The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 53

The next morning, when Dorothy woke up, Everett had already left.

On the living room table outside their suite, there was breakfast he had ordered for her in advance. Next to it was a handwritten note.

[There's a charity event today. I'll contact you when it's over.]

She knew it! There must have been other reasons for Everett to go to Havenbrook City.

After washing up and having breakfast, Dorothy met up with Kevin.

Since she had thoroughly checked Edward's information yesterday, all she needed to do today was to look into the operation of Social Networking Service! Even though the person in charge sent over all the reports overnight, to be cautious, they still went to the company for a site examination.

After a busy day, Dorothy's admiration for Everett went up a notch.

That was why Everett insisted on introducing himself as the project leader to Mr. Ryan! As soon as she arrived at Social Networking Service, from the top leaders to the basic staff, they were all very cautious around her, thinking twice even before answering anything.

That way, it was much easier for Kevin to investigate the actual situation. After all, not many people were paying attention to him.

In the evening, she and Kevin found a restaurant. As soon as they sat down, Dorothy began to review the due diligence materials.

Kevin laughed, "I was wondering why you were so shifty when you first saw me today! Turns out you were afraid I'd be upset."

"This project has a huge investment. It's one of the core projects of the Lopez Corporation. You've done a lot of preparation for it, but I just swooped in and took all the credit. If I were you, I'd be unhappy too."

"That's because you're new to the workforce." Kevin didn't seem to care at all. "Mr. Lopez knows exactly who did what and how much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made the Lopez Corporation so big! Although you are the project leader, the pay that should be given to me is not a penny less. This way, we can distract the other company's attention, improve the accuracy of our investigation, and reduce investment risks. Why should I be upset?”

"I know that they got to know each other quite early. Other than that, I don't know much."

"Oh."

"Speaking of which, you and Mr. Lopez were pretty close, too, right? Last time in Fujinon City, when you came to find Mr. Lopez, he had just finished a meeting and hadn't rested long, but he still let you in when he heard your voice."

Normally, he wouldn't have seen anyone at that time.

Suddenly reminded of the past, Dorothy felt a bit awkward, "Well...we were not only classmates, but also deskmates."

"Ah! I remember now! Were you the one staying in room 1501 during that business trip?"
