"He's probably... gone incognito or something, right?"
After all, Everett's system access was way more advanced than that of the other employees. A little invisibility trick was definitely within his capabilities.
"I checked, he's not incognito, just not here."
"Maybe he's in a meeting that doesn't require system access."
These kinds of meetings surely existed, like listening to subordinates’ reports, quarterly reviews, or handling project receptions, legal department contract liaisons, and so on.
But, typically, Kevin could handle such tasks; it was unusual for Everett to handle them personally.
Especially when he hadn’t even returned a single call, just for those tasks?
"Why not give him another call! I have this sneaky suspicion Dad might be having an affair."
Dorothy sighed, giving her son's head a gentle pat. "Don't talk nonsense! Your father would never do such a thing. Where on earth are you picking up such words? Don’t use them again, okay?"
Langston stuck out his tongue and then bounded upstairs with Abigail.
They continued to play, carefree as ever, leaving Dorothy with a nagging sense of uncertainty.
Everett was acting out of character.
After a few minutes of internal debate, Dorothy finally picked up her phone.
She wasn't worried about infidelity; she was worried something had happened to him, and he was keeping it from her!
This time, the phone rang and rang with no answer.
Dorothy's anxiety spiked; she tried again, still no answer.
She decided to call Kevin's mobile number directly, and after a few tones, Kevin picked up.
"Ms. Sanchez."
"Kevin, are you at the office?"
"Uh, yes, I am. What's up?"
"I've been trying to call Everett, and he's not answering. Is he still tied up?" Dorothy stood up from the couch, ready to grab her car keys and head to the office to see for herself.

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...
