The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1258

Dorothy had already thought of him earlier, but since he'd vanished off the radar for so long, she couldn't be sure.

"That's right! How could you forget me? I haven't forgotten you, not even for a second," Lane chuckled, his voice laced with a teasing tone. "Are you with Everett now?"

"...What does that have to do with you?"

"Ugh! Listen to that tone, why so hostile towards me? Dorothy, did you not enjoy your time at East Star Enterprises?"

Dorothy glanced at the bedroom door subconsciously.

She wanted to tell Everett about Lane reaching out to her.

But soon, Dorothy dismissed the idea.

He already had enough on his plate. Lane was just a minor character, unlikely to cause any real impact. There was no need to burden Everett with this.

Hadn't Everett once embarrassingly kicked Lane out of the country? Did Lane now possess the power to stand against him?

"Just spit it out if you have something to say. I don't think there's anything for us to casually chat about! Lane, I haven't forgotten that you leaked my information to Heather."

If not for him, perhaps Everett wouldn't have been so deeply hurt!

Even now, Dorothy shuddered at the thought.

"Ah, can we not bring up Heather? If that woman hadn't already been sentenced, I'd have taken care of her myself! How dare she play me, betray me!" Lane thought of Heather, his disdain palpable.

So when Quincy proposed a collaboration, he didn't even consider it.

Listening to Lane, Dorothy suddenly remembered something Everett had mentioned...

Could it be that Lane was somehow connected to Quincy?

"That's the consequence of your own actions, isn't it? Did I make you do it?"

"Dorothy, what's wrong with wanting you?" Lane's voice rose, "When you worked at East Star Enterprises, you know very well how much I looked out for you!"

Dorothy was clear about these so-called "favors".

"I did my job, and I took what I deserved. Anything beyond that, I didn't touch a thing! Lane, trying to guilt-trip me with this is pointless."

She had always been stubborn, wary of entangling with others.

For Dorothy, everything needed to be clear-cut!

Whether with friends or more.

"Dorothy, you're still the same! No wonder I haven't been able to forget you all this time! Since you walked into my life, other women have just seemed so bland!" Lane chuckled softly, "So... I've decided, I still want to have you."
