Dorothy was fuming, her usual filter gone in the heat of the moment as she snapped back, "It was you who insisted I shouldn't call you Mr. Lopez!"
That comment hit Everett just as she intended.
"What was our relationship back then, and what is it now?"
"You..."
Everett sat there with a businesslike demeanor, as if the one causing a scene was Dorothy herself!
"Ms. Sanchez, we are discussing professional matters. If you have any personal issues you'd like to address with me, we can talk after hours."
"I have nothing personal to discuss with you!" Dorothy glared at Everett, her words bitten off sharply, "Since the decision has already been made, why not just have HR inform me of my transfer? Dragging me to the CEO's office like this is bound to cause misunderstanding, Mr. Lopez."
She emphasized the last words with particular force.
Everett didn't seem bothered. He just pursed his lips in a slight smile. "What kind of misunderstanding?"
Seeing him play dumb, Dorothy decided to lay it all out, "That you may have a secret crush on me!"
"Oh." To her surprise, Everett suddenly stood from his chair, his long strides bringing him right up to her.
His towering height alone was enough to impose a heavy sense of pressure!
"Why are you getting so close to me?"
"I believe the matter you mentioned deserves some clarification." Everett's eyes locked onto her face, his voice deep and haunting, every word a deliberate hammer to her heart, "This is no misunderstanding."
Dorothy waited for Everett to continue.
"I do have a crush on you. Haven't you known that all along?"

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...
