PopularNovelDorothy shot Everett a playful glare, "Well, for all my being a director, it pales in comparison to your big shot CEO title, huh? Just a letter's difference, but worlds apart." "What do we do then? Should I step down and let you take the reins as CEO?" "Don't! I was just kidding." Despite his words, Everett didn't stop the task he was engaged in.
"I heard from Kevin that you're really serious about starting your own business." Dorothy had mentioned it before, but Everett had his reservations. He secretly wished Dorothy would stay with Lopez Enterprises, so he could always have her close.
If she ran her own company and got swamped with projects, she'd hardly have tto chome.

"Yes! That's what I want." Everett's fingers paused for a moment before he softly replied, "Okay, then. I'll keep an eye out for a good location for your company." "No need! I want to do this on my own, without distracting you from your work." "You're starting a business but won't lethelp in the slightest. Who do you want help from then?" She almost blurted out a nbut quickly covered his mouth.
"Can you not act like you're always out of vinegar? Nobody would believe this about you!" The CEO of Lopez Enterprises, privately green with envy, over something that had absolutely nothing to do with Kenneth! "Isn't it because he's always lurking around you?" The thought of Kenneth, ever-watchful, gave Everett a headache! The man was like a bad penny - always turning up. Always finding an opening.
"Kenneth means well, you know. You don't have to be on his case all the time." Dorothy felt there was no need for this, "Look, there's never been anything between us beyond friendship. You can't be this wary of every friend I have, can you?" "I can." Dorothy wanted to keep Kenneth as a friend.
Kenneth had other ideas! Everett patted his thigh, signaling her to sit on his lap, and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"I have my reasons for being jealous." "Yes, Mr. Lopez, you're always right! Now, you let go of me? I Che many suitcases are still left to O unpack." Dorothy finished, but Everett didn't let go.
"You!" He simply scooped her up and deposited her on the bed.

"What kind of logic is that? I never said that! Get up, we still haven't finished unpacking!" "Unpacking can wait. I've got you to take care of first."
Everett's kiss was possessive, his hands pressing her closer to him, nearly suffocating her. "Mmm.."
A slight pain mixed with an unusual sensation made Dorothy instinctively tighten her grip on his arm. "It hurts, it still hurts..." "My technique isn't great, but I'll get better with practice." His strength soon coaxed tears from Doroth eyes, her eyelids tredness, her bottering? with delicate trembling lightly.
