The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1314

Dorothy stepped into the old lady's cozy little house, the kitchen greeting her right from the entrance, with the bathroom tucked neatly beside it.

The living room, though small, was impeccably tidy.

She hardly had a moment to take it all in when her phone buzzed to life in her pocket.

It was Kevin calling.

Probably wondering where she'd vanished to, growing impatient by the minute.

"Kevin, listen... I suddenly craved something else, so I went out to grab a bite. I'll be back soon, just hang on a bit longer for me!"

"Why don't you come back first? I can drive us out, and we can pick up whatever you're craving together!" Kevin seemed to sense something was off, not quite buying her story.

"I'm already halfway there. By the time I come back, I could've already grabbed it and returned!"

"…Dorothy, you didn’t run off, did you?"

Dorothy sighed, "Why would I run off? I genuinely wanted to pick something up. I'll be back soon."

She had indeed shelved the idea of barging in unannounced.

Now, she intended to get the lay of the land from the old lady, then head back to discuss things with Everett!

"Alright then, make it quick! And keep your phone on. If you go dark, I'm calling Mr. Lopez straight away!"

"Fine, I won't turn it off."

As Dorothy hung up, she heard footsteps outside.

Looks like the old lady had fetched someone quickly.

And there, standing beside the old lady, was none other than Lane.

Instinctively, Dorothy retreated a few steps.

"Dorothy, how did you find this place?" Lane's gaze was heavy, fixed on her.

"..."

"Stop your futile struggles. I don't want to cause a scene here."

Dorothy knew she had walked into a trap.

A direct confrontation with Lane would likely end badly for her.

"I’ll go with you, but don’t you dare touch me!"

Lane chuckled, his gaze sweeping over her face, a playful glimmer in his eyes.

"Even now, you’re making demands? Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, but... Kenneth is a different story."

"…"

"If I'm not mistaken, your being able to find this place is thanks to Kenneth, right?"
