Chapter 30
Dorothy propped herself up, asking, “I’m moving in here?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Got a problem?”
Hell yeah, she had a problem.
Moving in would mean they were practically living together, right? Then every time she got off work, they’d be in each other’s faces.
Facing this moody iceberg all day long would probably take ten years off her life.!
And what about his true love? She would find out sooner or later, right?
If they got back together after she had given up her apartment, what was she supposed to do then? Stick around and watch them be all lovey-dovey?
“Mr. Lopez, I think it’s better if I don’t live here. It’s not convenient. Don’t worry, during the contract period, I’ll be right here any time you
need me.”
“Dorothy, are you really playing the role of the victim here?” Everett frowned. His tone gave her no room for refusal; his command was succinct and clear. “I said move in.”
“Okay, Mr. Lopez.”
How spineless was she?
After breakfast, Everett left.
Dorothy had no choice but to follow orders and pack up her stuff at the rental. At around lunchtime, Karen called.
“Why aren’t you at work today? Mr. Percy said you got permission from the head office. Way to go, Dorothy; it looks like you’re moving up in the world. You’re getting transferred to the Lopez Corporation’s head office.”
“I’m supposed to be doing some training, so I need to prepare in advance.”
“You sound so listless, like you spent the night with a man. Karen’s accusations were not for the faint- hearted.
Dorothy was taken aback. She couldn’t help but cough as she yelled, “Stop it!”
Karen, on the other end, burst into laughter, but she didn’t suspect anything. “By the way, do you remember that woman I told you about? The one Mr. Lopez is smitten with. The chief lawyer, Heather”
“Uh…”
“She’s back! Someone just saw her walking into the company with Mr. Lopez They looked pretty cozy. Everyone in the office is talking
about it.”
Karen’s voice was so animated. It was like she was painting a picture. “Anyway, the key point is that I took a closer look at Heather’s photo. I noticed you look a bit like her.”
Dorothy really didn’t want to hear that.
She couldn’t identify the exact reason; she just didn’t want to hear it.
“Don’t flatter me; she’s a rich girl.”
“But you’re very pretty too! Remember Mr. Steven from the marketing department? His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw you. If you just say yes, he’d be over the moon.”
“Alright Karen. I’ve got some stuff to do, so I’ll talk to you later.
Dorothy quickly ended the call, sat on the couch, and, for some unknown reason, opened the employee group chat of the Lopez Corporation.
This was the first time she’d looked at the content since Karen added her in this group.
Soon, a photo of Everett and Heather entering the company together appeared on the screen.
Everett still had the same cold and serious expression, but Heather, next to him, was all smiles as she looked up at him and talked with eyes full of admiration.
The group chat was abuzz with chatter. They were all praising them for being a perfect match.
As Dorothy was scrolling, she suddenly cleared the entire chat.
Before she could put down her phone, a message notification popped up.
“Add me back on WhatsApp”
Everett?
She paused, then added him on WhatsApp.
At the same time, his account also sent a message in the Lopez Corporation employee group.
“Who is the admin? Disband this group immediately.”
This was definitely sent by Everett himself. Not a word was superfluous.
