The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 189

"Heather, any objections?" Before Dorothy could say anything, Everett cut in, his towering figure stepping right in front of her.

The way he stood there, it was as if he was ready to throw down with Heather if she dared to sass Dorothy one more time.

In front of Everett, Heather couldn't keep up her cocky attitude.

She furrowed her brows, glanced at Everett, and said, "Don't forget what you promised your father."

With that, she turned around and left.

Surprisingly, Dorothy didn't ask about the comment she left behind.

"I'm done here, let's go home."

"All right."

Instead of letting the driver take them, Everett drove her back to Bay Residence himself.

They picked up some fruits and vegetables on the way home and whipped up a simple dinner in the kitchen.

As they were finishing up, Dorothy hesitated, cutlery in hand, and said, "You should take back the account and password you gave me. It'll put your partners at ease."

Everett paused for a moment, his lips curling into a slight smile, "They're not worried."

"You don't have to lie to me. After what happened, it's normal for them to suspect me. I get it! You don't have to put yourself under so much pressure just to give me this job."

Kevin would have been the best choice for that. The partners knew him well, and he had never messed up in all his years working with Everett.

It would have been normal for an assistant like her to do it, but now there was the leak. It tainted her image and made her less trustworthy.

"Dorothy, I'm the one calling the shots here. If I think you can handle it, then you can."

Dorothy remained unsure.
