Tve got no chance with her. She wouldnât give Everett the time of day so what hope do I have?â
1 see your pointâ
After a short conversation with Jeffrey Lane hung up the phone Heimmediately reached out to Austin.
He ordered him to tell Dorothy that there was an urgent matter back in Everglow City that required her
attention
Everett was also in Haverbrook City and he couldnt afford to give him any opportunities to approach
Dorothy.
As he was about to leck his phone, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a number saved
onhsphone.
It was Heatherâs number, which he stole from Jeffreyâs phone. But he didnât dial it.
It wasnt time to play his last card yes. He didnât want to escalate things.
When Austin called, Dorothy was still worried about the driver She wanted to meet with him as soon as
possible to figure out what had happened and how her drug had been neutralized,
âDorothy, Everglow City needs you. When can you return?â
Tve almost finished up here. so probably in a day or two Lane is also in Havenbrook City now, let me
check with him.â
âWright!â
After hanging up the phone, Dorothy once again found that the driver had not yet responded to her.
The longer she kept waiting, the more restless she became.
Finally, she received his missäge
[How about we meet at Harvest Restaurant at 7 pm tonight?)
Sounds good ill bring your receipt]
She quickly got herself ready, making sure to put the receipt in her purse.
As she stepped out of her hotel room, she saw Lane standing around the corner smoking a cigarette
Upon seeing Dorothy, Lane extinguished his cigarette and naked towards her. Did you have a good
rest?â
âYeahâ
âWhat are you up to? Lane examined her from head to toe, noticing that she was clearly dressed for an
outing.
Tm meeting a friend who helped me out last night Im treating him to dinner as a thank youâ
Lane laughed Her Trend must be one of Everellâs men
Otherwise, how could he have known about these things and moved against Verity Holdings Limited
even before he did?
Mind if I tag along? Id like to thank your friend too
Dorothy paused and frowned slightly I dont think thatâs a good idea. He doesnât even know youâ
We can get to know each other then! After all, he did me a huge favor too. The people from Venty
Holdings Limited might have tried to harm you. Your friend stopped them in time, so I must express my
gratitude.â
Dorothy didnât want to bring Lane along.
Mainly because this was only her second meeting the driver. What would he think if she brought Lane
along?
âHeâs from Cverglow City. You can meet him there if you get a chance. Itâs not convenient for me to
bring you along tonightâ
âThen let me give you a lift Lane didnât push any further He was mainly interested in finding out who
this person was. He needed to know his enemy.
âI can just order a cal
âIâve got nothing to do. Why take a cab? Are you worried that I might do something to you?â
âAinght then âDorothy didnât want to argue with Lane Tight now, all she wanted was to meet the dryer
and find out what happened the night before
Lane drove her to the restaurant. Since was not yet the agreedâupon me, Dorothy didnt get out of the
car Instead, she discussed some work matters
with Lane
