When Everct; emerged from his room again, heâd changed into a casual white cutfit. The change took
years off him, and he now looked like a college kid, ready to hit the court with his basketball.
Dorothy was still trying to figure out how to ditch him. To be seen in public with Exerell was too
conspicuous. What if they were snapped by paparazzi
âLetâs go.â
âMr. Lopez, do you think there might be media arcund or people from our company? Donât you think it
might not look so good if they see us?â She hinted delicatel
However, Everett didnât seem to care. Whatâs the big deal?
Dorothy fell silent
Well if he said so, all Dorothy could do was go with it
The supermarket wasnât crowded and had good security. Everyone was busy shopping, and hardly
anyone was rubbernecking.
Even so, Dority deliberately kept some distance from Everett and headed straight to the pork chop
section, urging the butcher to hurry up with the weighing.
Finally, with the pork chops in hand, she turned around, ready to tell Everett they could leave, only to
find a new face by his side. Heather
This was the second time sheâd seen her.
Even off work, Heather was dressed in a Chanel cardigan over a couture dress, looking graceful and
charming as the chatted with Everett
The two of them did look like quite a pair
Dorothy glanced at herself. She was holding a bag of pork chops and dressed in a white see and jeans,
feeling utterly shabby in companson,
Suddenly she noticed Everettâs gaze sweeping acund. He was probably looking for her.
Instinctively she quickly ducked behind a nearby shelf
Why was she hiding?
just didnât want Heather to see her
But as if the universe were playing a joke on her, the moment she looked up, Heather was right in front
of her.
âI remember you Youâre Dorothy, right?â
âUh, yeah She managed to force a smile on her face, trying to hide her discomfort.
Heather pointed behind her and smiled. âEverett was looking for you just now. Heâs ever by the
household goods now Better go catch up with himâ
Busted. Dorothy could only nod and mumble an okay
Just as she was about to leave, Heather suddenly called her back. âPlease take care of him for me, will
you? I know about your arrangement with him, and I know heâs doing this to get at me. But I canât help
it in a low more years, hell understand why I did what I did.â Heather stepped closer, eamestly grasping
he hand Please, for now, love him for me.â
Dorothy had no idea what was going on between Heather and Everett, but it sounded lise Heather had
her reasons.
And from what Heather was saying, she seemed sure that Dorothyâs relationship with Everett wouldnât
last
âMs. Heather about me and Mr. Lopez, itâs a contract between us. Iâm just fulfilling my obligation. The
contract doesnât include loving him for you
Perhaps she didnât expect the girl whoid been avoiding her to fee back so directly Heather frowned
slightly. âAre you saying youâve fallen for Everett?â
âNo. Donât get the wrong idea, Ms. Heather Dorothy replied promptly I am me, and you are you. Thereâs
no replacing anyoneâ âHave you ever looked in the mirror?â
