Dorothea didn’t send any angry texts. She just woke up the next morning, skipped breakfast, and drove straight to work.
Latham came home in the middle of the night, long after she’d fallen asleep. When he got up early, the apartment was already empty.
Linda muttered as she cleared the table, “Latham, you come home late and leave early. Of course Dorothea’s upset. Ladd is still waiting to hold a grandchild next year, and you two are still sleeping in separate rooms...”
Latham put down his spoon and wiped his mouth. “I’m done. I’m heading to the office.”
Linda sighed, then started updating Ladd on every little thing.
Sitting in his car, Latham called Wade, his expression tight. He didn’t even get a chance to start scolding before Wade blurted out, “Don’t rush me, Latham, I’m already driving to your wife’s company to apologize.”
Latham clenched his jaw. “Drive faster.”
Dorothea had barely arrived at the office when Lenard called her over to the sales department.
When she walked into the meeting room, she saw Wade waiting for her.
Wade gave a polite smile. “Dorothea, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Lenard’s face was all smiles as he introduced them. “This is Wade Gates, the general manager of The Gates Group.”
Dorothea didn’t really get what was going on, but she nodded politely. “Mr. Gates.”
“Dorothea, Mr. Gates is starting an entertainment project in Polaris. Our hotel in Polaris just opened last month. He’s really taken with our brand and wants to use our hotel for his team!” Lenard could hardly contain his excitement.
Booking an executive suite for one manager was already a hundred thousand a year, even at corporate rates. Three years would be three hundred thousand. And Wade was planning to house at least fifty people from his management team at their hotel.
Lenard was almost giddy just thinking about it.
