This must have been Everett's scheme.
Lane took the last drag of his cigarette, then ground it out under his boot before striding towards the car.
TAP, TAP.
He knocked on the window.
The glass rolled down, revealing a face that clearly belonged to a secretary, who was dressed in a sharp suit.
"Can I help you, sir?"
Lane took the opportunity to glance at the backseat, but a divider blocked his view. He was certain that there was someone there.
"Mind if I borrow a light? I need a drag." Lane pulled out his pack of smokes and gave it a little shake.
"Sorry, I don't smoke." Kevin gave him a polite smile and started to roll up the window.
But Lane beat him to the punch and started a new topic. “Is there a big shot in this car? May I ask who it is? I'm also in the business world. I'm the owner of East Star Enterprises. Would it be possible to get acquainted?”
East Star Enterprises?
Wasn't that Dorothy's company?
Kevin reflexively glanced in the rear-view mirror, but he saw no reaction. “My boss is resting. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
"Alright." He was clearly rejected. Lane knew his attempt at small talk had failed.
Just as he was about to turn away, he heard the sound of the car door opening from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw a face that he usually only saw in magazines, now brightly lit in his line of sight.
Everett was extraordinarily dazzling.
Even though he was dressed casually now, his tall figure alone standing there was enough to create an invisible pressure. The aura of nobility and aloofness that permeated his whole being was innate.

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...
