After closing the chat, Dorothy took a deep breath and subconsciously glanced outside the hospital.
Her mother, Bella, had spent the majority of her life in hospitals. Perhaps on such nights, she too watched the constant flow of patients and doctors in the hallway as her mind filled with unknown thoughts.
Her mother’s death was the biggest regret of her life.
She regretted not listening to her mother's advice to stay away from the Lopez family, which had eventually brought trouble upon herself.
No matter how good Everett had been to her, no matter how much she loved him, if it meant trading her mother's life, she didn't want it.
Dorothy wanted to live a normal life. She wanted to go to work every day, visit her mother in the hospital in her spare time, and throw herself into her career.
After a while, she came back to reality.
There were unread messages on her computer.
Dorothy opened them and saw that they were from Lane.
Most likely, Austin had told Lane everything she had told him, including work and personal matters.
[As your boss, I order you to take a proper rest in the hospital. No overtime!]
Lane even added an angry emoji at the end.
Dorothy wanted to repeat what she had just told Austin, but before she could finish typing, he sent another message.
[I know you're worried about the project. The company has hired more legal counsel. The investors take our project very seriously, so they've decided to send their senior lawyer to assist us. You can rest easy now.]
The investors' lawyer was coming?
Dorothy quickly asked. [Is it someone from the Lopez Corporation headquarters?]
[I'm not sure where exactly they're sent from, but judging by their current attitude, anyone they send will certainly be highly competent. You don't need to worry about this. Also, I'll let you know in advance, I've secured your year-end bonus. If the company gives you less, I will make up the difference.]
If a greenhorn in the workforce saw this message, they would certainly be overjoyed. Lane had a way with words. He wouldn't make people feel uncomfortable or offended and could achieve his goal, showing that he had power in the company and was wealthy privately.
But what surprised Dorothy was that even after she had made her rejection of him so clear, which Austin had surely told him, he was still trying to chat with her privately.
