"Yeah," Dorothy replied, trying to mask her anxiousness with a forced calmness. "Is Everett around?" Kevin hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, he's in, but he's tied up in a meeting." "How long do you reckon it'll last?" "It's hard to say." Dorothy pursed her lips, her determination not waning. "Then I'll wait for him here." Kevin seemed a bit uneasy. "Mr. Lopez might be a while... Maybe you can tellwhat you need, and I can pass the message?" Dorothy caught on to something in his tone. She smiled slightly, "Everett told you not to letin, didn't he?" "No, not at all! Ms. Sanchez, you're reading too much into it. Why would Mr. Lopez say something like that?" "Then go tell him I'm here to see him. I'll wait right outside." "...He really is in a meeting!" Dorothy met his gaze, firm and clear. "Everett has dropped countless meetings forbefore, no matter how important they were. Why can't he do it now?" There was a heavy silence before Kevin capitulated. "Okay. I'll let him know you're here." Dorothy wasn't aiming to corner Kevin; after all, he had helped her out a lot in the past. Even if things were tense with Everett, she believed in not dragging others into their personal issues. That was always her principle.
"Alright." Kevin, realizing he couldn't dissuade Dorothy, turned back to the office.
He knocked and upon entering, Everett seemed to sense something, his gaze immediately locking onto Kevin.

"Yeah," Kevin nodded. "She said she'll wait outside until your meeting is over. I tried talking her out of it, but she won't budge." Left with no other option, Everett gestured dismissively. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it after the meeting." "Got it." Chapter 1070 1 "Mr. Lopez will cout after his meeting," Kevin informed her.
Dorothy nodded her thanks. "Appreciate it, Kevin." "It's no trouble. Just doing my job." As Kevin walked towards the elevator, he couldn't help but glance back at Dorothy.
"Ms. Sanchez... Everett's been in a rough spot lately. Please, go easy on him." Dorothy paused, absorbing his words. "Yeah, I know." Everett needed his space, tto think, maybe even a break from their shared hat Bay Residence.
But that didn't mean he could just walk away from their relationship! It took her a lot to open up to him, and she feared he might be the only one she could ever open up to in this lifetime. "Have a good talk. Everett's got a lot on his plate too."
