NovelEnglishChapter 113
Everett and his crew had to dip out early because they had a video conference after dinner.
Once they were out of the picture, Dorothy holed herself up in her room to get down with the
paperwork.
She decided not to waste her time on things that didn’t make sense. There was no point in trying to
comprehend such matters. This might be her only shot at climbing up the ladder, and since Everett was
giving her a leg up, she was going to bust her ass to make sure she didn’t let him down.
And just like that, hours flew by.
At 1 a.m., just as Dorothy was stretching her sore wrists, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Who could it be at this hour?
She walked over and cautiously peeked through the peephole.
It was Everett!
Dorothy hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door. She was then immediately hit by the
smell of booze on him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore she could say anything, Everett brushed past her and headed for the bathroom.
He was a clean freak who couldn’t stand the smell of alcohol on himself, but he couldn’t avoid the
drinking either.
Dorothy knew what this meant. He wasn’t going anywhere tonight.
But last night he just slept next to her and did nothing, so tonight should be the same, right?
He was extremely tired during the day and had been drinking at night, so he couldn’t possibly have the
energy for anything else.
Dorothy snapped back to reality, smacking herself on the forehead. Her thoughts were starting to get
as dirty as Karen’s,
“Pass me the towel.”
Suddenly, Everett’s voice rang out from the bathroom
Dorothy quickly handed him the towel, keeping her eyes averted.
Feeling the towel being taken from her hand, she was about to leave when he spoke up again.
“Do you still have the stuff we didn’t use last time in your bag?”
“What stuff?” Dorothy asked instinctively.
“I remember we didn’t use it all in Havenbrook.”
Everett spoke so casually and naturally that it felt like they were discussing work and not an
embarrassing topic.
This threw Dorothy off.
“Do you mean the SNS project forms?”
“No. I mean the contraceptives.
Boom!
Dorothy felt like her cheeks had just been placed on a grill.
The atmosphere got super awkward.
After a while, she finally replied stiffly, T… I threw it away.”
“There should be some in the drawers of the nightstand.” With that, he wiped himself down with the
towel and walked out of the bathroom bare chested.
Dorothy only heard the sound of a drawer being opened. Then, in an instant, his strong arms easily
lifted her onto the bed.
For a moment, it felt like the air had solidified.

as his hot hand roamed over her skin.
The reflected light from the ceiling was a bit glaring.
Dorothy gripped his shoulder subconsciously as her voice trembled. “Can we turn off the lights?”
“Sure.”
After bright of burning passion, she was only let go when she was totally spent
15.00
Dorothy had to take back her previous assumptions
Turned out that even after a hard day’s work, the man still had the energy for this kind of thing.
The next day, she was woken up by her phone ringing next to her pillow.
After groggily opening her eyes, Dorothy picked up her phone with her sore hand. She looked and
discovered that it was Mr. Percy calling.
What could he want?
“Hello, Mr. Percy”
“Dorothy, have you leaked any information about the SinoSuccess Enterprises project to anyone?”
Mr. Percy’s voice sounded panicked. It was as if something major had happened.
Dorothy was now wide awake, and she sat up in bed. “No. What’s going on?”
“The core technical blueprint of the SinoSuccess Enterprises project have been leaked, and the CEO of
SinoSuccess Enterprises is on his way to the Prosperity Consortium!”
