Everett had reached his limit with promises she failed to keep.
"From now on, when you have lunch, send me a photo."
"..."
"I'll be there by 1 PM at the latest. If I haven't received your picture by then, I'm coming over to take you out for lunch myself."
What kind of woman trying to conceive could afford to skip meals like she did, especially when she was as thin as she was?
Everett was already worried she wasn't physically ready for another pregnancy, and here she was, lying to him about something as basic as eating lunch.
Dorothy frowned slightly, "Isn't that a bit much?"
"It's necessary."
"..."
Everett grabbed her hand, ready to lead her outside.
"Hold on," Dorothy protested, "I'm really close to finishing this proposal! Just give me ten more minutes!"
He was about to object when Dorothy put her hands together, pleading.
Everett couldn't help but laugh at her gesture.
"Ten minutes. Not a second more."
"Deal!"
Dorothy hurried back to her desk to continue working, while Everett started to close the office door, only to run into Perdita, who had just returned from lunch and was bringing Dorothy some documents.
Everett barely spared her a glance before turning back and settling himself on the sofa.
Perdita hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise by returning early. She almost glued her eyes to Everett.
Noticing her interest, Everett remained indifferent, making no effort to engage.
"Ms. Sanchez, this is the due diligence summary from the project team."
"Just leave it there."

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
