It was an ironclad excuse that sealed everyone's lips in an instant.

When the CEO handpicks an assistant, who dares to utter a word? After the meeting, Everett stood up to leave, with Kevin trailing just behind him as they entered the CEO's private elevator.

Once the doors slid shut, Kevin finally broke the silence. "Human Resources has notified Ms. Sanchez about the position." "Right," Everett responded, his face the picture of serenity. "She'll probably ask to resign." He had Dorothy figured out long ago.

"Indeed, but she's got a contract. Ms. Sanchez won't resign so easily." The elevator dinged, and the doors opened.

Everett strode out, then paused and glanced back at Kevin. "Tell me, do you think what I'm doing is a bit underhanded?" Despite the years at the helm, Everett had never abused his power or coerced anyone. Even when he wanted Dorothy to join the Lopez Corporation's headquarters, he had Kevin mentor her rather than parachuting her into the position.

This was, perhaps, the first time Everett had been so oblivious to someone else's wishes.

Kevin didn't see the issue. He chuckled, "Mr. Lopez, why do you think we earn this money and hold this power?" Everett raised an eyebrow, prompting him to go on.

"Isn't it so we can do what we want and keep who we want?" "Makes sense when you put it like that." Everett chuckled, feeling the strain of his ungentlemanly actions fades. It was an unfamiliar way of operating for him, but Kevin had no trouble adapting; he believed this was how a CEO should act.

Kenneth was unusually firm and adamant about Dorothy working at the Lopez Corporation.

"Dorothy, you can't go!" "I don't want to, but | have a contract! It's written clearly. How can | afford to pay the penalty?" Dorothy wanted nothing more than to steer clear of the complexities of the Lopez Corporation, especially with the whole Langston situation. The last thing she wanted was to get closer to Everett.

"I'll pay for it. However much it is? I'll cover it!" Dorothy sighed, looking at him helplessly. "Knowing the way Everett is forcing my hand, I'd owe billions." "That's extortion! I'll get a lawyer to fight this." "Forget it. We can't twist the arm of a giant." Dorothy had come to terms with the reality.

She'd thought about struggling, about recklessness.

But the truth was, as long as Everett was set on having her, there was no escape.

Kenneth paced in front of her, clenching his fists.

"Kenneth, don't worry. If he wants me there, I'll go. It just means I'll be more cautious and steer clear of him. There won't be anything between Everett and me again." "Don't you get it?" Kenneth furrowed his brows, his eyes full of concern. "I'm not afraid you'll get back with Everett! I'm afraid that if you reappear, Everett's parents and that woman named Heather will see you as a thorn in their side again!" Their tactics were never bound by morality, like how they had directly killed Bella.
