Everett falling for her? She wouldn't dare entertain such a thought unless Mars crashed into Earth.
"Right now, all | want is to make money. Nothing else." "Ugh!" Karen sighed deeply. "If only | had your good looks." Karen made Dorothy chuckle. As they were chatting, a message popped up on her screen from someone named Mr. K.
"Hello, Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez asked me to get in touch with you. This is my phone number. If it's convenient, we could swap contact info." Dorothy quickly responded with her own number as excitement bubbled up inside her.
After seeing her like this, Karen decided not to push her about the boyfriend matter. Given Dorothy's mother's situation, it was rare to find @ man who could accept it. It wasn't that they were heartless; it just felt like a bottomless pit of unknowns. When would she get better? How much would it cost? So on and so forth.

After exchanging contact details with Kevin, Dorothy took the initiative to add him on WhatsApp.
She knew this was all thanks to her connection with Everett. Otherwise, how could she have the opportunity to interact with the secretary to the president of the Lopez Corporation? "I'll guide you through the initial research for the Social Networking Service when you arrive in Havenbrook. Feel free to ask me any questions." Kevin wrote.
Even though she hadn't met him in person, his style of conversation sounded familiar. It was very methodical.
Clearly, people around Everett were influenced by him.
"Great. Thank you so much in advance for your help." She replied.
The SinoSuccess Enterprises project was just one contract away from being finalized. Dorothy's main task was to keep an eye on the legal department until the contract was finished. So, she spent her day researching information on energy-saving and environmental protection.
Air pollution and smog had become major issues. The government was supportive of companies addressing these problems.
The Lopez Corporation's involvement in these high-profit projects was impressive.
Dorothy took diligent notes on all the information she found, collated it into a document, and even printed out a hard copy. She looked at the performance of not only domestic companies but also similar companies abroad and other developed countries.

"Hello? Ms. Sanchez, your mother has suddenly fainted!" The doctor sounded serious, so Dorothy knew it was serious. She swiftly saved her work and left the office, only managing to text Karen to ask for leave on her behalf.
Upon reaching the hospital, she saw several doctors in her mother's room conducting various checks.
Her heart was pounding so much that she could hear it in her ear as she rushed in. The first thing she saw was the heart rate monitor, which was thankfully stable.
"What happened? Why did my mom faint all of a sudden?" Dorothy asked the nurse, her brows furrowed.
The nurse looked flustered as she tried to recall. "I...I don't know! This morning, | took her for a walk around the hospital. At noon, she said she wanted some porridge, so | went to buy it. When | came back, she was unusually quiet, and then she suddenly fainted." "So, she was acting strange when you got back from shopping?" "Yes! She didn't want to talk, and she didn't respond when | asked if she wanted her porridge heated. Oh, and | noticed she was clutching something in her hand.”
