The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1171

Dorothy was flabbergasted, "You bought the entire Valleyton Plaza?"

"I sent you the property list. Didn't you check?"

"..." She had never thought about claiming any of his assets, so she hadn't bothered to look.

Everett pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep tone, "There was a partnership deal here before. Ran into some issues with the settlement, so they ended up transferring the entire eighth floor to me. The space is just right, not too big. Perfect for your new startup."

If anyone other than Everett had said that, it would have sounded like they were showing off.

Valleyton Plaza, of all places!

Who starts a finance firm and immediately takes over an entire floor of Valleyton Plaza?

Most would struggle just to cover the rent for a year.

"I don't want it! It's too expensive, I'll look elsewhere."

"Dorothy, my place is sitting empty, and you won’t use it? Who else's are you planning to use?" Everett immediately frowned in displeasure.

He found this tactic quite effective.

"…your comment makes it sound like I’m planning to cheat," Dorothy couldn’t help but laugh, "Of course, I’d choose a place that suits me. Who else could I possibly use?"

"Mine."

"No, it's too expensive."

"I won't charge you."

Dorothy pouted, "I knew you'd say that, which is exactly why I won't use it."

She had talked about breaking away and starting her own thing. But launching her business in Everett’s building? That didn't seem like starting on her own at all.

"Let’s do this; it won’t be free. I want 20% of your company’s annual revenue as rent. How about that?"

Everett had anticipated her refusal, so he had his argument ready.
