Chapter 25
“Yes.” Dorothy didn’t hide her eagerness. “Our team 3 suffered a blow with the Harmony Ventures incident this year. It hit our year-end bonuses hard, but I see it as an opportunity, and I want to grab it.”
If she could secure the SinoSuccess Enterprises project at this time, rescuing her team from disaster, Mr. Percy would certainly be happier and appreciate her more than ever.
Everett looked at her, his lips twitching slightly after a while. “Headquarters is planning to pull a few people from the Prosperity Consortium for financial training.”
“Can I go?” Dorothy almost immediately asked.
“Hmm, if you behave, I’ll consider it.”
“Mr. Lopez, I will definitely listen to whatever you say!”
Was this even a question? Even without this issue, she, as an assistant, had to listen to the boss.
“I remember telling you not to call me Mr. Lopez at home.”
She froze.
He raised his eyebrows.
After a long time, Dorothy very awkwardly squeezed her leg, whispering, “Everett…
Everett seemed pleased. His eyes looked relaxed as he stood up. “Go get ready: I’ll have my secretary inform Mr. Percy. After the training, you’ll know how to handle the SinoSuccess Enterprises issue.”
With that, he walked back to the master bedroom to change for work.
Dorothy watched his tall figure, contemplating what was going on.
Just calling him “Everett” made him this happy?
The issue with the person in charge at SinoSuccess Enterprises didn’t blow up, so no one in the company knew.
This gave Dorothy a sigh of relief.
She didn’t want to recall this experience, nor did she want to repeat it to anyone, then have to force a smile to accept their possibly well-intentioned comfort.
After the morning meeting, Karen rushed to her office. “How did it go? Did the talk with SinoSuccess Enterprises go smoothly?” “The person in charge had some issues, so it’s on hold for now.”
“You’ve been so unlucky lately.” Karen patted her shoulder. “How about we go to a nearby church this weekend?”
Dorothy thought for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.”
Although she didn’t believe in God, her mother’s surgery was approaching, and she thought praying wouldn’t hurt. It could at least provide some psychological comfort.
While they were talking, Mr. Percy walked in with a weird expression. “Dorothy, when did you sign up for the training at headquarters?! saw it was posted on the website at seven something in the morning, and I received your acceptance news at eight-thirty.”
“I saw it while having breakfast and just applied.” Dorothy didn’t expect Everett to move this fast.
Couldn’t he wait a day or two to accept her? Wasn’t this suspicious?NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“I don’t know what the selection process at headquarters is, but since they chose you, get ready to go.” Mr. Percy didn’t want to say another word to Dorothy. He left as soon as he finished his sentence.
Karen made a face at his retreating figure, then shook her head smugly. “Look, we haven’t even prayed yet, and the God has already shown his power.”
Dorothy suddenly wanted to laugh.
This wasn’t the God showing his power; it was Everett showing his power.
At the same time, in the CEO office.
Everett, who had just finished a meeting, sat in his chair, rubbing his temples.
There was a pile of data reports in front of him; each one needed his personal review. At this time, Jeffrey came knocking on his door.
“Mr. Lopez, if you want to bring that little assistant over, isn’t it as easy as snapping your fingers? Why did you need to go to the Lopez Corporation official website and create this financial training scheme?”
He nearly laughed his ass off when he saw this post on the computer.
“Let me guess, you must still be in the honeymoon phase of this relationship. You’re still on a high, so you want to have some adult fun with the little assistant on your huge office desk, huh?”
