Chapter 855
Everett took off to Liberty City the next day with Abigail and Langston in tow.
Dorothy''s life suddenly felt like a throwback to her days at the Prosperity Consortium. Her world
narrowed down to her apartment and the office — a very predictable routine.
Only on weekends, there was no longer a need to visit Be at the hospital.
The Lopez Corporation''s projects were moving along as scheduled. Sure, there were hups here
and there, but nothing that teamwork couldn''t iron out.
Before she knew it, winter had given way to a stealthy spring.
Eldorria City''s weather couldn''t make up its mind, swinging from rain to snow, leaving everyone
baffled about what to wear.
Karen''s baby bump was starting to show, and she had put on a noticeable amount of weight. She
was the picture of a little mama-to-be, hands constantly supporting her lower back as she walked.
Her wedding with Jeffrey was postponed. There was no helping it; they didn''t want to wear her out,
and the doctor advised bed rest during this critical phase of pregnancy.
"Dorothy, why don''t youe over for some barbecue after work today?" Karen''s voice came
through the phone.

Even with the doctor''s orders to rest, Karen couldn''t sit still.
If she couldn''t go out, people would just have toe to her!
Dorothy answered the call while printing out thetest project report, ready to submit it shortly.
"I might bete today. You and Jeffrey start without me!"
"We haven''t seen each other in a week, and I miss you! Juste over; I''ll wait up no matter how
late," Karen whined.
Boredom was her constantpanion these days. Even with Jeffrey''spany, seeing the same
handsome face day in and day out could be tiresome.
"Alright," Dorothy couldn''t resist her friend''s pleading. "If you get hungry, eat first. I''ll contact you
after work."
"Deal!"
After hanging up, Dorothy handed the printed documents to Austin.
"Everyone''s been working hard on the project. There''s been no dy, and I''ve made sure the
progress reports are urate."
Austin nodded, giving the papers a cursory nce before fixing his gaze on Dorothy. "Say, Ms.
Sanchez... you''re about to resign, right?"
Dorothy paused, then nodded. "Yes, but it''s not for a while yet. Why do you ask?"
"Well, just checking! After all, we need someone to fill your shoes, right? What''s going to happen to
the project otherwise?"
"Thepany should appoint a recement," Dorothy affirmed. Everett... he must be aware of her
resignation date.
"That''s the usual procedure, but so far, there''s been no word! And considering you''ll be leaving
soon, we''re still in the dark," sighed Austin.
He then added in a negotiating tone, "Ms. Sanchez, how about this? If thepany doesn''t send a
recement by the time you''re set to leave, would you stay on and oversee the project until they
do?"
Dorothy frowned slightly. "That wouldn''t be appropriate. Once I resign, my contract with the
company is terminated. I shouldn''t be involved in the project as a director. If you''re worried about
the transition, it might be best to inquire about thepany''s ns in advance."
"Alright then," Austin conceded, seeing her determination. "You can get back to your tasks. That''s
all for now."
"Okay."
Leaving Austin''s office, Dorothy returned to her desk and noticed a new WhatsApp message on her
phone screen.
It was from Keh.
[Dorothy, I''m going on a blind date today. Do you think this girl and I look like a match? My mom
insists we''re meant to be!]
She opened the photo and looked.
The girl in the photo had a gentle demeanor with a clean, sweet smile.
[Keh, you better make the most of this. She seems perfect for you, and your mom''s right!]
[If you say so too, then I''ve got to spruce myself up. Here''s hoping I can bring her home and make
her my wife.]
