The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 417

Dropping a bombshell like that, Everett turned on his heel and left.

The rest of the work assignments were to be handled by the head of the HR department.

Dorothy hadn't expected Everett to call her out by name in public. Back when they were still married, he had never made such a display at the office. At most, he would wait for her after hours to head home together.

Today, he had marched into the waiting room and said her name aloud.

Wasn't that the same as announcing to everyone at East Star Enterprises that they shared an extraordinary connection?

Had he lost his mind?

"Mr. Lopez... he just said your name, didn't he?"

Dorothy was stunned, and Austin was even more bewildered, almost thought it was an illusion.

"It seemed like it..."

"Do you know him?" Austin's eyes widened in surprise.

"We went to the same middle school! Don't read too much into it, okay? I'll explain when I get back."

With that, Dorothy hurriedly got up and left the waiting room because it was too complicated to explain her relationship with Everett right now, especially not knowing what his intentions were with such a display.

...

It had been so long since she left the Lopez Corporation that Dorothy was surprised she still remembered the way to the CEO's office.

Her steps were hesitant; she didn't want to face Everett alone and was seriously considering turning around and running away.

She had reached the executive floor and was still debating the feasibility of escaping when she didn't want to step out of the elevator.

"Ms. Sanchez, there you are!"

Before she could make up her mind, Kevin had already spotted her.

So much for the plan.

Dorothy could only manage a strained smile, then hurried out of the elevator, pulling Kevin aside and whispering, "Did you tell him about me coming over the night he got drunk?"
