Chapter 135
But if the person she really cared about didn’t believe her, what was the point if others did?
“Sometimes I really admire Dorothy.” She admitted. “She’s got Everett on a tight leash, and I’ve got nothing. All I do is help him in business.”
“Hell see your worth sooner or later. Plus, you’ve got Amanda from the Lopez family on your side, so what’s there to fear? With Dorothy’s status, she can’t even step foot into the Lopez’s territory, let alone be acknowledged by his mom”
Heather didn’t respond, but she knew better than Jeffrey If she wanted to limit Everett’s actions now, she had to win over his mother. Surely, Everett wouldn’t disregard his mother just to be with Dorothy
After leaving Heather’s office, Dorothy headed straight to the paternity test center Karen had recommended with samples in hand.
Normally, this kind of rule–breaking wouldn’t be allowed, but luckily she had Karen to vouch for her
After sorting everything out, Dorothy received a call from Everett on her way back to the office.
She had assumed he would be by Heather’s side in the hospital.
“Where are you?”
“I’m at the office.”
– “Dorothy, I’m in your affice”
Dorothy coughed lightly. “Ah, I was just a bit hungry, so I stepped out to grab something to eat. Ill be back soon.”
He hung up seemingly upset.
I made sense
He must have been warned after seeing her confront Heather in her office. After all, Heather was his true love.
Expecting a lecture Dorothy returned to her office to find Everett waiting for her on the couch,
He was lounging there with a stem expression or his handsome face as his gaze fixed on Dorothy
“Why did you go to Heather without permission?”
“I had some things to ask her.” Durathy replied, not feeling guilty All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The worst she had done was accidentally knock Heather down. But if Heather hadn’t made the first move, she wouldn’t have pushed het. Everett frowned. “You should think twice before you act in situations like this.”
If Heather had called the police, Dorothy would definitely have been taken in for questioning.
With no surveillance in Heather’s office, all the blood would be left to Heather’s interpretation. If she was charged with assault, Dorothy would have to spend some time in jail.
*I forgot she just had surgery, and besides, she started it.”
“You shouldn’t have gone in the first place.”
“Mr. Lopez, if you keep saying I shouldn’t do this or that how am I supposed to prove my innocence to anyone?” Dorothy didn’t want to discuss this with Everett alone.
She wanted to avoid any gossip about her bribing or seducing the boss. But if Everett kept defending Heather she had to speak up for herself.
Everett looked of her. He suddenly stood up and walked his tall frame towards her.
After a while, he finally spoke, “Dorothy, you and I are married. My relationship with Heather is strictly professional. We are just boss and employee
Perhaps it was his imposing presence or the shocking revelation, but Dorothy was left speechless. Her mind entered a blank slate.
“I promised you that I’d handle this fairly. Can you give me some time?”
Before she could process their conversation, Everett’s lips were already on hers.
His kiss was passionate, as if he was deliberately punishing Dorothy.
