Eleanor's smile was incongruous with her otherwise demure appearance. It held an air of nonchalance that seemed out of place on her gentle features.
"I mean, the guy I had a thing for got hitched years ago. So, I totally understand his feeling. I see you're flying solo too, Dorothy. Ever thought about…?"
Dorothy cut in swiftly, eager to set the record straight, "Kenneth is just a friend to me, nothing more. I'm already into someone else and that's not going to change."
Eleanor arched an eyebrow, "Must be quite the catch to snag your attention."
"He is exceptional."
Exceptional to the point where she felt unworthy.
"Well, here's to hoping things work out with your Mr. Right!"
"Thanks," Dorothy said with a small smile. "And you and Kenneth—are wedding bells in your future?"
Eleanor paused, mulling it over seriously. "I guess so. I mean, I'm not about to be the other woman and steal someone else's man. If Kenneth pops the question, I'd say yes." She said.
Dorothy wanted to warn her that marriages of convenience might not last, that she might regret it, but she held back. After all, marriage itself was a kind of fate, wasn't it? She had been in love with Everett, and yet, they were divorced. Who could predict the future?
For adults, all that mattered was to take responsibility for their own choices.
"I just hope I'll get an invite to your wedding." Dorothy concluded.
Eleanor missed the deeper meaning behind Dorothy's words, assuming she was just offering reassurance.
"No need to be so cautious with your words. Like I said, it's all good."
Dorothy just smiled, offering no explanation.

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...
