Everett was used to waiting for Dorothy.
He had been doing it for years.
As the sunset started to fade, Dorothy looked up at him.
All those years and it seemed like time hadn't touched him. Look closely. He's still got that boyish charm.
"You should smile more. Stop looking so serious."
"All right," Everett nodded. He waited for Dorothy to get in first before he took the driver's seat.
He didn't bring his assistant today, which made Dorothy feel like they were just an ordinary couple going home after work, cooking dinner, and falling asleep in each other's arms.
However, Everett was anything but ordinary.
Dorothy wanted to ask about his mother, but she couldn't bring herself to.
She didn't want to break the peace of their little world.
Back at Bay Residence, Everett changed into something more comfortable and headed for the kitchen, followed by Dorothy.
"Let me cook tonight. You can go and take a break."
He always said he was not tired, but the weariness on his face said otherwise.
Dorothy knew how much work he had to do for the Lopez Corporation, yet he still managed to find time for her.
"I want to spend more time with you." Everett didn't leave but continued chopping vegetables.
Dorothy smiled and joined him, enjoying their quiet time together.
Their peace was short-lived, however, as the doorbell rang.
Everett paused, glancing at Dorothy, who hesitated.
"Should I hide? Is it your family?"
"Okay." Everett agreed it was best not to let the two women meet right now.
After watching Dorothy walk back to the kitchen, Everett opened the door.
But he didn't invite Heather in. He just stood in the doorway.
"What is it?"
"Your father told me you agreed to pretend to be my boyfriend."
Everett frowned. "I didn't say that."
"Oh, then forget I came. He said you agreed and asked me to go with you to visit your mom at the hospital. If that's not the case, I'll leave." With that, Heather turned to go.
Suddenly, Everett stopped her.
"Heather, Jeffrey said I should respect you for your contributions to the Lopez Corporation."

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....
