"I just don't want folks thinking I got my job at Lopez Corp riding on your coattails," Dorothy said, then paused and chuckled to herself.
Everett raised an eyebrow, "What's so funny?"
"It just hit me... I guess I kind of did get this job because of you."
Otherwise, she'd have to slog it out at Prosperity Consortium for a decade or so before even dreaming of getting a transfer to the headquarters, right?
"It was my call to bring you into the Lopez Corp headquarters for training, but staying on? That's all you, your merit," Everett assured her.
He had always recognized Dorothy's work ethic. After all, there's no room for mere decoration at Lopez Corp! Being able to work harmoniously with someone as notoriously hard-driving as Kevin, learning heaps from him, was a testament to Dorothy's dedication and effort.
"Mr. Lopez, are you praising me?" Dorothy asked, a playful note in her voice.
Everett gave her an affectionate smile, "Yes."
Dorothy gave him a formal nod, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lopez."
"Alright, Abigail and Langston will be out of school soon! I promised them both their mom and dad would pick them up today."
"Wait, you didn't tell me! I need to delegate some tasks quickly then head out," Dorothy said, rushing towards her office.
Everett followed, a smirk playing on his lips. He thought, if life could always be this simple, this good.
A few steps later, Everett's phone rang.
Glancing down, he saw it was a call from his father, Jonathan.
He didn't answer, nor did he hang up. Just muted it.
After the call eventually dropped, a text came through.
[Everett, your mom's been hospitalized! It's serious, she woke up briefly and asked to see you!]

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....
