The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 795

Jeff looked at the words and burst into crazy laughter. He'd always pegged Everett as a closet drama king, always bottling things up and thinking he was so slick. But when it came to anything involving Dorothy, the guy would lose his cool faster than a house of cards in a windstorm!

If Everett didn't make it back to Eldorria City in three days, Jeffrey would eat his hat!

...

From a distance, Karen spotted Jeffrey, waving as she stepped out of Dorothy's office.

He nodded and strode into the fourth project team's bullpen, where Austin immediately spotted him.

"Mr. Turner! What brings you here?" Austin exclaimed.

In Lopez Corporation, everyone knew about Jeffrey's bromance with Everett, so they naturally treated him with a great deal of respect.

Lately, Jeffrey had been attending the big cheese meetings on behalf of Everett, basically acting like a deputy CEO.

"Just visiting my better half."

"Uh?" Austin was baffled. "Your... your wife works in the fourth project team too?"

Jeffrey furrowed his brow, clearly annoyed, "You running a census here or what?"

"Of course not, sir!"

Ignoring Austin, he walked straight into Dorothy's office.

Behind him, Austin watched Jeffrey's retreating figure, mulling over the words he'd just heard.

Mr. Turner heading to Dorothy's office to see his better half?

"Jeffrey, are you finished with the meeting?" Karen stood up and walked over to him, snuggling into his embrace as soon as he walked in.

The picture of affection.

"Yeah." Jeffrey stroked Karen's hair absentmindedly, then turned to Dorothy, "It's about lunchtime. How about we grab a bite together?"

Dorothy was taken aback and shook her head, "I can't, I've got work to do. The project can't run without its members. Go ahead without me."

"Come on, it's just lunch! It won't take long!" Karen knew Dorothy was busy, so she suggested, "Let Jeffrey help you out after lunch, okay?"

[Having lunch.]

[With whom?]

Despite her confusion, Dorothy dutifully replied: [With Jeffrey and Karen.]

She didn't get a response from Everett, but Jeffrey's phone rang almost immediately!

"Um? Everett's calling me. I'll step out to take this; it might be work-related!"

"Go ahead."

Dorothy assumed that Everett must have tried to call Jeffrey first and, not getting through, reached out to her instead.

Why else would Everett randomly ask such a question?

Outside, as soon as Jeffrey answered the call, he could tell Everett was not in a good mood.

"Did you invite Dorothy out for lunch?"
