Dorothy was spacing out for a second so she accidentally pressed a bit too hard...
Prople applied medicine to heal wounds, but when she did it, she somehow made Everett’s almost–healed wound bleed again!
“You, you’re bleeding! I go get the doctor!”
Dorothy was about to dash off, but Everett grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
“I’m fine” He said
“You’re not fine! Your wound has re–opened! I’m so sorry...I didn’t mean it!” She was like a kid who’s done something wrong,
spinning around like a headless chicken.
Everett gave a helpless smile; he just couldn’t handle her sometimes
It’s just a small wound, no biggie.”
“But ...”
“You didn’t have dinner, right? I ask room service to send something up.” He interrupted her gently, then followed with a slightly
awkward cough, ‘Ga take a shower first”
Dorothy suddenly realized that given their positions, any movement could easily cause a stir, of all places, she was pressed up
against his lower body
He couldn’t hide his bulge much longer...
“Okay! M...I’ll go take a shower!”
She couldn’t think about anything else so she even forget to grab a change of clothes. And she bolted into the bathroom just like
that
Watching Dorothy’s retreating figure. Everett’s lips curved into a small smirk.
She really was something else.
Dorothy, in opposition to Everett, wished she could shrink and escape through the drain in the bathroom‘
That didn’t go as she planned. Now she was taking a shower after him. Why?
Shouldn’t they be sitting down in discuss the dissolution of their contract and when they’d head to get their divorce certificate?
Everett and Heather had already reached the paint of buying each other underwear or this business trip. She wouldn’t buy it if he
later told her they werent back together.
Dorothy paced around the bathroom a few times before Everett’s voice came from outside.
‘Dinner’s here.”
“Okay, I’ll be right out. She clenched her fists, opened the bathroom door, and saw Everett standing at the door. His eyes were
scanning over her
“You didn’t shower?”
“I think we need to have a serious talk, Mr. Lopez. What do you say?”
Everett nodded with a calm look, “Sure, let’s talk while we cat”
He walked over to the dining table and even thoughtfully pulled out the chair for her.
Dorothy took a deep breath, “I think you should reconsider our contract!”
Everett paused in cutting his steak. He raised an eyebrow, “Now that the surgery is over and you don’t need me anymore, huh?”
“No, no, thats not what I mean!!”
“Ms. Sanchez, there’s something you should be clear about. We signed the contract written in black and white, so you should
honor it”
If she wanted to be formal about it, he could play along
the penalty”
“Of course, if you’re adamant about breaking the contract, fil have my lawyer contact you tomorrow to discuss the p
Penalty?
Dorothy was stunned, “Aren’t you the one who wants to break the contract?”
Why would she have to pay a penalty? She hadnt even asked him for anything yell
“Did I say that?”

“No.”
But Everett was already hack together with Heather. Was he still planning to keep her, the substitute, around?!
“So, anything else you want to discuss?” Everett pushed the cut steak in front of her
Lifting his eyes to look at her
“No.”
“Then have some food and get some rest early. I’m tired today”
