She later decided to drop the issue because she didn’t want to cause her teacher trouble. She wasalways afraid of causing others trouble. The teachers at school had already taken good care of her, soDorothy fell she was the least entitled to be picky.

“Did that include you?”

Kevin asked this question while turning his gaze to her face at the same time.

Dorothy shook her head the whole time. “It didn’t In middle school, besides going to class, I had to workin a B&B in the morning and worked the night shift in an internet cafe after leaving the library. Myschedule was even tighter than it is now!”

Thinking about it, this was probably why the homeroom teacher felt it was okay to let her sit next toEverett

Any other girl would probably be so infatuated that she wouldn’t have the heart to study

“Huh? How old were you in middle school?”

“Still gotta be a breadwinner regardless of my age, right?” Dorothy shrugged. She w rather thanbecoming trapped in the shadows of her childhood.

was just glad she trudged through all the difficulties

Things could get worse if she did that. After all, trapping herself in couldn’t bring her the power sheneeded.

Kevin looked at her. He couldn’t help but admire the girl in front of him.

“Keep at it. Youre definitely going to make it in investment banking.”

“Yeah!” She thought so too.

The plane landed at Lumina Bay Airport. Someone was already there to pick them up and take themdirectly to the hotel

Kevin didnt even have time to rest before he started working.

Dorothy put down her luggage. She didn’t have any work assignments so she went to the window aftertidying up and looked at the scenery below

It was so beautiful!

The whole place was filled with high-rise buildings that she couldn’t afford.

She opened her phone and saw a WhatsApp message from Karen Miller

[Sweete, I always feel like something is off about the way you talk about that man. I must remind youagain, dont fall for guys like that. You’ll be the only one who gets hurt in the end!

Fall for him?

Dorothy sighed and replied, “Don’t worry, there’s a world of difference between him and me. Therewon’t be any story and I’m very clear

about that.”

After sending this message, she got up to pour herself a glass of water. When she came back, Karen’sreply almost made her drop her phone.

[Don’t tell me this guy is Mr. Lopez]

Dorothy realized she really wasn’t good at lying or hiding anything.

Afraid of giving herself away, she decided not to reply.

As it neared evening, Kevin came and knocked on the door, placing a car key in her hand, “You drive tothe airport now. There’s still time, just take it slow”

‘Now?!”

Wasn’t it supposed to be Tuesday?

“We’ve run into some problems with work here so Mr. Lopez has pushed it forward a day! Don’t wasteany more time. Go now, you’ll be delayed on the road”

Kevin left in a hurry after saying that, not giving Dorothy any chance to argue

Left with no choice, she could only brace herself and take up this task.

On the way, Dorothy comforted hersell

Everett probably wouldn’t come to Lumina Hay alone.

His’assistant always accompanied him on business trips, and there was also Heather Garcia She hadgone to Verdant City with Evere and should be coming back with him!

15.08

She would never get the chance to talk to Everett if his true love was also amund,

After giving herself a solid pep talk, Dorothy parked the car and walked into the arrival hall.

It was quite easy to spot Everett among the crowd.

As always, he was very conspicuous with his tall figure. His presence was strong just by standingthere.

He was wearing a dark suit, his shirt and tie were ironed and tidy. The way he casually rolled up hissleeves exuded a natural sense of nobility and ease.

Dorothy put a hand on her left chest as she watched.

Because her heart just skipped a beat.
