The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 13

Not just Dorothy, but even the assistant was taken aback.

Having worked with Mr. Lopez for so many years, no woman had ever been involved in his life. Now, he was asking his assistant to buy that kind of stuff? Everyone knew what was up.

"Alright, Mr. Lopez."

Dorothy's face went hot with embarrassment upon hearing this conversation. But in front of Everett, she couldn't act all shy and reserved. So she pretended to be calm and looked out the window.

She had thought it through, and she had agreed to Everett's proposal willingly. If she acted all coy, it would only turn him off. Besides, what was the point of playing hard-to-get when faced with absolute wealth and power?

To put it bluntly, it was a mutual agreement. He was paying, and he was putting in the effort.

The most important thing now was to keep Everett happy. This way, at least she wouldn't have to worry about her mother’s medical bills for a while, and she could learn a lot about work from Everett.

However, as open-minded as she was, when she actually got into bed after taking a shower and changing into a nightgown, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

When Everett finished his international video conference and returned to the bedroom, this was the scene he saw.

She was lying neatly on one side of the bed, dressed in his nightgown. Since it was so big, the loose fabric barely covered her fair skin and her long, straight legs.

He would be lying if he said he had no dirty thoughts. But he chose not to indulge himself. At least not tonight.

"Dorothy."

"Yes."

"I've circled all the problematic parts of the SinoSuccess Enterprises project. Ask me if you don't understand tomorrow. Go to sleep for now."

Dorothy blinked. "Aren't you going to..."

"Not tonight."
