The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1423

"Oh." Dorothy held the pen, signing the contract, "August... 25th... Done, this can go to the project team—"

She halted mid-sentence.

The secretary reached out, "To the project team, anything else you need?"

"Today's, August 25th?"

"Yes, Ms. Sanchez."

"..."

Dorothy's eyes darted around, looking at the secretary, "Are you sure, about tonight’s gala, Everett said he'd come?"

The secretary nodded solemnly, "Yes, we got confirmation from the Lopez Corporation."

"Alright then, carry on," Dorothy dismissed her.

Once the door closed, Dorothy rolled her eyes and grabbed her phone to send Everett a reminder about today on WhatsApp.

She wasn't one for anniversaries or formalities but...

August 25th, and Everett hadn’t even mentioned it first thing in the morning!

He must've forgotten.

Could the company's workload really make him forget such an important date?

Yet, as her fingers scrolled to Everett’s WhatsApp contact, Dorothy reconsidered and didn't message him.

Managing her small startup, Trust-E, kept her swamped daily. Everett, on the other hand, had the entire Lopez Corporation to oversee. It was understandable if he forgot such a date amidst his busy schedule.

"Sigh, alright! I'll prepare a gift then."

Dorothy stood up, checking her schedule. There was still some time before the gala.

She smirked, grabbing her long-unused car keys from the drawer, and took the elevator down to the company's underground garage.

It was an anniversary after all. Forgotten or not, a gift was due.

Dorothy went straight to the mall and bought Everett a sleek, ink-black tie.
