Now they were lying in bed, his large hand resting on her waist and his steady breathing filling the
room, but Dorothy still couldnât figure it out. Was this⦠a continuation of the contract?
She struggled with it almost all night, and it wasnât until she was dead tired that she finally drifted off.
When she woke up the next morning, the man beside her had gone.
Dressed in her pajamas, Dorothy walked out of the bedroom to see the breakfast that Everett had left
behind on the dining table. It locked like there was no tiff between them at all.
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang.
She ran over to check it. It was Karen.
âDidnât you see the message I sent you yesterday?â
âWell, I was really busy yesterday. I got lots of business stuff to handle,â
âIâm asking the guy you were talking about it canât be Mr. Lopez, right? Karen had been waiting for her
reply all along.
Dorothyâs heart skipped a beat, âYou sure have a wild imagination.
âSo itâs not Mr. Lopez then?â Karen seemed relieved. âYou scared the hell out of me! I thought you
didnât reply because I hit the nail on the head! Mr. Lopez is indeed a catch. But his relationship with Ms.
Heather is an open secret, and the Lopez family is all in on it. Marriage is just a matter of time. If youâre
really thinking about it, girl, I would advise you to think twice!â
Sure enough, even Karen thought Heather and Everett were the perfect couple
âDonât worry, I know my limits.â
âItâs not that youâre not good enough. Donât sell yourself short. Itâs just that Mr Lopez is taken. He
mentioned it during an interview once. He said he only has eyes for one person. He was so charming in
that video that Iâve kept it on my USB to this day. Il send it to you later.â
Dorothy forced a smile, âNo thanks.â
âUgh! Itâs okay to fantasize about him from time to time. If youâre really looking for a boyfriend, Iâd still
recommend Kenneth!â
Karen was really pushing it now. She longed to get her bestie into Kennethâs bed
âThatâs enough, girl, I think about it when Iâve made enough moneyâ
After hanging up, Dorothy sat down and picked up a piece of toast. But before she could take a bite,
the video from Karen came in.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to open it.
In the video, Everett was wearing a dark suit with a black shirt underneath, which gave him a cold and
aloof look. His chiseled face was calm and composed as he faced the camera.
âMr. Lopez, do you have any plans to get married recently?â The reporter asked.
âNo.â
âDo you prefer the soft type or the career type?â
âCareer type.
The reporter smiled, âSo, Mr. Lopez, youâve got someone in mind?â
Everett paused for a moment, then nodded, âYes, and itâs just for one person.â
The reporter asked him a lot more questions, and Everett answered each one professionally.
But Dorothy didnât continue to watch. She turned off her phone and started biting her toast.
For some reason, the toast didnât taste good today. Not at all.
After breakfast, she cleaned up the table and went to ask Kevin about her schedule for the day.
In the elevator she took out her phone and deleted the video.
No point in watching it again.
