NovelAmazoneIn a moment that had everyone at Trust-E, including Dorothy and her colleague, bursting into laughter, it seemed like the tables
had turned in Trust-E's favor.
Who would have thought? In a city like Eldorria, brimming withpanies and projects clamoring for a collaboration with Trust-E!
But Dorothy, keen on stepping out from under the shadow of the renowned Lopez Corporation, had specifically chosen this project
in Everglow City to test the waters.
And yet, there were those who failed to see a good thing when it was staring them in the face.
"If you all feel this is too much of a stretch, then perhaps we should call it off," Dorothy said, ready to leave. The male project lead,
unable to swallow his pride, blocked her way, fuming.
"Walk away just like that? You say no to collaboration, and that's it? What about the tyou've wasted for ourpany? You owe
uspensation!"

Before Dorothy could retort, she felt a pair of familiar hands on her shoulders.
Instinctively, she wanted to shrug them off.
But then, the distinctive presence of Everett quickly enveloped her...
pensation, you say? I'll wire it directly to yourpany account," he said, subtly positioning Dorothy behind him, ensuring
her safety first and foremost.
The project lead, recognizing the support Dorothy had but unable to place the man, decided not to back down.
"How much, then? It better be worthwhile!"
Dorothy tried to speak, but Everett caught her eye, then appeared to ponder seriously for a moment. "About twenty million, give or
take."
"Twenty million?!" The man's voice pitched high, incredulous at Everett's proposal, "Are you pulling my leg here? Twenty million in
Dorothy was taken aback herself.
She looked up at Everett's stern face, realizing he wasn't joking.
"Oh, not for the inconvenience. This would be... for acquiring yourpany," Everett said, gently stroking Dorothy's hair. "Since
you're so keen on this project, Ms. Sanchez, how about | acquire it and you discuss the contract directly with me?"
Silence fell.
Dorothy couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.
"How manypanies do you plan to acquire for me? Are you going to buy out everypany Trust-E wants to partner with?"
"It depends," Everett mused, then corrected, "On your mood, actually. Any project you're interested in but not the people
negotiating, I'll take over and deal with you directly."

With that, Everett was ready to leave, the project lead stumbling behind in confusion.
"Wait, who are you? With such bold claims of buying ourpany for twenty million?"
Dorothy remained silent, while a colleague from Trust-E couldn't help but smirk at the project lead’s bewilderment.
"Letintroduce you," they said, "This is Mr. Everett, CEO of the Lopez Corporation."
The man's knees went weak.
No wonder he looked familiar!
No wonder he could so casually talk about acquiringpanies.
"Why didn't you say Trust-E was associated with the Lopez Corporation earlier?"
He wouldn't have made such a blunder!
"It's not too late to find out now. Better start looking for a new job," Dorothy's colleague quipped.
