The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 379

And Everett wasn't like the others, the kind of suitor that had to make a big, public spectacle of things, the kind that only succeeded in making her look like a fool.

He was the type to put her feelings first, to consider how she felt, and then decide how to proceed.

His love was soft, subtle, but omnipresent.

Dorothy thought, perhaps many girls never experienced such pure love in their entire lives.

And yet, she, a woman who had spent her life in the mud, had once possessed it wholly.

Once more, Dorothy found herself standing underneath the towering structure of Bay Residence, gazing up at the lit living room windows.

He was probably working, right?

At this time, as a CEO, he must have a slew of international meetings to attend.

Many people saw Everett as a golden boy, born with a silver spoon, but only those who really knew him understood that his hard work was beyond ordinary measures.

He had an insatiable desire to be hands-on with everything in the company, never shirking his responsibilities just because of his title.

This was why he was able to maintain a strong foothold in the business world with the Lopez Corporation, not just because of good luck, but because he was truly working hard.

Dorothy stood there, lost in thought, until raindrops began to fall on her.

It was raining.

She knew the rain was coming, but she also knew that once she left Eldorria City, she would likely never return, so she came to revisit this place that held her most cherished memories.

As time ticked away, the rain grew heavier.

Suddenly, the living room lights went off.

Caught in her lie, Dorothy had no choice but to listen.

"Ms. Sanchez, I really can't understand you! You were the one who was so ruthless. Our CEO has tried multiple times to reconcile, lowering himself to the dust, and you wouldn't budge an inch. Now, what are you doing here? Admiring your masterpiece?"

"Kevin…" Dorothy felt no anger at his scolding, because she knew how protective Kevin was of Everett, and from his perspective, she had indeed been too harsh. "I have my reasons."

"Reasons? What can't Mr. Lopez help you solve?!" Kevin had considered that Dorothy might have had a compelling reason to leave Mr. Lopez, but what could that possibly be?

The Lopez Corporation was a powerhouse that held sway over many areas, and Mr. Lopez was always resolute, never backing down. What problem couldn't they overcome together?

Dorothy looked down, her lips twitching, "Can he kill his mother for me?"

Kevin was dumbfounded.

"Kevin, if you really care about him, don't tell him about our conversation today, or that I was here."
