Everett wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. Despite the rollercoaster they'd been on, it was only in these moments, with her in his embrace, that he felt truly fulfilled.
Everyone told Dorothy she was lucky to have a man like Everett love her so deeply.
But Everett always felt he was the lucky one!
To have the girl he'd set his heart on since his youth in his arms, and to share two beautiful children with her, how could he not feel like the luckiest man alive?
"Come on, the guests are waiting for us. We can't just stand here hugging all day," Dorothy said, her cheeks flushing a hint of pink. Despite their relationship being no secret, the stares from the crowd still made her uneasy.
"We'll continue this at home tonight."
"..."
Dorothy wasn't blushing this time; instead, she suddenly remembered the new gadget Karen had given her.
She decided to trust Karen one more time!
...
The ribbon-cutting ceremony for Trust-E, thanks to Everett's participation, attracted the crème de la crème of Eldorria City's business world, and even some national tycoons made an appearance.
The event was so grand it could have been mistaken for a celebration of a Fortune 500 company, not the opening of a small business.
Dorothy spent the day shaking hands and smiling until her face felt stiff, regretting that she couldn't personally attend to every guest. But thankfully, with Everett and Jeffrey by her side, handling drinks and pleasantries, there was nothing to fault.
As dusk approached, Dorothy finally got a chance to catch her breath.
Everett handed her a glass of warm water, "Tomorrow, your two project teams are going to be swamped."
Mentioning this, Dorothy couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at him.
"My little company was doing just fine with two project teams! Now, they're going to be busier than ever!"
