Chapter 119
She couldn’t believe him.
If the one framing her was someone else, maybe she could choose to trust Everett.
But it was Heather she was up against
She was someone who held a major place in Everett’s heart and had contributed a lot to the Lopez Corporation,
Whoever weighed the pros and cons would know how to choose. Would the truth even matter then? Who would care?
Dorothy even doubted that Everett, as the CEO, was meddling in this intentionally to destroy evidence and protect Heather.
Yeah, at this point, she trusted no one.
If the accusations of her leaking confidential documents and betraying the company were confirmed, she’d have to carry them for the
rest of her life
Tim sorry”
Dorothy uttered this sad apology and left the room with her suitcase.
She bought a ticket for the earliest fight back to Eldora City. It wasn’t until she was sitting in the terminal that she checked her phone.
She hadn’t even opened the message from Kenneth yet
[Karen told me about your situation. If you need help, I’m pretty savvy with computer hacking.I
Since the last time Dorothy had a heart–to–heart with him, this was the first time Kenneth had sent her a message on his own.
She hesitated, then replied: [Can you recover suddenly disappeared messages from a phone?]
He replied almost instantaneously, as if he had been waiting for her message.
[I can try. When are you coming back to Eldora City?
[arrive at Eldornia City Airport around midnight. Don’t let me disturb your rest! I’ll come to find you tomorrow if you’re free.]
[Are you alone?)
[Yeah.]
[Then I come pick you up]
As if he were afraid she would refuse, Kenneth quickly added: I’m worried the longer we wall, the harder it will be to recover the data.]
Dorothy lowered her head and thought for a moment, feeling disgusted at her own actions
It was as if she only called Kenneth when she needed him, knowing full well his feelings for her yet never giving him an answer.
It’s been so long, one more night won’t make a difference. I’ll come to find you tomorrow when you’re free. Don’t let me interrupt your plans |
After replying, she put her phone aside, feeling waves of headaches and irritation.
Though the main reason for this mess was her lack of defense against Heather had she not been careless, it wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
She also hated that she was so easily trusting. After knowing her hostility, she should have been more guarded against Heather.
Dorothy looked out at the airport, at the red letters that spelled out Lumina Bay!
When she came, she was ecstatic about being part of a core project. But now she was leaving.
Heather had shattered her dream, telling her that quick success was impossible.
Just before boarding, Dorothy saw two missed calls on her phone from Everett.
She hesitated and didn’t return th She turned off her phone and got up to check in
The whole trip was silent, and Dorothy’s delicate face locked visibly hap
Who wouldn’t be upset over something like this?
At two in the morning, the plane landed on time at Eldomia City Airport.
She walked off the plane with her luggage, not turning her phone back on until she was almost at the arrivals section.
The first message that popped up was from Kenneth.
I’m waiting for you at the airport. Contact me when you land; otherwise, I just keep waiting here.
