NovelEnglishIt was so subtle, so faint that Dorothy hadn't noticed it when Everett walked in earlier. Right now, her mind was blank. Honestly, she had never even considered such a scenabefore. It was something she'd only encountered in or on TV shows...
Dorothy took a moment to steady her nerves, then leaned in again to take a closer sniff. Yes, there was definitely a hint of perfume. But then she reconsidered. She shouldn't doubt Everett! As a CEO, mingling in meetings and partnerships, it was inevitable he'd pick up sfaint scent of perfume. And since it was so light, it surely meant he hadn't been around someone for long! Even in a hospital, sitting next to a woman could leave a trace, right? Though Dorothy knew Everett wasn't one to get cozy with women, she also knew that under certain circumstances, he might not be as cautious. Trust. She needed to trust him.

Turning around, Dorothy squinted with a smile, "Nothing much. Just wondering if there's anything I can do to help you unwind after such a tiring day." "Having you by my side is enough." Everett didn't want to overburden her, so he hadn't insisted on her coming back to work at the company, just involved her in this one project, "I'm going to take a shower." "Okay!" As Everett headed into the bathroom and closed the door behind him, the smile on Dorothy's face vanished, her gaze landing on his phone left by the table. She really was insecure, wasn't she? It was a deep-seated kind of unease. But this time, Dorothy just stared at the phone, not moving an inch forward.
"I need to trust Everett, believe that he'll never leave me..." Perfscent, what was that in the grand schof things? Right, Everett wouldn't leave her.
The next morning, Everett personally dropped Abigail and Langston off at school before taking Dorothy to the office. Stepping out of the underground parking lot elevator, they bumped into a familiar face.
"Everett!" Jeffrey, as always, looked carefree with his suit worn loosely and the top two buttons of his shirt undone.
"Got a meeting today?" Everett was surprised to see him. Jeffrey seldom visited the office without a reason.

"No meeting, just sissues with the project documents. Cto check with my assistant," Jeffrey, et despite his laid-back appearancene was known for delivering one outstanding results on his projects without causing Everett any worries. "How's Karen doing?" Dorothy suddenly remembered she hadn't seen her in a while.
"Oh, her? She's obsessed with losing weight at home, got no idea what got into her, insisting she needs to get under 140 pounds!" Jeffrey. rolled his eyes, "Before having the baby she was over that, and now she's on this weight loss craze!" made him feel like his wife wasn't as cuddly at night anymore! She used to be all soft and squishy... Dorothy couldn't help but smile, "Just indulge her. Karen always talks about losing weight but gives up after a while." "I hope she gives up soon! My meals at hhave turned so bland, I might start sneaking out for a burger soon!" Karen hadn't lost much weight, but Jeffrey looked like he'd dropped a size! After a brief chat, Jeffrey left for the cozy domestic life waiting for him at home, Exiting the elevator, Everett suddenly said, "You, don't go on a diet like Karen."
