Everett didn't respond to the message. He just deleted it, opened the window, flicked his lighter with his slender fingers, and lit a cigarette.

After calming down for a bit, he took a shower and returned to the bedroom, cradling the already-asleep Dorothy in his arms.

It seemed like only at these times could he get a sense of reality.

The next morning, Dorothy was awakened by her alarm clock.

Since she had to go out with Kevin for due diligence today, she had to go to the office early to prepare all the necessary documents.

She thought she'd definitely wake up earlier than Everett, but when she opened her eyes, he was already up and preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

She stretched her body and shuffled over to him in her slippers. "Everett, sometimes I feel like you never need to sleep."

Everett was frying eggs as he turned his handsome face to glance at her and smile. "I'm used to it. I haven't slept more than six hours since graduation."

She used to think that being the one giving orders was the most leisurely job. No one dared to talk back to him in the company, and everyone respected him privately. He had power and influence; he was basically a winner in life.

But after getting to know Everett's private life, she couldn't help but sigh at how difficult his job actually was.

There were so many things he had to consider; every step he took had to be cautious. One wrong move could potentially lead to a huge loss and deal a great blow to his reputation.
