Everyone subconsciously assumed that Heather, as the Chief Legal Officer of the Lopez Corporation, couldn't possibly have any designs on a mere assistant.
But what they didn't know was that Dorothy was more than just an assistant. She was the apple of Everett's eye.
Heather would even prefer to be an assistant, just to be that special someone to Everett.
"Jeffrey, don't talk nonsense. I didn't." "Well, say what you will, but it's all set in stone now. Everett and Dorothy are not getting back together." Jeffrey felt a certain discomfort in his chest whenever he thought about his buddy failing to win back the woman he loved.
Before, he didn't know how much Everett loved Dorothy. He thought it was just a fling.
When he courted women, he'd sweet-talk them and be gentle and considerate, but he never thought about the long run.
But Everett's love for Dorothy could only be described as undying.
"They're definitely not getting back together?" "Of course! Dorothy got married and even had a kid after leaving Everett. How could they possibly reconcile?" In Jeffrey's eyes, Dorothy was diagnosed as infertile, yet she tried to have a child for her husband. That must be true love.
Heather's voice suddenly rose. "Dorothy had a child?!” "Yeah, the kid is two years old now. Counting the time, it means she never stopped after leaving Everett and became pregnant not long after remarriage.” In contrast to Jeffrey's belief, Heather was skeptical.
"Are you sure Dorothy has a child?" "Why would I lie about that? You're not planning to make a move on her again, are you?" "Not at all; if she's really done with Everett, then I have no issues with her. But..." Heather paused, then whispered, "This kid...
You're sure it's not Everett's?" Given the way they were in love, Heather had to harbor this suspicion.
"It's not. I'm sure Everett hasn't seen her at all these past few years, let alone had any relationship with her. For a long time, Everett tried every channel to find Dorothy, but to no avail." So as long as Dorothy's child was two years old, it definitely wasn't Everett's.
All this information came from his good friend, Lane, who surely wouldn't lie to him, right? "I see, then I can rest easy.” Heather wasn't as easygoing as Jeffrey. She had to be absolutely sure that this child had nothing to do with Everett.
"You should stop focusing so much on Everett and think about yourself." Jeffrey said and hung up.
A smirk pulled at Heather's lips as she dialed Maxton’s number. She asked him to subtly inquire about Dorothy's child.
At the airport.
It was finally time for Dorothy to board the plane. She quickly boarded and sat down to call Kenneth.
"I'm about to take off. I'll be out of touch for a few hours, but if you find Langston, please text me right away so I can see it as soon as I land." "Alright, I've already contacted the local police. They're conducting a large-scale search.” "Thanks, Kenneth.” Kenneth's voice was filled with guilt. "I can't even keep an eye on a kid. I feel terrible.” "Don't say that; it's not your fault that Langston ran away. I know how good you are to him." Dorothy never doubted this for a second.
