"Don't worry! I won't let your stuff get messed up on my watch." But...
Jeff could already foresee the moment Karen found out Everett had "ditched" Dorothy, he'd be caught in the middle, squished like a sandwich! She'd spend the day ripping into him, finding fault in everything about him! Watching Everett walk inside, Jeff finally headed back to his car.
Thinking about all this mess, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his buddy.
Sometimes, Jeff felt both sympathy and frustration! Out of all the women, Everett had to fall hard for the most complicated one! If it were any other girl, Everett wouldn't have to be so proactive, treading on eggshells; he could just snap his fingers, and women would be throwing themselves at him! But then again...

"Ah, it's all fate!" Without any clue about Everett's whereabouts, Dorothy felt like a small boat adrift at sea, aimless and soulless.
She messed up the documents Austin asked for.
The files her assistant sent her? She had no idea where she put them.
Sitting in front of her computer, staring at the Lopez Corporation's software, she noticed President Everett's account was offline.
It had been so long, she wondered if he had managed to catch a wink of sleep.
Was there anyone by his side, comforting him? She remembered how devastated she felt when she found out Bella had passed away, as if nothing else mattered, as if she had lost her reason to go on! If it weren't for the pregnancy discovery, her depression might have overwhelmed her already.
Dorothy couldn't focus on work, and after sthought, she told Austin she wasn't feeling well and asked for the day off.
He could tell she wasn't up for it and advised her to rest well.
Rest well.
How could she close her eyes? Holding her phone in the office, Dorothy wrestled with her thoughts for a long tbefore she finally mustered the courage to call Everett again. ŚwThis time, it went straight to voicemail.
That must mean he was sleeping! Somehow, that gave her a bit of relief.
UMS Ready to leave, she bumped into Kevin right at the doorway.
Dorothy hurriedly rushed a few steps to stop him, "Kevin! Wait up." "Ms. Sanchez, need something?" When Everett was unavailable, Kevin was always swamped with work.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah." She nodded, "I have a favor to ask. Can you letknow e Everett is when you get in to wheret swno him?" Kevin paused, pointing upstairs.
with "Mr. Lopez? He's in his office! But I think he's resting, I didn't dare go in." "Alright, got it." Hearing Everett was in his office, Dorothy quickly headed to the executive floor on the elevator.
She knew the passcode to Everett's office, so the door was no barrier to her.
Dorothy tiptoed inside and, sure enough, saw Everett's tallslumped on the sofa, asleep despite the uncomfortable position, seemingly exhausted. S The moment she saw him, Dorothy's heart settled.
She walked over, picked up a blanket, and gently covered him.
"Dorothy..." Suddenly, Everett murmured in his sleep.
It was just a dream.
