GoodReadEverett didn't respond.
But Jeffrey already had his answer. "I knew it! You two are just too much! Everett, listen to me; just give up 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll that talk about giving up on Dorothy, never thinking about her again, and starting a new life was just self-deception.
The truth was that as soon as she snapped her fingers, he would immediately rush to his death, like a moth to a flame, without a second thought.
When Dorothy called Lane, she was on her way back to her hotel.
As soon as he picked up, his voice nearly shattered her eardrums.
"Where are you?! Are you okay?! Who are you with?!" She sighed. "One question at a time. Don't be so nervous. I'm fine; | just had a little too much to drink last night. A friend of mine happened to be around, so they took me to a hotel room to get some rest.” "Friend? Man or woman?" Lane sounded like he was questioning his girlfriend.
Dorothy massaged her temples. "A guy, but don't worry, nothing happened. | was completely blacked out last night. | can't remember if | said goodbye to the bosses at Verity Holdings Limited, either. They won't be mad, right? | should probably go to Verity Holdings Limited later." Her mind was still filled with work.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLane 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 night was 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 | won't let them off so easily!" "Wait. You're in Havenbrook City?" "Of course! You disappeared. You think | could just sit around? | rushed over immediately.” Dorothy felt her headache intensify.
"OK. Let's talk about it when | get to the hotel.” After hanging up, Dorothy was left to figure out how to salvage this situation. The partnership was profitable, and it seemed like Verity Holdings Limited had genuine intentions. As long as there were no accidents, 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 find Lane, Emmett, and Natalia waiting outside her room.
The latter two looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Ms. Sanchez. | shouldn't have left." Dorothy quickly waved them off. "Don't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong, Emmett. | told you to take Natalia home, so why would | blame you?" Tears welled up in Natalia's eyes. "But if | could hold my liquor better, you wouldn't have had to..." "I've been working for so many years, and | still can't hold my liquor. Isn't that perfectly normal?" After saying this, Dorothy glanced at Lane and sighed. "Emmett, Natalia, why don't you go back to your rooms for now. | need to talk to Lane." "Alright."
