Dorothy barely noticed the flash of Everett’s phone screen, giving it a subconscious glance but not really paying attention.
As a CEO, his days were typically swamped, and people constantly sought him out.
Lately, she couldn't help but think that Everett must have been putting off a lot of work because of her.
The thought made her heart heavy, as if something was squeezing her throat, making it hard to breathe.
If she were gone, then Everett wouldn't have to waste his time on her anymore...
Everything could just end.
"Dorothy? Dorothy!"
Karen's voice sharply pulled her back to reality.
Dorothy's body jerked, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"What's up?" she tried to sound as normal as possible.
Karen pointed at Dorothy’s purse. "Your phone's been ringing. Didn't you hear it?"
Indeed, she hadn't noticed at all.
Pulling out her phone, she saw it was a call from Dr. Quincy.
Why would she suddenly reach out to her?
Worried Karen might overhear something and get the wrong idea, Dorothy stood up to take the call a little away.
"Hello, Dr. Quincy."
"I've been trying to reach you! I've been calling Mr. Lopez, no answer, and you weren't picking up either," Quincy's voice, even in a rush, was still gentle and soothing, like clear, calming waters, "Did Mr. Lopez see the rehab instructions I sent him?"
Dorothy paused for a moment.
Thinking back to earlier, when Everett's phone screen lit up repeatedly, was it Quincy messaging him?
"I'm not sure, you should wait for his reply," Dorothy couldn't confirm whether Everett saw the messages or not.
Maybe she was overthinking it.
If it was...
The next second, Everett suddenly looked up, their eyes meeting.
Dorothy blinked, feeling the embarrassment of being caught.
But Everett didn't seem upset; instead, he slid his phone across the table to her. "She sent me some post-surgery rehab tips and methods."
Everything on there was about his injury.
Not a single word gave away any other clues or hints. It was just a doctor's advice to her patient.
[Use warm compresses to improve blood circulation, start massaging gently with your other hand, increasing pressure gradually. It'll hurt, but you need to endure and overcome it.]
[During recovery, it's normal to occasionally feel numbness in the area where the tendon is healing due to nerve damage. It shouldn't last too long, but if it persists for more than two days, contact me.]
Everett's response was succinct.
Just one word.
[Okay.]

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
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....
