"What's up?" Dorothy asked almost reflexively.
"Something really important."
That answer was as good as saying nothing.
Dorothy rolled her eyes and took a seat, "Why all the secrecy? You're even keeping me in the dark?"
Everett chuckled, "I'm not keeping secrets from you, it's just not the right time for you to know."
"Alright then." She didn't press further, completely trusting him.
After playing with Abigail and Langston for a while, Everett went to tuck them into bed in the kids' room before heading back to the master bedroom.
Dorothy was busy giving instructions to a subordinate, gesticulating with her hands as if the other person could see her.
He smirked, grabbed a dark-colored bathrobe, and headed into the bathroom.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.
"Everett, are you done showering?"
He immediately turned off the water, wrapped himself in a towel, and opened the door, "What's up?"
Seeing Everett shirtless, Dorothy paused for a moment, her cheeks flushing a deep pink, "I, uh, wanted to ask you something about work…"
"..."
He thought she was feeling unwell or something.
"You go ahead and shower. We can talk after!" Dorothy said with a suppressed smile, turning to iron Everett's suit for the next day.
Watching her small figure confidently head into the walk-in closet, he felt at ease and returned to the bathroom.
He casually checked his phone, finding several unread messages.
【Mr. Lopez, everything has been arranged as you instructed.】
【Mr. Lopez, I've retrieved the item from the safe. I've checked it thoroughly, no damage or stains.】
Everett's eyes lit up as he replied to each message.
