StarNovelLane actually cooked breakfast himself, which was a surprise for Dorothy.
But she wouldn't exactly say she was touched.
"You don't have to compare yourself to Everett." No one could compete with Everett in her heart.
"Of course, | can't compare with him. In terms of family background and social status, | am far behind. But the only difference between me and him is that my parents won't stop me from marrying anyone." Lane shrugged and looked at her. "For them, they'd be happy as long as | bring home a bride; even a groom would do." Dorothy didn't believe this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheir wealthy families were very exclusive.
Cinderella stories only existed in fairy tales. In reality, who didn't want their children to have an equal match? "Lane, I'm definitely not your best choice. Don't waste your time on me." Lane suddenly became assertive, and his gaze fell on the breakfast in her hand.
"I know whether I'm wasting my time or not. | understand your situation. You just need to see what | can do for you." Dorothy fell silent.
"Be careful on your trip. If someone bullies you, call me. | won't let anyone of them live in peace.” Lane smiled and then got in his car and drove away.
Dorothy was stunned for a moment as she looked down at the breakfast in her hand, which was still warm. She couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Lane had no chance of winning against Everett. But the problem wasn't that she was comparing him with Everett; it was that she didn't want to accept anyone at all.
Around ten o'clock, Dorothy packed up her belongings and drove to the airport.
She had slept well last night, so she was in good spirits today. Once on the plane, she could even catch up on some reading.
At the airport, Dorothy went to get her boarding pass, only to find that she was in first class.
She looked down at her phone and discovered that Lane had sent her a message. [Don't work too hard. First class is on the company.] He even added a smiley face.

If Lane was pursuing a young girl who just started working and didn't understand anything, she would have been deeply in love with him by now, right? After all, he was quite wealthy, handsome, considerate, and had a good eye for things. His status, looks, and temperament were beyond reproach. Although, compared to Everett, he was a bit lacking.
Dorothy chuckled and replied. [Okay. I'm grateful for the company's consideration.] [You should thank me instead.] Lane sent her a pouting face. [Did you enjoy your breakfast? It's the first time I've cooked in my life. Before | gave it to you, | tasted it. It's edible. | don't think it's poisonous.] [It was good, but don't do it again.] Dorothy didn’t want to take Lane's sincerity for granted. It wouldn't be nice to throw away the meal he had painstakingly made, so she really ate it.
As for the taste, it was far from Everett's cooking.
[You're clearly telling me it's not good. No problem; during your trip, I'll work on my cooking skills. I'll definitely impress you.] Dorothy was helpless, but she also found it a bit funny.
Lane, being a businessman, must be complex-minded; otherwise, how could he do business and oversee such a large company? But his calculations didn't make people feel uncomfortable.
If he were a friend, it would be great. She learned a lot from him about how to deal with people. But when it came to taking things a step further, she really didn't want to.
It wasn't that Lane was not a good man; she was just afraid.
