Karen had been hoping to catch a glimpse of the handsome guyâs real face once he woke up from his
slumber. But throughout the entire tenâhour flight, he remained sound asleep.
Eventually, Kan even started to wonder if he had passed out.
âWell, he did have a bandage wrapped around his head
As the plane touched down at Mellamo Airport, the man finally stirred to consciousness. He rubbed his
bleary eyes and began to make a phone call.
Eavesdropping on other peopleâs conversations wasnât Karenâs thing, so she bent her head down and
started to gather her belongings, readying herself to disembark.
But then, as if by chance, she thought she heard the name âDorothyâ
âDorothyâs there too? Alright⦠I got it, I head straight over⦠Everettâs still out cold, huh? Sigh,
Jonathan, weâll talk when I get there.â
Karen couldnât help but stare at him, herbaffled look catching his attention.
They locked eyes for a moment before Karen broke the silence, âYou know⦠Dorothy?â
He scrutinized her from head to toe, squinting slightly. âYouâre Dorothyâs friend? Named..â âKaren!â
âI knew I wasnât wrong,â he said before turning to leave.
Karen reached out and grabbed his arm, âYou havenât told me who you are yet!â
He frowned and glanced at Karenâs hand on his sleeve, âWhy are you making a scene?â
Karen let go, still fixated on him, âCan you tell me now?
âEven if I told you, you wouldnât know who I am! Jeffrey, ting any bells?â
âAh?â Karen suddenly connected the dots, âYouâre Heatherâs sucker, the guy thatâs madly in love with
her? You even approached Dorothy about breaking up with Everen?
Jeffrey bristled at that âWho are you calling a sucker?
âThat would be you! If not, why bother sticking your nose into it when Dorothy and Everett are already
married? You canât deny youâre Heatherâs sucker!â
Karen had never met Jeffrey in person, but she had heard plenty about his antics!
Especially the time when Everett was in a car accident and Jeffrey had made things difficult for Dorothy
at the hospital, Karen hadnât forgotten that.
What did he say again? Oh, night! He said Dorothy was not worth Heather lifting a finger for!
Karen vividly remembered Dorothy coming to her with a hoarse voice and a bright red slap mark on her
cheek, asking if she could crash for a few days.
Dorothy had tried to claim she had bumped into something, but who gets a bruise like that on their
face? It wasnât until after much probing that Dorothy finally spilled the beans.
Now that Karen had come faceâtoâface with the culpnt, she was determined to got justice for her best
friend!
Jeffrey, caught in an awkward moment and knowing he was in the wrong, muttered something about
Karen being crazy before quickly grabbing his luggage and leaning
He had just come to after being in the hospital himself, eager to wam Everett about Heather, only to
learn that Everett had been stabbed and barely escaped death!
Despite his pan injunes, Jeffrey had humedly packed and rushed to Swevia Country
And as fate would have it, he bumped into Kaman!
Thinking back on his past actions, Jeffrey felt guilty, so making a quick getaway seemed like the smart
choice.
Following the location shared with her, Karon antired at the private hospital where Everett was
admitted. And just like that, she found herself being stopped at the entrance.
âLet me in, Iâm Everettâs friend!â
Karen struggled to define her relationship with Everett and ended up settling on friend:
âIâm sorry you canât go in.â
âHey, walt-âKaren was left standing outside, wondering how sheâd get in when she turned around to see
a car approaching/Talk about a run in with bad luck.
It was none other than Jeffrey sitting in that ear.
