âWhy would you want to treat Cheryl Coney to a meal? That wonât be necessary!â Alex Rockefeller
quickly rejected Dorothy Assex.
This was the biggest joke he had ever heard. If these women were to meet, they might start fighting
with each other. And Alex wouldnât be right no matter who he sided with.
Dorothy looked at Alex seriously. âIt is very much necessary. She has helped our company
tremendously. If I donât express my gratitude, she might talk behind my back again. Call her. Do it right
now, â Dorothy said.
âDorothy, she really didnât help. We donât have to do this,â Alex said and shook his head. In fact, he
even wanted to use his ultimate skill of holding Dorothy and kissing her.
However, Dorothy didnât let him have his way. âAre you going to call her or not? If you donât even have
the courage to call her, then thereâs definitely something going on between the two of you. Is that it?â
She asked.
âNo, absolutely not,â Alex said.
âIn that case, call her and put the call on loudspeaker,â Dorothy said.
âD*mn. Sheâs doing this again.â Alex thought.
Since he didnât have a choice, he finally caved in and called Cheryl Coney.
At the same time, Cheryl was sleeping in her room. Due to a few oddly difficult cases the hospital
encountered yesterday, many doctors had been attending meetings. Due to such special
circumstances, Cheryl stayed up nearly the entire night and was only able to fall asleep in the morning.
When Alex called her on the phone, she picked it up and mumbled, âAlex Rockefeller, what do you
want? I was kept up all night yesterday. Canât you just let me sleep in peace?â She sounded sleepy.
Suddenly, Alex felt a pain in his back.
When he turned around, he could see Dorothyâs eyes turn red with rage.
Clearly, she had misunderstood something.
However, anyone who heard Cherylâs voice would easily misunderstand her!
âCheryl, what are you saying? How were you up all night?â Alex quickly said.
âHow? It happened five times consecutively. Sigh, Iâm not talking to you anymore. I want to sleep. I
canât even stand up straight. Please have mercy on me and stop keeping me up. You can come to me
once Iâve recovered,â Cheryl said.
Beep, beep, beep. She hung up.
Cheryl meant to say that the emergency meetings were held five times consecutively last night.
However, since she was very sleepy, she didnât explain things clearly. Now, Alex was in deep troubleâ¦
Dorothyâs body was shaking violently, and tears were rolling down her cheeks.
She felt as if her world was turning dark.
âAlex Rockefeller, why? Why did you do this to me?â
âI thought I could see hope. I thought we had already gone through the worst. But I never thought Iâd
encounter such hopelessness in the end.:
âIâm such a fool! When you told me that you found a solution yesterday, I should have known that you
would find her. Only she is capable of doing such a thing. I didnât know this was the price I had to pay.
Five times! How insulting. My husband actually had to sacrifice his body for my company⦠So what if I
got what I wanted for the company?â
When Alex saw Dorothy like this, his heart was in pain. But this⦠This couldnât have been further from
the truth!
âDorothy, you have to believe me. I really didnât do that with Dr. Cheryl⦠I was home all night
yesterday. I donât know why she said that, perhaps⦠Perhaps, she just wants to make you upset.
Please donât fall for it.â Alex quickly hugged Dorothy.
âGet away from me. Donâ t touch me, you dirty man,â Dorothy said.
Alex immediately froze.
He immediately called Cheryl on the phone again, and he kept the call on loudspeaker as he did
before.
âAlex Rockefeller, are you intentionally keeping me awake? Just you wait. Iâm going to make sure you
canât sleep tonight either,â Cheryl said right after picking up the call.
Dorothyâs facial expression turned even darker.
Alex immediately became enraged. It was getting even more complicated. âDr. Cheryl, please joke
within reason. My wife is listening to this conversation. Donâ t say things that are untrue. I didnât even
see you last night. More importantly, I never slept with you. Why did you say I did that to you five
times? Do you think Iâm superman?â Alex said.
