Jeffrey had once caught a glimpse of it, something so rare it left even him in awe.
Karen, with a mix of curiosity and disbelief, shifted her gaze from Jeffrey to Dorothy. "It's already in XL, and still tight? Wow, just how big are we talking?"
She even swallowed hard after saying that, causing Jeffrey's face to darken like a thundercloud.
"Karen! Are you saying I'm not... well-equipped?"
"Enough, enough, I was just curious, that's all!" Karen realized she might have bruised his ego and quickly waved her hands in dismissal. "I always said Mr. Lopez must be packing a serious punch. Just look at the guy, he's built like a linebacker."
Dorothy's cheeks flamed with embarrassment, wishing to be anywhere but this conversation.
But Karen wasn't done, patting her on the shoulder, "Girl, you're one lucky lady!"
"Dorothy, I just remembered I've got something urgent at home. Karen and I will head out first!" Jeffrey said, practically dragging his wife away before his pride could take another hit. If he stayed any longer, he might just have to drop his pants to prove a point—that not one of his exes had ever complained about his performance!
...
After sending off those two whirlwinds, Dorothy, cheeks still burning, hurried to the bedroom to tie up and dispose of last night's trash.
She pondered a moment before securing the rest of those...items. If she kept up with Karen's plans, she wasn't sure about the success rate, but exhaustion was a definite outcome.
With her tasks completed, Dorothy finally sat down for breakfast. Everett's note was still on the table, his handwriting exceptionally neat at the signature.
She carefully stored the note away before starting on her breakfast.
As she ate and browsed the day's news, she read about a company in Eldorria City whose stock had plummeted following a scandal.
"Ms. Sanchez," he greeted with a smile, then corrected himself, "Actually, I should start calling you Mrs. Sanchez now! Look at me, always forgetting."
She was no longer the rookie who had followed him around at the Lopez Corporation, eager to learn.
"Let's stick with the old title. It reminds me to never forget where I started," Dorothy replied with a smile. "I plan to mentor more people, to pass on what I've learned."
"That's the spirit! Most companies wouldn't take newbies straight to the field to see potential deals, let alone cover all project-related expenses. You're a true leader."
"I learned from the best at the Lopez Corporation," Dorothy said, her voice softening at the mention of Everett. "He always said it was the fastest way to boost the team's practical experience."
Kevin nodded in agreement, "If only all bosses were as insightful as you and Mr. Lopez!"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
