Chapter 502
Everett glanced up, a hint of amusement touching his eyes. “So, that’s why you harassed Karen, huh?”
At that accusation, Jeffrey looked like he was about to explode in protest.
“Whoa, hold up! It was totally her stirring the pot first! I was just… just trying to teach her a lesson, that’s all! Her looks, her figure–they’re not even my type.”
“She’s a friend of Dorothy’s. You should back off.”

“What’s the rush?”
“Work stuff, man! I’ve been out of the game for too long. Got a pile of things to sort out.”
Everett didn’t push it. He just nodded. “Go ahead.”
“See you! If I’m free tonight, I’ll swing by!”

Now that he was alone, he pulled out his phone and started sifting through the complicated mess Kevin couldn’t handle, all the while stealing glances at Dorothy.
Everett didn’t even realize was that he had a smile plastered on his face the entire time. Even when his cheeks felt stiff, he wouldn’t let it fade.
