Kevin had finally caught on.
A simple "I don't know" seemed to be his get-out-of-jail-free card for just about anything.
How else was he supposed to help Mr. Lopez cover up for his little escapades? God forbid their stories didn't match up. That would spell disaster.
"Fair enough."
Dorothy probably didn't think too much into it.
After all, schmoozing was Everett's least favorite activity. If there was any chance to shove it off onto Jeffrey, he'd take it in a heartbeat!
So, the moment he wrapped up at the office, he'd be home.
"Is Ms. Sanchez worried Mr. Lopez is out there chasing skirts?" Kevin couldn't help but chuckle.
Dorothy waved the notion away, "Oh, I don't worry about that one bit. Everett's not that kind of guy. It's just... getting used to being a wife, you know? After years of flying solo, having a partner around is still something I'm adjusting to. But Everett... he gets upset if he thinks I don't care about him."
The man actually wanted to be kept in check!
If he came home late and she didn't ask where he'd been or what he was up to, he'd sulk.
Claiming she didn't care about him anymore. That he wasn't in her heart.
Kevin burst out laughing, "So Mr. Lopez is basically a big kid behind closed doors."
"And you're just realizing this after all these years?"
"Well, it's not that. It's just... Mr. Lopez always struck me as the aloof type."
Who would've thought he was anything but the strong, silent type?
This behind-the-scenes persona was a far cry from the Mr. Lopez everyone knew.
"I used to think the same," Dorothy pondered aloud. "Even back in junior high, he was quite the reserved one!"
"Was it Mr. Lopez who didn't talk, or you who didn't talk to him?"
"...A bit of both."
Back in her school days, Dorothy's mind was solely on her studies and making money.
She wasn't looking for trouble!
And Everett? He was quite the figure in school. Getting too close meant risking being cornered by jealous classmates after school. No thank you.
