"Capitalism is so terrifying. I can't shake the feeling I'm caught in sgrand scheme!" Everett spread his arms wide, a mischievous grin on his face. "Guilty as charged. I've been scheming to win you over for years." She could not help but laugh. "And to think you've been waiting all this time, Mr. Lopez. It must've been exhausting." "Not really. The chase makes the victory all the sweeter." Dorothy playfully smacked his arm. "You should go find Jeffrey! I need to call Karen back, and then let's all have dinner together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeffrey's been to Swevia Country and practically kidnapped my best friend. He definitely owes us a meal." Everett nodded with a chuckle. "Sounds like a plan." Jeffrey was in his office, animatedly recounting the day's conference room to Karen.
His expressions were over the top, spittle flying with every word! "I always knew Everett had a soft spot for Dorothy, but I never expected him to throw away all his principles!" Karen was equally surprised and itching to witness the scene herself—the top brass at Lopez Corporation, slack-jawed and wide-eyed, probably wondering if Mr. Lopez had been possessed. It would have been quite the spectacle.
"Would you answer my call during a meeting like that?" "Like today?" Jeffrey asked.
Karen nodded.
Jeffrey pondered for a moment. "I'd probably stand up and step out to take it. I mean, with everyone there and Everett chairing the meeting, answering right there wouldn't look great." Seeing her silence, Jeffrey quickly added, "Don't be mad. How about this? I promise I'll do the snext time, okay?" Karen could not help but feel exasperated at his jittery reaction.
"Why would I be mad? I fully support your dedication to work, and I think your approach is right! Jeffrey, you and Everett are different." If Everett did something outrageous, it would simply prove his deep love, putting Dorothy above all else.

"Why do I feel like you're not exactly praising me?" Jeffrey murmured, a hint of annoyance in his tone. "Do you think I'm less because I work under Everett and am not the CEO?" "Where is this coming from?" She asked. "Because you said we're not the same." Karen shook her head. "Of course, you're not. Just focus on doing well at Lopez Corporation. Everett's already given you plenty of freedom." Jeffrey stood up from his office chair and walked over to take Karen's hand. "If you want to be a CEO's wife, I can start my own company!" He was just lazy, enjoying the easy life under Everett's wing, but that did not mean he lacked the ability.
Karen quickly waved the idea away. "Do you think being a CEO is easy? Look how busy Everett is! If you had to handle all that, could you manage?" Jeffrey puckered his lips, squinting with a playful smile. "I could, but then I'd have no tfor you." "So, stay with Lopez Corporation." "Karen," Jeffrey suddenly called her nsoftly, "How about you cwork at Lopez Corporation? Be my secretary. We could stick together all day, and you could keep an eye onevery minute!" Work at Lopez Corporation? Karen paused, then declined gracefully.
"Let's not. I'm not qualified enough." "Be my secretary. I'll be the one who decides if you're qualified. And I think you're perfect for it." At the Lopez Corporation, choosing his secretary was indeed within his freedom.
"Let's talk about it later." Right now, Karen definitely could not join the Lopez Corporation. X
