The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1105

"Why are you doing this to yourself, locking up in the office?"

"Just do as I say."

Everett knew the poison he'd ingested would cause hallucinations for a while.

Dorothy had been through the same ordeal.

Her depression, which had been mild, spiraled into severe suicidal thoughts because of the toxin-induced hallucinations. They made her insomniac, anxious, and restless.

Everett feared the hallucinations too.

He had no idea what he might do under their influence!

So he instructed Kevin to lock the office door, barring anyone from entering or seeing him, hoping to weather the initial storm. He wanted to gauge the drug's effects and regain control.

Kevin couldn't refuse Mr. Lopez, but...

He was seriously worried about him.

After leaving the office, Kevin did lock it as Mr. Lopez had asked, but his concern led him to seek help from one person—

Dorothy.

Receiving Kevin's call surprised Dorothy.

After her breakup with Everett, she had almost lost contact with Kevin, barely running into him at work.

"Ms. Sanchez, are you still at the office?"

"...Yeah." Dorothy was there for a project wrap-up, probably her last time.

"Great! Please come to the executive floor, I'll wait for you."

Dorothy paused.

She frowned slightly, "I'd rather not."

She didn't want to see Everett or have anything to say to him.

"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez is really sick! He almost passed out when I saw him, and he refuses to go to the hospital!"

Hearing about Everett's illness made Dorothy's heart skip a beat.
