The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1402

"..."

Frankly, after making it official, Dorothy hadn't really found the time to even think about planning a wedding.

To her, since they were already legally bonded, was the ceremony really that important?

But since Everett brought it up again, it obviously meant a lot to him.

Seeing her quiet, Everett thought Dorothy was hesitant.

He was just about to say that if she really didn't want to, they could skip it, but then Dorothy said in a laid-back manner, "Well, if we're doing this, it's gotta be big. Let's make a splash! I'm not showing up for anything less than spectacular."

"Deal!" Everett's smile widened, his lips curling up, "Leave it to me."

...

After spending a few days in Everglow City, they headed back to Eldorria City.

The bad news was there had been a hiccup in their latest collaboration—due to the other company's male lead.

The good news...

The deal hadn't fallen through.

It ended up being taken over by the Lopez Corporation, in a joint venture with Trust-E Investments to develop Everglow City's project.

After all the twists and turns, it still didn't escape Everett's grasp!

Seeing Kevin, dispatched by Everett, Dorothy couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Do we... need to start from a handshake again?"

Kevin quickly waved his hands, "No, no, if Mr. Lopez gets wind I shook your hand, he'll be green with envy!"

They were already registered; any earnings were considered marital assets, split down the middle.

"But there's also the staff's pay to consider, it's not just about us!"

"How much is that really? Mr. Lopez said, Trust-E needs to offer better salaries to motivate the staff, especially now that it's a new company. Don't you think these veteran colleagues deserve more benefits?"

Dorothy gave him a look, both annoyed and amused.

"Then if he had this all figured out, why bother sending you over? What a waste of time."

It's as if they were seriously negotiating a deal.

"Mr. Lopez did me a favor," Kevin grinned, "I've been busy with my new relationship lately, hardly had time for her. When I left the office earlier, Mr. Lopez said, once I've settled the deal with Trust-E, I can head straight off."

"..." Dorothy glanced at the clock, quickly getting up from her chair, "Then you better hurry!"
