The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1245

"Fine, you've got three days. Don't play any tricks on me when the time comes!"

The man was about to hang up.

Quincy felt a sting of injustice. Why were so many guys willing to bend over backwards for Dorothy?

This was ten million dollars, not just a thousand! And to hand that over without any guarantee, he must really be smitten with Dorothy.

"Wait a sec! Can you at least tell me your name?"

"Why do you wanna know?"

"No big reason, just curious. We've made a deal after all, knowing your name isn't too much to ask, right?"

The man was silent for a few seconds, and just when Quincy thought he wouldn't divulge his name, he suddenly spoke up.

"Lane."

"What?"

"I said, my name's Lane."

As night fell, Everett hadn't returned.

Usually, if he wasn't home by this hour and hadn't gotten in touch, it meant he was probably out playing some charade with Quincy.

Dorothy wasn't upset, more contemplative than anything.

He would always stay by her side.

Abigail and Langston had finished their homework and were now chattering about their day at school, their lively banter bringing the house to life.
