Dorothy clearly hadn't expected Everett to take issue with this.

She laughed awkwardly. "Mr. Lopez, you don't know my mom. She's old-fashioned and can't accept the contract between us. | was afraid she'd get mad if she found out, so | didn't tell her the truth." "So, you plan to make up with your boyfriend once the one-year contract is over?” His question was too sharp, and his gaze was too penetrating, leaving Dorothy at a loss for words.

She wished she hadn't made up this out-of-the-blue boyfriend. Now she was shooting herself in the foot.

"Um... | haven't thought about that." She couldn't say that she definitely wouldn't get back together with him, fearing that he would suspect that she was clinging to him.

"You've thought about it." Everett said coldly, "Otherwise, why wouldn't you tell your mother that you guys have already broken up?” Dorothy, who wasn't good at making up stories, was now at a loss for words. "Um...I..." "Think about the contract again." Everett stood at the end of the hospital corridor. His tall figure was half-immersed in the darkness, and his tone was cold and distant.

"Dorothy, | have cleanliness obsession. It's serious." Huh? She had no idea how Everett had ended up talking about his cleanliness obsession. By the time she wanted to speak, he had already disappeared.

"Everett's train of thought jumps too fast." Dorothy furrowed her brows, finding it difficult to figure her sugar daddy out. Not only did she have to handle his insatiable stamina in bed, but she also had to learn to read this man's mind.

Back in the ward, the doctor was monitoring Bella's heart.

Upon seeing her daughter walk in with a pained expression, she quickly asked, "What happened? Did your boss criticize you?" "No." Dorothy pulled up a chair to sit down and began peeling an apple for her mother.

"lI didn't say anything. | just asked him to take care of you a little more." Bella thought back and pouted. "He's tall and handsome, but why is he so petty? | didn't even say anything, and he got mad." Dorothy sighed. "Can you stop guessing? It has nothing to do with him. I'm just upset about work." "Take it slow. If you're having difficulties, don't push yourself. Go home early today, get a good night's sleep, and everything might be solved tomorrow." "Okay." She handed the apple to her mother and glanced at the time. "I really have to go early today." Although she was going to be trained at the headquarters, she couldn't ignore her duties at the Prosperity Consortium.

Everything needed to be in order.

After chatting with her mother for a while, Dorothy left the hospital when it was completely dark.

Since she didn't have to go to Bay Residence today, she went straight back to her previous residence.

Just as she had taken a shower and changed into her pajamas, her phone on the table rang.

It was Everett's number.

Hesitant, Dorothy picked up. "Hello, Mr. Lopez!" "Ms. Sanchez, it's me." It was Everett's assistant. "Mr. Lopez is drunk. We're at the Crimson International Club; can you come pick him up?" "What? Just send him back to Bay Residence.” She didn't have a car or the strength to support him, so how could she pick him up? "No can do! I... I... I've been drinking too!" Dorothy frowned. She wanted to suggest the assistant call Everett's true love, but she swallowed her words.

She wasn't sure what kind of misunderstandings or grudges they had between them. If he hadn't called her, it must have been inconvenient.

"Alright, wait for me. I'll be there in half an hour."
