The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1221

Everett's voice was laced with urgency, his explanations jumping from one topic to another without much logic. It was clear he was panicking.

Dorothy almost thought it was some kind of emergency!

"I get it, you know."

"You're not upset?"

She sighed, "Of course not. I just thought Quincy showing up to taunt was funny, so I sent you the picture."

"Oh... I thought you were jealous."

"Not at all, really." After Dorothy said this, she found it somewhat amusing and chuckled, "My not being jealous is because I trust you, not because I don't care about you!"

Everett was on edge, terrified of detecting even the slightest hint that Dorothy didn't love him enough.

Dorothy had no choice but to tread lightly.

"Well, that's more like it." Everett sounded relieved, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Dorothy casually asked, "So, you're done with work?"

He had the time to check his phone so quickly!

"No, still in a meeting."

"A meeting?!"

"Yeah, today we had some folks from the environmental council over. They had some concerns about the new project's process, especially regarding environmental issues, so we're discussing that."

Dorothy was momentarily speechless.

"And you're still...?"

"I thought you were mad at me since you hadn't replied to my messages."

"I wasn't, and I won't make such jokes anymore! You better get back to work. I'm heading back to Bay Residence. We'll talk when you're off."

"Alright."

Dorothy quickly ended the call, not wanting to distract him any further.

As she drove up to the entrance of Bay Residence, she spotted a familiar figure.
