Even with a baby bump keeping her largely homebound, Karen's thirst for the latest scoop was insatiable.
She'd prowl through every corporate forum within reach of her laptop, eager to sniff out any piece of news, no matter how quirky or obscure.
"My news?" Dorothy raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
She'd been flying under the radar at Lopez Corporation, making a beeline for the exit as soon as the clock struck five, barely mingling with her team. How could there possibly be something about her?
"Yep, it's definitely about you!"
"Oh, I'll check it out later then." Dorothy's hands were busy arranging a bouquet of flowers.
"No, you need to look now! Immediately!"
Dorothy paused. She could tell from Karen's tone that something big was up.
So after ending the call, she logged onto the Lopez Incorporated gossip board. She expected to have to dig around for the post about her, but to her surprise, it was marked with a 'Hot' tag!
Dorothy was bracing for something juicy as she clicked. All she found, however, were a few stealthy snapshots of her holding the bouquet as she left work.
The thread had attracted other stealthy photographers from earlier that day, turning it into a gallery of images capturing her from every conceivable angle.
"Our Lopez Corporation is teeming with beauties, but this lady is by far the most stunning and ethereal I've seen! She's like an enigma that draws me in and makes me want to unravel her story!"
"Will you quit it with the 'story' nonsense? Didn't you see the flowers in her arms?"
"What about the flowers? She must have loads of admirers. It's not like only a boyfriend can give flowers!"
"I recognize this beauty; feels like I've seen her around Lopez Corporation. ages ago."
"Yeah, I think I've seen her too! Wasn't she in Project Management?"
This wasn't Dorothy's first rodeo; she'd been the subject of similar attention during her days at Prosperity Consortium and had never paid it much mind.
But this was Lopez Corporation! That was the major problem.

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...
