The line went dead before Jeffrey could get another word out.
Karen rolled her eyes, "Stop mentioning Dorothy to Everett, will you? The way you talk is like she's some damsel in distress without a suitor in sight. There's a whole line of guys just waiting for a chance with her!"
Men would be practically queuing up at her door with her face.
"I'm just thinking of giving Everett a nudge to reconsider, that's all. Don't you want Abigail and Langston to grow up in a home with both parents around?"
"Of course, I do! But not by making Dorothy look pitiful! Besides, Everett's sold the Bay Residence; his intentions are clear as day. Give it a rest. Considering all the drama between those two, I reckon they're better off apart. They'll hurt for a while, sure, but they'll get over it."
Jeffrey bit his lips.
"And didn't you use to disapprove of Dorothy? What's with the matchmaking all of a sudden?" Karen pressed.
Jeffrey looked as if he was about to cry, "I just said she could be a bit harsh on Everett! It’s always been Dorothy dumping him during these years. That's true, isn't it?"
"Well, yes, but if you find it cruel, then don't meddle! Have you ever thought that maybe Everett's willing to put up with it? It's not your place to feel sorry for him!" Karen bit back.
"You have a point."
"As for Dorothy and Everett's situation, I've already spoken to Dorothy. She seems to have her own plan, so let's just stay out of it."
At that, Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, "What sort of plan? I'm really curious."
"Like I'd tell you. If you know, it means Everett knows!" Karen shrugged. "Besides, I don't know the details. I didn't pry."
"How long have you been standing here? Come on, let's get you home," Kenneth made sure that she must have arrived early from her look.
"Kenneth, don't worry about me. Just go on home." Kenneth had a girlfriend now, and whether she minded or not, Dorothy knew it was best to keep her distance.
"How can I leave you like this?" he replied, then hesitated before adding, "Eleanor doesn't know I'm here. She's working overtime today."
Dorothy gave a weak smile, looking up at him, "If she doesn't know, that's all the more reason I shouldn't be alone with you."
"I've always seen you as a sister!"
"That's easy for you to say, but it's everyone else who has to believe it," Dorothy said with a sigh, her voice gravelly. "Kenneth, if you've found someone right for you, hold on to her and don't live with regrets. I'm an adult; I know what I'm saying, what I'm doing, where I'm going. Even without you, I won't get lost, and I certainly won't die."

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
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....
