Dorothy didn't mean to look down on the poor, but she just couldn't get her mom! She believed that marrying a dishonest man, whether rich or poor, would have led to him cheating. If he was poor and having an affair, it would have just aggravated her even more.
And with Bella's attitude, which man would she have dared to bring home? He would have probably gotten beaten half to death as soon as he walked through the door! "So, | need to see this guy myself. He has to pass my test before I'll accept your marriage!" "I got it. I'l bring him." Dorothy's tone was full of frustration.
Work pressure was already enough, and her mom had to add another burden on her.
Finding a fake boyfriend was even harder than staying up late to write a few more project proposals! After hanging up, Dorothy leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.
She didn't have much time to think about those things, because the evaluation meeting for the Social Networking Service was about to start. Whether the project could be invested in depended on that step.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCollecting herself, Dorothy hurried back to the office to organize the materials.
After a busy day, the good news was that the Social Networking Service project passed the evaluation, and they decided to invest! The bad news was that Everett wanted her to visit Heather in the hospital.
Dorothy really wanted to ask Everett how many more times he had planned on making Heather jealous in front of her on purpose! Couldn't that guy have been more flexible? She felt like just telling Heather the truth for Everett.
But she only thought about it. After all, breaking the contract then would have been a disaster for her.
Close to getting off work, Dorothy started praying for Kevin to ask her to work overtime! Preferably all night.
Unfortunately, her prayers fell on deaf ears, and as soon as the clock struck, Everett called.
"Meet me in the underground garage." There was a brief pause before she replied, "Okay." Dorothy sluggishly left the office, took the elevator, walked to the president's parking space.
Everett saw her and stepped out of the driver's seat, "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I'm just a bit tired." She wished she could have pretended to be sick and say she couldn't go! But, Everett had paid so much money and rarely asked her for anything. If she made an excuse to get out of that, she might have been very close to being released from the contract.
And it was all because she was broke.
"I'll take you home to rest.” He said it very naturally, without a hint of hesitation.
It even surprised Dorothy a bit, "Can 1?" She could get out of this? Everett gave a helpless smile, "Of course, but I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip." Even Jeffrey had accused him of being unsociable. He reflected on himself and felt something was wrong.
Because Everett always kept a distance from women, when faced with possible misunderstandings, he would instinctively stay away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You go ahead. Don't worry about me. It's not a big deal. I'l be fine after a little rest!" When Dorothy felt like she'd been pardoned, she let out a sigh of relief, and her mood improved all the way home.
Everett glanced at her in the rear-view mirror.
She didn't seem tired at all.
After dropping Dorothy off at Bay Residence, Everett drove to the hospital.
As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Jeffrey helping Heather to stand up.
As soon as she saw Everett, Heather instinctively pushed Jeffrey away.
"Everett, you're here!" "Yeah." He put the fruits and supplements he'd just bought on the table.
Seeing that, Jeffrey frowned, "You two chat. I'll go get her medication.”
