A stern warning jolted Dorothy awake.
How could she be so sure that Everett would turn a blind eye to her application just because they had slept together?
She shouldn't forget that he paid for that. It was a transaction, after all. There was no room for emotions.
"Nothing more. I’m sorry for bothering you, Mr. Lopez." She quickly hung up the phone, not waiting for his response.
This felt like a slap in her face.
Meanwhile, Mr. Percy got the news and stormed into the room, fuming.
"I told you it wouldn't work, Dorothy! Who do you think you are? Do you think I can trust you again? I did this time, and now look what happened!"
As Mr. Percy began to berate her, Karen rushed over to defend Dorothy. "Mr. Percy, Dorothy's mother just had an accident. Can you cut her some slack?"
"Cut her some slack? Who the hell is going to cut me some slack?" Mr. Percy slammed his hand on the table. "Alright, Dorothy, don't say I didn't warn you. The SinoSuccess Enterprises project was your request. If it's not launched, you can pack your bags and get out!"
Dorothy rose from her seat and bowed deeply. "I apologize, Mr. Percy. I won't give up on the SinoSuccess Enterprises project."
"You better not be blowing hot air!" With that, Mr. Percy stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Karen was even angrier than Mr. Percy. "Don't be afraid of him, Dorothy! If it comes to it, we can just quit. I'm with you!"
"I'm fine." Dorothy took a deep breath, adjusting her state of mind. She turned her gaze back to her computer. "I must secure the SinoSuccess Enterprises project. I need to regain the dignity I lost today."
Suddenly, the office phone rang. Dorothy answered it. It was a familiar voice.
