure looked so much like Everett.
But he shouldn't be in Havenbrook City. Such coincidences didn’t happen in the real world.
"Ms. Sanchez." Emmett was the first to arrive. He headed straight towards Dorothy as soon as he spotted her.
Dorothy gave him a small nod. "Where's Natalia? Did you get in touch with her?" "She overdid it with the spicy food, and now her stomach’s upset. | told her to come down as soon as possible.” "Is it serious? Should we take her to the hospital?" "We'll ask her when she gets here. I'm not sure." Emmett said, trying hard to keep his eyes from straying towards Dorothy's face.
She was truly beautiful.
The kind of beauty that would attract anyone, regardless of their gender.
Dorothy wasn't overtly glamorous, but there was a pure, wholesome quality about her that was undeniably attractive.
Even though she was significantly older and his boss, he couldn't help but be drawn to her.

Dorothy hurried over to her. "Are you okay?" "Yeah... | think | overdid it with the spicy food. | might have indigestion." "We need to get you to the hospital." Dorothy turned to Emmett. "Let's call off work for today. You go rest while | take her to the hospital.” Emmett paused for a moment, then swept Natalia up in his arms.
"It won't be convenient for you two. I'll come with you." "Alright." Dorothy nodded. She appreciated his concern.
After they left, a figure emerged from behind a pillar in the hotel lobby, looking in the direction that they had left.
Everett pursed his lips. He felt a sudden urge to follow them, but he held himself back.
He needed to remember his place. He couldn't overstep.
Showing up at her hotel just because he heard Dorothy's distressed voice was already crossing the line. He couldn't follow her anymore.
Everett took out his room key, intending to return to his room.
Suddenly! He drew a sharp breath, as if he were making an important decision. Then, with a swift stride, he followed in the direction that Dorothy and the others had gone.
