The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1363

After Everett's comment, Dorothy found herself wrestling with the idea of whether to keep Perdita on board. Since Perdita had just joined the team, it seemed harsh to inform her about a job transfer so soon, especially over a minor flirtation with Everett. Dorothy didn't want to come off as petty or vindictive.

"Ms. Sanchez, are you heading to Everglow City on a business trip? Could I possibly tag along?" Perdita asked, catching up to Dorothy right after the morning briefing as Dorothy was about to head back to her office with a stack of documents in hand. "This trip doesn't require your presence."

"I get that, but ever since I returned from abroad, I've been cooped up in Eldorria City. I haven't had the chance to explore much, and I thought this could be a great opportunity to both work and see a new place! I've heard the sights in Everglow City are breathtaking!" Perdita's reserve had vanished since her first day, replaced by a blunt forthrightness.

Though her request wasn't unreasonable, this kind of familiarity could make things awkward in a professional setting, as Dorothy was now experiencing.

"Perdita, work is work, and sightseeing is sightseeing. This trip isn't a good fit for you."

Perdita's disappointment was palpable, her lips pursing, "I'm not just looking to have fun! I want to work too. You can trust me to handle any tasks you assign."

"There's nothing I need to assign to you," Dorothy replied, her tone leaving no room for further discussion. Without giving Perdita a chance to continue, Dorothy turned and walked towards her office.
