Jeffrey used to think Everett was a block of stone. He seemed like he was as hard as nails, resembling a monk who detached himself from worldly desires. He thought he was uninterested in any kind of woman, be it a mature beauty, a cute girl, or a model.
But now Jeffrey realized that he was not that stubborn. It just depended on the person.
Even he had his own ways of picking up women.
He even insisted on tagging along when Dorothy was going to meet a manager. The big shot CEO of the Lopez Corporation actually insisted on escorting her?! He said if anyone found out, they could just say that they happened to be discussing work in this cafe.
What a joke!
"Do you have anything important to do?" Everett never responded to such banter. He was always focused on work.
Jeffrey huffed a few times and deliberately went over to disturb him. "Yes. I came to ask you why you suppressed the workplace harassment issue with the manager of SinoSuccess Enterprises. This scandal could have been used as leverage to make the CEO of SinoSuccess Enterprises obediently sign the contract."
Everett's pen paused in his hand, and he frowned.
"Then Dorothy would be drowned in spit."
This was about a girl's reputation. Although he hadn't lived at the bottom, with a little thought, he could foresee that if this matter got out, the employees of the Prosperity Consortium and SinoSuccess Enterprises would definitely gossip about it. The so-called truth would be distorted, and the focus would inevitably fall on Dorothy being harassed.
Could Dorothy clarify this issue herself?
