There it was. That tone.
He talked as if he were looking out for his girlfriend.
A smirk crossed Dorothy's lips as a chuckle escaped her. "Thanks for the concern, boss."
His silence was deafening.
If he could blur the lines between work and their personal lives, she could certainly remind him of their relationship status.
…
Night fell.
Dorothy came back to the hotel, took a shower, video-called her daughter, and then finally opened her laptop to work.
Lane had already sent over the new project's details, and she glanced over the information. The due diligence on this project shouldn't be too challenging, but they'd need to focus on the partner company's certification.
Usually, in this agro-industrial processing sector, some corners were cut when it came to product certification and dealings with the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. But unless it was something too ludicrous, it shouldn't cause major problems. Her team had to thoroughly investigate all potential risks when conducting their due diligence to avoid any unpleasant surprises after the contract was signed.
Before opening the detailed information, she picked up her phone to order a cup of coffee.
Suddenly, something came to mind, and she quickly opened WhatsApp to search for a conversation.
[Hello, I'll be leaving Everglow City next week. Would you have time to pick up the original receipt before I leave? Or I could leave it somewhere for you.]
She'd already deleted him once, so it was the least she could do to help him with the invoice. She felt that it was her duty.
By the time Dorothy had placed her coffee order, he had replied.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
