GoodReadBut there was no use saying this now.
Amanda wasn't a fool. She quickly picked up something fishy from Heather's tone and body language.
"Who's that girl?" She demanded.
"She's his cleaner, really!" "Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes, Heather. You should be on my side! How could you cover this up for Everett?" Amanda was pissed off.
The very idea that this woman had free access to her son's home meant she was no ordinary person.
She actually thought that it was a good thing that her son hired a cleaner. She knew her son was too busy with his work, so he might not have time to clean his room, and since he was a neat freak, a cleaner was just the thing he needed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut after watching Heather stammer today, she was certain that she wasn't a cleaner.
Heather hung her head, biting her lip in discomfort.
"You should ask Everett. If | tell you, he'll be mad. Everett doesn't like people gossiping about him. If I tell you this, he might not do anything to you, but he'll definitely give me a hard time." Amanda jumped to her feet. Her face showed her increasingly annoyed expression.
"Fine, | won't ask you. I'll ask him now!" "Amanda..." Heather reached out to stop her, but Amanda was already storming out of the room.
It was clear she was livid.
Once Amanda was out of sight, Heather's troubled expression faded, and it was replaced by a cold smirk.
Jeffrey was right. If she kept waiting around, she'd just watch Everett and Dorothy's relationship deepen. She had to use her trump card.
The Lumina Bay contract was at a crucial point. Everett was sitting inside the conference room, discussing the contract details with Kevin online.
Everett decided to catch a morning flight to Lumina Bay the next day and, if everything went well, return that night.
It was a hassle, but he couldn't leave Dorothy now.
Firstly, her framing incident was still unresolved, so anything could happen. Secondly, there was Kenneth around Dorothy.
He had to be cautious.
"Mr. Lopez, should we delay submitting the signed contract?" Kevin was hoping to get Dorothy's name on this project too.
This was a rare opportunity for a newbie in the investment banking industry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf she missed it, even if she was proven innocent later, the opportunity wouldn't come again, and no one could change the names on the contract.
"There's no need to wait." Everett paused for a moment as his lips slightly moved.
Kevin nodded. He was about to log off when Everett added, "Include Dorothy's name." Huh? Kevin was stunned. "But..." "I will sort out Dorothy's issue before the names are announced." After saying this, Everett logged off from the company software.
Leaving Kevin, on the other side, baffled.
This was risky. Mr. Lopez never did things like this.
It would have been manageable if he wanted to postpone the contract submission since there was no risk involved. But to include Dorothy's name now was troublesome.
If he couldn't clear up the issue before the names were announced, the Lumina Bay side would definitely kick up a fuss.
If anything went wrong with the project, the Lopez Corporation would be in the firing line.
