The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 123

It seemed that, for Dorothy’s sake, he could even put his project in Lumina Bay on hold.

Everett got out of the car, looking like he hadn't gotten much sleep last night. His handsome face looked a bit tired, and his eyes were shadowed with dark circles.

"What happened?" Amanda, noticing her son's unusual state, asked as she approached him.

"Nothing. I’ve just been busy with work and didn't get much shut-eye." He didn’t want to reveal these issues to his mom, so he turned his gaze to Heather, who was standing beside her. "Ms. Heather, can I have a word with you in private?"

Heather nodded and smiled. "You can give me a lift to the office. It saves me from having to drive. Amanda, Everett's gonna take me. I'll be heading off with him."

"Off you go!" Amanda was all too happy to see this.

She was thrilled to see her son finally warming up to Heather.

With his mom around, Everett didn't say much. "Let's get going then."

"Alright. Come back after work."

"Sure."

Everett started walking, not bothering to wait for Heather, who was lagging behind.

She almost twisted her ankle. She couldn’t keep up with him in her high heels.

Everett's question wasn't really a question, but a statement.

Heather looked at him with disappointment written all over her face. "You think I did this? Because Dorothy told you I was out to get her?"

"Then what?"
