The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 33
"What?!"
"You should know why Everett picked you." Heather instantly regained her noble and haughty expression. She had a slight smirk on her red lips and began looking at her condescendingly. "I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. If you don't want to hear it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Heather's demeanor was like a wife’s when she warned her husband’s mistress.
But in reality, the name on Everett's marriage license was Dorothy.
She really wanted to retort, but the words got stuck in her throat out of fear.
Thank goodness she didn't blurt it out.
That would cause such a big misunderstanding. Why argue with Heather about these things? She didn't even like Everett, right?
...
On the way back, Dorothy was particularly quiet. She was just staring out the car window.
She used to be awkward when alone with Everett, but today was different. Today, she was silent and distant.
"Where did you go after shopping just now?" Everett's long hand rested on the steering wheel, casually talking to her while waiting for the traffic light.
"Just strolled around."
"See anything you liked?"
Dorothy shook her head. "No."
Even a tube of toothpaste at that store cost thousands. She didn’t have the courage to like anything there at all.
Everett took a deep breath, took a black card out of the driver's side armrest, and handed it to her. "Take it."
Everett nodded with a hint of approval in his eyes.
He always knew that Dorothy was smart. He wanted her qualities to shine.
If it weren't for the many pressures of reality limiting her, she would've been in the position of investment director long ago. She might have soared to even greater heights.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Mr. Lopez." Dorothy was genuinely grateful.
This project wasn't about bonuses. It was about being directly promoted to the core investment team at the head office. This is what many peers dream of.
"You’re calling me Mr. Lopez again."
She was so happy that she let loose. "How about I just call you Everett in private? Like when we were in school."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
