The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 421

Dorothy was on pins and needles, feeling every breath she took in the Lopez Corporation was laced with danger.

"He's announced marriage, for crying out loud! How can Everett justify this to his wife?"

"Why don't you take that up with Mr. Lopez yourself?"

What could Kevin possibly say? Mr. Lopez wasn't one to take kindly to loose talk.

"Forget it, I won't press you," Dorothy's shoulders slumped in resignation. "Thanks anyway, Kevin."

"Don't mention it." Kevin offered a reassuring smile before glancing at his watch. "Mr. Lopez should be out of his meeting in about an hour. Just wait for him in his designated parking spot."

"Just text me the location, I'll find my own way there!" The further she could stay from Everett, the better.

"Oh, come on, Ms. Sanchez, what's the point of all this squirming? Maybe Mr. Lopez just wants to discuss work with you. By resisting, you're just making it awkward for everyone. Unless... you've got other things on your mind."

Dorothy didn’t answer.

Kevin was almost out the door when he paused, as if struck by an afterthought. "Actually, there's something else I might say."

"Go ahead, Kevin."

"Remember what you told me back at the Bay Residence? Maybe you should try telling Mr. Lopez. Who knows... maybe you're the one he's chosen."

Dorothy was taken aback, her gaze falling silently to the floor.

Kevin sighed before finally leaving her office.

Once the door clicked shut, Dorothy whispered to the empty room, "And what if I'm not the one he chooses?"

She couldn't bet on Everett standing by her side against his own mother, especially not to the point of sending his mom to jail!

After all, if she had to choose between Everett and her mother Bella, she knew she wouldn't be able to do it either.
