"I know you've got the kids' backs, I'm not worried about that."
"Then why?"
Dorothy sighed deeply, "After everything that's happened, I just don't see things the same way anymore. I'm not big on planning for the future, that's all."
"Really?" Everett held her gaze, the panic and evasion in her eyes not escaping him.
"Really."
"Then follow my lead. You don't have to plan a thing, and I'll handle it." He took Dorothy's hand and gently massaged it. "Trust me this once, okay?"
She nodded, "Alright."
She trusted him to take care of the children, trusted that he wasn't the kind of man Maxton was! Even if she had to burn bridges with the Lopez family, causing a huge rift and potentially damaging the Lopez Corporation, she believed he wouldn't drag the two kids into it.

Karen had fallen asleep on the plane. She was too exhausted.
Jeffrey, sitting in the seat in front of her, had also pulled an all-nighter, but sleep eluded him!
He didn't get her WhatsApp or her phone number.
He boarded the plane with the intent to go toe-to-toe with Karen, but upon seeing her so tired that she was tearing up, her eyes bloodshot, he just couldn't bring himself to continue.
He knew all too well how rough last night had been.
Finally, the plane began its descent into Eldorria City Airport.
The captain's announcement woke Karen up. She yawned and stretched, sitting up to find a shadow blocking out all the light, casting darkness around her.
Karen frowned and looked up.
"Mr. Turner, we're in the country now. Can we not drag Swevia Country's business over here? Your persistence almost makes me think you like me!"
Karen's words were off-the-cuff, but they struck Jeffrey like a gong, leaving his head ringing.
But that wouldn't stop his quick wit.
"Don't flatter yourself. Who would like you?"
Ugh! Jeffrey wanted to slap himself for that one.
But Karen didn't get angry. Instead, she laughed, "That's more like it! Since you don't like me, let's agree not to see each other again! I promise you; I won't breathe a word about last night to anyone, and I certainly won't brag about sleeping with you, Mr. Turner. Is that good enough for you?"
"No, wait. Maybe I'm just not thinking straight because I haven't slept. Come back to my place first, let me get my thoughts in order, and we'll talk!"
"No way!" Karen's refusal was as straightforward as ever. "We're already in the country. You can call up a girl right now; it's not hard, Mr. Turner. Have you forgotten this isn't Swevia Country? This is Eldorria City! Your turf! Go find your lady love, your soulmate!"

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....
