"Everett, cut the crap!"
The man on the receiving end of the scolding just shrugged nonchalantly, pinching out the last embers of his cigarette.
"I'm just weighing my options here, seeing if a peck on the cheek is worth getting bitten."
Dorothy pretended she hadn't heard his blasphemous remark and kept her gaze fixed firmly on the pavement ahead.
But Everett had a dead-serious look on his face, as if he were negotiating the finer points of a business deal. "Is there a limit to the number of kisses per day?"
Dorothy struggled for a response.
She was convinced that Everett was possessed or something.
...
The news of Dorothy returning to work at Lopez Corporation spread quickly, reaching Heather's ears as she clocked out from the legal department.
Heather was rooted to the spot, her mind racing. As soon as she heard the news, she knew that Everett never had a new bride; there was only ever Dorothy, his lingering old flame!
She hadn't even sorted things out with Jeffrey, and now there was a new complication.
In the midst of her irritation, her phone suddenly rang.
A strange number flashed on the screen.
Heather was tempted to ignore it, but worried it might be critical information from the other side, unsuitable for the regular contact number.
Moreover, as it was her personal phone and outside of working hours, she didn’t think it would be unacceptable to answer the call.
Hesitating for a moment, she finally pressed the answer button.
A male voice came from the other end, "Is this Heather Garcia?"
"Yes, it's me. Who is this?"
