Today, Abigail and Langston, who were buzzing with excitement, played until the wee hours of the morning before finally hitting the hay.

Dorothy made sure the kids were sound asleep before retreating to her bedroom, indulging in a relaxing shower and slipping into her pajamas.

Everett had been glued to his work ever since dinner, his eyes now locked on the computer screen with an intensity that seemed to light up the room.

But Dorothy didn't feel neglected, not one bit. In fact, she adored Everett when he was in work mode! With his gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, a slight furrow in his brow, he listened intently to the report from the person on the other end of the call.

Every now and then, he'd push up his glasses with the tip of his finger, exuding a no-nonsense vibe that made Dorothy itch to plant a kiss right on the bridge of his nose...

Dorothy naturally had her own world too.

Recent events had thrown a wrench into her projects, yet no one from the company had come knocking for updates. She didn't need a crystal ball to know why.

Kevin must have stepped in.

Effortlessly, she logged into the Lopez Corporation's software and was stunned to find her title had changed from assistant to director.

Even with East Star Enterprises merging into the Lopez Corporation, she couldn't fathom how she qualified for the director's chair.

Everett noticed her account go active and lifted his gaze to meet hers.

She blinked in surprise, "How'd you know | was online so fast?" Her position, even as a director, didn't warrant a direct line to the CEO's account of the Lopez Corporation! Plus, he was in a meeting. So he surely couldn't monitor employee logins all the time, right? Everett's lips curved into a slight smile as he swiveled his screen to show her.

A pop-up notification was on display, alerting Everett that the project director of the Lopez Corporation, Dorothy, was online.

There was actually a feature for that? She thought to herself.

He answered her silent question in a low voice as he could read her heart, "I had your son design it. It's just for you and me." "Langston?" "Mhm, he said he was bored, so | let him tinker with the Lopez Corporation's software backend.” Dorothy was taken aback; she hadn't expected Everett to let their son mess with the company's systems.

"He's still a kid! Don't let him cause you any trouble.” Everett didn't respond but shared a digital business card with Dorothy through the Lopez Corporation's software.

Opening it, she saw: Network Technology Consultant for the Lopez Corporation: Langston Sanchez.

"Have you lost your mind?" "Langston passed the company's assessments, and human resources approved it," Everett said seriously. "However, we should probably change his last name." "Even if he loves computers, you need to keep an eye on him. He's still too young, so don't let him accidentally cause a mess at the Lopez Corporation.” "Your son already did, no harm done." It had merely caused the Lopez Corporation's software to go offline for a couple of weeks.

Dorothy then had nothing to say.

Everett saved the final contract and sent it to Kevin, then stood up and walked over to Dorothy, gently patting her shoulder.

"Stop worrying about everything. You are always fretting over different things. I've got it under control.” He didn’t want Dorothy to wear herself out.

Her little mind was carrying too much weight. If only she could let go a little, like others did, but Dorothy was different. She kept everything bottled up.

Just like now, Everett was painfully aware that Dorothy was hiding something big from him.

Something that not only threatened her but was also beyond his ability to fix because Dorothy hadn't even tried to ask for his help.

What on earth could it be?
