Dorothy was just there for a job interview, not officially starting her work, so stumbling upon Perdita at this hour caught her off-guard.

"Yeah." Dorothy approached Everett, who reached out to take her hand without hesitation.

Perdita glanced curiously at their intertwined hands, momentarily taken aback.

Dorothy wasn't surprised by her astonishment.
