The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 146

It seemed like Mr. Lopez was using the interests of the Lopez Corporation as a guarantee for Dorothy.

Would anyone do this for a classmate or a close friend? How deep would that friendship have to be?

Everett left the conference room to find his assistant already waiting outside the door.

"Mr. Lopez, your flight's booked. We haven't scheduled the return flight yet. Once you're done with your business in Lumina Bay, just shoot me a message and I'll book it for you."

"Alright."

Everett nodded and took a few long strides back to his office. Just as he pushed open the door, he was surprised to see his mother sitting on the sofa, looking all fired up.

He turned his handsome face and gave his assistant a look, who quickly closed the door and left the office.

"Mom, do you need something?"

"Don't you think I deserve to know that you have another woman staying at your house?!" Amanda went straight to the point. "The girl I met yesterday, she's not just some cleaner; she's the mistress you are keeping at home, isn’t she?!"

Everett didn't like the word ‘mistress.’ It caused his eyebrows to furrow.

"That's my business."

"So you admit it, huh?" Amanda stood up and walked over to him, scolding him loudly. "Are you trying to kill me? Heather is your fiancée! How could you do this to her? Only Heather could put up with this! She even covered it up for you!"

Faced with his mother's wild accusations, Everett showed little reaction other than a frown.

He knew this day would come. He had to face it; he just didn't expect it to be so soon.

After a pause, Everett walked behind his desk and sat down.

"Mom, I don't have romantic feelings for Heather."

"You're going to be heartless, huh? Heather has made such a great contribution to the Lopez Corporation. Even your dad said that marrying her would be greatly beneficial to your career. Plus, you guys have known each other since you were kids. Heather's mom and your dad are close friends; if you're not marrying her, who are you going to marry? That cleaner?" Amanda got angrier as she spoke.
