"Everett, cut the crap!"
The man on the receiving end of the scolding just shrugged nonchalantly, pinching out the last embers of his cigarette.
"I'm just weighing my options here, seeing if a peck on the cheek is worth getting bitten."
Dorothy pretended she hadn't heard his blasphemous remark and kept her gaze fixed firmly on the pavement ahead.
But Everett had a dead-serious look on his face, as if he were negotiating the finer points of a business deal. "Is there a limit to the number of kisses per day?"
Dorothy struggled for a response.
She was convinced that Everett was possessed or something.
...
The news of Dorothy returning to work at Lopez Corporation spread quickly, reaching Heather's ears as she clocked out from the legal department.
Heather was rooted to the spot, her mind racing. As soon as she heard the news, she knew that Everett never had a new bride; there was only ever Dorothy, his lingering old flame!
She hadn't even sorted things out with Jeffrey, and now there was a new complication.
In the midst of her irritation, her phone suddenly rang.
A strange number flashed on the screen.
Heather was tempted to ignore it, but worried it might be critical information from the other side, unsuitable for the regular contact number.
Moreover, as it was her personal phone and outside of working hours, she didn’t think it would be unacceptable to answer the call.
Hesitating for a moment, she finally pressed the answer button.
A male voice came from the other end, "Is this Heather Garcia?"
"Yes, it's me. Who is this?"

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...
