Chapter 384
Dorothy was startled and seemed to sober up a bit
She was too busy being upset that she forgot she was in Eldoria City, a place where she was bound torun into people she knew.
Tm here on some business and will be leaving tomorrow,”
Lane raised his voice, “My concern isn’t when you’re leaving but who’s the guy you checked into thehotel with?”
His tone was reminiscent of a husband catching his wife in an act of infidelity
Furrowing her eyebrows, Dorothy didn’t owe him an explanation and she didn’t have the time for thiseither. Hence, she said, ‘Thad too much to drink, a friend’s brother was just escorting me back to thehotel.”
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you, you’re my boss, and I’m on vacation.”
Dorothy’s response muted Lane, I’m just concerned about you! Don’t trouble your friend’s brotheranymore. I have a friend in Eldenria City: her come to take care of you. It’s more convenient, she’s agirl.”
“No need.”
Dorothy’s refusal was too blunt, leaving Lane feeling slighted
But Dorothy wasn’t in the mood to care about that at the moment.
“Dorothy, I’m just trying to look out for you! Besides, you said you’re not ready to think aboutrelationships right now, and I haven’t pressured you. But you turn around and check into a hotel withanother man, Don’t even have the right to ask?”
He thought he was unique for Dorothynovelbin
After all, he made many efforts to pursue her
Wasn’t she moved at all?
“I have explained what you asked. Any other thing is my personal business, Lane, don’t cross the line.”
After that, Dorothy felt a pang in her heart.
She was telling others not to cross the line, but what about her?
She was no better, unable to control herself
“Fine, I won’t cross the line. Pretend I never called” Lane hung up abruptly, probably upset.
But Dorothy didn’t bother to worry about his feelings now.
She was stil dealing with her heartache.
Soon, Kenneth returned, not only with more liquor, but also with a hangover remedy and a light blanket.
“It’s chilly in the wee hours, cover up.”
“Thank you.”
“Dorothy, from now on, just consider me your brother like Karen does. No need to think about anythingelse. We’re family”
Dorothy looked up at him and gave a slight nod.
When she had been crying earlier, Kenneth had a sudden realization
Rather than having a romantic relationship with all its ups and downs, it would be better to have afamilial relationship.
He could be by her side for a long time. At least when she was feeling down, she could think of him.
Jeffrey called Everett as soon as he saw Dorothy. But there was no answer, so he told Lane.
It wasn’t until he arrived at the Lopez Building the next morning that he received a callback fromEverett.
“What were you up to? I made so many calls, and you’re only seeing them now?”
“I got drunk.”
Jeffrey laughed. “You’re not so tough either! When I got home, I threw up a lot, sobered up, then wentout again when a girl invited me.”
Everett, who had just woken up, had a slightly horse voice.
“Haven’t had a drink in a while, I have dropped my drinking capacity.”
“I can see that! Hey, guess who I saw when I went out in the middle of the night?”
“Just tell me.” Everett wasn’t a fan of guessing games
“I saw Dorothy! She and Kenneth went into a hotel together I saw it with my eyes, they were very closel
