StarNovelDorothy thought that after turning Stephen down, he would take the hint and back off. But the very next day, he didn't even bother to text her on Whatbefore showing up unannounced at her office door.
"Ms. Sanchez, do you have a moment?" His voice preceded his presence.
Looking up from the price list she was scrutinizing, Dorothy caught sight of him standing just outside her door. Stephen had clearly made an effort today, dressed to the nines in a sharp suit, and it seemed he'd even spritzed on scologne—a scent that wafted her way as she approached.
But no matter how dapper he appeared, Everett firmly held the title of 'best-dressed'. At least in Dorothy's heart, that was an unshakeable truth.

Clutching a few sheets of paper in his hand, Stephen revealed his concerns about the project, all neatly written out.
"Yeah, could you take a look at this and maybe clear up sthings for me? Austin's tied up today and isn't in the office, so I had no choice but to cto you," Stephen said, flashing what he believed to be his most charming smile.
Any other woman might have swooned by now; after all, his looks were above average.
But Dorothy? She barely glanced at him, her focus fixed on the content of the papers.
Truth be told, Stephen was nitpicking. A little thought and he would have grasped the issues at hand, especially since Dorothy had already annotated the documents thoroughly to ease the transition for the new director.
"Mr. Stephen, haven't you managed a project before?" she asked, looking up at him.

"Mr. Stephen, I really shouldn't be questioning your capabilities. After all, if the higher-ups at the Lopez Corporation entrusted you with this project, you must have sexceptional qualities. But... seeing the questions you've brought to me, I can't help but wonder if you're either lacking in professional knowledge or if this is skind of ploy?” “I—I'm just getting to grips with the project; that's why I'm a bit unfamiliar." "Too unfamiliar to understand a product pricing sheet?" Dorothy pointed at a line on the document. “That shouldn't be the case, Mr. Stephen.” Stephen hadn't expected her to be so forthright and felt a twinge of embarrassment. He knew his question was a stretch, but wasn't it all just an attempt to get closer to her? "Maybe I was careless, didn't look closely enough. I'll go over it again," he conceded.
"I've annotated everything that could be annotated. If you still don't understand, Mr. Stephen, I suggest you ask Austin. If he can't explain it, tell him to cto me." Dorothy didn't have tfor Stephen's subtle advances. Her rejection was clear as day.
