The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 914

Dorothy barely noticed the flash of Everett’s phone screen, giving it a subconscious glance but not really paying attention.

As a CEO, his days were typically swamped, and people constantly sought him out.

Lately, she couldn't help but think that Everett must have been putting off a lot of work because of her.

The thought made her heart heavy, as if something was squeezing her throat, making it hard to breathe.

If she were gone, then Everett wouldn't have to waste his time on her anymore...

Everything could just end.

"Dorothy? Dorothy!"

Karen's voice sharply pulled her back to reality.

Dorothy's body jerked, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"What's up?" she tried to sound as normal as possible.

Karen pointed at Dorothy’s purse. "Your phone's been ringing. Didn't you hear it?"

Indeed, she hadn't noticed at all.

Pulling out her phone, she saw it was a call from Dr. Quincy.

Why would she suddenly reach out to her?

Worried Karen might overhear something and get the wrong idea, Dorothy stood up to take the call a little away.

"Hello, Dr. Quincy."

"I've been trying to reach you! I've been calling Mr. Lopez, no answer, and you weren't picking up either," Quincy's voice, even in a rush, was still gentle and soothing, like clear, calming waters, "Did Mr. Lopez see the rehab instructions I sent him?"

Dorothy paused for a moment.

Thinking back to earlier, when Everett's phone screen lit up repeatedly, was it Quincy messaging him?

"I'm not sure, you should wait for his reply," Dorothy couldn't confirm whether Everett saw the messages or not.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

If it was...
