GoodReadEverett knew Dorothy would insist on meeting the driver. If he refused at this point, she would definitely become suspicious.
Honestly, this was the first time in his life that he lacked the courage to face the consequences.
He was truly at a loss for how to tell Dorothy about this. She was drunk and was under the influence of drugs, while he was not.

Everett pressed his temples hard as he thought about this.
The guilt in his heart was unbearable, causing his headache to throb incessantly. He wanted to talk to Dorothy and tell her everything, but he was afraid Dorothy would hate him.
He didn't have the courage to face Dorothy.
When Kevin brought the driver to the Havenbrook City Airport and saw Mr. Lopez's car parked at the entrance, he was really startled.
He was just a secretary, but his boss personally came to pick him up? After getting in the car, Kevin quickly spoke to Everett in the driver's seat. "Mr. Lopez, let me drive." Everett glanced at the driver in the back seat through the rear-view mirror and nodded. "Sure." He needed to hurry and tell this driver what to say. He couldn't mess up in front of Dorothy.
When the driver saw Everett and then looked at the luxury car he was sitting in, he was surprised but then thought it made sense.
"So, you're the big boss! No wonder you had me bump into that lady's car; you must be loaded!" Kevin, who had no idea what had happened in Everglow City, couldn't help but hold his breath to listen to this gossip.

The driver had already seen how wealthy he was several times, so naturally, he was very obedient now. "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it! But Mr. Lopez, | have a favor to ask, even though you've given me a lot already. My daughter is sick..." "How much do you need?" Everett didn't have time to listen to his request. It was probably just about money anyway.
"They said the surgery would cost a hundred thousand, and the subsequent treatment is uncertain, so I've been driving day and night to earn money." Everett glanced at Kevin, who was driving. "Give him half a million later." The driver hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no, no. | don’t need that much! I'm already embarrassed. It's like I'm asking for too much from you. A hundred thousand is enough. I'll do whatever you tell me to!" "This half a million is for renting your time. | don't know how long I'll need you." Everett didn't know how long this connection between him and Dorothy needed to last. He didn’t know how long it would be until he could give up, so he would always need this driver to be on standby.
"I'm yours for life, Mr. Lopez. Call me anytime!" Everett roughly told him about what had happened. Of course, he left out the part about their passionate encounter, so the driver fully believed that nothing had happened between them. This way, there was no possibility of him slipping up.
In the end, the driver tentatively asked, "Mr. Lopez, is it the same lady as last time?" "Yes." "You're really good to her. Are you pursuing her, but she's not interested?" Gossip was human nature, and the driver was no different.
Kevin, who was driving, didn't dare speak. He was just waiting for his boss to speak.
After a long while, Everett finally answered in a deep voice. "Yes, she doesn't love me."
