The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1362

Everett had reached his limit with promises she failed to keep.

"From now on, when you have lunch, send me a photo."

"..."

"I'll be there by 1 PM at the latest. If I haven't received your picture by then, I'm coming over to take you out for lunch myself."

What kind of woman trying to conceive could afford to skip meals like she did, especially when she was as thin as she was?

Everett was already worried she wasn't physically ready for another pregnancy, and here she was, lying to him about something as basic as eating lunch.

Dorothy frowned slightly, "Isn't that a bit much?"

"It's necessary."

"..."

Everett grabbed her hand, ready to lead her outside.

"Hold on," Dorothy protested, "I'm really close to finishing this proposal! Just give me ten more minutes!"

He was about to object when Dorothy put her hands together, pleading.

Everett couldn't help but laugh at her gesture.

"Ten minutes. Not a second more."

"Deal!"

Dorothy hurried back to her desk to continue working, while Everett started to close the office door, only to run into Perdita, who had just returned from lunch and was bringing Dorothy some documents.

Everett barely spared her a glance before turning back and settling himself on the sofa.

Perdita hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise by returning early. She almost glued her eyes to Everett.

Noticing her interest, Everett remained indifferent, making no effort to engage.

"Ms. Sanchez, this is the due diligence summary from the project team."

"Just leave it there."
