GoodReadEverett had deleted her, and somehow, Dorothy felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Thank goodness... thank goodness the call didn't go through.
Dorothy was convinced she had lost her mind; the more she thought about it, the more certain she became.
From the moment she wanted to hear his voice, she knew she wasn't herself; she was bewitched! If the call had connected, the fallout would have been unimaginable. All the harsh words she'd previously hurled at Everett would have been overturned, and even worse... he might have caught on to her scheme.
She quickly set her phone aside as if it were a hot potato.

Everett was driving back to his residence after wrapping up a meeting. He was no longer shacking up with Abigail and Langston at a hotel but had instead purchased a property in the area.
As he was about to reach home, his phone rang with a call from Jeffrey.
"What is it?" Everett answered through his hands-free headset.
"Man, why do you always greet me with that line?" Jeffrey sounded a bit miffed, "As if | can't call you unless there's something pressing!" "Because you rarely call about something serious, and | rarely have time to chat about trivia.” Jeffrey couldn't help but laugh at his friend's blunt manner.
"Alright, alright. But | do have something this time." “Spill it.” "You asked me to help you sell Bay Residence, right? | got contacted by a couple who had just returned to Eldorria City from abroad. They really like the tranquil vibe of Bay Residence." Everett's grip on the steering wheel tightened ever so slightly before he replied, "Handle it as you see fit." "I hope you're serious about selling it, man. Don't make me take a deposit and then you get cold feet. You know what Bay Residence means to you." "I won't change my mind." Everett's voice was firm, "I won't be returning to Eldorria City for the next few years so that property is of no use to me now." "Whoa, you're planning to stay in Liberty City for years?!" "If all goes as planned.” His work was more accessible here, and many high-end tech conferences chose this city as their venue. Staying in Liberty City saved Everett the trouble of constant travel.
"Dude, you're not seriously moving halfway across the world just to avoid her, are you?" Jeffrey was taken aback by his friend's decisiveness.
"I'm not avoiding anyone." Everett's response was calm.
But Jeffrey wasn't buying it, not a single word.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Lopez has spoken! I'll go and sign the contract with the buyers of Bay Residence tomorrow. You're leaving behind the furniture and appliances as well, correct?" "Yeah, anything | wanted has already been taken care of." "Alright then! So, it looks like you won't be coming back even when Karen has our baby?" Visit english.net to read full content.

It took Jeffrey a moment to catch on to his friend's plan.
"OK, that's settled then!" After ending the call, Everett noticed a missed call from the person keeping an eye on Heather.
He dialed back.
"Mr. Lopez, we have a date for the suspect's extradition. As for the child she's carrying..." Visit english.net to read full content.
