The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Can't help it, work's been crazy busy."

"I was strapped for cash at the time, and swamped with stuff."

Somehow, being buried in work every day made me feel more grounded than ever.

"So, what's next on the agenda?"

Everett had cleared his schedule for the day, ready to go with the flow.

"How about a movie? Isn't that part of the classic date playbook?"

"We're not at work, no need for a 'playbook'," Everett said with a slight frown, then turned to check which floor the cinema was on.

We decided on a romance movie, but it wouldn't start for another hour.

I grabbed us some popcorn and pulled Everett to sit on a bench near the cinema entrance.

"No wonder dating is a hit with the youngsters; it does feel pretty awesome."

"If you like it, I'll make time at least once a week just for you."

At that, Dorothy immediately waved her hands, "No way! The Lopez Corporation has too much on its plate, and when my own venture takes off, I'll be swamped too! Let's just savor these moments instead." "I can always make time."

Spending time with Dorothy was something he was willing to carve out time for, no matter what.

"You know as well as I do that making time means you'd have to burn the midnight oil or... Kevin ends up bearing the brunt of it! Spare him, will you? He's got enough on his plate."
