Sandwiched in the middle of a dilemma, Kevin was definitely feeling the pinch.
"Everett's not picking up his phone."
"Then keep calling until he does. Mr. Lopez is holding onto his phone."
Dorothy's brows knitted in frustration. "Alright, I got it."
She ended the call and switched to texting on Everett's WhatsApp.
[Call me back, or you can forget about seeing me again!]
True to form, less than a minute after she hit send, her phone rang with Everett's name flashing on the screen.
Taking the call, Dorothy made her way to the CEO's office door and punched in the code - 0825.
The lock beeped affirmatively.
Sure enough, the office code hadn't changed.
On the phone, Everett's deep, raspy voice came through. "You're in my office?"
He could tell just from the sound!
"Yeah," Dorothy didn't bother hiding it, "Aren't you supposed to be at the company? And making Kevin keep secrets from me, what's that about?"
"You care?"
"Don't give me that!" Dorothy was irked.
She had thought Everett would never lie to her.
"I'll come to the office for you."
Everett still didn't disclose his location.
But Dorothy was persistent. "No, I'll come to you! Tell me where you are."
"You don't want to know."
"I do want to know! Everett, you better think carefully before you speak to me!"
The line went silent, and after a few seconds, he let out a heavy sigh.
"I'm at the cemetery."

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...
