Dorothy was just there for a job interview, not officially starting her work, so stumbling upon Perdita at this hour caught her off-guard.
Even more surprising was seeing Perdita chatting up Everett.
Everett, as usual, had his stoic, handsome face on, which only softened upon laying eyes on Dorothy.
“Ms. Sanchez!” Following his gaze, Perdita also caught sight of Dorothy. Her face, however, didn’t betray any awkwardness, but was all smiles, “Just off work?”
“Yeah.” Dorothy approached Everett, who reached out to take her hand without hesitation.
Perdita glanced curiously at their intertwined hands, momentarily taken aback.
“Mr. Lopez is… Ms. Sanchez’s boyfriend?”
Dorothy wasn’t surprised by her astonishment.
Given Perdita had just returned from abroad, it made sense she was out of the loop about their relationship.
“Yep,” Dorothy confirmed with a nod, seeing no reason to hide it.
“Oh my! I’ve always admired Mr. Lopez’s work back when I was in the UK. To think I’d end up working for his girlfriend’s company, what a surprise!” Perdita’s excitement was palpable, revealing her youthful spirit despite her professional setting.
As the two women chatted, Everett stood by, listening, his expression unchanging, his focus solely on Dorothy.
After a brief conversation, Perdita excused herself, “I won’t keep you two from heading home, Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez. See you tomorrow!”
“Sure.”
Once Perdita left, Dorothy looked up at Everett, her eyes gleaming with amusement.
“You sure have a knack for attracting admirers wherever you go.”
Everett had no interest in so-called admirers, “She’s your new hire?”

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
