Now they were lying in bed, his large hand resting on her waist and his steady breathing filling the room, but Dorothy still couldn't figure it out. Was this... a continuation of the contract?
She struggled with it almost all night, and it wasn't until she was dead tired that she finally drifted off.
When she woke up the next morning, the man beside her had gone.
Dressed in her pajamas, Dorothy walked out of the bedroom to see the breakfast that Everett had left behind on the dining table. It looked like there was no tiff between them at all.
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang.
She ran over to check it. It was Karen.
"Didn't you see the message I sent you yesterday?"
"Well, I was really busy yesterday. I got lots of business stuff to handle."
"I’m asking the guy you were talking about... it can't be Mr. Lopez, right?" Karen had been waiting for her reply all along.
Dorothy's heart skipped a beat, "You sure have a wild imagination."
"So it's not Mr. Lopez then?" Karen seemed relieved, "You scared the hell out of me! I thought you didn't reply because I hit the nail on the head! Mr. Lopez is indeed a catch. But his relationship with Ms. Heather is an open secret, and the Lopez family is all in on it. Marriage is just a matter of time. If you're really thinking about it, girl, I would advise you to think twice!"
Sure enough, even Karen thought Heather and Everett were the perfect couple.
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
"It's not that you're not good enough. Don't sell yourself short. It's just that Mr. Lopez is taken. He mentioned it during an interview once. He said he only has eyes for one person. He was so charming in that video that I've kept it on my USB to this day. I'll send it to you later."
Dorothy forced a smile, "No thanks."
"Ugh! It's okay to fantasize about him from time to time. If you're really looking for a boyfriend, I'd still recommend Kenneth!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
