The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 197

Saturday.

Since she had already made plans with Kevin to take the day off, Dorothy could finally sleep in without any worries.

After slowly opening her eyes, she instinctively reached for her phone to check the time, then happily remembered she didn't have to work today. It was already 8 a.m. If she had to work, she would be extremely late.

After stretching and getting out of bed, Dorothy sluggishly walked into the dining room in her slippers, only to be surprised by an unexpected view.

"Why are you still home?"

Everett should've been at the office by now.

"Sit down and have breakfast first." He handed her a cup of milk with a smirk. "You said you were going for a check-up today, and I'm not comfortable with you going alone."

"But..."

"I know that you're afraid your mother will find out I went, so I'll just wait outside. Tell me when you're done."

Dorothy bit her lip, pulled out a chair, and sat down, looking at him seriously.

"Everett, I'm just going for a check-up. It’s nothing serious. You can't neglect your work because of me." If the company suffered a loss, she'd be the one to blame.

"Don’t worry. Kevin can cover for me."

"When I was working at the Prosperity Consortium, you might've been able to fool me by this, but now that I'm at the head office, do you think I don't know how much work you have?" Dorothy walked over to him and shook his arm playfully. "I promise, as soon as I get my results, I'll tell you, OK?"

Since Everett still didn't agree, she had to pull out her trump card. "If you don’t go to work, then I won't go for the check-up. I'll go back to work with you."

"Dorothy, I'm worried about your health."

"I'm fine, really."

Both of them fell silent. Everett looked at her small, beautiful face until he finally gave in.
