GoodReadEverett made things official with Dorothy, giving her the legal status of being his wife! That's what the Lopez family had always wanted for her! "Let's keep it a secret for now." Everett took into consideration his mother's illness, but he also knew that if he didn't lock down Dorothy then, take advantage of the situation, he might have really missed his chance later.
It's like what they say, strike while the iron is hot.

He strode back to his bed, recalling the conversation he heard from Dorothy's end during a meeting.
"Dorothy, can | come in?" "Don't be shy. Even if you're working overtime, you still have to eat! If it weren't for Karen insisting on buying clothes, we could've been home earlier. Tomorrow, I'll have her prepare some food at home so you won't have to worry about going hungry when you're working late." That was definitely Kenneth's voice.
Although it seemed like there was a Karen involved, it was late at night back in their home country, and the two of them were still together! With a frown, Everett sent a message to Kevin.
[Go to Lumina Bay and check out Genesis Creations Inc. and bring Dorothy.] Receiving the news of another business trip, Dorothy was a bit dazed.
After all, the project at Genesis Creations Inc. was so crucial that it was pretty much the biggest move the Lopez Corporation was going to make this year. And they were letting her be involved? She thought that since her relationship with Everett had become strained and ended, her favorable treatment at the main office would have also disappeared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know your mother is having surgery, so let's leave on Monday. How does that sound?" Kevin was considerate enough to schedule the date, not leaving her any room for negotiation.
"I'm good with that, but will my name be on the Genesis Creations Inc. project?” If she was going to run around, she might as well have gotten something out of it, right? Although the opportunity to gain experience was rare, if the company was willing to give her some credit on the project, it would have looked good on her resume! "I'm not sure, that's up to Mr. Lopez. I'll mention it for you.” "No need." Dorothy didn't dare to show up in front of Everett at that time.
"Scared of what?" Kevin didn't know what she was thinking, assuming she was just intimidated by the CEO, "When Mr. Lopez's plane lands in Lumina Bay after his trip, I'll arrange for you to pick him up alone. You can butter him up. Whether or not your name is on the project will just be a nod from Mr. Lopez." It wouldn't be a problem if she were actually involved. But without Mr. Lopez's approval, no one would have dared to make that decision.
"Everett is returning for a business trip and will go straight to Lumina Bay?" Dorothy was subconsciously startled and asked, only realizing she had called out his first name after she had already spoken.
Kevin was also startled, "You should still call him Mr. Lopez at the company.” "I'm sorry, I... | thought Mr. Lopez would return directly to the company.” "The original plan was for him to go directly to Lumina Bay from Verdant City." In the original plan, however, they didn't plan on bringing Dorothy to Lumina Bay.
Kevin gave her a reassuring look, "You just need to seize the opportunity.” "Okay, got it." Dorothy watched as Kevin left, then suddenly remembered what he had just said.
What did he say? She had to go to the airport alone to pick up Everett?
