Quickly hanging up the phone, Dorothy hurriedly hailed a cab.
At that time, she treated Everett just like her job, always on call and at his beck and call.
Thinking about her mother's scolding for her shamelessness, she wished she could have had it if possible.
...
Once Dorothy arrived at the Bay Residence, she saw Everett still in his suit, looking every bit the business elite, sitting behind the living room table in a video conference.
Being a CEO wasn't all fun and games, and it was especially the case for Everett. The success of the Lopez Corporation was all due to his meticulous work attitude.
Hearing a noise, he glanced towards the entrance and gestured for her to wait.
Dorothy didn’t dare to disturb his work, so she bypassed the living room and went into the bedroom.
After some thought, she picked up her phone and dialed Karen.
She told her about her mother asking to meet her boyfriend. But of course, she didn’t mention the marriage or Everett.
"So, you just need a guy to put on a show in front of your mom, huh?"
Karen nailed Dorothy's predicament with pinpoint accuracy.
"Yes."
"Then what are you worrying about? My brother! I'll call him now!"
As she was about to hang up, Dorothy quickly said, "No way! I know my mom too well. She definitely won't say anything nice."
Most likely she would have given him a hard time from beginning to end.
Kenneth wasn't related to her in any way. Why should he have put up with such humiliation?
That was exactly why Dorothy didn’t dare to mention that to Everett.
What if her mother scolded him harshly and he decided to terminate the contract?

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...
