Chapter 317
“No, don’t touch that project. I don’t want anyone else on it either.”
Kevin was finding Mr. Loper’s instructions increasingly baffling. But if he insisted, there had to be a reason.
“Alright, rest assured. I’ll keep a close eye on iL‘ Kevin continued to report his research findings. “Also, the person you referred to
me, a certain Emmett, is
a project assistant at Fast Starr Enterprises. He’s a recent recruit. He’s a bright graduate from an elite university
“Is he single?”
Kevin hadn’t anticipated Mr. Lopez wanting him to investigate
At first, when he saw Emmett’s profile, he assumed Mr. Lopez was considering poaching him for the Lopez Corporation.
1 believe so” After all, the guy was still quite young. He was only a few years out of college. It was unlikely he’d already be
mantied.
1 don’t want you to beleve: I want you to confirm ”
Everett hung up and began rubbing his temples.
He thought back to the prenous night, when he saw them together. Seeing them together alone stirred up an inexplicable sense
of displeasure in him...
Wasn’t Dorothy supposed to be with Kenneth?
Why was Emmett now in the picture?
Everett had clearly heard the pair discussing returning to the hotel together.
The more he thought about it, the more irked he felt. He sent Dorothy a message.
Ms. Sanchez, I’m sorry but I’ve gotten lost agan, Can you take a call?]
She responded in no time
I’m sorry, I can’t night now. I’m at a restaurant discussing business over dinner Can it wait?
Everett replied instantly [With a man?]
He realized too late that he shouldn’t have asked that. Just as he was about to delete the message, it was clear that Dorothy had

[Yes, why?
Why?
She actually asked why?!
Everett felt a throbbing in his temples.
Had she not learned her lesson from before? She was during to dine with a man for business matters again?
This time, Everett didn’t beat around the bush with Kevin and called him directly. Find out which restaurant Dorothy is at
“Ms. Sancher is in Havenbrook City?”
Kevin suddenly understood it all.
His boss had been acting secretive these past few days, leaving Kevin puzzled. It seemed it was all because of Ms. Sanchez.
His recent instructions had been rather strange.
Tim on it
In the restaurant, Dorothy checked her phone for the third time
The driver had disappeared after asking his question.
Why was he curious about the gender of her business partner? Could it
With that thought in mind, she scanned the room
“Ms Sanchez?” Gabriel poured her a glass of wine and interrupted her trance.
Dorothy quickly smiled. Tim sorry, I’m a lightweight. I’m feeling a
Tipsy after just one glass.
Upon hearing this, Emmett immediately reached for her wine glass. I drink for you for the rest of the evening”
It was clouded over with displeasure.
1 was bonding with Me Sanchez Who are you?” Gabriels face instantly Dorothy didn’t want to upset anyone from Verity Holdings
Limed on her first day
So, she picked up her glass and proposed a toast. “Don’t be upset. He’s just worried that have a headach of me at the office.
