The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy was on the verge of saying something more when she noticed Everett raising an eyebrow, a clear sign that he was not going to let her off the hook today unless she agreed to use the Valleyton Plaza for their company.

"I'll use your commercial building, but have you thought about how you're going to explain this to Quincy?" she asked.

After all, in the eyes of the world-and Quincy-they were still in the breakup phase. There was no reconciliation in sight, and they had to keep up the act for a while longer.

"I've thought it through. Just say you were adamant about getting a share of my assets."

"Quincy would believe that?"

She had even managed to fool him!

"I just don't want to cause you any trouble."

"Then cause me trouble. Preferably, keep me busy solving them forever."

Dorothy couldn't help but smile. "Everett, you're quite the charmer."

She didn't even know how to respond to his sweetness anymore.
