The call was picked up after a few moments.
âHey? You awake?â
âYeah. It was you who picked me up from the restaurant last night, right? Thanks a lot.â Dorothy didnât
directly question who had changed her clothes. She was just grateful that someone had taken care of
her
âNo problemâ
âWas it just you who came to get me last night? Dorothy ventured. I mean, I was pretty smashed. You
sure you handled that all by yourself?â
She was still trying to justify why she was asking this
The driver cut night to the chase. âIt was my girlfriend who changed your clothesâ
âOh! Thatâs..uh, I mea
âItâs fine, you donât need to thank me. Youâve helped me a lot too
After a wild night, Everett was filled with regret. Not because of anything else, but she was a married
woman now, and heâd always prided himself on his cleanliness Now, he ended up being the other man
Morally, he couldnât bear this kind of selfâcondemnation
So, he made sure Dorothy was settled in and then left the hotel.
Having found her answer, Dorothy said a few more words and then ended the call. There were still
other people she had to reply to, lest they continue worrying about her.
As she considered getting up and taking a shower, she dialed Natalias number, but there was no
answer.
After hanging up, Dorothy headed to the bathroom, only then noticing a dull ache in her lower abdomen
And a certain discomfort in a secret place.
Could it be that her period was coming?
She checked her phone again. Yes, she was due in a few days.
Dorothy turned on the shower and stood under the stream of water as she let it wash over her
She closed her eyes, hoping this would help allevate the discomfort.
Suddenly!
A fragment of last nightâs events and a sound flashed in her mind.
âDorothy, sober up!â
She snapped her eyes open
That was Everettâs voice.
heart seemingly stopped for a moment.
But after a moment of shock, she dismissed it as a hallucination. Her mind must have been playing
tricks on her again,
Recently, she didnât know what was up with her. Was it because she was about to leave home and
couldnât bear to let go? Was this why she kept thinking about Everet1
Lane stormed into Verity Holdings Limited, scaring the life out of Hayden. He really hadnât expected
that Dorothy would mean so much to Lane.
âHayden, I sent my people here to discuss business, not to get drunk!â
âYes, yes, itâs all my fault.â Sensing Laneâs great anger, Hayden quickly apologized. âI was just so
excited that I was thinking. And Ma, Sanchez was so accommodating, she kept drinking what I poured,
so I thought she could hold her liquor, who knew she..â
Lone shot him a glare. âSo youâre saying itâs my people who canât handle their booze?â
âNo, no, not at all Hayden waved his hands, trying to look sincere. understand how you feel, and Iâm
worried too! When she didnât come back yesterday, I thought she had gone to rest. Thad quite a few
drinks mysell, or else this wouldnât have happened. In the end, this is my responsibility, and since it
happened on my turf, I must be accountable.â
With that, he called a few security guards over. âGd

âYes, Haydenâ
