The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 115

At that moment, it all clicked for Dorothy.

She was being played.

Heather was trying to bump her out of the Lopez Corporation. Hell, she was trying to bump her out of the entire investment banking industry!

She raised an eyebrow. "I've told you before. I'm not here to pick a fight."

Dorothy knew her place. But clearly, Heather had no intentions of backing off.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Heather's voice was still pleasing. She even sounded kind of patient, the way an adult would speak to a child. "If there's nothing else, I have work to do."

"You know damn well what I’m talking about! You're targeting me because of Everett Lopez, aren't you? You're trying to frame me!" Dorothy had no interest in playing along. She decided to lay her cards on the table.

"Because of Mr. Lopez? Ms. Sanchez, I suggest you think before you speak."

With that, she hung up.

Dorothy tried to call back, but she hesitated and didn't press the call button.

Heather was basically declaring war on her.

Looking back, she had been scheming since their business trip to Havenbrook. There was no way Dorothy would get any useful information now.

She had never been in a situation like this before. One wrong move could ruin her entire career. Forget about being credited for the new research project.

The Lopez Corporation would surely fire her to save dignity. With such a stain on her record, no other company would hire her.

Her phone rang again. It was Karen.

"Dorothy, what's the deal with the SinoSuccess Enterprises project? Mr. Percy is throwing a fit; he even smashed the office glass! Isn't this your responsibility? Are you in trouble?"

Dorothy's hands were shaking, and her voice went hollow. "I've been set up."

"By who?"

"Heather. She asked for the core technical blueprint and used tech to erase our text conversation. I can't find any record of it."
