Chapter 112
He replied with a grim look on his face.
[it’s a hassle for you to take care of my mam. Ill have someone take over. Thanks for your hard work.]
[You know how bad Amanda’s depression is just want her to be happy, that’s all.
Heather’s words reminded Everett of the year his mother tried to kill herself in the bathroom. The whole floor was covered by a stinging view of blood
The cause was his refusal to follow his family’s wishes and get engaged to Heather.
Ever since Amanda got severe depression, she’s been increasingly controlling and throwing fits over everything. She ever tried to off herself over minor setbacks, like the time she swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills, ust because her housekeeper war led to quit.
The doctors said she was fragile from the trauma of being kidnapped, and the only treatment was rest and indulging her as much as possible.
Everett’s hand fell on the screen. He didn’t reply to Heather for a long time.
A moment later, Kevin knocked on the door, “Mr. Lopez, you wanted to see me?”
“Mhm, put Dorothy’s name on this research project.”
“Alright
Upon hearing this, Kevin was genuinely happy for Dorothy. She was a newbie for sure but she worked hard and never complained. Plus, she did well in the previous projects. Adding her name was perfectly reasonable

Just making a move towards Dorothy wasn’t enough; he also needed her to lean towards him.

*Remember to thank Mr. Lopez later” Kevin didn’t notice her confusion. He was just reminding his apprentice not to forget to thank the boss in her joy.
Dorothy quickly nodded, 1 got it”
Soon enough, Everett appeared in the restaurant along with a few managers.
He was as conspicuous as ever, attracting gazes from all over the place as soon as he walked in.
Everit wasn’t wearing a formal sult, but a black casual outfit instead. His hair was still impeccably groomed. His furrowed brows and tight lips added to his aloof demeanor, making him seem cool and unappmachable.
Before Durdily could look away, she accidentally locked eyes with him
She instinctively looked elsewhere, pretending she hadn’t seen anything.

Dorothy understood that this was Kevin’s way of reminding her.
new contract” Kevin
“Um… thanks for your support, Mr. Lopez. Having come this for all she could do was pluck up the courage to talk to Everett.
By bodding slightly, Everest Indicated that he heard her.
