In the wee hours, Dorothy woke up. The man beside her was still deep in sleep, his strong arm wrapped around her completely. His steady breathing tickled her neck.
Her last bit of drunkenness had completely faded away due to the aching and numbness between her legs, and so had her reason.
What the hell had she done?
She had actually slept with her boss?!
Dorothy's breath hitched. She carefully extricated herself from his arms and hurriedly got out of bed, dressed up, packed her stuff, and bolted from room 1501, heading for the hotel reception to book another room.
It was when she was paying with her phone that she realized that it wasn't Karen's contact she had asked for last night.
That was clearly Everett's contact.
Years ago, at a junior high school reunion, the class monitor created a WhatsApp group, and everyone added each other as friends.
Dorothy clearly remembered that it was Everett who had added her first, but he never said anything after that, so she just renamed him.
And now this had happened.
She sat in her newly booked room for a while to calm down. Then she took out her phone, left the junior high school group, changed her online name from Dorothy to Lily, and replaced her profile picture with a photo of a girl she found online.
That way, he wouldn't know who she was.
After all, room 1501 was booked by the company, and nothing could be traced.
After all the maneuvering, she finally pulled up the quilt and went to sleep.
The alarm rang early the next morning. Today, Dorothy had to accompany her manager, Percy, to Harmony Ventures to discuss the issue of additional funding.
"Mr. Lopez is so handsome. I’d be okay with dying right after spending a night with him." Karen, oblivious to Dorothy's stiffness, muttered, "Hey, Dorothy, what are you thinking?"
Karen nudged her, and Dorothy snapped back to reality and took a step back, trying to avoid Everett.
But just as he and his secretary were about to leave, they suddenly stopped not far from them.
He glanced down from under his heavy eyelids, then whispered to his secretary, "Find out who stayed in room 1501 last night."
When Dorothy heard those numbers, she felt like her legs were tied down with lead, unable to move.
Her mind buzzed, and all she could hear was Karen's excited voice cutting in.
"Room 1501? Mr. Lopez, Dorothy stayed in room 1501 last night."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
