Chapter 647
"Quit laying down the law with Kenneth, will ya?"
Everett lifted his hand, pinching her cheek playfully. "If you need a reference on how that goes, justtake a look at what happened to Lane."
Dorothy fell silent, genuinely considering it.
Yeah, he could be quite the dictator.
"Tired? Let's hit the sack," he said, wrapping his arms around Dorothy, who by now felt as limp asovercooked spaghetti in his embrace.
But today, Dorothy had a stubborn streak.
She reached out with her delicate hand, tracing circles on Everett's chest, igniting sparkseverywhere.
"You didn't... finish it before..."
She vaguely remembered something Karen had once told her – that it's super uncomfortable for aguy if things get interrupted.
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned it, Dorothy could feel the heat rising off his skin, his breathstaggering slightly out of sync.
"Do you even know what you're talking about?"
"Take a wild guess?"
Dorothy chuckled, wrapping her arms around his neck, deliberately breathing onto his chest inquick, ticklish bursts. "Am I not attractive to you anymore?"
Everett could almost hear his self-control shattering.
"Dorothy."
"Yeah?"
"No regrets."
Before she could utter another word, all her protests were muffled by a kiss.
This time the intensity surpassed the earlier moment, Dorothy's soft moans breaking into shards.
In the thick of passion, she responded fervently, as if granting him unspoken permission to explorewithout end.
Until her stamina was spent, and still the man wouldn't quit.
"Everett... you're crushing me... I can't take it anymore!"
"Endure it. You started this."
He had intended to let her go!
After a night of tangles, Dorothy finally conceded.
Some things should not be said carelessly and some responsibilities were just too heavy to bear!
...
The next day, the sun was high in the sky by the time Dorothy stirred.
The man beside her had vanished.
Propping herself up, she remembered the events of last night and immediately got out of bed tolook for Everett.
After searching high and low with no sign of him, she worried he might have gone to the cemeteryagain.
Dorothy quickly dialed his number, and Everett promptly answered, his deep voice resonating,"Awake?"
"Where did you go?" she asked, a hint of urgency in her voice.
"I'm at the office. Had to postpone a meeting yesterday; couldn't skip it today."
Hearing his voice sounding somewhat normal, Dorothy felt a bit relieved.
"So, when are you free?"
"Missing me?"
"Yeah, missing you," Dorothy admitted, her cheeks flushing.
There was a pause on the other end, "The meeting should wrap up in about half an hour."
Dorothy blinked. "So, you mean you're in a meeting right now?!"
"Yes, as we speak."
"And you're asking me if I miss you!" She could vividly picture that in the vast conference room,Everett seated at the head of the table, casually posing the question over the phone, whileeveryone else would have been utterly baffled!
They must have thought they were hallucinating!
Especially because Everett was known in the industry for his icy demeanor.
"Yeah, why?"
Dorothy's patience was wearing thin, "Just hang up already!"
And he had the nerve to ask why! She didn't dare entertain the thought any longer.
Everett chuckled, "Why don't you come over to the office, Ms. Sanchez?"novelbin
It slipped her mind she was still on the payroll of Lopez Corporation.
"Alright, you carry on with your meeting. I'll get ready and head over."
"Sounds good."
After hanging up, Dorothy quickly touched her burning cheeks.
Everett was really not caring one bit about maintaining his cool and aloof public image!
