Chapter 277

Like a statue, Jeffrey stood stock–still. His fingers twitched slightly as he vigorously rubbed his eyes.

Was he seeing things?

She was actualy in Everglow City?

But then again, it all made sense. No wonder Everett had changed his mind about so many things after

his brief stay in Everglow City

“What are you standing around for? Go say hi Lane, who hadn’t noticed Dorothy, had just gotten out of

the car and saw Jeffrey standing there. frozen

“I ran into someone I know.” Jeffrey said, pointing towards Dorothy in the distance

Following his gaze, Lane broke into a grin. “You know her?”

“Yeah, she’s…

the girl like.”

Jeffery was dumbfounded.

“Pretty, isn’t she?” Lane continued, oblivious to the fact that the man beside him was turning to stone.

“But it’s not just her looks that appreciate It’s the way she focuses when she works that really gets me.

What do you think?”

Jeffrey’s mouth twitched, and his voice became stra red with tension. “Nothing special”

“Nothing special?!” Lane immediately questioned Jeffery’s eyes. He tumed to see his friend’s pale and

stunned face What’s wrong with your Suddenly, Jeffrey clutched Lane’s arm “Wait Did you say she’s

mamed?!”

“Yeah!” Lane nodded, surprised by his reaction. ‘She’s been married since she joined the company.

Everyone knows. She’s never tried to h

“Have you ever met her husband?”

“No.” Lane was even more curious than Jeffrey about what kind of man she was married to. “But you

can tell they’re deeply in love. Their bondis stronger than goid”

Stronger than gold?

Jeffrey wished he could record those words and let Everett hear them, so he’d finally give up and agree

to marry Heather.

“Lane, you probably don’t stand a chance.”

“Why?”

“Because men who are a thousand times better than you have been rejected by her.”

Jeffrey had always wondered what kind of woman could resist a man like Lane. He was a rich second

generation her with good looks and marriage intentions. But the moment he saw Dorothy, he knew

Dorothy was indeed a rate woman.

As Dorothy and Austin discussed their project, they walked forward.

Austin laughed heartily. “Im just riding your coattails. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have such an honor.”

“If you say so, then I’d better not go I can’t handle the gossip at the office. I’m afraid my husband would

get jealous.”

“Your husband is lucky to have you!”

As Dorothy waved him off and turned around, she found herself looking night at Lane and Jeffrey

Her face changed instantly, and she instinctively turned to leave.

Lane quickly followed her “Whats wrong?”

I just remembered that I have something to do at home. I can’t join you for dinner today I’m sorry!”

Is there come misunderstanding between you and Jelfiey?” Lane wasn’t a fool It was clear that

something was off between Dorothy and Jeffrey. He’s my friend. If he’s offended you in any way, I’ll

have him apologize to you!”

As Dorothy began to feel nervous, her hand tightened into a fist Wo it’s not that I realy have something

to do”

“Lane, let me talk to her alone” Before Lane finished speaking, Jeffiny had already stepped in front of

Dorothy as a devious smide played on his handsome face.
