The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 135

But if the person she really cared about didn't believe her, what was the point if others did?

"Sometimes I really admire Dorothy." She admitted. "She's got Everett on a tight leash, and I've got nothing. All I do is help him in business."

"He'll see your worth sooner or later. Plus, you've got Amanda from the Lopez family on your side, so what's there to fear? With Dorothy's status, she can't even step foot into the Lopez's territory, let alone be acknowledged by his mom."

Heather didn't respond, but she knew better than Jeffrey. If she wanted to limit Everett's actions now, she had to win over his mother.

Surely, Everett wouldn't disregard his mother just to be with Dorothy.

...

After leaving Heather's office, Dorothy headed straight to the paternity test center Karen had recommended with samples in hand.

Normally, this kind of rule-breaking wouldn't be allowed, but luckily she had Karen to vouch for her.

After sorting everything out, Dorothy received a call from Everett on her way back to the office.

She had assumed he would be by Heather's side in the hospital.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the office."

"Dorothy, I'm in your office."

Dorothy coughed lightly. "Ah, I was just a bit hungry, so I stepped out to grab something to eat. I'll be back soon."

He hung up, seemingly upset.

It made sense.

He must have been worried after seeing her confront Heather in her office. After all, Heather was his true love.
