The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1225

That was his ultimate reason for coming today.

"You want me to work for you?! I'm your rival in love!"

Everett tapped his fingers lightly on the table, chuckling softly, "There are many who fancy Dorothy, but none can truly claim to be my rival."

Byte 7's eyes widened, "Why?"

"Because in Dorothy's heart, there's only ever been room for me."

"…Aren't you just the cheesiest?" Even Byte 7 couldn't stand it anymore, "No wonder Langston said he's had enough."

Just sitting here for a while, and he's already fed up!

"But it's the truth."

"I'll head over to Lopez Corp, aren't you worried I'll be all over Dorothy?"

Everett spread his hands, "She's left Lopez Corp."

"That explains your generosity! And here I was thinking you were being kind-hearted." Byte 7 leaned back as he spoke.

Given that he's a gaming addict, he's rarely sitting up straight - it's either leaning or slouching for him.

But facing Everett, there's this inexplicable feeling of being in a business negotiation, and that he has to listen!

Damn it.

That instantly puts him at a disadvantage.

"You might want to think it over, then get back to me."

"I won't do it! Who would work for a love rival? Wouldn't that be humiliating?" Byte 7 was quicker to refuse than anyone, not even giving it a second thought.

Everett didn't insist, only saying lightly, "No need to come into the office, an annual salary of over thirty million, just providing technical guidance online, with occasional requests to attend meetings at the company."

"…Don't try to tempt me with money, I'm not short of it."

"Then consider it unsaid, Julian."

He stood up and walked away.

Behind him, Byte 7 blinked rapidly, hurrying after him, "Everett! How did you know my real name?! Impossible, I’ve erased all traces, did you guess?!"

He smiled, "Yes, guessed."

...

Dorothy had nearly finished ordering office supplies.

With Kevin overseeing, she really didn't need to worry too much.

After transferring the funds, Karen called.

"Dorothy! Where are you? I want to come see you!"

"You should just stay put, you little mom-to-be." Dorothy laughed, "How are you feeling? Still dealing with morning sickness?"

"Not at all, I hardly feel anything this time!"

"That's good." Dorothy was relieved.

But then Karen wailed, "You have no idea how bored I am. Jeffrey won't let me go out! I'm going stir crazy! I was hoping to chat with you."

"I'm at a construction site, the company's being renovated, and I'm supervising the work." Dorothy had stepped outside to take the call, "How about this, I'll check with Everett if he's free, and we can both come visit you."

She was in a delicate condition, and Dorothy wouldn't want anything to happen to her!
