Chapter 109

Everett, fresh out of the shower, saw her sitting there and knitting her brows in deep thought.

He walked over while towel–drying his still dripping hair

“Go to my room and grab the medicine from the table. The room code is 0825.”

Darathy immediately got up and nodded upon hearing his voice. “Sure thing, Mr. Lopez.”

Since the Lopez Corporation had a stake in this hotel, the presidential suite where Everett stayed was

exclusively his. So he became the

one to set the code.

She went to get his medicine, and on the way back, she couldn’t help but punder

His code hadn’t changed, which meant his feelings for Heather probably hadn’t either. Were they

having another liff?

Even though her original plan to break the contract might be down the drain, she found herself oddly

relieved.

Dorothy was really messing with her own head.

On one hand, she was desperate to escape the emotional entanglement of Everett and Heather, to

stop being someone’s standin

On the other hand, the thought of having no connection with Everett once the contract ended made her

feel a pang of loss.

That’s right, loss. The feeling was crystal clear

She could fool ethers, but not herself.

Back in the room, Everett had already changed his clothes and waited for Dorally to apply his

medication.

She shuffled over slowly, trying her best to keep her eyes off his well–built physique

‘Did the doctor say it would leave a scar? To avoid the awkward silence. Dorothy stated a conversation

“Didn’t ask” Everett’s thin lips moved slightly, ‘Do you mind?”

What did that have to do with me? She thought

“If you think it’s unsightly, it can be removed. Everett when he woke up in the hospital, was too

consumed with displeasure and anger to care about his wound.

Especially since Dorothy hadnt called or texted him since he woke up!

“Was the accident happening while you were rushing to the hospital to find me?”

She finally mustered the courage to ask after a second of hesitation.

Everett’s gaze fell on her face.

If she hadn’t brought it up, he would’ve let it slide. After all, when he decided to pursue Dorothy after

they reunited, he knew it wasn’t going to be easy.

It would require endless patience and time.

But since she had mentioned it, Everett sat up, “Why did you decide to let Kenneth pretend to be your

boyfriend without even asking me?

“You’re so busy. How could I bother you with my trivial matters?”

“Dorothy! How many times have I told you before to share your troubles with me?

“But the problem… its not easy to solve! I brought you, I’d have to explain to my mom why you went

from being my boss to my boyfriend, and…

And how could she dare to let Everest face her mother’s harsh criticism!?

She even felt guilty when she was facing Kenneth.

“You’ve never believed that I could face any problem with you, right?” He asked,

She blinked her eyes and met his gaze.

After a long silence, she nodded. ‘No, I don’t believe.”

Dorothy smirked, “You’re the golden boy grown up with everyone’s adoration. We’m not from the same

world! Your time is spent on controlling a massive corporation, while I have to deal with all the trivial

and clinatic stuff that can’t be solved with monry

How could they possibly face these together?
