The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 401

Dorothy had finally decided to stay in Eldorria City. She had Karen bring Abigail along.

Although it was a risky move, as a mother, she couldn't continue to leave Langston alone abroad any longer.

Kenneth, her trusted advisor, had his reservations, but in the end, he respected her decision and offered his full support.

As dusk settled over the city, Dorothy stood by the window of her hotel room, lost in thought as she watched the streetlights flicker to life outside. She took a deep breath and dialed Lane's number on her cell phone.

"Hey Lane, I'm gonna need you to pass off my project to someone else. I'm quitting."

"Quitting?" Lane's voice spiked with surprise. "Do you even know what you're saying, Dorothy?"

She had always been reliable, and the idea of her throwing in the towel was completely off the radar for Lane.

"I do, and I'm sorry for letting you down, but I can't continue with my position right now." Dorothy had no idea when she would be able to return, and with the fast-paced nature of their work, even a few hours could mean a world of difference.

By bringing it up with Lane now, she hoped he'd find someone to fill her shoes without the company suffering any losses.

"I already agreed to give you a break. You can take as much time off as you want. Why do you want to resign? You promised to stay until the end of the project!"

"Lane, as the head of the company, you should understand that my resignation from the project is the best course of action."

His plea was personal.

"I don't see it that way! And I'm not accepting your resignation. The contract is clear, after your promotion to supervisor, you need to give a six-month notice. Dorothy, I don't think you're someone who would breach a contract."
