Caught off-guard when she was called, Dorothy quickly typed a response on her keyboard.
The Fourth Project Team Director Dorothy: [Nothing, carry on!]
This was totally unexpected. She had never used the listen-in feature during previous meetings; it was always a direct link to the online conference room or an invitation to join. Now, she found herself eavesdropping for the first time without an invite!
Had she known it would turn out like this, she would have steered clear at all costs!
But now that Everett had mentioned her by name during the conference, she feared that if she left the room within five minutes, it would be announced!
Crashing the meeting was already conspicuous enough; leaving now would surely turn her into the talk of the town among her colleagues.
Left with no other choice, Dorothy leaned back in her chair and decided to brazenly watch Everett leading the meeting, detailing the new project's direction.
Everett truly had a knack for business. Many projects, often seen as risky or unfavorable, never lost money under his watch!
This resulted in numerous companies secretly taking cues from the Lopez Corporation. Any sign of movement from Everett, and they would swiftly follow suit, investing in similar ventures.
"In the domestic market, for at least the next five years, growth will revolve around renewable energy. So, that direction is a safe bet. The main thing is the details. Due diligence must be thorough, especially in confirming the other party's financial stability. We don't want to end up having to bail them out halfway through the project."
His voice was quite appealing—deep with a gravelly texture, rich yet not overly mature.
Still, Dorothy preferred the sound of his voice first thing in the morning. Raspy, with a youthful timbre, like dual tracks running in harmony.
An hour later, the meeting finally ended. Dorothy was automatically booted from the conference room.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when her phone began to ring.
Recognizing the number on the screen instantly, she answered, "Hello..."
"You needed me?"
"No, just clicked in by accident."
As soon as she said it, she wanted to bite off her tongue!
Conference room channels were password-protected! Accidental entry was impossible!
