If it were anyone else, they'd have to land a fortune from Everett big enough to make a Rockefeller blush!
Austin wasn't just being a Good Samaritan when he nudged Dorothy to make use of her situation. A lot of it was him seeing a golden opportunity to get a foot in the door with Everett through her!
Schmoozing a bit here and there, and who knows? He could be up in the high society ranks in no time.
Back at East Star Enterprises, Austin had made a pretty penny, but that money was pocket change compared to the wealth of the Lopez Corporation!
In case Everett saw his ability to work and appreciated him a little bit, how much would he earn in the future? Well, he didn't even dare to think about it!
"Hey, thanks for the heads-up, but I just want to make an honest buck without sucking up to the big boss," she said.
Truth be told, she wanted out of the Lopez Corporation if she could.
"Could you maybe, you know, get me some face time with Mr. Lopez?" Austin finally laid his cards on the table. "You help me now, and I swear I won't forget the favor if I strike it rich!"
Dorothy could only smile and nod. "Sure, if the opportunity arises."
Seeing her response, Austin didn't push further, just patted her on the shoulder to let her know she should seriously think it over.
Having survived the most awkward part of her day, Dorothy looked forward to diving into the project files that afternoon. Maybe she could get on-site the next day, avoiding bumping into Everett in the office.
But no sooner had she settled into her new office than Kevin knocked on the door.
"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez wants you to join him for the afternoon."
Dorothy frowned, puzzled. "Why me?"
