The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 130

Throughout the meal, Dorothy had half a mind to ask him what the hell he meant by what he just said. But in the end, she kept it all bottled up inside.

Right now, she should be going all out to find evidence, not getting distracted by these wild thoughts.

After dinner, Everett got dragged away by a phone call.

But before that, he made sure to drop Dorothy back at Karen's place. However, like a broken record, he repeated that she had to move back to Bay Residence by tomorrow at the latest.

After returning to her room, her mind was a mess. She couldn't make heads or tails of anything.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was Bella.

"Back from your business trip?"

"Uh-huh, but work's been crazy, so I haven't had a chance to come and see you."

Bella chuckled. "You do your thing. If you don't have time, there’s no need to come see me. I'm still kicking!"

Dorothy didn't tell her mom about what happened. She didn’t want another person to worry about it.

"Just wait till I sort out everything here, then I'll come over."

"Bring Kenneth along then. I've got something to tell him. You've been so busy; he should be more understanding."

Dorothy paused, not saying a word.

She'd planned to tell her mom everything after her surgery. But she didn't have the energy to deal with her mom right now. She just wanted to find the evidence ASAP.

"He's also swamped. I don't want to bother him."

"You shouldn't think like that! A man needs to be kept busy, not idle, so you can see through his actions if he truly cares about you."

All Dorothy could do was sigh at her mom's preaching.

"I got it."

"Why do I get the feeling you're tired today? Dorothy, did something happen?" Bella finally sensed something was off.
