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?"
