Before Dorothy could utter another word, Everett had already hung up.
It felt like their relationship had suddenly returned to the whole boss-and-secretary dynamic.
It made sense. He was back with Heather. What place could she, the stand-in, have possibly held?
After shutting down her computer, Dorothy took a shower, and changed into her pajamas but then found herself lying in bed, unable to sleep.
She was tossing and turning, yet sleep eluded her.
It was already the early hours of the morning, and if she didn't get some shut-eye soon, it would have been time for work!
Dorothy closed her eyes tightly, but no matter what, she just didn't feel sleepy, so she reluctantly got up and rebooted her computer to continue working.
Just as she logged onto the company software, she noticed that Everett was still online.
Was he also not sleeping?
After staring at the screen for a while, it suddenly occurred to Dorothy that Everett was abroad, with a time difference. It was afternoon for him at that time.
She tugged at her lips, a self-mocking smile playing on her face.
She was seriously getting ahead of herself, even bothering about the boss's every move!
Dorothy archived all the data of Genesis Creations Inc. and then handed over all the projects related to Kenneth to Kevin.
As for Everett's decision, she had no complaints.
She understood that after considering all aspects, he felt she was not competent or prone to errors, so he asked her to hand it over.
But his cold and calculated analysis and decision, devoid of any trace of emotion, made Dorothy feel estranged.
Everett was still the high-and-mighty boss, holding the power of life and death over the entire company, as if the gentle and considerate him from before was a figment of her imagination, and the cold him was the real deal.
Early the next morning, Dorothy had to go to work with dark circles under her eyes due to a sleepless night.
Dorothy gave an OK sign and then sat back down at her desk.
Beep beep.
Her phone on the side beeped, indicating unread messages.
She quickly picked it up and unlocked it.
It was a message from Bella: [You and Kenneth must come with me for my surgery this weekend!]
Dorothy frowned.
[Mom, he's swamped.]
[Don't make excuses! I just called him, and he said he's free this weekend.]

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....
