Caught off-guard when she was called, Dorothy quickly typed a response on her keyboard.

The Fourth Project Team Director Dorothy: [Nothing, carry on!] This was totally unexpected. She had never used the listen-in feature during previous meetings; it was always a direct link to the online conference room or an invitation to join. Now, she found herself eavesdropping for the first twithout an invite! Had she known it would turn out like this, she would have steered clear at all costs! But now that Everett had mentioned her by nduring the conference, she feared that if she left the room within five minutes, it would be announced! Crashing the meeting was already conspicuous enough; leaving now would surely turn her into the talk of the town among her colleagues.

Left with no other choice, Dorothy leaned back in her chair and decided to brazenly watch Everett leading the meeting, detailing the new project's direction.

Everett truly had a knack for business. Many projects, often seen as risky or unfavorable, never lost money under his watch! This resulted in numerous companies secretly taking cues from the Lopez Corporation. Any sign of movement from Everett, and they would swiftly follow suit, investing in similar ventures.

"In the domestic market, for at least the next five years, growth will revolve around renewable energy. So, that direction is a safe bet. The main thing is the details. Due diligence must be thorough, especially in confirming the other party's financial stability. We don't want to end up having to bail them out halfway through the project." His voice was quite appealing-deep with a gravelly texture, rich yet not overly mature.

Still, Dorothy preferred the sound of his voice first thing in the morning. Raspy, with a youthful timbre, like dual tracks running in harmony.

An hour later, the meeting finally ended. Dorothy was automatically booted from the conference room. She had just breathed a sigh of relief when her phone began to ring.

Recognizing the number on the screen instantly, she answered, "Hello..." "You needed me?" "No, just clicked in by accident." As soon as she said it, she wanted to bite off her tongue! Conference room channels were password-protected! Accidental entry was impossible! Fortunately, Everett didn't expose her lie and didn't say much else.

Dorothy could hear the sound of Everett's dress shoes, indicating he was probably walking out.

The call should have ended there, but neither of them hung up.

Eventually, Everett broke the silence.

"Want to see the kids?" "Yes!" "In twenty minutes, I'll video call you from the hotel." "Okay, great!" After she replied, Everett hung up first.

Dorothy stared at her phone for a long while before focusing on the time.

Twenty minutes! She took a deep breath, stood up, poured herself a glass of warm water, took a stroll around her apartment's living room, and checked the tagain.

Only five minutes had passed.

She frowned slightly, returned the glass, changed into a different qutfit, freshened up in the bathroom, and F. then cback to check the tagain.

Twelve minutes had gone by.

As she pondered this, the video call invitation from Everett popped up.

Dorothy hurriedly accepted, and the first thing she saw was a close-up of Everett's handsface. "I'm at the hotel lobby, about to head up." X
