Before Dorothy could utter another word, Everett had already hung up.
It felt like their relationship had suddenly returned to the whole boss-and-secretary dynamic.
It made sense. He was back with Heather. What place could she, the stand-in, have possibly held?
After shutting down her computer, Dorothy took a shower, and changed into her pajamas but then found herself lying in bed, unable to sleep.
She was tossing and turning, yet sleep eluded her.
It was already the early hours of the morning, and if she didn't get some shut-eye soon, it would have been time for work!
Dorothy closed her eyes tightly, but no matter what, she just didn't feel sleepy, so she reluctantly got up and rebooted her computer to continue working.
Just as she logged onto the company software, she noticed that Everett was still online.
Was he also not sleeping?
After staring at the screen for a while, it suddenly occurred to Dorothy that Everett was abroad, with a time difference. It was afternoon for him at that time.
She tugged at her lips, a self-mocking smile playing on her face.
She was seriously getting ahead of herself, even bothering about the boss's every move!
Dorothy archived all the data of Genesis Creations Inc. and then handed over all the projects related to Kenneth to Kevin.
As for Everett's decision, she had no complaints.
She understood that after considering all aspects, he felt she was not competent or prone to errors, so he asked her to hand it over.
But his cold and calculated analysis and decision, devoid of any trace of emotion, made Dorothy feel estranged.
Everett was still the high-and-mighty boss, holding the power of life and death over the entire company, as if the gentle and considerate him from before was a figment of her imagination, and the cold him was the real deal.
Early the next morning, Dorothy had to go to work with dark circles under her eyes due to a sleepless night.

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...
