Kevin chuckled. His demeanor was cool and collected. "Heather, | work for Mr. Lopez." As for whether he was on Dorothy's side, that depended on Mr. Lopez. If Dorothy was Mr. Lopez's confidante, then by default, he was also on Dorothy's team.
But as for Heather, she sure as hell wasn't going to be part of Mr. Lopez's circle.
Heather's brows furrowed. Her return had been a whirlwind of uncomfortable experiences, and facing Kevin was the icing on the cake.

Don't be shortsighted; you might regret it." Kevin pretended to carefully consider her suggestion. He even nodded in agreement. "Thank you for the advice, Heather." Heather didn’t know how to reply to that.
"Do you need anything else? | have to rush back to the office to deliver documents to Mr. Lopez." Once work was on the table, Heather couldn't keep him any longer. After all, causing a delay in his professional duties would be a major issue.
Heather's lips twitched. "Fine, Kevin, you've got guts.” "Thank you for the compliment.” The elevator stopped, the doors slid open, and Kevin calmly stepped out without even a backward glance.
For now, the company was still Mr. Lopez's, not Heather's.
If the day ever came that Heather took over, he could always resign and move on.
He had years of experience as a CEO's assistant, all honed at the Lopez Corporation. Many companies would be eager to pay top dollar for his expertise. He wouldn't be jobless.
There was no chance of him ever working with Heather.
In Everglow City.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDorothy had just about wrapped up her work before heading to Havenbrook City.
She wasn't sure how long it would take to complete the project there, so she'd been pulling all-nighters, making thorough preparations and plans the entire time. Especially since Lane had warned her about how cunning the other party could be, ready to exploit any oversight that could potentially jeopardize the company.
The night before her trip, she video called Abigail, then transferred some money to Karen.
Karen was already doing her a huge favor by looking after her child; the least she could do was cover the expenses.
"Do we really need to keep such a clear distinction between us?" Karen questioned.
"You know I've always been like this. Don't make it difficult for me." With a sigh, Karen accepted the money. "Just be careful in Havenbrook City; don't run into trouble again. Remember, always have a backup plan before charging ahead. Your job is important, but so is your life and health." Dorothy laughed at her concern. She knew Karen was being overly cautious. She was afraid of Dorothy being another mishap that could land her in the hospital.
"Relax! The person who hurt me has paid the price." "When my brother heard about it, he almost flew back from overseas to help you." "No." Dorothy quickly interjected. "Don't tell him about my problems. He has enough to deal with." Karen huffed. "You're always worried about causing trouble. Sometimes | wonder if you actually consider us family. Isn't family supposed to help each other?" "Of course, you guys are my family now." She didn't want to be an orphan.
"That's good to hear. Now you should get some rest. Your flight's tomorrow at noon, right?" "Yup, at 12 p.m., goodnight. You guys should go to sleep too."
