Kevin chuckled. His demeanor was cool and collected. "Heather, I work for Mr. Lopez."
As for whether he was on Dorothy's side, that depended on Mr. Lopez. If Dorothy was Mr. Lopez's confidante, then by default, he was also on Dorothy's team.
But as for Heather, she sure as hell wasn't going to be part of Mr. Lopez's circle.
Heather's brows furrowed. Her return had been a whirlwind of uncomfortable experiences, and facing Kevin was the icing on the cake.
"You're so certain that Everett will never marry me?" She challenged him. "Amanda already sees me as her daughter-in-law, Kevin. You should start thinking about your future. Don't be shortsighted; you might regret it."
Kevin pretended to carefully consider her suggestion. He even nodded in agreement. "Thank you for the advice, Heather."
Heather didn’t know how to reply to that.
"Do you need anything else? I have to rush back to the office to deliver documents to Mr. Lopez."
Once work was on the table, Heather couldn't keep him any longer. After all, causing a delay in his professional duties would be a major issue.
Heather's lips twitched. "Fine, Kevin, you've got guts."
"Thank you for the compliment."
The elevator stopped, the doors slid open, and Kevin calmly stepped out without even a backward glance.
For now, the company was still Mr. Lopez's, not Heather's.
If the day ever came that Heather took over, he could always resign and move on.
He had years of experience as a CEO's assistant, all honed at the Lopez Corporation. Many companies would be eager to pay top dollar for his expertise. He wouldn't be jobless.
There was no chance of him ever working with Heather.
Dorothy laughed at her concern. She knew Karen was being overly cautious. She was afraid of Dorothy being another mishap that could land her in the hospital.
"Relax! The person who hurt me has paid the price."
"When my brother heard about it, he almost flew back from overseas to help you."
"No." Dorothy quickly interjected. "Don't tell him about my problems. He has enough to deal with."
Karen huffed. "You're always worried about causing trouble. Sometimes I wonder if you actually consider us family. Isn't family supposed to help each other?"
"Of course, you guys are my family now." She didn't want to be an orphan.
"That's good to hear. Now you should get some rest. Your flight's tomorrow at noon, right?"
"Yup, at 12 p.m., goodnight. You guys should go to sleep too."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
