"It really depends on how much Ms. Sanchez is willing to pay. That'll determine how much work I'm willing to put in." "Getting coffee, making copies, can you handle that?" When she first started at The Prosperity Consortium, that was all she did! "Of course." Everett didn't hesitate.

Dorothy raised an eyebrow, "Sendyour resume, and I'll look it over." "Sending a resis no problem, but I haven't finished telling you what else I can do! Five grand seems a bit low, considering I could also take on sside gigs." "You have no idea how busy fetching coffee and making copies can keep you at the office! You think you'll have tfor side gigs?" Being an assistant wasn't as easy as it sounded.
He'd always been at the top, so he probably thought it was a breeze! But in reality, it was not just busy and troublesome, it often felt like a thankless job! "What about after work?" "You'll be too tired! But go on, what kind of side gig are you thinking about?" Dorothy thought he'd mention something like janitorial work, but then she caught Everett's mischievous gaze.
Lately...
That look had been all toomon! Even if Dorothy didn't want to know, she could guess.
"I could also, you know, keep youpany at night. That's quite the physical job, not much lighter than being an assistant." Everett's voice dropped, his smile one of easy familiarity.
Now he could talk about such things without a hint of embarrassment or awkwardness! Gone was the man who blushed at the slightest thing.

You nee know, to buy stuff to keep my strength up?" "Then you don't have to do it!" Dorothy's face flushed, and she reached to push him away, only to have her wrist firmly caught in his grasp, "Everett, what on earth are you thinking about now!" What happened to the aloof CEO? The man of few words, Mr. Lopez? "When you're in my arms, what else could I think about?" Hearing this, Dorothy immediately tried to escape his embrace, only to hear him grit his teeth and hiss. "Stay still!" "If you don't wantto take you right here, don't move. Just letcool down." Dorothy's face was no longer just flushed; it was positively crimson! She was both embarrassed and annoyed.
"How can you always think about this!" Their conversation was perfectly wholesjust a moment ago! At what point did it take this turn? "It means I'm healthy." "Do all men think like you?" Dorothy remembered a piece of trivia she had read, suggesting that menoften thought about these things when they had a moment to themselves. Everett frowned at that, "Other men? Who else are you curious about?" Dorothy pursed her lips, feeling the conversation veering off into strange territory again! Luckily, a phone call saved her.
It was Karen.
As soon as she answered, she was greeted with sobs.
"Dorothy! Jeffrey is such a jerk!"
