After ending the video call, Dorothy lay on her bed and stared at the ceiling.
She was suddenly devoid of a mountain of work, so it felt surprisingly strange to have the luxury of lying down at this hour.
She took out her phone with the intention of checking the latest on Wall Street, only to find unread messages.
Most likely, they were messages that had come in while she was video chatting with Abigail. She hadn't checked her phone after they hung up.
It was the driver.
[Hey, are you still up?]
Recalling the abundant gifts he had sent her way, which were all sorts of food, drinks, and dietary supplements, Dorothy assumed that his late message indicated that he wanted to ask for a favor. She felt obliged to respond.
She had the sense that he was a decent man. He seemed straightforward and not one for scheming. His manner of speaking was always respectful, and he never crossed any lines.
[Still up, what's up?]
[I heard you're heading to Havenbrook City. I was wondering how well you know the place, as I'm planning to visit. I'd like to know what's unique about it.]
Havenbrook City…
That was a city she knew like the back of her hand.
[I'm actually from Havenbrook City. Would it be okay if we switched to a voice call? I can give you a rundown.]
She didn't have any ulterior motives. After a full day at work, she didn't feel like typing on her phone.
After sending the message, Dorothy began to wonder if she was being a bit presumptuous. It was late at night, after all, and although there was a significant age gap between them, they were still of the opposite sex. What if his wife was around and got the wrong idea?
Dorothy started to type. [If it's inconvenient, never mind…]
But before she could finish, an incoming voice call notification appeared.

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...
