The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1422

"Dorothy, how on earth did you end up covering costs for the Trust-E project?" Dorothy inquired, her skepticism fueled by Everett's recent odd behavior. "Everett, is there something going on at the end of the month?" "Yeah, there's something you absolutely must attend."

She raised an eyebrow. "Work-related?"

"I can't tell you."

Dorothy pouted. "Oh, come on, give me a hint. Is it something good or bad?"

She needed some peace of mind.

Otherwise, with her relentless curiosity, she'd never stop pondering.

Everett pondered seriously before responding, "I'd say... it's something good."

"Good or bad, why the 'probably'? Are you sure it's not work-related?"

"Absolutely not." He pulled her close, a touch of irritation in his voice. "Why have you taken over my role as the workaholic? It's like your mind is filled with nothing but work."

Everett had been worried his unusual behavior would tip Dorothy off!

But lately, she seemed to be all about work and projects, not giving a second thought to anything else!

Well, maybe it's for the best. After all, surprises are meant to be surprises.

"With Trust-E just getting off the ground, I don't have much choice! As the CEO of the Lopez Corporation, you should understand! Starting a company isn't just about my personal finances anymore - it's about ensuring the livelihood of all our employees. I don't want them to trust me once only to let them down."
