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."

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...
