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.

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.

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?"
