NovelEnglishSeeing Everett's mood hadn't improved, she tried to reassure him again, "Quincy has been living abroad for so long, hardly ever comes home. At most, she's only in touch with the Caldwells here. Who could she possibly have upset enough to wish her harm? The person who dislikes her the most is you, and even you haven't done anything to her. So, she must be safe." That was the crux of why Dorothy wasn't worried.
The thought of Quincy being in any danger never crossed her mind.
"But still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling." "Everett, if you keep worrying about Quincy, I might start getting jealous!" Dorothy teased, pouting. "We're back at Bay Residence, and you're still hung up on another woman. Don't you think that's a bit much?" "...Alright, I'll stop thinking about it."

"Hello? Hi, this is Dorothy. May I ask who's calling?" The caller was a woman, her voice suggesting she was somewhat older.
"Dorothy? Oh, it's notwho's looking for you. Someone else is trying to reach you; they'll call you back later." The woman hung up before Dorothy could respond, leaving her somewhat baffled.
Why the secrecy? Why not just say who she was and what she wanted? Dorothy assumed the caller was a supplier or something of the sort.
So, she messaged Kevin, "Seems like a supplier called me, not sure what about. Have they contacted you?" "Nope! Did Ms. Sanchez leave your number with them?" Dorothy thought for a moment; her memory was a bit hazy.

"With your current status, do you really need to be hands-on? What are we the secretaries, supposed to do then? If you take over all the work, won't we be out of jobs?" Kevin always knew what to say, and his words quickly brought a smile to Dorothy's face.

"...Who is this?" She had a hunch, but ΟΜ hesitated to jump to conclusions.
