When Karen first found out that Everett had a thing for Dorothy, she was gobsmacked!

Every girl dreams about some high-powered CEO sweeping her off her feet, but the reality of bridging that gap isn’t just about mutual attraction. It’s about crossing a minefield of social lines.

“Ah, if only I had introduced you two sooner!” lamented Karen, then caught herself, “And, Kenneth, if only you had broken up with your ex a bit earlier! The moment I heard you were single, I played matchmaker with Dorothy. You can’t pin this one on me!”

Kenneth chuckled and ruffled her messy hair.

He was half-reclined in his seat, propping himself up with one arm. The recent events had slimmed him down, making his features even more sharply defined and his presence somewhat more brooding.

Dressed down in a simple white T-shirt rather than his usual business attire, Dorothy thought she was back in middle school for a moment, gazing at the boy who used to steal her breath away.

“Have you been staring at me this whole time?”

Dorothy noticed the deep creases in his palm.
