The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 441

Dorothy faltered her grip, nearly sending her coffee mug crashing to the floor.

Why was he bringing this up now?

Was it his other test?

"That little girl looked so much like you, especially those piercing eyes." Everett reminisced, recalling how he'd noticed her instantly.

What an inexplicable destiny of kinship!

He'd never been fond of children, not averse to them, but not keen either. Yet, for some reason, he was drawn to that little girl.

At this, Dorothy lost her appetite and set down her mug. "Just spit it out, what do you mean?"

"Nothing serious," Everett replied, looking up with an innocent expression that suddenly highlighted the emotional overreaction of Dorothy.

"Please don’t misunderstand. I went to Everglow City for work, not to track you down. The resort project there is quite impressive. Since you left Lopez Enterprises, your career has taken off. I'm happy for you."

Dorothy, thinking he had no ulterior motive, was about to relax when Everett dropped a bombshell.

"By the way, I ended up buying some candy for that little girl, and her mom even had the front desk pass me her business card! I'll have to look for it later, it should be in my briefcase."

Dorothy choked on her breath, nearly leaping from her chair!

The man who bought Abigail candy was Everett?!

It was him?!

She couldn't have dreamed of such a coincidence. Their paths had crossed without her knowing!

"Are you okay there?" Everett handed her a napkin, feigning ignorance of the panic flickering in her eyes.

"I'm fine! Mr. Lopez, please hurry up with your meal." As he mentioned looking for the business card, she squirmed with discomfort. "I'm really eager to meet with Byte 7!"

Everett raised an eyebrow. "So eager you can't even spare a moment for me to find a card?"
