The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 119

She couldn't believe him.

If the one framing her was someone else, maybe she could choose to trust Everett.

But it was Heather she was up against.

She was someone who held a major place in Everett's heart and had contributed a lot to the Lopez Corporation.

Whoever weighed the pros and cons would know how to choose. Would the truth even matter then? Who would care?!

Dorothy even doubted that Everett, as the CEO, was meddling in this intentionally to destroy evidence and protect Heather.

Yeah, at this point, she trusted no one.

If the accusations of her leaking confidential documents and betraying the company were confirmed, she'd have to carry them for the rest of her life.

"I'm sorry."

Dorothy uttered this sad apology and left the room with her suitcase.

She bought a ticket for the earliest flight back to Eldorria City. It wasn't until she was sitting in the terminal that she checked her phone.

She hadn't even opened the message from Kenneth yet.

[Karen told me about your situation. If you need help, I'm pretty savvy with computer hacking.]

Since the last time Dorothy had a heart-to-heart with him, this was the first time Kenneth had sent her a message on his own.

She hesitated, then replied: [Can you recover suddenly disappeared messages from a phone?]

He replied almost instantaneously, as if he had been waiting for her message.

[I can try. When are you coming back to Eldorria City?]

[I'll arrive at Eldorria City Airport around midnight. Don't let me disturb your rest; I'll come to find you tomorrow if you're free.]

[Are you alone?]

[Yeah.]

Just before boarding, Dorothy saw two missed calls on her phone from Everett.

She hesitated and didn't return the call. She turned off her phone and got up to check in.

The whole trip was silent, and Dorothy's delicate face looked visibly haggard.

Who wouldn't be upset over something like this?

At two in the morning, the plane landed on time at Eldorria City Airport.

She walked off the plane with her luggage, not turning her phone back on until she was almost at the arrivals section.

The first message that popped up was from Kenneth.

[I'm waiting for you at the airport. Contact me when you land; otherwise, I'll just keep waiting here.]

The time stamp showed it had been sent three hours ago.
