The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Everett shot an instinctive look to Dorothy upon hearing the proposition.

Dorothy’s petite face had gone a shade paler, a forced calm painted over her features while her lashes fluttered like the wings of a trapped butterfly. It took her several seconds to nod in agreement, “Okay, I’ll go.”

“If you don’t want to go alone, I can come with you,” Kenneth offered gently.

“No need. Bye, Kenneth.”

Dorothy’s steps became noticeably flustered. It was Everett’s arm, wrapped supportively around her waist, that guided her into the car and away from the scene.

He knew he shouldn’t have brought up her mother at such a moment—that was her sore spot.

But the indignation within him was just too strong to suppress.
