As the elevator doors slid open at Everett's office level, Dorothy stepped out with a sense of urgency, only to
spot Kevin emerging from his own office. "Ms. Sanchez?" Kevin called out, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Yeah," Dorothy replied, trying to mask her anxiousness with a forced calmness. "Is Everett around?"
Kevin hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, he's in, but he's tied up in a meeting."
"How long do you reckon it'll last?"

Dorothy pursed her lips, her determination not waning. "Then I'll wait for him here."
Kevin seemed a bit uneasy. "Mr. Lopez might be a while... Maybe you can tellwhat you need, and | can pass
the message?"
Dorothy caught on to something in his tone. She smiled slightly, "Everett told you not to letin, didn't he?"
"No, not at all! Ms. Sanchez, you're reading too much into it. Why would Mr. Lopez say something like that?"
"Then go tell him I'm here to see him. I'll wait right outside."
"...He really is in a meeting!"
Dorothy met his gaze, firm and clear. "Everett has dropped countless meetings forbefore, no matter how
important they were. Why can't he do it now?"
There was a heavy silence before Kevin capitulated. "Okay. I'll let him know you're here."

Dorothy wasn't aiming to corner Kevin; after all, he had helped her out a lot in the past. Even if things were tense
with Everett, she believed in not dragging others into their personal issues. That was always her principle.
"Alright." Kevin, realizing he couldn't dissuade Dorothy, turned back to the office.
He knocked and upon entering, Everett seemed to sense something, his gaze immediately locking onto Kevin.
"Is she here?" Everett asked before Kevin could even speak.
"Yeah," Kevin nodded. "She said she'll wait outside until your meeting is over. | tried talking her out of it, but she
won't budge."
Left with no other option, Everett gestured dismissively. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it after the meeting."
"Got it."
Kevin left the office, catching Dorothy's expectant gaze as he did. Without needing to exchange words, they
understood each other's stance.
"Mr. Lopez will cout after his meeting," Kevin informed her.
Dorothy nodded her thanks. "Appreciate it, Kevin."
"It's no trouble. Just doing my job."
As Kevin walked towards the elevator, he couldn't help but glance back at Dorothy.
"Ms. Sanchez... Everett's been in a rough spot lately. Please, go easy on him."
Dorothy paused, absorbing his words. "Yeah, | know."
