"Can you believe it? Right after Perdita was whisked away, the new assistant swooped in to fill her shoes!" Nyssa said, her voice laced with disbelief. "You didn't know?"
"..."
Truth be told, she was in the dark.
Returning to her office, Dorothy was about to dial HR to get the lowdown when her fingers, already poised over her phone, hesitated and dialed a different number instead.
After a couple of rings, the call connected.
"Yeah? What's up?"
"That tone—do you even need to ask?" Dorothy could almost picture the wry smile in his voice, confirming her suspicions. "Why didn't you tell me about the assistant situation?"
Everett chuckled deeply from the other end, "And if I had, would you have let me assign someone? Come on, you're pregnant. I didn't take over your job as the boss outright, consider that a favor."
Dorothy couldn't help but laugh, exasperated.
"I thought we had an agreement not to meddle in each other's work?"
"But you also said, as long as I agreed to have another child, I get to call the shots," Everett's voice teased, growing playful. "What, reneging on your word now? Having a change of heart because the baby's not here yet?"
Dorothy chuckled nervously, "No, no, of course not."
"Good." His voice softened a bit. "And about the new assistant I assigned to you, he's quite capable. Anything you're struggling with, feel free to consult him!"
Frowning slightly, she replied, "Got it."
Ending the call, Dorothy stood and made her way to the assistant's office.
Inside, the new assistant was efficiently sifting through documents and compiling reports, having even completed a financial comparison chart sent over by a project company!

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
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....
