The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1017

Everett clenched his fists, ready to storm out of the car.

Dorothy quickly grabbed his arm, "Where do you think you're going?"

"To find her."

"Don't!" Dorothy pleaded, her voice tinged with frustration. "Just let it go. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and as long as you don't bite, what does it matter how many fall for your charm?"

Ever since she had a change of heart, she found it easier to let things slide.

Today it's Heather, tomorrow it could be Quincy, and who knows how many more will fall head over heels for Everett in the days to come.

Was she really going to pick a fight over this every single time and sulk about it?

Dorothy didn't think so.

As long as Everett was hers, what else mattered?

"I'm going to make sure you never have to deal with Quincy again, to keep her from riling you up."

"It doesn't bother me!" Dorothy even managed a smile at him. "Everett, you've always asked for my trust, and here I am, trusting you. It's only natural for someone to fall for you."

After the whole ordeal with Heather, who went to crazy lengths for her affection, it wasn't surprising that Quincy could be interested in Everett too.

"…"

"If anything, you can only blame your own irresistible charm! Despite never leading them on, you still end up capturing their hearts."

Everett searched Dorothy's face, trying to decipher her true feelings.

Either she was hiding her feelings well, or... Dorothy genuinely wasn't bothered.

Her smile was genuine, not forced.

"I'm hungry. Let's grab something to eat? I've been craving some classic Havenbrook City cuisine."

"Sure."

Everett finally let out a sigh of relief.
