FreeNovelDorothy 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 the large 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 playing 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.

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 hsooner or later, 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 explain! 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.
Glancing 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. Sear*ch the (Find) website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"Everett, can't you take better care of yourself?" "Dorothy, it's me." "Uh. Kenneth?" Only then did Dorothy glance at the screen; indeed, it was Kenneth Nelson on the line.
"Yeah." But Kenneth, 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, do." "That's great! Anytyou want something, just letknow. Just... don't accept 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverett must have thought she was accepting another man's advances. Now Kenneth thought the same.
She instinctively wanted to clarify, but the words were swallowed back at the last second. It would be the best chance to let Kenneth give up on her.
"I can't stay single forever, Kenneth. If I meet the right person, I still plan 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 scompany, 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.
Kenneth seemed to fall silent, as if cut loose. The content is of E.com!
Until Dorothy nudged him, "Kenneth? Anything else, or can I go?" "Waith can! Dorothy, without Everett... you are still passingoff?" X
