Everyone subconsciously assumed that Heather, as the Chief Legal Officer of the Lopez Corporation,
couldnât possibly have any designs
on a mere assistant.
But what they didnât know was that Dorothy was more than just an assistant. She was the apple of
Everettâs eye.
Heather would even prefer to be an assistant, just to be that special someone to Everett
âJeffrey, donât talk nonsense. I didnât.â
âWell, say what you will, but itâs all set in stone now. Everett and Dorothy are not getting back together.â
Jeffrey felt a certain discomfort
in his chest whenever he thought about his buddy failing to win back the woman he loved.
Before, he didnât know how much Everett loved Dorothy. He thought it was just a fling.
When he courted women, heâd sweet talk them and be gentle and considerate, but he never thought
about the long run.
But Everettâs love for Dorothy could only be described as undying.
âTheyâre definitely not getting back together?â
âOf
course! Dorothy got married and even had a kid after leaving Everett. How could they possibly
reconcile?â in Jeffreyâs eyes, Dorothy was diagnosed as infertile, yet she tried to have a child for her
husband. That must be true love.
Heatherâs voice suddenly rose. âDorothy had a child?!â
âYeah, the kid is two years old now. Counting the time, it means she never stopped after leaving
Everett and became pregnant not long after remarriage.â
In contrast to Jeffreyâs belief, Heather was skeptical
âAre you sure Dorothy has a child?â
âWhy would I lie about that? Youâre not planning to make a move on her again, are you?â
âNot at all, if sheâs really done with Everett, then I have no issues with her. But Heather paused, then
whispered, âThis kid⦠Youâre sure itâs not Everettâs?
Given the way they were in love, Heather had to harbor this suspicion
âItâs not. Iâm sure Everett hasnât seen her at all these past few years, let alone had any relationship with
her. For a long time, Everett tried every channel to find Dorothy, but to no availâ
So as long as Dorothyâs child was two years old, it definitely wasnât Everettâs.
All this information came from his good friend, Lane, who surely wouldnât lie to him, right?
*I see, then I can rest easyâ Heather wasnât as easygoing as Jeffrey. She had to be absolutely sure that
this child had nothing to do with
Everett
âYou should stop focusing so much on Everett and think about yourself. Jeffrey said and hung up.
A smirk pulled at Heatherâs lips as she dialed Maxtonâs number. She asked him to subtly inquire about
Dorothyâs child.
At the airport.
It was finally time for Dorothy to board the plane. She quickly boarded and sat down to call Kenneth.
âIâm about to take off. I be out of touch for a few hours, but if you find Langston, please text me right
away so I can see it as soon as i
land.â
âAlright, Iâve already contacted the local police. Theyâre conducting a largeâscale searchâ
âThanks, Kenneth.â
Kennethic voice was filled with guilt. âI canât even keep an eye on a kid. I feel terrible.â
âDonât say that, itâs not your fault that Langston ran away. I know how good you are to himâ Dorothy
never doubted this for a second.
