“So, he’s not gonna pick up the phone, huh? Fine.” Dorothy thought.
[Okay then, no worries. You do you.]
Dorothy typed out the message on WhatsApp and slid her phone back into her purse.
The cab pulled up to the towering glass facade of Lopez Corporation, and Dorothy strode through the revolving doors. She rode the elevator up to the fourth-floor offices, where her project team was based.
Just her luck, as soon as she stepped out, there she was—Ophelia—looking like trouble with a capital T.
Dorothy really wanted to avoid any drama, but she kept her cool and walked toward her office in her clicking heels.
Ophelia's eyes narrowed as she watched Dorothy's confident stride, her irritation growing by the second.
“Dorothy, hold it right there!”
She knew Austin was out of the office discussing business with a business partner, and without him, there was no one to back Dorothy up.
"Yes?" Dorothy asked, pausing and turning to face her.
Ophelia scoffed, arms crossed as if she ruled the place. "Look at you, strutting around like a vixen. You think just because Austin has a soft spot for you and wants to chase you, you can throw your weight around here?"
Dorothy frowned. "What are you on about? I have no clue what you’re saying."
"Oh, please! Drop the act. It's so obvious what you're after. If it's not Austin, who else here could possibly meet your high standards?" Ophelia rolled her eyes and spat on the floor in disgust. "Pathetic! Going after married men, you're really something..."
Smack!
It was a loud, resounding slap that Dorothy delivered without a moment's hesitation.

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...
