The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 866

Everett had deleted her, and somehow, Dorothy felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Thank goodness... thank goodness the call didn't go through.

Dorothy was convinced she had lost her mind; the more she thought about it, the more certain she became.

From the moment she wanted to hear his voice, she knew she wasn't herself; she was bewitched!

If the call had connected, the fallout would have been unimaginable. All the harsh words she'd previously hurled at Everett would have been overturned, and even worse... he might have caught on to her scheme.

She quickly set her phone aside as if it were a hot potato.

Liberty City.

Everett was driving back to his residence after wrapping up a meeting. He was no longer shacking up with Abigail and Langston at a hotel but had instead purchased a property in the area.

As he was about to reach home, his phone rang with a call from Jeffrey.

"What is it?"

Everett answered through his hands-free headset.

"Man, why do you always greet me with that line?" Jeffrey sounded a bit miffed, "As if I can't call you unless there's something pressing!"

"Because you rarely call about something serious, and I rarely have time to chat about trivia."

Jeffrey couldn't help but laugh at his friend's blunt manner.

"Alright, alright. But I do have something this time."

"Spill it."

"You asked me to help you sell Bay Residence, right? I got contacted by a couple who had just returned to Eldorria City from abroad. They really like the tranquil vibe of Bay Residence."

Everett's grip on the steering wheel tightened ever so slightly before he replied, "Handle it as you see fit."

"I hope you're serious about selling it, man. Don't make me take a deposit and then you get cold feet. You know what Bay Residence means to you."
