GoodRead"Lane, once the project in Everglow City wraps up, I'll hand in my resignation.” "No need; I've got a company abroad too!" Before, Lane was hesitant about Dorothy leaving the country, but now he was all for it.
The further she was from Everett, the better.
That way, he wouldn't stick his long nose into everything.

She still had the opportunity to be with her children. They were young and still hadn’t been traumatized by her absence. But once they were older, it would be too late for any remedy.
"If you want to work, just come to me. Dorothy, you didn't have any unpleasant experiences at East Star Enterprises, did you?" "Not at all." This was the truth. During her time at East Star Enterprises, although she had to work overtime to achieve the success she had today, her superiors were very considerate. She had no status or identity, and if East Star Enterprises had been biased, it wouldn't have been easy for her to become a project director. They could have come up with any excuse to keep her from climbing up the ladder.
"So, consider East Star Enterprises like your own home; who knows, maybe we'll..." "Lane." Dorothy quickly interrupted him. "I really don't want to think about relationships right now. | don't want to deceive you because | think you're a good person.” Lane looked into her eyes. It took him a long time to ask, "Are you not over Everett?" He didn't want to ask.
If he got the answer he dreaded most, what would he do? Let go? Dorothy didn't directly respond. She just pulled at the corner of her lips as she said, "We're over." She didn't want to tell others about the actions of the Lopez family because she didn't have solid evidence yet. If the truth was made public, everyone would understand why she couldn't be with Everett.
Lane wasn't a fool. He knew Dorothy's non-answer was an answer in itself.
But since she said it was over, why did he need to know the definite answer? "I'll wait for you. | can give you some more time." Dorothy was at a loss for words.
She didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Lane.

Lane wanted to say something, but the driver's voice call came through.
She saw a car stop up ahead, so she picked up the call and got out of the car. "Hello? I'm here. I'm right at the entrance.” Dorothy barely walked a few steps from the car when she saw the driver also get out from the opposite side.
Upon seeing her, he waved and smiled genuinely.
Seeing him put many of Dorothy's thoughts at ease.
With one look at the driver, anyone could tell he was an honest man. His pure, smiling eyes seemed too genuine to be fake.
"Shall we go in and talk?" "Sure!" The driver's innocent look wasn't feigned. The version Everett had told him was simply one of a friend helping another.
He just did a good deed.
