The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1180

"Why are you blushing?"

His comment caught Dorothy off guard!

"It's a secret."

Everett cleared his throat, obviously not keen on continuing that line of conversation.

But Dorothy had asked, and she was determined to get an answer! Especially with Everett looking like that, her curiosity was through the roof.

"What secret can't you share with me?"

"…It's hot, so I sweated."

That explanation wouldn't convince Dorothy, let alone anyone else!

"Just spill it, I want to know." Dorothy tugged at his shirt sleeve gently.

She was pulling out all the stops with her charm. Everett couldn't possibly hold back now!

"Really want to know?"

He raised an eyebrow, leaning in closer.

Dorothy nodded, "Yes! Teach me, maybe I can use it someday."

The sweat on Everett's forehead was real enough to fool Quincy, who was a doctor.

This was surely a skill!

"I could tell you, but you wouldn't be able to learn it."

Everett said, barely able to keep a straight face.

That smile...

Suddenly, Dorothy had a bad feeling.

"Stop! I don't want to know anymore!"

This didn't sound like any proper lesson.

"No way, you asked, now I must answer." Everett easily overpowered her, pinning her down, "What do you think makes a person sweat?"

Dorothy blinked, already feeling the change in his body.

But she figured, they were in a hospital, Everett wouldn't really do anything...

"Sweat? Like, sauna? Or, working out?"

"Right, working out."
