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." Karen knew she had to skedaddle before Jeffrey got back; if he returned, she wouldn't stand a chance of leaving.

"Alright, you guys catch up with Jeffrey for the full scoop. I better head out.” "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.
