Dorothy propped herself up, asking, âIâm moving in here?â
âGot a problem?â
Hell yeah, she had a problem.
Moving in would mean they were practically living together, right? Then every time she got off work,
theyâd be in each otherâs 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?
âMr. Lopez, I think itâs better if I donât live here. Itâs not convenient. Donât worry, during the contract
period, Iâll be right here any time you
need me.â
âDorothy, are you really playing the role of the victim here?â Everett frowned. His tone gave her no
room for refusal; his command was succinct and clear. âI said move in.â
âOkay, Mr. Lopez.â
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.
âWhy arenât you at work today? Mr. Percy said you got permission from the head office. Way to go,
Dorothy; it looks like youâre moving up in the world. Youâre getting transferred to the Lopez
Corporationâs head office.â
âIâm supposed to be doing some training, so I need to prepare in advance.â
âYou sound so listless, like you spent the night with a man. Karenâs accusations were not for the faint-
hearted.
Dorothy was taken aback. She couldnât help but cough as she yelled, âStop it!â
Karen, on the other end, burst into laughter, but she didnât suspect anything. âBy the way, do you
remember that woman I told you about? The one Mr. Lopez is smitten with. The chief lawyer, Heatherâ
âUhâ¦â
âSheâs back! Someone just saw her walking into the company with Mr. Lopez They looked pretty cozy.
Everyone in the office is talking
about it.â
Karenâs voice was so animated. It was like she was painting a picture. âAnyway, the key point is that I
took a closer look at Heatherâs photo. I noticed you look a bit like her.â
Dorothy really didnât want to hear that.
She couldnât identify the exact reason; she just didnât want to hear it.
âDonât flatter me; sheâs a rich girl.â
âBut youâre 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, heâd be over the moon.â
âAlright Karen. Iâve got some stuff to do, so Iâll 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 sheâd 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.
âAdd me back on WhatsAppâ
Everett?
She paused, then added him on WhatsApp.
At the same time, his account also sent a message in the Lopez Corporation employee group.
âWho is the admin? Disband this group immediately.â
This was definitely sent by Everett himself. Not a word was superfluous.
