“So I can’t, but Kenneth can? Everett furrowed his brow his eyes not missing a beat of her emotional fluctuations.
She mused for a few seconds but didn’t answer the question. Instead, she countered, “My mom insisted on me bringing a boyfriend to see her this time, or she wouldn’t have surgery. I brought Kenneth, thinking I could fcol her, but she suddenly demanded that Kenneth’s parents come to the hospital immediately! If I had brought you instead, could your parents have come?
The answer was a big no of course. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Both of them were well aware.
After all, everybody knew his highfalutin status!
“So, can you understand?” Dorothy asked carefully
But Evereti didn’t say another word.
He buttoned up his shirt before she could apply the medicine, and left the room straight away.
Dorothy could only sigh as she watched his retreating figure.
She hoped that Everett could keep his possessiveness over Heather in the future! She also wished he could realize that she was not Heather but just a low status stand–in
Everett never came back after he left. Dorothy washed her face and sat back down at her desk to work

“Give me the parts you’ve checked and you’ve got three days for the rest! Since your you can. Ill mention your contributions to Mr Lopez when the time comes.”
Dorothy gave him a thumbs up, but there was something she didn’t understand

“Mr. Lopez’s decision?”
“Yeah! I’m just a secretary, no matter how important I am, I can’t decide who gets to join the project.”
Dorothy frowned slightly, “He asked for me spezfically?”
“Uh–huh,” Kewin nodded. He was puzzled about this too. “But I think he might feel sorry for you. He knows that you’ve had a tough lime in the investment banking world and wants to help you out a bit! If you are in Lumina Bay, your contribution could be recognized more legitimately”
So that’s it. He felt sorry for her.
“Dorothy don’t overthink it. In our line of work, performance is what speaks. It doesn’t matter where you come from, it’s not like we’re choosing a crown princess! Mr. Lopez always appreciates those who are serious and responsible at work. He’s probably looking out for you because he sees potential in you!”
She smiled, “He and I were classmates so he knew all about my family s about. Instead, I should be thanking Mr. Loper
situation back in middle school. I don’t have much to think
After Kewn left, Dorothy returned to her room, feeling a little empty inside.
She couldn’t quite put her finger on why
She picked up her phone, thought for a while, and sent a message to Karen.

Everett was even getting jealous over her as Heather’s stand in.
Karen replied almost instantly
[Of course! Isn’t that obvious? The two are directly proportionall He must be crazy in lovel
