"Karen, it's urgent. Super urgent! Can you somehow get Mr. Lopez's phone number?"
Dorothy had deleted Everett's contact. She even left the online group they shared, so the only person she could turn to now was Karen.
The voice on the other side was clearly still groggy from sleep. "Who?!"
"Everett."
"If you're sleepwalking, go back to sleep."
"I don't have time to explain. It's really urgent!"
The project partner's supervisor had signed the contract and left the country. She couldn't possibly ask him to return just to sign another contract with her.
Karen sensed her seriousness, sat up in bed, and said, "I can't get his number, but you can go find him in his room, right?"
Right!
Dorothy quickly hung up the phone, threw on a random piece of clothing, and ran towards the hotel's presidential suite.
However, when she got to that floor, she was stopped right out of the elevator by the CEO's secretary.
"Hello, I need to see Mr. Lopez."
The secretary looked her up and down and asked sternly, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No."
The secretary was straightforward. "Then please leave."
"Can't you bend the rules a bit? Just pass a message for me. Tell him Dorothy urgently needs to see him; he'll definitely want to see me."
But the secretary completely ignored her plea.
Just as Dorothy was feeling defeated, a deep voice came from the suite.
"I said marry me." Everett moved closer as his eyes locked onto her stunned face. "Think about it."
He said it casually, as if he were talking about the weather, but to Dorothy's ears, it was like she was hallucinating.
It took her a while to respond. "Mr. Lopez, you don't need to test me."
Dorothy wasn't stupid. If Everett needed a wife, there would be a line of women willing to do it. It certainly shouldn't be her.
So this had to be a test to see if she had ambitious intentions of wanting to climb the social ladder.
Everett ignored her and went on. “Your mother is in the hospital, right? I can help her find the best doctor, including covering all her expenses. If you agree, we can go register tomorrow."
He was very serious, and, from the expression on his handsome face, he didn't seem like he was joking.
"Why?"
"I told you, I need a wife. As for why it's you…" Everett paused. "I think you're the most suitable."

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....
