Since Emmett went along with it, Natalia had no choice but to follow
âAlright! Thatâs the spirit! Gabriel, pour them another round! Hayden gave Gabriella knowing look, and
he instantly picked up on it
Dorothy was already feeling the effects of the alcohol, and she didnât want Natala, a young woman, to
get drunk too. âEmmett, Lane just called me and said he needs a file. Go with Natalia to the hotel and
send it to him:
âMs. Sanchez, Iâ¦
âJust go!â Dorothy gave him a look, signaling for him to take Natalia away first.
Emmett had no choice but to comply. âAlright.â
Dorothy wasnât completely disregarding her own safety. She was planning to have Emmett come back
for her later, but for now, she needed to get Natalia out of there.
She had just been discharged from the hospital so she couldnât afford to end up there again just
because of alcohol.
Once the two of them left, the frequency at which Gabriel and Hayden poured Dorothy more drinks
increased. It seemed as if the moment she finished one glass, the next was already filled to the brim.
Dorothy knew she couldnât drink any more. She waved her hand and was somewhat unsteady as she
stood up. need to use the restroom.â
âLet me help youâ Hayden said, already standing up
âNo need; I can manage At this point, even if it took all her remaining sobriety Dorothy had to pretend
she wasnât drunk
She planned to call Emmett from the restroom, but the moment she stepped inside, her vision started
to blur
Her phone rang at that exact moment. Dorothy took it out to answer, but she couldnât even make out
the words on the screen.
âHello..â
âWhere are you. Dorothy?
âHel hello. Iâm drunkâ¦
After she said those three words, her knees buckled, and she collapsed in the restroom.
When Everett found her in the ladiesâ room, she was completely unconscious
Without any hesitation, he strode in and lifted Dorothy from the floor as his handsome face dawned a
cold and grim expression
Everett didnât even want to think about what could have happened if he hadnât arrived.
She was completely wasted Wasnât she easy prey?
Four years, and you havenât changed at allâ
Outside, Gabriel and Hayden were still waiting. The spiked drinks were finally serving their purpose,
Hayden cut a piece of steak as he laughed. âGabriel, this is business as usual, huh! Women are so
easy to deal with, and sheâs the project director too. If sheâs willing to let things slide, negotiations will
be much smoother.â
Indeed, Hayden, you are a genius. Youâre willing to sacrifice a lot for the company
âHaha! Iâm not losing anything. Sheâs quite attractive, but too bad sheâs a married womanâ After saying
this, he glanced at the bottle of wine as his eyes darkened. However, he was still unable to hide the
smile on his lips. âTell me, how much did you put in this drink? I hope I can handle it; Iâm forty after all
âDonât worry! Iâve read the message you sent me. Iâve added just enough. Youâre in your prime, so
thereâs no doubt you can handle itâ
Hayden put the cut steak on his plate, then patted Gabriel on the shoulder, âGabriel, no wonder youâre
doing so well in the company! Youâre a smart one!â Even though Gabriel had managed to restrain his
ulterior motives, it didnât mean he didnât want to use Dorothy to curry favor with his boss.
After all, if anything happened, he had Hayden, a senior execute, to take the fall. If not, he could please
his boss. It was a win win situation.
