"Mr. Lopez."
Dorothy pondered for a few seconds before replying, "I've got a boyfriend."
She didn't buy into this pie-in-the-sky kind of luck. She'd never had such a lucky break in her life and she didn't plan to start believing now.
Whether he was trying to test her further or genuinely needed a wife for some reason, she had no interest in playing along. A simple lie about having a boyfriend should solve all her problems.
Upon hearing this, Everett's lips tightened, and his gaze deepened.
"Is that so?"
"Why would I lie to Mr. Lopez?"
Before he could respond, Dorothy bowed slightly. "I won't bother you anymore, so could you please pass me the contract?"
"Sure."
Everett coldly nodded, not trying to keep her any longer. He simply stated that the contract was with his secretary and closed the door of the suite.
Dorothy left quickly with the contract, wishing the conversation she just had was a figment of her imagination.
Everett wanted to marry her?
What a joke!
...
After getting the contract, Dorothy didn't go straight to Anna for the handover. Instead, she went to Mr. Percy.
She had been working on this project for a very long time, so it wouldn't make sense to suddenly back out. Of course, she knew that, as a leader, Mr. Percy's dignity needed to be saved. So, even if she felt wronged, she had to apologize for the sake of her job.

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...
