“What? Say that again!”
Jeffrey’s voice boomed through the room, startling the manager to the point where he nearly thought his eardrums would burst.
“He... he just told me that.”
The manager was on the verge of tears. It wasn’t his choice to set up this blind date!
Jeffrey clenched his fists, storming toward Karen’s parents’ apartment door.
He hammered on the door, and there was Karen’s dad again.
Seeing another unfamiliar face on his doorstep, her dad looked cautious; he was sizing up the tall young man before him.
“Can I help you?”
“Karen’s going on a blind date?” Jeffrey had lost all sense of rationale, not caring about the harshness of his tone.
Derek scrutinized him for a few seconds and looked defensive, “What’s it to you?”
“Give me her cell number.”
“Son, if don’t even have Karen’s number, that must mean she doesn’t want to give it to you. I don’t know what you are to her, but my daughter isn’t home. If you have business, wait for her to come back.”
Jeffrey tried to speak again, but Derek had already shut the door.
He considered knocking again but knew it was pointless. Besides, Karen wasn’t there.
Jeffrey descended the steps, finding the manager still trembling in anticipation.
“Mr. Turner…”
“Just go, it’s none of your business anymore.”
Frustrated, Jeffrey slumped into his car, yanking a cigarette from the pack to light up.
“Nice move, Karen! Really smooth!”
She actually went on a blind date!
She actually went on a damn blind date!
Jeffrey punched the steering wheel, his teeth grinding audibly.
“Gorgeous! My daughter looks beautiful in anything.” Karen’s mom, Serena, wore an indulgent smile.
How could she not dote on her only daughter, who was always the apple of her eye?
“Alright, I’ll wear this tonight!” Karen knew her own strengths; her fair skin made the pink dress even more flattering.
Someone said a fair complexion could tone down many flaws.
Just as Karen was about to head upstairs with her mom, she heard someone call her name from behind.
Her shoulders tensed.
The last thing she wanted was to turn around.
“Someone seems to be calling you,” Serena whispered softly.
“Yeah, Mom, you go ahead. A friend of mine needs a word.”
Karen watched her mother take the bags upstairs and disappear before she finally turned around.
“Jeffrey, what on earth do you want?”

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....
