The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 580

"Indeed."

When Karen first found out that Everett had a thing for Dorothy, she was gobsmacked!

Every girl dreams about some high-powered CEO sweeping her off her feet, but the reality of bridging that gap isn't just about mutual attraction. It's about crossing a minefield of social lines.

"Ah, if only I had introduced you two sooner!" lamented Karen, then caught herself, "And, Kenneth, if only you had broken up with your ex a bit earlier! The moment I heard you were single, I played matchmaker with Dorothy. You can't pin this one on me!"

Kenneth chuckled and ruffled her messy hair.

"It's just not meant to be, no one's to blame."

...

Dorothy had slept through most of the flight. She only woke up when the plane began its descent.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Everett's gaze locked on hers.

He was half-reclined in his seat, propping himself up with one arm. The recent events had slimmed him down, making his features even more sharply defined and his presence somewhat more brooding.

Dressed down in a simple white T-shirt rather than his usual business attire, Dorothy thought she was back in middle school for a moment, gazing at the boy who used to steal her breath away.

"Have you been staring at me this whole time?"

Dorothy noticed the deep creases in his palm.

He had been holding that pose for a while!

"Not for long." Just a few hours.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Dorothy's cheeks turned pink, "Are we about to land? Karen's probably waiting for us at the airport."

"You got Karen to come?"

"Yeah."

Everett frowned slightly, "There's something I need to tell you before we land."

Dorothy saw the seriousness on his face and quickly asked, "What?"

"Jeffrey is here too, to pick us up."
