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.

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...
