Karen was a simple girl not one to overthink things Sa naturally, she thought that the situation was over

Little did the know Heather’s move wasn’t an apology anal

Dorothy didn’t want her to worry So, she just smiled and said, Wm hmm”

“So, are you free this weekend? How about we grab a meal together? Let’s celebrate! It’s my treat!”

Teant. My mom’s health is acting up again 171 have to take a rain check”

give me a shout. Don’t be shy I’ve got nothing going on at the office

Karen sighed on the other end of the line “All night then, Ill wat for you! If you need any help, just give

me a shout, anyway. Since you left. Mr. Percy has been giving me hell. I’ve even been thinking of

quitting

Dont You’re doing good at the Prosperity Consortium. Don’t let me influence you Mr. Percy isn’t all bad

He’s just a hit hot headed, but he knows his stuff. You can learn an

That’s why, every time Mr. Percy scolded Dorothy, she just took it on the chin.

It’s not that she didnt have a temper. She just wanted to beam as much as she could. After all, Mr.

Percy had been in the investment banking business for year!

“Pth My brother said if it gets too much, he could get me a position at his school, so I wouldnt have to

Dorothy pare awry smile, saying nothing

Yeah, Karen was I like het She had many paths to choose from and many people who cared for her

and panned her future. She didn’t have to make a name for herself in investment banking to survive

Before Dorothy could finish, Everet suddenly cut her off in a cold nice

She paused blinked and after a few seconds, she started laughing. Ta’t say I wanted a divorce. Why

are you so on edge?

Everett tense face finally relaxed a little when he heard her say she didn’t want a divorce.

At that moment, Dorothy realised how much stress she had put on Everett to make him so serailivu

Dorothy reached out and took his hand, looking earnestly into his eyes, I sad would face this with you

You ve done so much for me in our relationship. I’m not in a potion to learn‘

“dont want you to overthink this. So, dont feel burdened Apart from divorce, anything else you need,
