    to tie up all loose ends at work


    Before she left, she had to tie up


    She always finshed what the started.


    Dorothy had been hunched over her desk for hours. When she finally lifted her head, it was already two


    in the morning.


    Her neck felt stiff from the strain, and she decided it was time for a break.


    Absentmindedly, she picked up her phone and saw a message from the driver in case she lost his


    contact information, she left a note for him in WhatsApp


    [Headed to Havenbrook City for work?)


    Although Dorothy was puzzled by the question, she still replied (Yes, I’m going to Havenbrook City for a


    business trip]


    Only after she sent her reply did she realize thete hour. It was well past midnight, and the driver,


    given his age, was likely fast asleep.


    After stretching her stiff limbs, Dorothy returned to herputer and was surprised to see a WhatsApp


    message from the driver.


    She checked the time. It was hall past two in the morning.


    Oh, safe travels |


    A rueful smile appeared on her face. His message warmed her heart


    The way she and the driver had met might not have been ideal, but he seemed like a good person. The


    unexpected kindness from a stranger was a refreshing experience


    Thank you! I update you when I’m back]


    She set down her phone and took a deep breath


    Given thete hour, it seemed impossible to finish her work tonight. Tomorrow, she had a meeting and


    contracts to renew Plus, Lane had mentioned that the investors would be sending overwyers. She


    needed to be alert and on her toes. She didn’t want to look like she had just woken up. That wouldn’t


    leave a good impression.


    On the other end, Everett stood by the floor–to–ceiling window in his dark robe, rereading the message


    on his phone


    Had their conversation ended just like that?


    Why did it always feel like he was the one ending their exchanges?


    He was about to type a message but stopped himself,


    In waste. He was certain that Dorothy was probably going to sleep


    Everett set down his phone and took out a bottle of wine from the cab. His sleep quality had been


    deteriorating, and he needed the slight butto help hem fall askep

    Just as he was pouring the wine, his phone began to ring. At this hour, the call could only be from his


    patents.


    He picked up his phone after filling his ss. Mom”


    “Did I hear that you’re giving Heather a hard time at thepany?”


    Everett frowned. “If the Lopez Corporation starts to ept people without due process, it will set a bad


    precedent”


    “Others are others, Heather is Heather She has done so much for the Lopez Corporation, everyone


    knows that it would only be normal if she were parachuted into the legal department or even the board!”


    Amanda’s tone was dripping with indignation it was as if she were more of a mother to Heather than to


    him “I don’t think it’s about setting a precedent, is it? If it were Dorothy parachuting in, I bet you would


    be apuding!”


    The mention of Dorothy made Everett’s heart skip a beat.


    Her name held such power over him that merely hearing it made him react


    “What does Dorothy have to do with this?”


    “Then tell me who you are marrying in the announcement you made. You didn’t even discuss it with


    your parents! You just went ahead and announced your marriage like it was nothing! Did you think
