Chapter 1191
Quincy's mention of compensation for Dorothy flew under everyone's radar.
But then, Dorothy actually got a call from her.
"What the hell do you want, Dorothy? Spill it all now and then stay the hell away from Mr. Lopez, forever!" Quincy's tone was that of an elite socialite dealing with her husband's affair – authoritative and dismissive.
I'll give her that; she had more presence than Heather ever did.
No surprise there, considering she's a Caldwell. And it's clear why Jonathan Lopez fell for her.
"I want shares in the Lopez Corporation. Can you afford that?"
"And what right do you have to the Lopez Corporation's shares, Ms. Sanchez? Let me remind you, you're divorced from Mr. Lopez. You're an ex now. We're willing to give you a settlement, and you should be grateful for that."
The way she used "we" was rather telling.
Dorothy lounged on her couch, flipping through design drafts on her laptop, chuckling, "With an ex as wealthy as Everett, I'd be foolish not to ask for more! Dr. Quincy, you're after Everett's wealth too, aren't you? Is that why you clung to him, breaking us apart?"
"I am not the other woman! Mr. Lopez left you because you insisted on dragging him through court, even when his mother was on her deathbed! Don't pin that on me."
"Would that have happened without you stirring the pot?"
"I didn't! Mr. Lopez barely talks to me! I didn't have the chance!"
"Oh, is that so?" Dorothy mused, smacking her lips. "So, Everett doesn't even like you. You're the one throwing yourself at him."Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Sensing Quincy was about to explode, Dorothy leisurely added, "Here's what we'll do. Draft a list of what you and Everett are willing to offer me. Then, I'll consider whether I'll agree."
After hanging up, Dorothy sighed deeply.
Pretending to be someone she wasn't was exhausting.
She constantly had to be on guard, afraid of slipping up.

"You're already providing the business space. If you handle the design too, you might as well be the CEO."
Everett actually gave it a serious thought and nodded, "That's not a bad idea."
"Dream on! I finally have a chance to be on equal footing with you. I'm not handing it over."
Though her "CEO" title was nowhere near as prestigious as the one at Lopez Corporation, it was something.
"Then how about I give you my position at the Lopez Corporation, and I take over as your company's CEO?"

Everett pulled her close, nuzzling her ear.
"Alright, I'm curious to see what position you'd offer me."
After pondering, Dorothy clapped her hands together, "You know, there's actually a spot open that needs filling!"
Everett had a sinking feeling.
"How about being my assistant, Everett?"
