Since Emmett went along with it, Natalia had no choice but to follow.
"Alright! That's the spirit! Gabriel, pour them another round!" Hayden gave Gabriel a knowing look, and he instantly picked up on it.
Dorothy was already feeling the effects of the alcohol, and she didn't want Natalia, a young woman, to get drunk too. "Emmett, Lane just called me and said he needs a file. Go with Natalia to the hotel and send it to him."
"Ms. Sanchez, I..."
"Just go!" Dorothy gave him a look, signaling for him to take Natalia away first.
Emmett had no choice but to comply. "Alright."
Dorothy wasn't completely disregarding her own safety. She was planning to have Emmett come back for her later, but for now, she needed to get Natalia out of there.
She had just been discharged from the hospital, so she couldn't afford to end up there again just because of alcohol.
Once the two of them left, the frequency at which Gabriel and Hayden poured Dorothy more drinks increased. It seemed as if the moment she finished one glass, the next was already filled to the brim.
Dorothy knew she couldn't drink any more. She waved her hand and was somewhat unsteady as she stood up. "I need to use the restroom."
"Let me help you!" Hayden said, already standing up.
"No need; I can manage." At this point, even if it took all her remaining sobriety, Dorothy had to pretend she wasn't drunk.
She planned to call Emmett from the restroom, but the moment she stepped inside, her vision started to blur.
Her phone rang at that exact moment. Dorothy took it out to answer, but she couldn't even make out the words on the screen.
"Hello..."
"Where are you, Dorothy?"

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....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
