The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

No sooner had Dorothy settled into the passenger seat, Kevin, stationed behind the wheel, made no move to start the car. "Kevin?"

"Ms. Sanchez... maybe you should consider telling Mr. Lopez about it, discuss it with him before taking any steps?"

He was in on the secret, aware of who Dorothy was off to meet.

Truth be told, Dorothy had hoped to keep this venture from Kevin as well, but that was a tall order! Everett, out of concern for her safety, had Kevin stick close at all times.

If she were to part ways with Kevin, it was a given Everett would get wind of it.

"Everett's been losing sleep over this for days! I don't want to add to his worries."

"But if something were to happen to you, wouldn't that be like ripping Mr. Lopez's heart out?" Kevin clearly understood what Dorothy was driving at.

Both of them, intent on shielding the other!

Yet, the crux of the matter remained...

The consequences of keeping Everett in the dark were too grave for Kevin to bear.

"I won't let anything happen to me!" Dorothy glanced at her phone, noting a message from Lane confirming his arrival, "Lane's after me, so as long as I play it cool, he won't harm me!"

"It's the 'other demands' he might make that worry me."
