After a quick word with her mom, she hailed a cab to the head office of the Lopez Corporation.
hadn’t been here often. She only ever came during the annual meetings of the Prosperity Consortium.
She was dumbstruck the moment she stepped into the lobby
This place was just stunning. The hanging chandeliers alone, made of natural crystal must cost a fortune. The surroundings resembled a museum. It was filled with antique pieces and original masterpieces.
Following Heather’s instructions, Dorothy took elevator number 12 straight to the ninth floor.
As soon as she stepped out, she spotted Heather’s office. The words “Chief Legal Officer on the door signified the importance of Heather to the whole Lopez Corporation.
“You got here quick.” Heather was decked in a Chanel dress. Her makeup was subtle yet exuded an air of sophistication
“is the contract from SinoSuccess Enterprises already ready?” Dorothy didn’t want to make small talk, given her awkward position, and cut straight to the chase.
“Mm–hmm. Mr. Percy from Team 3 was in a hurry, so the legal department sped up the process.” Heather stood up from her chair to pour Dorothy a glass of water “Normally, projects of this scale wouldn’t land on my desk. But Everett asked me to help you out so i specifically requested this contract
Every time she mentioned Everett, there was an intimacy in her tone that suggested their relationship was rock solid and impenetrable.
Upon seeing Dorothy silent, she smiled. Sit down! There are some details in the contract that need to be ironed out with you so you can’t just up and leave.”
Hearing this, Dorothy pulled out a chair and sat down, her manner impeccable. “Thanks for the trouble”
“No need to thank me. All projects of the Lopez Corporation ultimately belong to Everett My return to the country is simply to assist him.” Heather Laid out the contract from SingSuccess Enterprises on the table ‘Back to business, the breach of contract part in this agreement has major flaws in your proposal. Of course, I understand your lack of experience, but you need to know there are limits to legal compensation for breaches. If you exceed them, not only will the court not support you, but the other company won’t care either

“I get that you’re trying to intimidate them, but you need to know your place. Crossing the line is not a good look.”
Although Heather said it casually Dorothy felt there might be some hidden meaning in her words.
“I have no intentions of overstepping my boundaries. I’m simply an employee of the Lopez Corporation, and I’m doing my best within
the confines of the contract”
Heather paused, then laughed. “We’re discussing work here.”
Tm also talking about work
“Oh, that’s good. I was worried you might misunderstand something”
After that, they continued discussing the details of the contract
There was no denying that Heather was exceptional in her field.
After hearing about her from Karen, Dorothy looked up Heather’s profile out of curiosity
She had been involved in several major cases for the Lopez Corporation overseas and made significant contributions to the company.
It was no wonder she was Everell’s in love.
“Were you and Everett classmates?”
Heather’s question snapped Dorothy out of her thoughts.
“Mm bom.”
“Middle school classmates, right? Everett once told me about a deskmate his who ofton skipped school to work”
