The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1411

Given Everett's charm and success, wasn't it normal for women to throw themselves at him? "He wouldn't do that."

"I used to believe Everett wouldn't, but you know, once a man starts acting out of character, you gotta keep your eyes peeled! If I ever caught a whiff of Jeffrey acting funny, I'd be on it like a hawk. You, my dear, need to stop being so laid-back and carefree about this!" Coming from the most laid-back and carefree person she knew, Dorothy wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at the remark.

"I'll talk to him when he gets home tonight, okay?"

"Do you honestly think a man coming home with a guilty conscience is going to spill the beans just like that?"

"Here's what we'll do! Next time he says he's working late, you give me a call. We'll head down to the Lopez Corporation together and see if he's really buried in work or just playing hooky." Dorothy appreciated the concern, truly.

But...

"I trust him. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me."

Karen went on for a bit longer before they finally ended the call.

Dorothy was about to check on the project progress on her computer when Everett's car pulled into the driveway.

She heard the engine shut off and went to the door, opening it to see Everett walking up with several bags in hand. "Brought back some eats."
