The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 873

Dorothy thought Everett's way of turning down women was pure gold, and she filed it away for future use.

"What?" Stephen was taken aback. "But Austin said you…"

"Mr. Stephen, are you under the impression that I might be single?"

Stephen was speechless.

Without wasting another breath on him, Dorothy spun on her heel and returned to her desk, dismissing him entirely.

A few seconds later, Stephen sulkily walked away.

She wrapped up her workload, and it was nearly time to clock out. Just as she was about to leave, her phone buzzed with a call from Kenneth.

"Dorothy, you off work yet?"

"Almost! What's up?"

"My girlfriend wants to meet you and Karen. And with Karen being heavily pregnant, it's not easy for her, so I was thinking… How about you join us for dinner?"

Kenneth's tone was casual, as if completely wrapped up in the throes of love.

"Another time, perhaps. I've got to swing by West Legal Services."

"Oh, is it about the lawsuit?"

"Kind of."

There was a pause on the line. "Alright then! If you need anything, just give me a ring."

"Sure will."

Hanging up, Dorothy grabbed her purse and left the Lopez Building, hailing a cab straight to West Legal Services.

Upon entering, she spotted Ephraim chatting with some clients.

Seeing Dorothy, he quickly wrapped up the conversation and headed her way.

"Ms. Sanchez, were you looking for me?"

"Yes," Dorothy nodded. "I was wondering… who will be attending the trial on the other side? Will Everett be there?"
