"He's probably... gone incognito or something, right?" After all, Everett's system access was way more advanced than that of the other employees. A little invisibility trick was definitely within his capabilities.

"I checked, he's not incognito, just not here." "Maybe he's in a meeting that doesn't require system access.” These kinds of meetings surely existed, like listening to subordinates’ reports, quarterly reviews, or handling project receptions, legal department contract liaisons, and so on.

But, typically, Kevin could handle such tasks; it was unusual for Everett to handle them personally.

Especially when he hadn't even returned a single call, just for those tasks? "Why not give him another call! | have this sneaky suspicion Dad might be having an affair.” Dorothy sighed, giving her son's head a gentle pat. "Don't talk nonsense! Your father would never do such a thing. Where on earth are you picking up such words? Don’t use them again, okay?" Langston stuck out his tongue and then bounded upstairs with Abigail.

They continued to play, carefree as ever, leaving Dorothy with a nagging sense of uncertainty.

Everett was acting out of character.

After a few minutes of internal debate, Dorothy finally picked up her phone.

She wasn't worried about infidelity; she was worried something had happened to him, and he was keeping it from her! This time, the phone rang and rang with no answer.

Dorothy's anxiety spiked; she tried again, still no answer.

She decided to call Kevin's mobile number directly, and after a few tones, Kevin picked up.

"Ms. Sanchez." "Kevin, are you at the office?" "Uh, yes, | am. What's up?" "I've been trying to call Everett, and he's not answering. Is he still tied up?" Dorothy stood up from the couch, ready to grab her car keys and head to the office to see for herself.

Kevin, unaware that she was planning to come over, continued to fumble his words, "Yeah, Mr. Lopez is still swamped. Lots to do today, probably missed his phone!" "Did you tell him about the call | made this morning?" "No, | haven't. | got caught up, totally slipped my mind. Sorry about that, Ms. Sanchez." "It's okay. You guys keep at it." Dorothy hung up and stepped out the door without hesitation.

Kevin's tone was a clear giveaway; something was off with Everett. She needed to see what was going on for herself! Heading to Lopez Corporation, Dorothy decided to take Everett's Maybach, just in case.

The security at the parking garage didn't stop her for identification, allowing her smooth passage.

Upon entering the grand lobby of Lopez Corporation, she didn't head straight for the CEO's office floor. Instead, she pressed the button for the floor where Everett often held meetings.

However, the meeting rooms were empty, not a soul in sight, not even a lower-level meeting in progress, so Kevin couldn't possibly be busy! Dorothy's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, and she didn't want to speculate.

She took the elevator straight to the CEO's office.

Just as she expected, the lights were off, and no one was there.

Standing at the door of the CEO's office, she dialed Kevin's number again.

"Ms. Sanchez, something else?" "Where are you right now?" "I... I'm in the CEO's office with Mr. Lopez." "Then come out. I'm at the door." There was silence on the other end for almost a minute before Kevin spoke in astonishment, "You... you came to the office!" "Tell me the truth, where is Everett? What's really going on?" "I... I can't, Mr. Lopez told me not to say anything.” Kevin sounded almost tearful, "Ms. Sanchez, maybe you should try calling Mr.

Lopez again?"
