At this moment, the silhouette of Eldorria City Airport loomed in the distance through the airplane's window—a stark reminder that Jeffrey's time was running out.
He knew that if he let Karen leave without snagging her contact information, it would be game over. Whether they'd cross paths again was a matter left to fate. Hoping for a lead from Everett was a fool's errand. That guy was all about his girl, Dorothy, playing the lovesick puppy in front of her. Even with his big-shot role as CEO of the Lopez Corporation, he constantly worried about tripping Dorothy's temper. And reaching out to Dorothy herself? Fat chance! She'd already made her stance clear; she wasn't on board.
"You don't have to head back with me right off the bat. What do you say we grab a bite after we land? I rushed to the airport to catch you and haven't eaten a thing. I'm starving."
Jeffrey reached out, but Karen deftly sidestepped him.
"Can't do. Someone's picking me up."
"Who? A guy or a girl?" Jeffrey's alertness spiked instantly.
Karen frowned, finding him to be a real piece of work. "What's it to you?"
He grabbed her wrist, halting her packing efforts. "I'm asking you. A guy or a girl?"
"A guy, okay? Happy now?"
A guy? Some dude was picking her up!
"And who might this guy be to you?" He couldn't hide the sourness in his voice.
Karen paused, gesturing to the flight attendant who looked rather uncomfortable, "Mr. Turner, we're about to land. Can you please take your seat?"
"Sir, please return to your seat," the flight attendant added, urging him along.
With the presence of an audience, Jeffrey had no choice but to go back and sit down obediently.
Karen had just stowed her eye mask and travel pillow back into her carry-on when the plane touched down smoothly.
She had managed to get a decent amount of sleep during the ten-hour flight and felt refreshed. Her mind was already wandering to the sumptuous meal she'd enjoy with Kenneth and the two munchkins. She had to make sure Kenneth got the bill good and proper.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying with us. We have now landed at Eldorria City Airport…"
The announcement began to play overhead.
With the phone call over, Karen's step quickened.
But not a few paces later, she felt someone tug at her carry-on from behind!
Turning around, she was met with Jeffrey's glowering face.
Shoot, she'd forgotten all about him.
"Mr. Turner, something else you need?"
Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed, and he raised an eyebrow. "Finished with your call?"
Karen nodded, "Yeah."
"So, you're going to stay with another man tonight, huh?"

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....
