NovelEnglishStanding at the threshold of the CEO's office, every second felt like an eternity for Dorothy. Just moments ago, she had so much to say to Everett, but now... she found herself at a loss for words. The brief wait at his door was already unbearable for her. And Everett? He had waited for her for over a decade, aimlessly, without any promise or hope of her return. Now, the roles were reversed. How could she, who could barely stand to wait a few days or even a few minutes, question him about changing his password? As Everett had pointed out, every tshe decided to leave him behind, she did so with conviction, leaving wounds with her words. And now, why couldn't she accept it when the tables were turned? Finally, the office door swung open. Dorothy's gaze immediately snapped to him-Everett had lost weight, and his stoic demeanor seemed even more pronounced. She couldn't help but wonder, was it because of her? "Didn't you want to see me?" His voice was hoarse, likely from back-to-back meetings and a lack of rest.
"Yeah." Dorothy nodded.

The office was a place she knew all too well, yet it felt like it had been ages since her last visit. After an unpleasant encounter the last tshe was here, she hadn't cback.
"What do you need?" Everett settled back into his chair, leaning slightly backward. He rubbed his temples unconsciously, a sign of his fatigue.
Dorothy didn't take a seat but moved closer, "Headache? Lethelp." "No need." Everett dodged her offer.
"|" An awkward silence ensued, making both of them uneasy. Everett broke the silence with a firm tone, "If you have something to say, say it. Then you should get going, it's tto clock out." "I... I tried to enter your conference room earlier," Dorothy hesitated, then slowly continued, "and I noticed you changed the password." "Am I not allowed to?" Everett countered.
"Of course you are." Dorothy nodded, biting her lip slightly, "I just couldn't wrap my head around it at first, sol cto you. But after thinking it over outside, I realized that it's your right have no place to interfere! It's just.. you used to do it, and now that you've changed it, I felt a bit upset, that's all." en. FindThis side of Dorothy, so conciliatory, was new to Everett. It pained him. He would have preferred Dorothy storming in, lashing out at him, or even resorting to violence, anything but this subdued version of her. Dorothy with her head hung low was not the sight he wanted to see.
"You" Everett suddenly clenched his fist, fighting his emotions, "Is that all you wanted to talk about?" "Yeah." "Then why haven't you left after figuring it out?" Dorothy smiled, "Because I wanted to see you! Since Kevin already told you I was waiting and you agreed to see me, I wouldn't just leave. I wanted to see you." Even under such grim circumstances, she wanted to see Everett.
