On the way back, Dorothy rested her head against the car window, silent the entire ride.
Everett, with one hand holding hers, spoke gently. "What's wrong? Still feeling down? I can stand up for you again, make sure you're satisfied."
Dorothy snapped back to reality, offering a wry smile. "No, it's not about that person. They can't affect my mood! It's just... I've been reflecting."
"On what?"
"Think about it. Since I started working, how many times have I faced workplace harassment? I'm lucky, having you always there to support me. But what about the other women? Those who might have to suffer in silence for the sake of their performance reviews, or just to make ends meet?"
Those scumbags, they prey on this vulnerability, don't they?
Dorothy shuddered to think of the absurdities these women might face in private, even hearing stories of some being drugged, photographed, and then blackmailed, their lives ruined.
What did they do to deserve this?
We're all just trying to do our jobs, aim for better projects, and earn a higher salary. Why should harassment be part of the equation?
"That's why at Lopez Corporation, we have a policy. No female staff member is to meet with clients alone, not even in emergencies."
That was a rule Everett had established early on.
And for the men at Lopez Corporation, any misconduct would lead to immediate termination and a permanent ban from reemployment.
No matter their position or talent, even if they were key players, the rule was unbending.
Thanks to this iron-clad policy, there hadn't been a single case of dismissal for such reasons within Lopez Corporation.

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....
