âA boy?â
Seeing the surprise on Dorothyâs face, the lady boss raised her eyebrows and asked, âOh, you didnât
know? I thought he spcafically requested this for youâ
After all, back then, it was usually only she who would go to eat hamburgers after evening selfâstudy
instead of rushing home.
âIt was probably not because of me.â
She didnât think anyone would have done that for her in middle school.
After chatting with the lady boss about the changes in the school, Durothy didnât want to delay their rest
and decided to take the hamburger before leaving.
Leaving the shop, she saw Everett waiting for her across the street
He hadnât followed her into the shop. He just stood there smoking a cigarette.
âYouâve never been here before, have you?
Dorothy thought. âHe, a young master from a wealthy family, probably wouldnât deign to eal such
ordinary food that only common folk
âIâve been here.â Everett stubbed out his cigarette, tock the takeaway bag from her hand, and
continued to walk beside her.
Dorothy looked up slightly. âReally?â
Iâm not as noble as you think
Although the Lopez family had been indeed wealthy back then, they were still far from their curent
status
âDo you think their food is good?â
âItâs okay, I ate there for two months straight.â
That really surprised Dorothy. She laughed a few times before saying. Till let you in on a secret. I
secretly worked here for two months in middle school! Luckily, Iâm tall. Otherwise, they would have
realized they were employing child labor, and I would have let the couple down! Back then, I was
begging them to hire me.â
Everett gave a slight smile, quietly listening to her talk about the past
As they walked and chatted, they arrived at the backed hotel
Dorothy tried a bite of the hamburger.
âstill tastes like I rememberâ
wanted to have another bite, but Everett took it away from her.
âStop eating. Itâs cold. Itâs not good for your stomach
He seemed to care a lot about her stomach issues.
Dorothy was taken aback, thinking that Heather must also have had stomach problems, hence why
Everett always reminded her.
It was not that she always intentionally thinks about Heather. It was just that every time Everest showed
concem for her, Dorothyâs mind involuntanly drifted to his tattoo on the collarbane, the password to his
place, and Heatherâs intimate calls of âEverettâ
*Hungry?â
Seeing her silence, Everett thought she was upset that he took her hamburger, so he gently said, âI
have my assistant bring some food
âNo need! I bought the hamburger on a whim.â She got up and grabbed her pajamas from the side of
the bed. âIâm going to take a shower.â
Dorothy hastily went into the bathroom. Looking at her reflection in the minar, she felt an indescribable
imitation.
She suddenly hated her own face!
Although it was because of her face that she caught Everettâs attention and gave her mother the
opportunity for surgery, it also constantly reminded her of her status as a substituto.
Ever since she signed the agreement with Everell, his gentleness, his consideration, and his
attentiveness, if Dorothy said she wasnât moved at all, that would be a liel Because she had very rarely
boon cared for in her life.
But the cruelest thing was that she knew very clearly that all those heartwarming good deeds were
given to Heather through her face.
Without that face, she probably wouldnât have even had the chance to talk to Everett alone!
14:57
That night, Dorothy was particularly proactive. Even when she was extremely exhausted and she didnât
have the strength to rise her hand, she didnât call for a stop.
