Despite her reservations, Dorothy couldn't bring herself to bite again after tasting blood. She was left struggling, not having the heart to bite again.
It wasn't until Kenneth strode over from across the way and punched Everett's shoulder that the two were finally separated! Everett staggered back a few steps, while Kenneth, his face flushed with rage, was ready to punch him again, completely devoid of reason! Seeing this, Dorothy quickly intervened.
"Kenneth, stop! Don't hit him!" Kenneth managed to halt his fist in time, looking up at Dorothy.
Her lips were flushed red after the kiss, with faint traces of blood still visible, evidence of Everett's intense passion! It was clear that this had been a show for Kenneth.
"Dorothy, he's bullying you!" "No, that's not it! Kenneth, please go back to the car. I'll come to you in a bit!" Dorothy certainly didn't want the two men to come to blows! After all, Kenneth was no match for Everett. Whether it was physical strength or social standing.
"Dorothy!" Kenneth, frustrated, glanced towards Everett who was not too far away.
Everett, his long fingers wiping the blood from his lips, locked eyes with him, his gaze defiant and triumphant, like a victor assured of his win! "Kenneth, let me handle this, okay? We've got our appointment with Byte 7 today. We can't miss out on important stuff! We'll talk about this later!" Dorothy dreaded the thought of their meeting being delayed because of this confrontation, and she feared that Everett might harm Kenneth.
After all, this was in front of the Lopez Building in Eldorria City, Everett's domain.
Kenneth was grinding his teeth in anger, but ultimately, he could do nothing but turn around and storm back to his car.
However, he didn't leave; the car remained parked there.
Once she confirmed Kenneth was gone, Dorothy turned back to Everett, frowning in disapproval.
"What are you trying to do? This is harassment!" "Why don’t you call the cops then, have me arrested.” Everett's lips, broken by Dorothy's bite, continued to bleed, and with a cocky tilt of his mouth, matched with a neatly tailored suit, he looked every part of the unhinged CEO.
Dorothy was speechless; even now, he was still smiling! "You really think I won't?" "Yeah, you won't." Everett's tone was certain, his eyes never leaving her face.
Faced with Everett's shamelessness, Dorothy felt both unfamiliar and helpless. In the end, she could only resort to her last-ditch threats, which had worked earlier in the day to free herself. "Mr. Lopez, don’t tell me you think this will make me worry about you.
I urged Kenneth to leave because I was afraid you'd hurt him, not because..." "If you didn’t care, why didn’t you let Kenneth continue?" Everett cut her off and started closing the distance with long strides, cornering her. "Dorothy, you couldn't even bring yourself to bite me a second time!" Her deepest feelings were exposed, and her face stiffened.
"LLL" "Dorothy." Everett closed the gap quickly, backing Dorothy into a tight corner, forcing her to look at him. "Tell me what really happened back then. I want to know the truth.” Dorothy didn't want to look at him, because in front of Everett, it seemed all her emotions were impossible to hide! But Everett lifted his hand, holding her chin firmly, refusing to let her look away.
"Dorothy, tell me, whatever it is, we'll face it together.” He had said those words before.
