That distinct scent of his enveloped her, offering Dorothy an endless sense of security.
"Why didn't you givea heads up?" Dorothy pouted.

"You're doing surprise checks onnow?" "Of course! With all these rivals around, who knows if Kenneth Nelson hears about your new venture and comes running to help, trying to sweep you off your feet!" That got Dorothy laughing.
"So, what you're saying is, unless Kenneth is married, you're going to be on guard against him no matter what?" "Even marriage wouldn't cut it." It's not like Kenneth never had a girlfriend. Still ended up the same, right? Dorothy lifted a finger to poke his side, "Jealous much?" "Absolutely!" "Childish!" "Guilty as charged." Everett had cto realize that persistence was indeed effective.
After all, why bother with pride in front of his woman? "I'm done here. How about we pick up Abigail and Langston together?" "Kevin's on it. They prefer him picking them up anyway. We might as well do something else." Dorothy was puzzled, "Why's that?" "Because of your daughter, of course. Kevin's always got candy in his pockets." She found it both infuriating and hilarious! Going forward, Abigail's et dating life would be a breeze-whomever had the most candy would win her What a silly girl.
Content Everett, holding Dorothy's hand, led her outside, magically producing two movie tickets from his jacket pocket. "Would Ms. Sanchez honorwith her company at a movie?" Dorothy took the tickets, glanced at the time, "You bought these in the morning? Been a slow day at Lopez Corp?" Everett lightly tapped her forehead, "Way to kill the mood! I always have tfor you." But truth be told, he owed his current leisure to Dorothy.
During her absence, apart from work, he had little else to console him, so he took the chance to get ahead on sprojects. Now, he could afford this free time.
"Well, alright, I'll join you for a movie! But once Ms. Sanchez takes her seat, I won't have tfor these outings." "That's no issue. Eldorria City's
business scene is bustling, and there are plenty of opportunities not yet o'm linked to Lopez Corp Can represent Lopez Corp and talk business with your company directly! Ideally, we wrap up just in tto clock out." Dorothy grimaced.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was exactly what she was afraid of! "Everett, I want to succeed on my own merit. Please, don't interfere too much."
"Why shouldn't Lopez Corp collaborate with a powerhouse like yours? Ms Sanchez isn't this business discrimination?" Dorothy looked up at him. Just as she was about to roll her eyes, Everett pinned her against the elevator wall for a kiss.
Luckily, they were alone.
Dorothy's cheeks flamed red as she pushed him away, "What are you doing? There are cameras!" "Is it illegal? And since when are we camera shy?" "...Why must you always have a comeback?" Everett wasn't always like this!
"So, it's fine for you to learn from Karen Miller, but I can't pick up a few tricks from effrey?" He nodded solemnly Maybe if I'd listened to Jeffrey sooner, adopting a bit of his rogue charm, you would've been withsince middle school.
