Chapter 874


    The day Dorothy left the Lopez Corporation, she rose with the sun. She wanted no fuss, no fanfare.


    Catching a cab, she headed straight to the office. Bypassing her usual workspace, she made a


    beeline for the HR department to formalize her departure.


    "Ms. Sanchez, just fill out this form, and you''ll be all set," said the HR assistant, sliding a piece of


    paper across the desk.


    Dorothy nced at it - a standard exit survey for employees choosing to leave thepany.


    "Alright," she said, taking the pen and methodically filling in each section.


    The assistant watched her curiously. "If you don''t mind me asking, Ms. Sanchez, why are you


    leaving the Lopez Corporation?"


    Dorothy hesitated, searching for a diplomatic answer. "It just doesn''t feel like the right fit for me."


    She couldn''t very well say that she was about to sue thepany’s CEO’s family and it was no


    longer appropriate to stay.


    "You know, in all my time here, you''re one of the few who''ve chosen to leave voluntarily."


    Dorothy''s pen paused as she offered an awkward smile. "Yes, it''s quite rare to leave the Lopez


    Corporation."


    The perks here were second to none - great benefits, a dynamic work environment, and plenty of


    opportunities for advancement.


    Landing a job here was no small feat. Who would willingly walk away?


    If it weren''t for her connections with Everett, Dorothy might have needed years, maybe even a


    decade, to gain enough experience to be considered for a position here.


    She finished the survey and reached the final section: suggestions for thepany.


    Dorothy pondered for a moment, then wrote slowly: [May Everett always find peace and joy.]


    ...


    Leaving the building, Dorothy''s heart was a mix of heavy and light.


    Her phone rang; it was Karen.


    "Dorothy, I have a prenatal appointment today. Will youe with me?"


    "Me? What about Jeffrey?"


    "I don''t want him toe. We''re not on the best terms right now!" Karen didn''t mention to Dorothy


    that their argument was mainly about Everett. She reminded herself never to bring up anything


    about Everett around Dorothy again.


    Dorothy paused, not pressing for details. "Okay, I''lle and get you."


    "Now? Aren''t you working today?"


    Dorothy sighed. "As of today, I''m officially no longer with the Lopez Corporation."

    Karen was taken aback. "So, yourwsuit is going to court soon?"


    "Yeah."


    "That''s great, you''ve finally reached this day."


    Dorothy''s smile was forced, and she quickly changed the subject. After hanging up, she hailed a


    cab to Jeffrey''s ce.


    Expecting to find Karen and Jeffrey in the midst of a cold war, Dorothy was surprised to find Jeffrey


    at home, trying to make amends.


    "Please, let mee with you! I want to hear our baby''s heartbeat!"


    "No need, Dorothy''sing with me!"


    "It''s not like one more person will hurt! I''ll just stand there and be quiet, okay?" Jeffrey pleaded, his


    pride scattered like dust at their feet.


    As soon as Karen saw Dorothy, she rushed over. "Dorothy, let''s just go."


    Dorothy felt awkward. "Um... maybe Jeffrey should go with you? I just remembered I have


    something else to do."


    "Exactly, I''ll go with you! Don''t bother her, Karen. I''m sorry, okay? From now on, you''re my number


    one, Evere..."


    Jeffrey''s words were cut off as Karen mped a hand over his mouth.


    "Don''t you dare mention that name in front of Dorothy!"
