You could write:

*María Estela Pérez abrió la puerta de su auto, y su chofer **la** cerró. Ella saludó a su chofer, y él se fue luego de despedir**la.** María Estela revisó su bolso y se dio cuenta de que había olvidado su agenda. **La** había traído, estaba segura. Llamó al chofer para preguntar**le**, pero él no **le** atendió, porque estaba conduciendo. María Estela Pérez llegó al encuentro con sus fans demasiado temprano, y **los** esperó por dos horas.*

María Estela Pérez opened the door to her car, and her driver closed it. She waved to her driver, and he left after saying goodbye to her.
