Chapter 1123

Kevin let out a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the world.

"Mr. Lopez, always thinking about Ms. Sanchez first," he mumbled under his breath.

Sometimes, witnessing the love between Mr. Lopez and Ms. Sanchez made Kevin swear off love for good. Falling hard for someone meant your heart was no longer yours to command, and the endless sacrifices that followed seemed like a steep price to pay.

Kevin had convinced himself that staying clear of love was his ticket to survival.

"By the way, is Dorothy wrapping up her project soon?"

"Yeah." Kevin nodded, "Everything is pretty much done. If all goes well, Ms. Sanchez won't even need to come to the office anymore. Mr. Lopez, do you need her to..."

Everett waved him off, "No, let's not have her come in for now. Best to minimize our encounters for the time being."

"Got it." Kevin couldn't help but probe a bit further, "And... what if Quincy wants to see you? Should I bring her up?"

"No, not her either," Everett replied, knowing all too well how suspicious Quincy could be.

If she sensed anything out of the ordinary, she'd be on high alert in no time.

So, Everett decided it was best to keep things as they were, not getting too close, yet making sure she could reach him if needed.
