Today, Abigail and Langston, who were buzzing with excitement, played until the wee hours of the morning before finally hitting the hay.
Dorothy made sure the kids were sound asleep before retreating to her bedroom, indulging in a relaxing shower and slipping into her pajamas.
Everett had been glued to his work ever since dinner, his eyes now locked on the computer screen with an intensity that seemed to light up the room.
But Dorothy didn't feel neglected, not one bit. In fact, she adored Everett when he was in work mode!
With his gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, a slight furrow in his brow, he listened intently to the report from the person on the other end of the call.
Every now and then, he'd push up his glasses with the tip of his finger, exuding a no-nonsense vibe that made Dorothy itch to plant a kiss right on the bridge of his nose…
Dorothy naturally had her own world too.
Recent events had thrown a wrench into her projects, yet no one from the company had come knocking for updates. She didn't need a crystal ball to know why.
Kevin must have stepped in.
Effortlessly, she logged into the Lopez Corporation's software and was stunned to find her title had changed from assistant to director.
Even with East Star Enterprises merging into the Lopez Corporation, she couldn't fathom how she qualified for the director's chair.
Everett noticed her account go active and lifted his gaze to meet hers.
She blinked in surprise, "How'd you know I was online so fast?"
Her position, even as a director, didn't warrant a direct line to the CEO's account of the Lopez Corporation! Plus, he was in a meeting. So he surely couldn’t monitor employee logins all the time, right?
Everett's lips curved into a slight smile as he swiveled his screen to show her.
A pop-up notification was on display, alerting Everett that the project director of the Lopez Corporation, Dorothy, was online.
There was actually a feature for that? She thought to herself.
He answered her silent question in a low voice as he could read her heart, "I had your son design it. It's just for you and me."

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
