The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1140

How could Dorothy not harbor resentment?

Yet, she had no desire to waste her precious energy on hating someone anymore.

With the time she had, Dorothy preferred to spend it with her kids, and with Everett. Even if it meant cooking up his favorite dish or baking a batch of semi-sweet cookies for him, life felt meaningful.

As for Quincy, well, karma has its way of dealing with the wicked.

...

Even though Everett was supposed to be back at the office, working as usual, he couldn't shake off his concerns and asked Kevin to lend a hand.

Seeing Kevin's car parked outside didn't surprise Dorothy one bit.

She knew it!

With Everett's nature, he would never let her handle everything on her own.

"Ms. Sanchez, now that you and Mr. Lopez are back together, are you planning to return to the office?" Kevin couldn't forget that his boss's newly reconciled girlfriend was also his apprentice.

As he skillfully loaded the luggage into the trunk, he asked her.

Dorothy took a final look around the house to make sure nothing was left behind, then turned to him, "No, I won't be going back."

"Really? I was hoping, after we finalize the project in Lumina Bay, to ask Mr. Lopez if you could lead it! I've taught you everything, you should be able to handle it with ease."

Dorothy chuckled, "After three ins and outs at the Lopez Corporation, people have started to speculate a lot! I don't want to be the subject of gossip."

Kevin grimaced, "Who would dare? Mr. Lopez would have their head!"

At the Lopez Corporation, no one dared to cross her.

"That's exactly why I don't want to go back! At the Lopez Corporation, with him always protecting me, no matter my abilities or accomplishments, everyone would think it's all because Everett has my back, giving me an unfair advantage!"

"What about joining another company? What will Mr. Lopez do? Surely, he can't compete with you for business one day! If that happens, our Lopez Corporation would be in trouble, wouldn't it? You'll just take whichever project you want, and whichever company you join will rise to the top!"
