GoodReadDorothy had a headache from all the yelling and was just about to explain the situation when Karen switched gears.
"Did you guys sleep together?" "Uh... Yeah." "Is Mr. Lopez's little friend big?" Karen blinked, her face full of gossip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDorothy was taken aback by the question. She stammered, "What?" "What do you mean 'what'? Remember | asked you before if Mr. Lopez was good in bed? He always looks so chaste, like he's got 'stay away" written all over his handsome face. I'm curious if guys like that are two-faced, like super passionate when they get intimate?" Passionate? Everett can be considered “passionate”, she thought.
"Hold on, Karen! I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you." Why did their conversation take such a sharp turn? She couldn't figure it out.
Karen stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "l just don't have any other way to find out his size, so | have to ask you! Anyway, if you're hung up on Mr. Lopez, | suggest you steer clear." "Why?" "He's got someone else in his heart! The fact that he's remained celibate for so many years proves that person is very important to him; maybe he's just being nice to you because he values your work." Dorothy massaged her temples and confessed, "He's not in love with Heather." "Then who?" Karen pondered, "I've never heard of any other girls around him. It can’t be you, right?" She turned to look at Dorothy.
Their eyes met, and they both fell silent for a few seconds.
Then Karen exploded, "It's you?! You are the girl Mr. Lopez has always been talking about?!" Dorothy gave an awkward smile, "It seems like it, based on the current situation.” She was just as surprised and incredulous when she found out. She wasn't even sure herself until Jeffrey came for her.
"Then why aren't you marrying Mr. Lopez and having his kids right now to secure your position as the future Mrs. Lopez?" Karen looked so exhilarated as if she'd won the lottery for a month straight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, it's the position of Mrs. Lopez she was talking about. Even dreaming about it would be a sacrilege for people like her! "It's not that simple between him and me." At least not with all the issues they were currently facing.
She wanted to ask Karen for advice because the issues were too tricky.
Dorothy explained the situation to Karen. Karen quickly understood that joining the Lopez family was not easy-peasy, especially with Heather around.
Karen fell silent for a while after hearing it all. Then she asked, "And what about you? How do you feel about Mr. Lopez?" "I don't know." She used to think it was just a transaction between her and Everett, but later found out there were some feelings involved.
For example, every time she heard news about him and Heather, she would feel down. But she never thought Everett had such deep feelings for her! She only thought it was the usual affection between men and women.
As an ugly ducky, she had never thought of becoming a real swan! "Man, poor Mr. Lopez! He's done so much for you, and all you can say is you don't know." Dorothy forced a smile, "Even if my answer was yes, we can’t possibly be a couple. Nobody can solve a zillion questions dropped here." "If you find it difficult, Dorothy, then that’s the same for Mr. Lopez. But he never thought about giving up."
