    Chapter 19


    A stern warning jolted Dorothy awake.


    How could she be so sure that Everett would turn a blind eye to her application just because they had


    slept together?


    She shouldn’t forget that he paid for that. It was a transaction, after all. There was no room for


    emotions.


    “Nothing more. I’m sorry for bothering you, Mr. Lopez.” She quickly hung up the phone, not waiting for


    his response.


    This felt like a p in her face.


    Meanwhile, Mr. Percy got the news and stormed into the room, fuming.


    “I told you it wouldn’t work, Dorothy! Who do you think you are? Do you think I can trust you again? I


    did this time, and now look what happened!”


    As Mr. Percy began to berate her, Karen rushed over to defend Dorothy. “Mr. Percy, Dorothy’s mother


    just had an ident. Can you cut her some ck?”

    “Cut her some ck? Who the hell is going to cut me some ck?” Mr. Percy mmed his hand on the


    table. “Alright, Dorothy, don’t say I didn’t warn you. The SinoSess Enterprises project was your


    request. If it’s notunched, you can pack your bags and get out!


    Dorothy rose from her seat and bowed deeply. “I apologize, Mr. Percy. I won’t give up on the


    SinoSess Enterprises project.”


    “You better not be blowing hot air!” With that, Mr. Percy stormed out, mming the door behind him.


    Karen was even angrier than Mr. Percy. “Don’t be afraid of him, Dorothy! If ites to it, we can just


    quit. I’m with you!”


    “I’m fine.” Dorothy took a deep breath, adjusting her state of mind. She turned her gaze back to her


    computer. “I must secure the SinoSess Enterprises project. I need to regain the dignity I lost today.”


    Suddenly, the office phone rang. Dorothy answered it. It was a familiar voice.


    “Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez asked you toe to his office.”


    He was back from his trip?


    Dorothy ascended the stairs in her high heels, arriving at the CEO’s office.


    She knew Everett had no obligation to give her any favors at work, so she had no right to hold any


    emotions against him.


    Knock, knock.


    To her surprise, a woman’s voice answered from inside.


    “Come in.”


    She stepped in, but Everett was nowhere to be found. Only a woman holding a wine ss was present.


    The woman was beautiful and radiated unbreakable confidence from the inside out. She was wearing a


    high-end pale purple dress that entuated her graceful figure. She carried an air of elegance simr


    to Everett’s.


    What really took Dorothy aback was her face. It bore a striking resemnce to her own.


    “Who are you?” The woman was also surprised to see her.


    “I’m Dorothy from the Prosperity Consortium’s investment team. Mr. Lopez asked me toe.”


    “Oh.” The woman, Heather, pointed towards the dressing room. “Everett is changing. Please wait a


    moment.”


    Dorothy nodded. In the next second, she heard Everett’s icy voice. “She’s only fit to be a substitute.”


    Substitute…
