The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1019

Originally, Quincy wanted to sort out his thoughts before making a decision.

But it was clear that Everett had no intention of compromising.

Why should all the hardship fall on him, while Everett and Dorothy could enjoy their perfect harmony?

Didn't Dorothy always preach about fairness?

Then, all Quincy wanted was a bit of that fairness.

He had deliberately mentioned his relationship with Everett in front of Dorothy, hoping it would spark a dispute between them, so he wouldn't have to exert himself further.

...

Though Dorothy's competence at work was undeniable, pushing the project forward always seemed to bring unforeseen troubles.

For two consecutive days, she had to work overtime until nightfall before she could return to Bay Residence.

"I can't keep doing this so late."

Had it not been for Abigail's slip of the tongue, Everett wouldn't have known she was coming home just slightly earlier than him!

"It's fine! Look at me, I'm as fit as a fiddle, full of energy every day at work." Dorothy saw his expression darken and quickly went over to hold his hand and coo, "Just a couple more days and it will all be sorted, I promise!"

"I can't believe you'd disregard your health for work and not tell me. How can I take your word for it now?"

Dorothy raised her hand, as if swearing an oath, "Really, really! You can check the project's progress yourself. Right now, it's because the supplier has run into some issues, so we need to prepare a plan B urgently! If we can't recover in the short term, we need to quickly find a new supplier to fill in."

Otherwise, not only would the project be delayed, but it would also consume a significant amount of funding!

She felt it was a critical moment, with everyone in the project team working overtime to calculate costs and find suitable suppliers. Austin hadn't been home for several nights in a row either; she couldn't be the one to bail.

"I'll assign you an assistant." Everett frowned slightly, then said, "I'll have Kevin help you out."
