Chapter 384


    Chapter 384


    Dorothy was startled and seemed to sober up a bit


    She was too busy being upset that she forgot she was in Eldoria City, a ce where she was bound to


    run into people she knew.


    Tm here on some business and will be leaving tomorrow,”


    Lane raised his voice, “My concern isn’t when you’re leaving but who’s the guy you checked into the


    hotel with?”


    His tone was reminiscent of a husband catching his wife in an act of infidelity


    Furrowing her eyebrows, Dorothy didn’t owe him an exnation and she didn’t have the time for this


    either. Hence, she said, ‘Thad too much to drink, a friend’s brother was just escorting me back to the


    hotel.”


    “Really?”


    “Why would I lie to you, you’re my boss, and I’m on vacation.”


    Dorothy’s response muted Lane, I’m just concerned about you! Don’t trouble your friend’s brother


    anymore. I have a friend in Eldenria City: here to take care of you. It’s more convenient, she’s a


    girl.”


    “No need.”


    Dorothy’s refusal was too blunt, leaving Lane feeling slighted


    But Dorothy wasn’t in the mood to care about that at the moment.


    “Dorothy, I’m just trying to look out for you! Besides, you said you’re not ready to think about


    rtionships right now, and I haven’t pressured you. But you turn around and check into a hotel with


    another man, Don’t even have the right to ask?”


    He thought he was unique for Dorothy


    After all, he made many efforts to pursue her


    Wasn’t she moved at all?


    “I have exined what you asked. Any other thing is my personal business, Lane, don’t cross the line.”

    After that, Dorothy felt a pang in her heart.


    She was telling others not to cross the line, but what about her?


    She was no better, unable to control herself


    “Fine, I won’t cross the line. Pretend I never called” Lane hung up abruptly, probably upset.


    But Dorothy didn’t bother to worry about his feelings now.


    She was stil dealing with her heartache.


    Soon, Keh returned, not only with more liquor, but also with a hangover remedy and a light nket.


    “It’s chilly in the wee hours, cover up.”


    “Thank you.”


    “Dorothy, from now on, just consider me your brother like Karen does. No need to think about anything


    else. We’re family”


    Dorothy looked up at him and gave a slight nod.


    When she had been crying earlier, Keh had a sudden realization


    Rather than having a romantic rtionship with all its ups and downs, it would be better to have a


    familial rtionship.


    He could be by her side for a long time. At least when she was feeling down, she could think of him.


    Jeffrey called Everett as soon as he saw Dorothy. But there was no answer, so he told Lane.


    It wasn’t until he arrived at the Lopez Building the next morning that he received a callback from


    Everett.


    “What were you up to? I made so many calls, and you’re only seeing them now?”


    “I got drunk.”


    Jeffreyughed. “You’re not so tough either! When I got home, I threw up a lot, sobered up, then went


    out again when a girl invited me.”


    Everett, who had just woken up, had a slightly horse voice.


    “Haven’t had a drink in a while, I have dropped my drinking capacity.”


    “I can see that! Hey, guess who I saw when I went out in the middle of the night?”


    “Just tell me.” Everett wasn’t a fan of guessing games


    “I saw Dorothy! She and Keh went into a hotel together I saw it with my eyes, they were very closel
