Karen had been hoping to catch a glimpse of the handsome guy's real face once he woke up from his slumber. But throughout the entire ten-hour flight, he remained sound asleep.
Eventually, Karen even started to wonder if he had passed out.
Well, 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 people's conversations wasn't Karen's 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 "Dorothy."
"Dorothy's there too? Alright... I got it, I'll head straight over... Everett's still out cold, huh? Sigh, Jonathan, we'll talk when I get there."
Karen couldn't help but stare at him, her baffled look catching his attention.
They locked eyes for a moment before Karen broke the silence, "You know... Dorothy?"
He scrutinized her from head to toe, squinting slightly, "You’re Dorothy's friend? Named…”
"Karen!"
"I knew I wasn't wrong," he said before turning to leave.
Karen reached out and grabbed his arm, "You haven't told me who you are yet!"
He frowned and glanced at Karen's hand on his sleeve, "Why are you making a scene?"
Karen let go, still fixated on him, "Can you tell me now?"
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know who I am! Jeffrey, ring any bells?"
"Ah?" Karen suddenly connected the dots, "You're Heather's sucker, the guy that’s madly in love with her? You even approached Dorothy about breaking up with Everett!"
Jeffrey bristled at that, "Who are you calling a sucker?"
