She wrapped up her workload, and it was nearly time to clock out. Just as she was about to leave, her phone buzzed with a call from Kenneth.

"Dorothy, you off work yet?" "Almost! What's up?" "My girlfriend wants to meet you and Karen. And with Karen being heavily pregnant, it's not easy for her, so | was thinking... How about you join us for dinner?" Kenneth's tone was casual, as if completely wrapped up in the throes of love.

"Then there's no need to ask. | can't guarantee that the other party won't find out.” "Okay, then don't bother. Thanks anyway, Ephraim! I'm heading out."

Ephraim watched her sudden arrival and swift departure, baffled.
