He had a way with her, a gentleness that was almost tender, the kind that spoke volumes. To him, Dorothy was his heart's delight.
“I don’t want special treatment, not from you, Austin, not from anyone. It wouldn’t sit right with the others,” Dorothy insisted, her thoughts drifting to Ophelia and their past confrontations.
Returning to the fourth project team, Dorothy noticed Ophelia’s absence, likely fallout from that botched pricing issue. The Lopez Corporation, with its sprawling empire, wouldn’t let such missteps slide unnoticed.
“Alright, my lips are sealed,” he promised, though Dorothy doubted the sincerity in his assurance.

After Dorothy entered the conference room, Everett finally left the office. Before driving off, he instructed Kevin to keep an eye on Dorothy during the meeting and to report back the moment it ended.
Everett arrived at the secluded diner he and Quincy had agreed on. It was off the beaten path, attracting few visitors.
Stepping out of his car, Everett saw Quincy approaching. His stride was purposeful, his expression stern.
“I need the antidote.”
“You’ll have it,” Quincy assured with a gentle smile, gesturing towards the diner. “I’ve reserved us a table. Shall we?”
Everett glanced at her. “I’m in a hurry.”
“Not even to discuss Ms. Sanchez?”
“Spit it out.” Restraining himself from lashing out at Quincy was proving difficult.

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...
