Before she left, she had to tie up all loose ends at work.
She always finished what she started.
Dorothy had been hunched over her desk for hours. When she finally lifted her head, it was already two in the morning.
Her neck felt stiff from the strain, and she decided it was time for a break.
Absentmindedly, she picked up her phone and saw a message from the driver. In case she lost his contact information, she left a note for him in WhatsApp.
[Headed to Havenbrook City for work?]
Although Dorothy was puzzled by the question, she still replied, [Yes, I'm going to Havenbrook City for a business trip.]
Only after she sent her reply did she realize the late hour. It was well past midnight, and the driver, given his age, was likely fast asleep.
After stretching her stiff limbs, Dorothy returned to her computer and was surprised to see a WhatsApp message from the driver.
She checked the time. It was half past two in the morning.
[Oh, safe travels.]
A rueful smile appeared on her face. His message warmed her heart.
The way she and the driver had met might not have been ideal, but he seemed like a good person. This unexpected kindness from a stranger was a refreshing experience.
[Thank you! I'll update you when I'm back.]
She set down her phone and took a deep breath.
Given the late hour, it seemed impossible to finish her work tonight. Tomorrow, she had a meeting and contracts to review. Plus, Lane had mentioned that the investors would be sending over lawyers. She needed to be alert and on her toes. She didn’t want to look like she had just woken up. That wouldn't leave a good impression.

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...
