Chapter 43
Before Dorothy could mact, Karen behind her had already blurted out a deafening question.
Everett’s sudden appearance here was as unbelievable as hitting the lottery jackpot
Without even turning her head, she could imagine Karen’s expression right now.
A helty interrogation from her was inevitable, so Dorothy quickly put on a very professional office smile and briskly walked to the cat “Mr. Lopez, is there something work–related you need?”
Everett gave a cold glance to the person behind her without exposing anything further. “Get in the car
“Alright”
Dorothy quickly nodded, then turned to Karen and waved. I’ve got something to take care of. I’ve gotta bounce. We’ll catch up nex
Taking advantage of the situation before it could escalate, she quickly hopped in the car
Throughout the ride, both of them remained silent. The atmosphere in the car was somewhat weird. But when it came to figuring out why, Dorothy had no clue
Could it be because he didn’t sleep well last night?
As they were about to reach the supermarket, Dorothy broke the silence. I haven’t done my grocery shopping yet. Could you pull over?” Everett kept his lips tightly sealed, but he did drive into the underground parking lot of the supermarket.

But Everett’s face turned darker and darker.
“You seem to know a lot.”
Just as Dorothy was about to speak, he got out of the car first
Although she was not good at guessing other people’s thoughts, she could see that Everett was angry. It felt like a husband suddenly catching his wife in some improper behavior
Of course, if Everett didn’t say anything, Dorothy wouldn’t ask. She knew her place well
Back at Bay Residence after grocery shopping, she cooked, and he worked, as if everything were normal.
Except that night, Everett was exceptionally restless
The weekend flew by and finally, it was Dorothy’s fast day at the head office.
Early in the morning, she made sure to freshen up, put on her professional attire, and double check everything she needed to bring “Let’s go.” At the entrance, Everett was already suited and booted. He was always impeccable, even at home. His every move exuded elegance and refinement.
She’was holding her laptop bag, stunned. “I can take the subway.”
of people gaw her getting out of the CEO’s car, it would cause quite a stir.
“My car parks directly in a private spot. No one will see.”
“There’s no need, I should get familiar with the subway route.”
“I don’t want to repeat myself.”
His tone was getting even more commanding
