He had been into her for over a decade now.
Jeffery was caught off guard by this sudden news. He had no idea how to respond.
Everett didn’t bother to explain further. He just drove away from the hospital.
Left behind, Jeffery could only sigh with his mouth wide open.
Losing her was a tough nut to crack.
Dorothy was being summoned by her boss, but the direction was a mess, leaving her feeling restless and appalled.
“Are you even listening to me?” Karen nudged her with an elbow.
Dorothy snapped back, “Huh? Yeah, I am.”
“Actually, this matter has already caused quite a debate in the office. I think you shouldn’t miss this opportunity. It’s for us small employees. It won’t be easy to appeal.”
“Heather is the big cheese. If it were me, I’d just read all the research online. While it might not prove anything, it could at least clear up some confusion.”
“No way,” Heather said.
However, she’s an expert at exploiting loopholes to hit back at people!
In this regard, Dorothy had to admit that she was at a disadvantage. Competing with a lawyer on the front was a losing battle.
“So we just wait for the company investigation to end?” Karen was still mulling over the company’s actions. She knew whoever made the decision would prioritize preserving Heather, the chief lawyer.
Who would care about Dorothy’s grievance, then?
“Let’s wait,” she furrowed her brow. “Someone said he would create a manacment team.”
“I’m beat. I’m off to wash up and hit the sack.”
Dorothy didn’t answer. She just got up and headed for bed.
Dorothy used to firmly believe that Everett had a thing for Heather, which made her worry about the pressure the company might put on him as CEO and also about his personal feelings.
But things were different now. Dorothy wanted to trust him just this once.
There wasn’t any particular reason, but if she had to name one, it was probably Everett. He looked so gentle and reliable.
It made her feel like she could learn to trust someone and not just take care of things on her own, as she had been doing.
After washing up, Dorothy lay down and checked her phone. There were no messages from Everett.
He must be swamped.
With the day’s affairs unresolved and countless tasks from the Lopez Corporation on his plate every day, his CEO role seemed far from easy.
Since he had promised to investigate the matter, she had to give him some time.
After placing her phone aside, she realized that as the CEO of the corporation, treating her and Heather equally was already a tall order.
While she was engrossed in her phone, Karen suddenly knocked on her door. The knocking startled her.
“Are you asleep yet?”
“Not yet.”
Dorothy got up, adjusted her sleepwear, and opened the door. “What’s up?”
“You gotta check out the company website. It looks like the Lopez Corporation is also paying attention to your issue with Heather, and they’ve even made a response.”
The chairman of the Lopez Corporation...
Dorothy quickly turned her computer on. As soon as she opened the official website, she saw the announcement:
“Recently, the Lopez Corporation was involved in the leakage of some technical blueprints of a cooperating company, which has seriously damaged our company’s image. The board of directors takes this matter very seriously. After an internal investigation, we have decided to terminate the employment of our employee, Dorothy. We reserve the right to prosecute her further if necessary.”
