GoodRead"You just go. If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear. Besides, Mr. Lopez doesn't mind." She remained silent.
But she felt she did do something wrong.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDorothy was already feeling suffocated. She couldn't imagine when she actually met Everett Lopez, alone in a car with him, in a confined space. She'd probably be so awkward that she'd break out in goosebumps! "Mr. Lopez has a car at Lumina Bay. I'll give you the keys when we get there." "Um... I'm not a great driver. | don't want to wreck Mr. Lopez's car." Kevin gave her a mysterious smile and raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry! Mr. Lopez has dozens of cars parked in his garage at Lumina Bay; even if you wreck one, no one will know! If it wasn't for the fact that you can't transfer ownership, you could sell a few." Dorothy pulled a face, unsure whether to marvel at Everett's wealth first or mourn the fact that her excuse had been shot down.
On the plane, Kevin and a few colleagues who were traveling together held a small meeting.
She listened in, but didn't understand much; she exclaimed to herself about how smart her mentor was.
After the flight attendant distributed the meals, Kevin returned to his seat.
Dorothy glanced at the contract in his hand. It was a hedge report.
"Is this Genesis Creations Inc. research project that big a deal to the Lopez Corporation?" "Yeah, the profits are huge, but so are the challenges.” Kevin waved the stack of research materials, "I'm going to be tied up with this for the next few months." "You're working so hard. Doesn't your family mind?" She noticed Kevin practically lived at the Lopez Corporation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKevin picked up his coffee and took a sip, "My parents are overseas." "What about your wife?" "I don't have a wife. I'm not married.” Kevin made a point of showing his bare ring finger, "I'm in my prime right now so | need to focus on my career!" "No wonder, Kevin. You've achieved such a high position at the Lopez Corporation because you've put your all into it." Kevin waved his hand and laughed, "Less of the flattery. Tell me who gets married early in our industry? I'm so busy | wish there were 48 hours in a day. If | have a girlfriend, get married, and have a kid with her, it wouldn't be fair to her. | won't have time for her or our family." Dorothy nodded in agreement.
There were so many married men who failed to do their duties to attend kids, thus leading to a divorce. The children were the ones who suffered the most.
"Look at Mr. Lopez. He's not married either, is he? Ms. Heather has been with him for so long and they've made no moves to take the next step. It's because they have to focus on their careers too." Dorothy was taken aback. She let out an awkward laugh.
"Hey, was Mr. Lopez a catch as a schoolboy?" Kevin suddenly felt in the mood for some idle chit-chat.
That was the first time he'd asked Dorothy about something not work-related.
Dorothy thought for a moment, "He was just chased by almost every girl in school.” She still remembered Everett's desk, which was overflowing with love letters. Many of them ended up on her desk because there was no room on his! It was so disruptive that she even considered asking the teacher for a new deskmate.
