The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 87

About to meet Everett, huh?

Dorothy couldn't quite put into words how she was feeling at that time. It was like hanging in mid-air, not knowing whether to go up or down.

Part of her wanted to find an excuse to bail, but then again, why run?

After all, she and Everett had to sort things out sooner or later, be it breaking up or whatever. They were bound to cross paths eventually.

Kevin had given his instructions and left, which left Dorothy unable to focus on work the rest of the afternoon. Her mind was preoccupied with the upcoming evening meeting.

After work, she stepped out of the office and saw Kenneth's car parked in the distance, with Karen waiting by the side.

Dorothy quickly headed over, "What brings you guys here?"

"I figured the head office is far from my place, and Kenneth here was free, so I asked him to give us a ride."

"No need. I can just take the subway."

Karen looped her arm through Dorothy's affectionately, giggling, "I just wanted to spend more time with you! When we were at the Prosperity Consortium, we could see each other every day. Now that you're here, I've got no one to chat with!"

Dorothy was left speechless by Karen's antics, and she simply shrugged and replied, "Then you better buckle down and work hard. Mr. Percy has been too busy to bother you lately, but come year-end, he'll be all over your performance."

"Scared of him?" Karen rolled her eyes dramatically, "And if he does, I'll just quit! I've had enough of his way of doing things. He’s always trying to grab the glory but blaming others when things go wrong."

Karen wasn't under pressure to earn money. Her family didn't depend on it.

But things were different for Dorothy.

Kenneth, who had been silent all that while, chimed in, "That's just how it is in the workplace these days. Not just in your company, even among teaching staff and principals."

"Do you get bullied by your principal too?"
