“Why would you want to treat Cheryl Coney to a meal? That won’t be necessary!” Alex Rockefeller quickly rejected Dorothy Assex.
This was the biggest joke he had ever heard. If these women were to meet, they might start fighting with each other. And Alex wouldn’t be right no matter who he sided with.
Dorothy looked at Alex seriously. “It is very much necessary. She has helped our company tremendously. If I don’t express my gratitude, she might talk behind my back again. Call her. Do it right now, ” Dorothy said.
“Dorothy, she really didn’t help. We don’t have to do this,” Alex said and shook his head. In fact, he even wanted to use his ultimate skill of holding Dorothy and kissing her.
However, Dorothy didn’t let him have his way. “Are you going to call her or not? If you don’t even have the courage to call her, then there’s definitely something going on between the two of you. Is that it?” She asked.
“No, absolutely not,” Alex said.
“In that case, call her and put the call on loudspeaker,” Dorothy said.
‘D*mn. She’s doing this again.’ Alex thought.
Since he didn’t have a choice, he finally caved in and called Cheryl Coney.
At the same time, Cheryl was sleeping in her room. Due to a few oddly difficult cases the hospital encountered yesterday, many doctors had been attending meetings. Due to such special circumstances, Cheryl stayed up nearly the entire night and was only able to fall asleep in the morning.
When Alex called her on the phone, she picked it up and mumbled, “Alex Rockefeller, what do you want? I was kept up all night yesterday. Can’t you just let me sleep in peace?” She sounded sleepy.
Suddenly, Alex felt a pain in his back.
When he turned around, he could see Dorothy’s eyes turn red with rage.
Clearly, she had misunderstood something.
However, anyone who heard Cheryl’s voice would easily misunderstand her!
“Cheryl, what are you saying? How were you up all night?” Alex quickly said.
“How? It happened five times consecutively. Sigh, I’m not talking to you anymore. I want to sleep. I can’t even stand up straight. Please have mercy on me and stop keeping me up. You can come to me once I’ve recovered,” Cheryl said.
Beep, beep, beep. She hung up.
Cheryl meant to say that the emergency meetings were held five times consecutively last night.
However, since she was very sleepy, she didn’t explain things clearly. Now, Alex was in deep trouble…
Dorothy’s body was shaking violently, and tears were rolling down her cheeks.
She felt as if her world was turning dark.
“Alex Rockefeller, why? Why did you do this to me?”
“I thought I could see hope. I thought we had already gone through the worst. But I never thought I’d encounter such hopelessness in the end.:
“I’m such a fool! When you told me that you found a solution yesterday, I should have known that you would find her. Only she is capable of doing such a thing. I didn’t know this was the price I had to pay. Five times! How insulting. My husband actually had to sacrifice his body for my company… So what if I got what I wanted for the company?”
When Alex saw Dorothy like this, his heart was in pain. But this… This couldn’t have been further from the truth!
“Dorothy, you have to believe me. I really didn’t do that with Dr. Cheryl… I was home all night yesterday. I don’t know why she said that, perhaps… Perhaps, she just wants to make you upset. Please don’t fall for it.” Alex quickly hugged Dorothy.
“Get away from me. Don’ t touch me, you dirty man,” Dorothy said.
Alex immediately froze.
He immediately called Cheryl on the phone again, and he kept the call on loudspeaker as he did before.
“Alex Rockefeller, are you intentionally keeping me awake? Just you wait. I’m going to make sure you can’t sleep tonight either,” Cheryl said right after picking up the call.
Dorothy’s facial expression turned even darker.
Alex immediately became enraged. It was getting even more complicated. “Dr. Cheryl, please joke within reason. My wife is listening to this conversation. Don’ t say things that are untrue. I didn’t even see you last night. More importantly, I never slept with you. Why did you say I did that to you five times? Do you think I’m superman?” Alex said.
This was the biggest joke he had ever heard. If these women were to meet, they might start fighting with each other. And Alex wouldn’t be right no matter who he sided with.
