The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1361

Yesterday, when Madison initiated a chat with Everett, Dorothy didn't think much of it. Seeing Everett in person, that was something to get excited about, and she got it. But asking about him again the next day? That left a slightly sour taste in her mouth.

"Madison, you're here to work, not to fan over celebrities."

"I get that," Madison muttered, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment from the blunt reprimand. "I was just asking, that's all. Mr. Lopez and you, you guys are like a match made in heaven. Can't blame me for taking an extra look, right? Ms. Sanchez, don't you think you're being a bit too touchy?"

Dorothy furrowed her brows, on the verge of saying something more, but eventually, she just waved a hand dismissively. "Go on, get back to work. Just remember what I said." Maybe she was overthinking it.

It wasn't fair to suspect anyone who took an extra glance at Everett or asked a few questions about him.

Madison was probably just a young girl admiring a successful man, nothing more.

Once Madison had left, Dorothy dove back into her work. After all, the new company was just taking off. While Everett was backing the major stuff, she couldn't depend on him for everything.

The next few hours flew by, unnoticed until Everett's call snapped her back to reality.

"Dorothy, did you have lunch yet?"

Caught off-guard, she quickly plastered on a pleasing smile. "...I was just about to, after finishing up here."
