The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 775

Everett's lithe fingers paused, and he looked up sharply.

"Threatening me?"

"Wouldn't dream of it."

Of course, he wouldn’t dare to threaten the CEO, but he knew that Ms. Sanchez would, and that was enough.

Everett's gaze lowered again, returning to the tablet in his hands.

Kevin fell silent, no longer speaking, just focusing on driving.

For a few moments, the air in the car was thick with awkwardness.

Finally, after a few minutes, Everett spoke in a deep tone.

"Take me to the hospital."

"You got it, Mr. Lopez!"

The next morning Dorothy was up at dawn and headed straight to the office.

For the Lopez Corporation, this project was central but not exceptionally large. However, for the fourth project team, it was like a pie falling from the sky. And devouring that pie wasn't going to be easy.

Dorothy had no intention of being the weak link, so she was determined to give it her all.

As she arrived at the office, she saw Austin and Ophelia walking side by side ahead of her, deep in conversation with grim expressions on their faces.

After putting Ophelia in her place the day before, Dorothy had no desire to start another confrontation, so she took a detour and took another elevator.

Opening the door to her office, she was about to set down her computer when she saw Austin heading her way with breakfast in hand.

"Ms. Sanchez, this is for you!"

Dorothy blinked in surprise, gesturing no. "I'm not really in the mood for breakfast."

She was always wary of any kind of advances from men, regardless of their intent, preferring to avoid them when possible.

But Austin quickly explained, "I didn't buy this, I swear! I just saw you coming in and thought I'd bring it over."
