This must have been Everettâs scheme
Lane took the last drag of his cigarette, then ground it out under his boot before striding towards the
car.

He knocked on the window
The glass rated down, revealing a face that clearly belonged to a secretary, who was dressed in a
sharp suit.
âCan I help you sir?â
Lane took the opportunity to glance at the backseat, but a divider blocked his view. He was certain that
there was someone there.
âMind if I borrow a light? I need a drag Lane pulled out his pack of smokes and gave it a little shake.
âSorry, I donât smoke.âKevin gave him a polite smile and started to roll up the window,
But Lane beat him to the punch and started a new topic. Is there a big shot in this car? May lack who it
is? Iâm also in the business world. Iâm the owner of East Star Enterprises. Would it be possible to get
acquainted?ââ
East Star Enterprises?
Wasnât that Dorothyâs company?
Ken reflexively glanced in the rearâview mirror, but he saw no reaction âMy boss is resting. Sorry for
the inconvenience.â
âAlright.â
âHe was clearly rejected. Lane knew his attempt at smalltalk had failed.
Just as he was about to turn away, he heard the sound of the car door opening from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw a face that he usually only saw in magazines, now brightly it in his line of
sight.
Everett was extraordinary dazzling
Even though he was dressed casually now, his tall figure alone standing there was enough to create an
invisible pressure. The aura of nobility and aloofness that permeated his whole being was inmate.
âYouâre Lane.â Everettâs statement was not a question
Lane was still a bit surprised that he could say his name so accurately
He readily admitted as he stepped forward and extended his hand.
But Everett didnât seem to have any mention of shaking it.
âWhat do you want?â
âNothing in particular, I just saw your car parked here. Itâs quite
If in were anyone else, Everett might have believed them
conspicuous, so I thought Iâd introduce myselfâ
But for a man who pursuing Dorothy he would be a fool to believe such empty words
âYou brought Dorothy here.â His appearance here left no room for doubt.
Lane nodded as a sly smile played on his lips. âYes. She wanted to thank the person who helped her it
was late, so I offered to drive her here. She wanted
to take me up with her, but I thought it wouldnât be appropriate for me to meet her friends, especially
since she hasnât announced our status yet.â
His statement was loaded with information. It was not just a hint to Everett, but a clear message that
Dorothy was now his
But Lane made a mistake. There was no one in the world who knew Dorothy better than Everett
âYounted oncoming, didnât you?â
Lane fell silent
Dorothy wouldnât ask for companyâ
âMr. Lopez, youâve been apart from her for so many years, so how can you be sure she hasnât
changed?â Lane chuckled. People always changeâ
Everettâs than lips latched slightly. âShe wonât.â
âLoper, if you know her so well, why did you divorce Dorily in the first place?â Lane shrugged as he
spread his hands. Because you didnât understand her! You didnât know what she really wanted!â
