Chapter 32
When Everct; emerged from his room again, he’d changed into a casual white cutfit. The change took years off him, and he now looked like a college kid, ready to hit the court with his basketball.
Dorothy was still trying to figure out how to ditch him. To be seen in public with Exerell was too conspicuous. What if they were snapped by paparazzi
“Let’s go.”
“Mr. Lopez, do you think there might be media arcund or people from our company? Don’t you think it might not look so good if they see us?” She hinted delicatel
However, Everett didn’t seem to care. What’s the big deal?
Dorothy fell silent
Well if he said so, all Dorothy could do was go with it
The supermarket wasn’t crowded and had good security. Everyone was busy shopping, and hardly anyone was rubbernecking. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Even so, Dority deliberately kept some distance from Everett and headed straight to the pork chop section, urging the butcher to hurry up with the weighing.
Finally, with the pork chops in hand, she turned around, ready to tell Everett they could leave, only to find a new face by his side. Heather
This was the second time she’d seen her.
Even off work, Heather was dressed in a Chanel cardigan over a couture dress, looking graceful and charming as the chatted with Everett
The two of them did look like quite a pair
Dorothy glanced at herself. She was holding a bag of pork chops and dressed in a white see and jeans, feeling utterly shabby in companson,
Suddenly she noticed Everett’s gaze sweeping acund. He was probably looking for her.
Instinctively she quickly ducked behind a nearby shelf
Why was she hiding?
just didn’t want Heather to see her
But as if the universe were playing a joke on her, the moment she looked up, Heather was right in front of her.
“I remember you You’re Dorothy, right?”
“Uh, yeah She managed to force a smile on her face, trying to hide her discomfort.
Heather pointed behind her and smiled. “Everett was looking for you just now. He’s ever by the household goods now Better go catch up with him”
Busted. Dorothy could only nod and mumble an okay
Just as she was about to leave, Heather suddenly called her back. “Please take care of him for me, will you? I know about your arrangement with him, and I know he’s doing this to get at me. But I can’t help
it in a low more years, hell understand why I did what I did.” Heather stepped closer, eamestly grasping he hand Please, for now, love him for me.”
Dorothy had no idea what was going on between Heather and Everett, but it sounded lise Heather had her reasons.
And from what Heather was saying, she seemed sure that Dorothy’s relationship with Everett wouldn’t last
“Ms. Heather about me and Mr. Lopez, it’s a contract between us. I’m just fulfilling my obligation. The contract doesn’t include loving him for you
Perhaps she didn’t expect the girl whoid been avoiding her to fee back so directly Heather frowned slightly. “Are you saying you’ve fallen for Everett?”
“No. Don’t get the wrong idea, Ms. Heather Dorothy replied promptly I am me, and you are you. There’s no replacing anyone” “Have you ever looked in the mirror?”
