As Everett mentioned it, Dorothy found herself blushing even more fiercely. It was as if she had been expecting something to happen.

Head bowed, she barely spoke throughout the meal, leaving the diner with her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment. Back at Bay Residence, they found themselves in a rare moment of solitude.

Usually, Abigail and Langston would be playing in their room, not exactly intruding but still, it wasn't the sas being alone together.

Upon returning, Dorothy immediately turned on her laptop, concerned about work possibly needing her attention. Once she got to work, it took precedence over everything else. That was just how Dorothy was wired. "How's the project going?" Everett asked, glancing over her shoulder as he passed by.

Dorothy nodded, "Yeah, no major issues! Luckily, I had covered most of the essentials before I handed it off." She had been involved in the project from the very beginning, putting her heart and soul into every detail, making it unforgettable. "Don't overdo it," Everett said, patting her shoulder. "I wanted you to cback here to take your mind off things, not to sacrifice your health for work." "I want to do it right," Dorothy replied earnestly, looking straight at Everett. "Handing over this project madefeel guilty. It was the first tl asked to change directors, and it felt like I was abandoning my responsibilities." Dorothy was stubborn, that much was true. But more than that, she was at odds with herself.

On one hand, feeling she had been irresponsible, and on the other, unable to stomach the idea of continuing to work at the Lopez Corporation.

"You've always been responsible when it comes to work," Everett mused, then added, "Just not so much with me. That night you sentthe wrong text, would you have pretended it never happened if I hadn't suggested we get married?" Dorothy blinked, her smile awkward. "What else could I have done?" He was the CEO of the Lopez Corporation! Was she supposed to cling to him like other women, hoping for ssort of commitment? That was something Dorothy could never do. S "You could've approached me, taken responsibility, and discussed a solution." His tone was all business.

Dorothy sighed, "Getting a chance to see you is hard enough, let alone discuss anything with you." Looking back, it seemed almost unbelievable. She was just an assistant, and Everett's position in the company was worlds apart from hers.

"If you wanted to find me, you could have," he said firmly.

Then, Everett wrapped his arms around her from behind. "I figured your Whatwas sent to the wrong person." He was smart enough to guess that much. How could Dorothy have possibly used such a familiar and relaxed tone with him? Especially since they hadn't contacted each other on Whatsince graduation. Oɩ et Dorothy's eyes widened, "And you still showed up?" "I wanted to see who you were trying to text." "So you came... to catchout?" Everett didn't deny it, just raised an eyebrow, "To see who was trying to steal you away." Dorothy coughed lightly, hesitating for a moment before also letting out a soft laugh, "Then lettell you something! Actually, that night when you were... on top of me, I was awake." She had had the chance to push Everett away.
