GoodReadEverett only let go of Dorothy's lips when she was just about to pass out.
He had smudged a good deal of her lipstick, making her lips almost as flushed as her hot cheeks.
"Dorothy, | thought you were pretty sharp back in junior high. But now..." Everett raised his hand, mussing up her hair. "I have a meeting. We'll talk more when | get home." With that, he made to leave.
Dorothy quickly asked, "Hey! How's Heather doing now?" After all, she had been the one to push her, and the blood was real. Dorothy was still worried about it.
"She's fine. Don't worry." "Oh." After watching his silhouette disappear into the office, Dorothy couldn't help but ponder the meaning of Everett's words.
He said he was married to her and that he and Heather were just boss and employee. It seemed like he was trying to clarify his attitude towards Heather.

Could it really be that Everett had had a sudden epiphany and decided to stop liking Heather? So, was Everett's next move to get the tattoo removed? For some reason, this possibility made her heart flutter in a strange way.
And she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
After work, as soon as Dorothy stepped out of the company, she saw Everett's assistant waiting for her.
She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before quickly getting in the car.
“I can get to Bay Residence on my own.” “Mr. Lopez instructed me to pick you up.” This assistant was the only one in the department who knew about their relationship.
But being Everett's man, he was obviously tight-lipped.
"Tell him that | won't need a ride tomorrow." Dorothy didn't want people to see her having any private interactions with Everett.
The rumors were already flying, and if Everett was thrown into the mix, it would be one hell of a show.
When they arrived at Bay Residence, the assistant watched her go in before driving away.
Returning to this place gave Dorothy a strange feeling. The last time she left, she thought it was over between her and Everett.
Due to Everett's recent business trips and lack of cleaning staff, there was a layer of dust on the floor.
Dorothy hung up her clothes and decided to clean up the place.
She was already sweating buckets after scrubbing everything inside and out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, the sound of the front door opening startled her.
She thought it was Everett, so she just grabbed the bucket of cleaning water and headed over.
To her surprise, the visitor was a very elegantly dressed woman.
"You are..." Amanda was just as surprised to see Dorothy.
After all, it was common knowledge among the Lopez family that no outsiders were allowed in her son's house.
Dorothy stood frozen, unsure of what to say.
Luckily, Amanda spoke first. "You are the maid my son hired, right?" The bucket and cloth in her hand made it easy to assume that she was a cleaner.
Dorothy quickly nodded. "Yes, I'm here to clean for Mr. Lopez." She also figured out this lady's identity from what she had just said.
Everett actually looked a lot like his mother. Both were good-looking, with deep-set eyes and thick brows.
Even though his mother was over fifty, she still had a charm about her.
