Chapter 113

Everett and his crew had to dip out early because they had a video conference after dinner.

Once they were out of the picture, Dorothy holed herself up in her room to get down with the paperwork.

She decided not to waste her time on things that didn’t make sense. There was no point in trying to comprehend such matters. This might be her only shot at climbing up the ladder, and since Everett was giving her a leg up, she was going to bust her ass to make sure she didn’t let him down.

And just like that, hours flew by.

At 1 a.m., just as Dorothy was stretching her sore wrists, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Who could it be at this hour?

She walked over and cautiously peeked through the peephole.

It was Everett!

Dorothy hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door. She was then immediately hit by the smell of booze on him.

Before she could say anything, Everett brushed past her and headed for the bathroom.

He was a clean freak who couldn’t stand the smell of alcohol on himself, but he couldn’t avoid the drinking either.

Dorothy knew what this meant. He wasn’t going anywhere tonight.

But last night he just slept next to her and did nothing, so tonight should be the same, right?
