Everett massaged his temples as his eyes revealed a deep sense of irritation.

"The announcement of my engagement hasn't affected the company.” Amanda's voice rose in pitch. "Hasn't affected? Shareholders have been calling to inquire about the future Mrs. CEO. Do you think they're just curious?" For a corporation as large as Lopez Corp., any addition had to be scrutinized. If there was any scandal or any hint of dirt that could be dug up, it could impact the stock market.

"I've said it hasn't had an impact.” "Then tell me who she is and let me investigate. | won't rest easy otherwise." "I'm the acting CEO of the company. If | say it's fine, then it's fine. If you and Dad are worried, you can strip me of my title." Amanda was seething. "You..." "So, I'm a CEO who can't even decide on company personnel? Maybe | shouldn't be in this position." "You would sacrifice your CEO position for a woman?" Amanda paused and scoffed. "I bet it's Dorothy. No one else could make you lose your sense like this!" Everett didn't rebuke her. Instead, his lips curled into a mocking smile.

"So, you knew." She knew that Dorothy could make him lose his senses.

Amanda fell silent.

"She's remarried and living happily. Don't disturb her." Everett's voice was calm, but there was an absolute threat in his tone. "I don't want to argue with you." It was best not to cross his line.

"You're really losing it for Dorothy?" "I've lived my life by the book. In both school and work, | never strayed from the path... save for Dorothy." She was his only exception.

Dorothy slept soundly that night, only to be woken by her alarm clock in the early morning.

After lounging in bed for a while, she got up to freshen up.

Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang.

It was Lane.

"I'm downstairs at the entrance of the Dreamscape Hotel. I'll give you a lift to work." "There's no need. | can manage by myself." Her car was fixed, so she could drive herself to work.

She had been planning to keep her distance from Lane. There was no way she was getting into his car.

"Look at you overthinking again. | wanted to discuss a few things about your trip to Havenbrook City. Our partners there can be a bit difficult. Our previous dealings weren't very pleasant. | thought | should prepare you, since you're a lady and all." "Let's discuss it at the office. There's no rush." "I'm already downstairs at your hotel. Are you going to reject me like this? That would really hurt my feelings.” This was Lane's usual tactic. He'd always justify his actions with work, and if that didn't work, he'd guilt her into it.

After all, Dorothy was working under him. She had to respect her superior's face.

"I'm coming down." Even though Dorothy was coming downstairs, she had no intention of getting into his car.

She knew better than to give people something to gossip about.

Employees were already spreading rumors about them when they barely had any personal interactions, so imagine what they would say if they saw her and Lane together.

She didn't want to waste her precious time explaining things.

Dorothy descended the stairs with her bag, spotting Lane's car from a distance.

He was leaning against his car, dressed in white casual attire. A pair of sunglasses adorned his handsome face, attracting quite a few onlookers.

There was no doubt that Lane was strikingly handsome.
