GoodRead"Heather, any objections?" Before Dorothy could say anything, Everett cut in, his towering figure stepping right in front of her.
The way he stood there, it was as if he was ready to throw down with Heather if she dared to sass Dorothy one more time.
In front of Everett, Heather couldn't keep up her cocky attitude.

Surprisingly, Dorothy didn't ask about the comment she left behind.
"I'm done here, let's go home." "All right." Instead of letting the driver take them, Everett drove her back to Bay Residence himself.
They picked up some fruits and vegetables on the way home and whipped up a simple dinner in the kitchen.
As they were finishing up, Dorothy hesitated, cutlery in hand, and said, "You should take back the account and password you gave me. It'll put your partners at ease.” Everett paused for a moment, his lips curling into a slight smile, "They're not worried." "You don't have to lie to me. After what happened, it's normal for them to suspect me. | get it! You don't have to put yourself under so much pressure just to give me this job." Kevin would have been the best choice for that. The partners knew him well, and he had never messed up in all his years working with Everett.
It would have been normal for an assistant like her to do it, but now there was the leak. It tainted her image and made her less trustworthy.
"Dorothy, I'm the one calling the shots here. If | think you can handle it, then you can.” Dorothy remained unsure.
"Why are you doubting yourself so much? You wouldn't have been given this role unless you were qualified.” He said it so seriously, his handsome face stern; it almost felt like they were back in a meeting at the office.

If something goes wrong, Lopez Corporation will lose even more in addition to just the partners." Everett finished, picking up a piece of meat with his cutlery and putting it in her bowl, "Eat more. You'll be working hard in the future." "Everett, don't be so good to me." It made her feel flustered and under a lot of pressure! Before, she was coddled by Everett without realizing it. But now, it seemed like every little thing Everett did was because he favored her.
Most importantly, she couldn't give him anything in return! Everett looked at her, didn't say anything for a long time, and then finally spoke, "You might never understand how happy it makes me feel whenever | do something for you." Dorothy couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry. I'm not in a rush.” They had plenty of time. They could take it slow.
After dinner, just as Everett was about to take a shower and rest, something came up at work, and he had to attend an emergency meeting.
After Dorothy changed into her pajamas and was about to go over some documents, she noticed the date on the calendar beneath her computer screen.
It was already the 23rd.
Usually, her period came on the 10th! She furrowed her brows, thinking for a minute before finally relaxing and letting out a sigh.
She shouldn't be so sensitive, overthink things, and stress out too much! It was making both her mind and body tired, even causing her period to delay. If she kept that up, it wouldn't have been good for her health.
