Jeffrey had just left, saying he was filling in for Everett at a meeting, which meant he is probably in the boardroom by now. Wait up, I’ll just shoot him a text and see what’s up.”

“What’s the rush? Have some breakfast! I asked the housekeeper to whip up something special.” Paloma didn’t let Karen’s words sour her mood; she was still all smiles. “After you’ve eaten, whether you and Jeffrey are an item or not, I’m making him go to the hospital and apologize to your friend. We’ll sort out any compensation that’s due; we can’t muddle it through and have you caught in the middle of this mess.”

“No worries, my friend probably doesn’t need his apology. I’ll have a word with him, that’s all.”
