Everett took a deep breath. "Let's wait a bit more." Maybe he was being too impatient.
The next morning, their assistant came to take them to the airport.
The whole way, he was busy discussing business matters with the shareholders. He didn't even have time for a sip of water. It wasn't until they were on the plane that he finally got a chance to lean back and catch a break.
Dorothy wouldn't disturb him. This was the perfect time for her to check out the information Kevin had sent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe further she delved into the project, the more questions she had.
The prospects for the energy-saving company were indeed promising, but did it really require the grand CEO, Everett, to personally take a business trip to Havenbrook? Even if the investment doubled or tripled, it wouldn't be enough to stir this big shot.
He must have other things to deal with.
The flight from Eldorria City to Havenbrook took three hours. Dorothy had already taken several pages of notes, and the man beside her was still asleep.
Who knew what time the late-night meeting ended last night? However, it seemed like it was enough to make him very weary.
After landing, Everett slowly opened his eyes with his eyebrows furrowed. "We're here?" "Mm-hmm." Dorothy quickly handed him a cup of warm water. "You didn't eat anything this morning, and you've been sleeping till now. Your stomach might hurt later, so have some water first." He took it and took a sip. "Thanks." "Don't mention it." After saying this, she started to gather her materials.
This natural interaction between the two was exactly what Everett wanted.
He didn't like how cautious Dorothy was around him. She was always looking up at him like how a subordinate would look at a superior.
After getting off the plane, the CEO of Social Networking Service personally came to the airport to welcome them. There were even local media waiting at the entrance of the hall to take photos.
As soon as Dorothy saw the cameras, she promptly stepped behind Kevin to lower her presence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mr. Lopez, your presence has made Havenbrook shine today.” "You're exaggerating. I'm a native of Havenbrook. It's only right to support my hometown." Only Everett could make such a formal statement sound so pleasant.
The media started taking pictures of him, and for some unknown reason, Dorothy secretly took out her phone and snapped a photo of Everett's back.
He was wearing a light-colored trench coat with a dark blue suit underneath, making him look tall and straight. He looked like a star posing for a photo shoot. His simple attire gave off an air of luxury, and his every move exuded refinement.
This man, whether in his student days or after entering society, was always at the top of the pyramid. It seemed like he was destined to stand at the peak and look down on everyone else.
Soon, Everett was escorted into a car. Dorothy saw this and quickly picked up her laptop to follow Kevin.
Before she could even take a step, she heard Everett's voice.
"Dorothy, ride with me." Upon hearing this, the people present inevitably shifted their gaze to her.
To avoid causing any further speculation, Dorothy quickly put on her 100% professional assistant smile and walked over. "Sure thing, Mr. Lopez!" After finally getting in the car, she let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the man beside her wasn't taking a nap, Dorothy lowered her voice and said, "You keep calling my name. They'll notice me!" She didn't understand why Everett wanted to call her out so publicly. Wouldn't this affect his reputation? "Are you afraid of being seen?"
