Dorothy sprang up from the edge of her bed.
"Stop fussing over me, I’m fine! Whatever happens between me and Everett, I won’t let you get dragged into this mess. Go abroad for your surgery!"
"You really think that out of the blue, a doctor contacted me, claiming they could fix my leg overseas?"
"...What do you mean?"
How could Dorothy not understand?
Kenneth sighed heavily, "Never mind, forget I said anything."
When he found out the doctor was recommended by Jeffrey, he started to doubt it.
But just then, he reconsidered, not wanting to share his suspicions with Dorothy! If she understood, she would surely guess that Everett was behind it all.
This meant Everett still cared for Dorothy, enough to send him away.
Kenneth... didn’t want to be the catalyst for their relationship.
Let him be selfish then.
...
For three consecutive days, there was no word from Everett.
Quincy was getting more anxious by the minute.
With no other choice, she decided to confront him at his office directly.
"Hi, I'd like to see Mr. Lopez."
"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist, taken aback by the request to see the CEO, gave her a curious look.
"...No."
The receptionist smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, but you need an appointment to see Mr. Lopez."
After all, it's not every day that just anyone could meet with the CEO of a company.
Just as Quincy was about to pull out her contacts, ready to use her influence to get to Everett at any cost, she spotted Kevin walking through the lobby while on a phone call.
