to tie up all loose ends at work

Before she left, she had to tie up

She always finshed what the started.

Dorothy had been hunched over her desk for hours. When she finally lifted her head, it was already two

in the morning.

Her neck felt stiff from the strain, and she decided it was time for a break.

Absentmindedly, she picked up her phone and saw a message from the driver in case she lost his

Only after she sent her reply did she realize the late hour. It was well past midnight, and the driver,

given his age, was likely fast asleep.

After stretching her stiff limbs, Dorothy returned to her computer and was surprised to see a WhatsApp

message from the driver.

She checked the time. It was hall past two in the morning.

“Did I hear that you’re giving Heather a hard time at the company?”

Everett frowned. “If the Lopez Corporation starts to accept people without due process, it will set a bad

precedent”

“Others are others, Heather is Heather She has done so much for the Lopez Corporation, everyone

knows that it would only be normal if she were parachuted into the legal department or even the board!”

Amanda’s tone was dripping with indignation it was as if she were more of a mother to Heather than to

him “I don’t think it’s about setting a precedent, is it? If it were Dorothy parachuting in, I bet you would

be applauding!”

The mention of Dorothy made Everett’s heart skip a beat.

Her name held such power over him that merely hearing it made him react

“What does Dorothy have to do with this?”

“Then tell me who you are marrying in the announcement you made. You didn’t even discuss it with
