The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy spilled the beans because she wanted Kenneth to brace himself, and also because she didn’t want to upset Everett.

He was touchy about these matters, especially when it came to anything regarding Kenneth.

As they drove towards Kenneth’s place, Dorothy tried a few times to strike up a conversation to lift the heavy mood. It just didn’t seem right, given what was coming, but she couldn’t quite figure out what to say.

It was only as they were nearly there that Everett spoke up in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, I promised no bickering,” he paused for emphasis, “for the kids’ sake.”

“That’s a relief,” Dorothy finally felt relieved; she gave him a smile, “Just think of Kenneth as my big brother, okay?”

“I can do that. But can he treat you like a sister?”

Silence.

The tension was still as thick as ever.

Choosing to stay quiet, Dorothy decided to wait and see how the meeting would unfold.

They pulled up to Kenneth’s place and Everett got out first, then went around to the trunk to retrieve a paper bag.
