The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 976

She said "It's tough" without a hitch in her voice.

But that didn't begin to cover the endless days and nights.

Dorothy was well aware of her own flaws, especially her penchant for harsh words.

What would he feel after hearing them? Surely, it would be unbearable.

"If you think I've had it tough, just make it up to me."

Dorothy nodded obediently, "Don't worry! Anything I can do to help you at work, I'll definitely give it my all. As for making it up to you in other ways... well, it's tough since you really aren't wanting for anything."

"Who says?"

"So, what are you wanting?"

Everett's gaze fixed on her face, the answer nearly escaping his lips, "You. I'm missing you."

Dorothy didn't avoid his gaze; she met it squarely and then took Everett's hand, "I'm yours, you're not missing anything, you're not wanting for anything."

"Is that a promise?"

"Unless you don't want me anymore."

Everett's body stiffened, pulling her into his embrace, "How could there ever come a day like that?"

Dorothy chuckled a few times, stood up from his embrace, walked over to the executive desk, picked up a pen, and crossed out the one-year mark, writing 'forever' next to it.

"No turning back now?" Everett smiled at her.

After all, Dorothy was always one to have a backup plan.

"I still have one," Dorothy smiled back, "You are my forever backup plan."

Everett raised an eyebrow, "You're quite the sweet talker today."

"I can't handle that responsibility!" Austin waved his hand, lowering his voice, "Others might not know who you are, but how could I not? Coming back to the Lopez Corporation, does that mean you and Mr. Lopez... made up?"

Dorothy gave a smile that served as confirmation.

"Don't tell anyone else, I don't want any special treatment."

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed!"

Austin was a sharp one!

With Dorothy on the fourth project team, the company's resources were bound to lean a bit towards the fourth project team. After all, the CEO's spouse was here, especially since he had witnessed firsthand how much Mr. Lopez adored her!

Thinking back, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed Mr. Lopez could look at anyone with such fondness! After all, Mr. Lopez was known for being aloof and reserved.

In the business world, wasn't he described as decisive and as cold as ice, hardly wasting words?
