"Can't help it, work's been crazy busy."
"I was strapped for cash at the time, and swamped with stuff."
Somehow, being buried in work every day made me feel more grounded than ever.
"So, what's next on the agenda?"
Everett had cleared his schedule for the day, ready to go with the flow.
"How about a movie? Isn't that part of the classic date playbook?"
"We're not at work, no need for a 'playbook'," Everett said with a slight frown, then turned to check which floor the cinema was on.
We decided on a romance movie, but it wouldn't start for another hour.
I grabbed us some popcorn and pulled Everett to sit on a bench near the cinema entrance.
"No wonder dating is a hit with the youngsters; it does feel pretty awesome."
"If you like it, I'll make time at least once a week just for you."
At that, Dorothy immediately waved her hands, "No way! The Lopez Corporation has too much on its plate, and when my own venture takes off, I'll be swamped too! Let's just savor these moments instead."
"I can always make time."
Spending time with Dorothy was something he was willing to carve out time for, no matter what.
"You know as well as I do that making time means you'd have to burn the midnight oil or... Kevin ends up bearing the brunt of it! Spare him, will you? He's got enough on his plate."
"Yeah, Kevin does work hard."
Just then, Dorothy's eyes lit up at the sight of a vendor selling candy apples, "I want one of those! I see strawberries!"
"I'll go get it." Everett stood up immediately and headed over.
Dorothy didn't follow. Instead, she took out her phone to snap a picture of him buying the candy apples.
Gotta keep a memento from our date, right?
Before she could put her phone away, she heard someone calling her, "Sis?"
Dorothy looked up—
The two girls seemed familiar.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
