"So I can't, but Kenneth can?" Everett furrowed his brow, his eyes not missing a beat of her emotional fluctuations.
She mused for a few seconds but didn't answer the question. Instead, she countered, "My mom insisted on me bringing a boyfriend to see her this time, or she wouldn't have surgery. I brought Kenneth, thinking I could fool her, but she suddenly demanded that Kenneth's parents come to the hospital immediately! If I had brought you instead, could your parents have come?"
The answer was a big no of course.
Both of them were well aware.
After all, everybody knew his highfalutin status!
"So, can you understand?" Dorothy asked carefully.
But Everett didn't say another word.
He buttoned up his shirt before she could apply the medicine, and left the room straight away.
Dorothy could only sigh as she watched his retreating figure.
She hoped that Everett could keep his possessiveness over Heather in the future! She also wished he could realize that she was not Heather but just a low-status stand-in.
...
Everett never came back after he left. Dorothy washed her face and sat back down at her desk to work.
Around six in the evening, Kevin came knocking.
"Give me the parts you've checked and you've got three days for the rest! Since you don't need to leave the hotel, try to do as much as you can. I'll mention your contributions to Mr. Lopez when the time comes."
Dorothy gave him a thumbs up, but there was something she didn't understand.
"Kevin, why did you bring me to Lumina Bay if you guys don't need me to tag along for meetings or due diligence?"
After Kevin left, Dorothy returned to her room, feeling a little empty inside.
She couldn't quite put her finger on why.
She picked up her phone, thought for a while, and sent a message to Karen.
[Do you think the stronger a man's possessiveness, the more he loves the woman?]
Everett was even getting jealous over her as Heather's stand-in.
Karen replied almost instantly.
[Of course! Isn't that obvious? The two are directly proportional! He must be crazy in love!]

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....
