The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 50

Dorothy took his threat as an empty bark from a tired dog.

That woman had been itching to become the main wife all along. She was constantly pushing Maxton to get a divorce. Despite countless attempts, Bella just wouldn't sign the damn divorce papers, leaving her stuck with the label of a mistress.

She could understand her mother. That was the main reason why her mom kept going.

When Dorothy got back, even though her face was extremely pale, Kevin didn't prod any further and acted like nothing had happened. They ate and then were summoned back to the Social Networking Service headquarters.

Everett and his crew must have just finished their meal since they were lounging on the couch in the reception room. His suit jacket was casually draped over his arm, and his long legs were crossed.

Seeing Dorothy, he waved her over.

Not wanting to keep him waiting, she quickly made her way over to him, greeting him with a polite smile. "Mr. Lopez."

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Ryan from the Social Networking Service."

"Hello, Mr. Ryan." Dorothy didn't get why he was suddenly introducing this man to her, but she knew she had to keep up the pretense of politeness. She couldn't embarrass the Lopez Corporation.

Since Everett was making an effort to introduce this woman to him, Mr. Ryan figured she must be someone special. He extended his hand with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you."

"Dorothy is the one I've assigned to handle our collaboration. If there's anything you need, you can go directly to her."

This hit her like a bomb.

Dorothy was completely stunned.

Since when did she become the project manager? She… She was still green!

"Ms. Sanchez looks so young. I wouldn't have guessed she's your right-hand, Mr. Lopez. My bad." Mr. Ryan instantly saw Dorothy in a new light, and his eyes held a hint of flattery.
