The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1078

Dorothy sprang up from the edge of her bed.

"Stop fussing over me, I’m fine! Whatever happens between me and Everett, I won’t let you get dragged into this mess. Go abroad for your surgery!"

"You really think that out of the blue, a doctor contacted me, claiming they could fix my leg overseas?"

"...What do you mean?"

How could Dorothy not understand?

Kenneth sighed heavily, "Never mind, forget I said anything."

When he found out the doctor was recommended by Jeffrey, he started to doubt it.

But just then, he reconsidered, not wanting to share his suspicions with Dorothy! If she understood, she would surely guess that Everett was behind it all.

This meant Everett still cared for Dorothy, enough to send him away.

Kenneth... didn’t want to be the catalyst for their relationship.

Let him be selfish then.

...

For three consecutive days, there was no word from Everett.

Quincy was getting more anxious by the minute.

With no other choice, she decided to confront him at his office directly.

"Hi, I'd like to see Mr. Lopez."

"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist, taken aback by the request to see the CEO, gave her a curious look.

"...No."

The receptionist smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, but you need an appointment to see Mr. Lopez."

After all, it's not every day that just anyone could meet with the CEO of a company.

Just as Quincy was about to pull out her contacts, ready to use her influence to get to Everett at any cost, she spotted Kevin walking through the lobby while on a phone call.

He seemed very busy.

If Kevin was this swamped, Everett must be even busier.

Quincy tried to calm herself down, hoping things weren't as bad as she thought. Maybe... just maybe, it was all an act by Everett?

He had risked his life to protect Dorothy before; he couldn't have just stopped loving her so quickly.

With that thought, Quincy comforted herself, although her fists remained clenched tightly.

...

Kevin took the elevator straight to the CEO's office and knocked on the door.

Hearing a response, he pushed open the door, "Mr. Lopez!"

Everett was in the middle of a meeting and glanced at Kevin, saying sternly, "Let's call it a day for now. We'll continue tomorrow."

He shut down his computer, only to hear Kevin excitedly say, "Mr. Lopez, you were right on the money! The moment I stepped off the elevator, she came rushing over to find me! I did as you instructed, played it cool, and her desperation only grew!"
