"Where were you then?"
"Yeah."
Though she really wished she hadn't been there!
If she hadn't seen Quincy being picked up, she might have been able to fool herself into thinking that Everett's feelings could change, maybe he'd snap out of it in a few days.
But with someone new in the picture...
"Everett, are you seriously going to be with Quincy?"
"I've got things to do, I'm busy."
"Don’t dodge my question! I just want to know, are you going to be with Quincy?" Dorothy wiped away a tear, trying hard to keep her emotions in check, "If you just need some space because of everything that’s going on with your mom and you’re unsure about us, I can wait! However long it takes! But if you’ve fallen for Quincy and you plan to be with her..."
"Dorothy, I told you, I'm busy. I don't have time for this."
The light in Dorothy's eyes dimmed.
She forced a smile, "Alright, go on with your busy schedule then."
"I—"
"Goodbye."
Dorothy hung up first.
She desperately wanted to fight for their relationship, to be with Everett, but if his decision was to leave her behind...
Then she couldn't be a burden to him.
Perhaps... this was for the best.
...
Back at the office, Everett stared at the disconnected call, taken aback.
Then he dialed the intercom, summoning Kevin.
"Mr. Lopez, did you need me?"
"Did Quincy leave?"
Kevin nodded, "Yeah! She even tried to fish for info about whether you've been in touch with Ms. Sanchez privately, claiming it's only natural for Mr. Lopez to keep in communication with Ms. Sanchez since there are ongoing projects at the company."

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...
