Dorothy had no doubt in her mind about Everett's sincerity. Unfortunately, the real culprits behind all this mess were his parents, not Heather.
"I said I wanted to see him alone."
She had decided not to lean on Everett for support.
"Alright... I'll wait outside for you."
Everett stepped back, watched her enter the building, then turned to lean against his car. He pulled out a cigarette from its pack, placed it between his lips, and lit it.
His phone buzzed with a stream of work emails.
Most of them were urgent, but Everett couldn't possibly leave now!
[Meeting postponed. You need to get the documents stamped. Tell them you have my approval.]
[Understood, Mr. Lopez.]
Kevin was meticulous and rarely made mistakes. Everett trusted him.
Everett got a cushion from his car and found a step to sit on. Lowering his gaze, he began to reply to the messages that needed his immediate attention.
Before long, Kevin was on the phone again.
"Mr. Lopez, are you not coming back to the office today?"
With a cigarette between his fingers, Everett took a drag. "Not sure. Proceed as if I'm not."
There was a pause on the other end before Kevin acknowledged.
"If there's something on your mind, just spit it out." Everett knew Kevin had something more to say.
