"No, don't touch that project. I don't want anyone else on it either."
Kevin was finding Mr. Lopez's instructions increasingly baffling. But if he insisted, there had to be a reason.
"Alright, rest assured. I'll keep a close eye on it." Kevin continued to report his research findings. "Also, the person you referred to me, a certain Emmett, is a project assistant at East Star Enterprises. He's a recent recruit. He’s a bright graduate from an elite university."
"Is he single?"
Kevin hadn't anticipated Mr. Lopez wanting him to investigate that.
At first, when he saw Emmett's profile, he assumed Mr. Lopez was considering poaching him for the Lopez Corporation.
"I believe so." After all, the guy was still quite young. He was only a few years out of college. It was unlikely he'd already be married.
"I don't want you to believe; I want you to confirm."
"Give me ten minutes."
Everett hung up and began rubbing his temples.
He thought back to the previous night, when he saw them together. Seeing them together alone stirred up an inexplicable sense of displeasure in him.
Wasn't Dorothy supposed to be with Kenneth?
Why was Emmett now in the picture?
Everett had clearly heard the pair discussing returning to the hotel together.
The more he thought about it, the more irked he felt. He sent Dorothy a message.
[Ms. Sanchez, I'm sorry, but I've gotten lost again. Can you take a call?]
She responded in no time.
[I'm sorry, I can't right now. I'm at a restaurant discussing business over dinner. Can it wait?]
Everett replied instantly. [With a man?]
He realized too late that he shouldn't have asked that. Just as he was about to delete the message, it was clear that Dorothy had already seen it.
[Yes, why?]

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...
