Chapter 1225
That was his ultimate reason for coming today.
"You want me to work for you?! I'm your rival in love!"
Everett tapped his fingers lightly on the table, chuckling softly, "There are many who fancy Dorothy, but none can truly claim to be my rival." Byte 7's eyes widened, "Why?"
"Because in Dorothy's heart, there's only ever been room for me."
"...Aren't you just the cheesiest?" Even Byte 7 couldn't stand it anymore, "No wonder Langston said he's had enough."
Just sitting here for a while, and he's already fed up!
"But it's the truth."
"I'll head over to Lopez Corp, aren't you worried I'll be all over Dorothy?"
Everett spread his hands, "She's left Lopez Corp."
"That explains your generosity! And here I was thinking you were being kind-hearted." Byte 7 leaned back as he spoke.
Given that he's a gaming addict, he's rarely sitting up straight - it's either leaning or slouching for him.
But facing Everett, there's this inexplicable feeling of being in a business negotiation, and that he has to listen!
Damn it.
That instantly puts him at a disadvantage.
"You might want to think it over, then get back to me."
"I won't do it! Who would work for a love rival? Wouldn't that be humiliating?" Byte 7 was quicker to refuse than anyone, not even giving it a second thought.
Everett didn't insist, only saying lightly, "No need to come into the office, an annual salary of over thirty million, just providing technical guidance online, with occasional requests to attend meetings at the company." "...Don't try to tempt me with money, I'm not short of it."
"Then consider it unsaid, Julian."
He stood up and walked away.
Behind him, Byte 7 blinked rapidly, hurrying after him, "Everett! How did you know my real name?! Impossible, I've erased all traces, did you guess?!"
He smiled, "Yes, guessed."
Seeing Everett about to leave, Byte 7 quickly stopped him.
"Tell me how you knew my name, and I'll consider whether to take the job at Lopez Corp!"
"Lopez Corp has been secretly developing a network system that can trace anyone's digital footprint, capturing them as long as they've appeared online."
"Really?"
"Fake."
Byte 7 was speechless.
"Anything else? I'm quite busy."
Everett had already reached out to open his car door.
Byte 7 reluctantly let go of his pride,

"Fine, report to HR at eight tomorrow morning."
Watching Everett's car drive away, Byte 7 felt something was amiss.
What did he come here for today?
Dorothy had nearly finished ordering office supplies.
With Kevin overseeing, she really didn't need to worry too much.
After transferring the funds, Karen called.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Dorothy! Where are you? I want to come see you!"
"You should just stay put, you little mom-to-be." Dorothy laughed, "How are you feeling? Still dealing with morning sickness?"
"Not at all, I hardly feel anything this time!"
"That's good." Dorothy was relieved.
But then Karen wailed, "You have no idea how bored I am. Jeffrey won't let me go out! I'm going stir crazy! I was hoping to chat with you."
"I'm at a construction site, the
company's being renovated, and I'm
supervising the work." Dorothy had
stepped outside to take the call, "How about this, I'll check with Everett if he's free, and we can both come visit you."
She was in a delicate condition, and Dorothy wouldn't want anything to happen to her!
