Chapter 805


    Dorothy was utterly befuddled.


    Did that mean...


    "The flowers weren''t from Everett?"


    "Of course not! You told Mr. Lopez not to send any!"


    Dorothy furrowed her perfectly arched brows, her gaze falling upon therge bouquet of roses,


    "Wait, I don''t get it. Why would Everett cancel his hospital appointment for the shots?"


    Was there a connection between the two?


    It couldn''t possibly be that Everett was trying to gain her sympathy by ying the sick card, could it?


    No, that didn''t make sense. If that were his intention, he wouldn''t have kept his illness a secret from


    her from day one.


    "Because he''s cramming all his work into his schedule, even using the time for his shots for


    meetings!"


    Dorothy was more befuddled. Was he trying to upy his mind with work?


    Seeing her confusion, Kevin spelled it out, "You still don''t get it? Mr. Lopez is trying to cut short his


    business trip in Liberty City. He’s eager to get back home!"


    Only when Dorothy heard this did she find the situation somewhat ludicrous.


    "Kevin, aren''t you reading too much into this?"


    Whether Everett returned home sooner orter, it had nothing to do with her.


    "Then why do you think Mr. Lopez is in such a rush?"


    "How should I know?"


    Kevin sighed on the other end, "Forget it, this is too hard to exin! Just persuade Mr. Lopez to get


    his shots on time. It''s only two more days, anyway. We don''t want him getting worse once he''s back


    in the country!"


    "I''ll talk to him."


    After hanging up, Dorothy shot Everett a message on WhatsApp.


    [You''re skipping your shots again.]


    When he didn''t reply, she assumed Everett was just busy.


    ncing down at the bouquet at her feet, the roses suddenly lost their charm. As she wondered


    who could have sent them, her phone rang.


    Assuming it was Everett, she answered without looking at the caller ID.


    "Everett, can''t you take better care of yourself?"


    "Dorothy, it''s me."


    "Uh. Keh?" Only then did Dorothy nce at the screen; indeed, it was Keh Nelson on the


    line.


    "Yeah." But Keh, as if he hadn''t heard her previous remark, chuckled softly, "Did you get the


    flowers I sent you?"


    She paused, "You sent them?"


    "Yes! I saw the photo Karen shared on the Lopez Corporation forum yesterday, you looked so lovely


    holding that bouquet. I wanted to give you one too. I hope you like them."


    "...Yes, I do."


    "That''s great! Anytime you want something, just let me know. Just… don''t ept flowers from


    anyone else, okay?"


    It dawned on Dorothy just then how easily her stroll through the office with a bouquet had led to


    misunderstandings.


    Everett must have thought she was epting another man''s advances. Now Keh thought the


    same.


    She instinctively wanted to rify, but the words were swallowed back at thest second. It would


    be the best chance to let Keh give up on her.


    "I can''t stay single forever, Keh. If I meet the right person, I still n to settle down."


    "You''ve found someone else?"


    "It''s not that I''m in love, just thinking of getting to know him better! We''re at the samepany,


    bumping into each other all the time, so it''s easy to develop feelings. Plus, he''s been really caring, a


    good guy, and very understanding of me." As Dorothy spoke, her mind was filled with inescapable


    thoughts of Everett.


    Keh seemed to fall silent, as if cut loose.

    Until Dorothy nudged him, "Keh? Anything else, or can I go?"


    "Wait! Dorothy, without Everett... you are still passing me off?"
