NovelEnglishAt that moment, Quincy couldn't shake off a feeling of surrealness.
She had thought it impossible to drive a wedge between Everett and Dorothy, not even the slightest chance.
But who would have thought? Where there's a will, there's a way.
Quincy snapped a photo of the jacket in her hand and sent it straight to Dorothy.
"This jacket belongs to Mr. Lopez. We spent all of last night together. If you know what's good for you, you'll give up on him! This is your last warning." Satisfied after seeing the message sent, she left the hotel with the jacket in hand.

Once the design was set, the construction team got to work.
It was all thanks to Everett for sending Kevin over to help. Initially, Dorothy wanted to handle everything on her own without Everett's aid but... sometimes, you've got to swallow your pride.
"I've gotten in touch with the office supplies manufacturer that Lopez Corporation always works with. We can check out the samples this afternoon, everything from desks and chairs to stationery." Kevin sent Dorothy a contact number, thoughtfully including the prices as well.
With such dedication, what employer wouldn't love to have him? "How's the dating scene going for you? If you need to go out on dates, just let Everett know. It's a once-in-a-lifetmatter, can't be put on hold." Dorothy was genuinely concerned that Kevin might end up alone.

"Met someone, it was okay," Kevin chuckled. "I'm just an ordinary guy, not as handsor wealthy as Mr. Lopez, so it's good if someone takes an interest in me." "How can you say that? Anyone would be lucky to have someone as attentive as you." Kevin might not have been striking, but his clean, business-like appearance was certainly appealing.

Perhaps standing in Everett's shadow had left him feeling somewhat inferior.
But then again, who wouldn't feel overshadowed next to Everett? There aren't many like him in the world.

"We... were together all of last night..." Dorothy furrowed her brows, unintentionally reading the message out loud.
Then she screenshot the message and sent it to Everett.
"Were you with Quincy all of last night?" Who was the man who had kept her busy for hours, from the bedroom to the bathroom? "Innocent! Where are you? I'll explain in person." Everett replied quickly.
One would think he was holding his phone all this time, just waiting for her message! Dorothy got into her car, started the engine, and didn't look at her phone again.
But a minute later, the phone on the passenger seat began to ring off the hook! Wondering what could have possibly happened, she found a place to pull over and checked her phone It was Everett.
"What's going on?" "Dorothy, didn't do anything with Quincy I swear! I didn't touch her at all. That jacket was bought separately and I only wore it once. It was intentionally left belongs to Content
