"Quincy! It must've been one of your tricks!"
"What tricks could I possibly use? You brought this on yourself."
Dorothy paused dramatically before speaking, "Do you really think marrying Everett is such a great catch?"
Quincy chuckled, "I'd love to hear why it wouldn't be."
Dorothy glanced around to make sure they were alone before she whispered the lines she had rehearsed.
"I remember back in Aspen, you told me you've never had a boyfriend."
"...True! I'm untainted."
"Well, you're in for a rough ride. Everett has... let's just say, unique tastes in the bedroom! It's not as easy to satisfy him as you might think!"
Quincy had expected something more shocking.
That's it?
"If you can satisfy him, so can I."
"Well, good luck then! He likes to darken the room completely, tie up his women, and blindfold them! I was terrified every single time!"
"..."
Dorothy sighed, almost pityingly, "I advise you to heed the words of someone who's been there. Don't be fooled by Everett's perfect facade. The more perfect they seem, the wilder their secrets. And that Jeffrey guy he hangs around with, you must've heard something. If Everett didn't share similar interests, how could they have been friends for so long?"
Dorothy was earnest, but Quincy couldn't help laughing.
"Ms. Sanchez, you simply don't get it. It's called spicing up the marriage! Even if Mr. Lopez was into that, I'd be game."
"...Well, I've said my piece. The rest is up to you."
After hanging up, Dorothy looked at her phone and scoffed.
As she had spoken, her mind couldn't help but wander to that imagery...
Tied up, blindfolded.
It... was actually kind of thrilling.
Dorothy took a deep breath and walked back to her designer.
"I don't need much space here, but we need clear divisions for each department! HR should move to the southeast corner for easy access."
Dorothy's hand, poised to press the elevator button, retracted as she rolled her eyes.
She knew it! How could Everett be home so early?
Turning back to the office, Dorothy thought she'd review some details, only to find the door she had locked was now ajar!
A burglar?!
But the office was empty, the decor minimal. What was there to steal?
Dorothy felt a pang of fear but mustered her courage and pushed the door open—
"..."
"Surprise?"
There, in the center of the room, stood Everett in a sleek black suit.
The moment he saw Dorothy, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
No matter the occasion, they always did.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
