Stephen's eyes bulged in shock! "East Star Enterprises got bought out because of Ms. Sanchez?" How ludicrous! "Yep, all because of her," said Austin.
Stephen blinked and then laughed, waving his hand dismissively. "Come on, Austin, you're laying it on thick! Even if you don't want me to go after Ms. Sanchez, there's no need to scare me off!" "Hey, you think I'm trying to scare you?" Austin smacked his lips. "Then go ahead, give it a shot. | wish you luck, man." As long as it doesn't affect the fourth project team, that's cool.

Truth be told, she didn't have much to pack. After all, she knew when she joined the fourth project team that she'd be leaving in six months.
Once everything was packed, Dorothy wasn't in the mood to eat. She decided to just sit in her chair and check her phone.

"What's up?" "How can you be so calm? Brace yourself because what I'm about to tell you is big news!" Dorothy's brow furrowed slightly. What was with the mystery? "Go ahead, I'm ready.” "Everett! He actually sold Bay Residence! The buyer finalized the payment today, and | saw the transaction on Jeffrey's account with my own eyes!" "Oh, didn't you already tell me about that?" Bay Residence was a peaceful and spacious place, a real gem, so it was no surprise it sold easily.

That seemed about right. Bay Residence held too many memories of her and Everett.
Each and every one now felt like they were fresh in her mind, though things had changed.
"Karen, | told him to move on and stop wasting his energy on me." *% ., Kd
