The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 18

That night, Dorothy slept for just three hours.

When she woke up the next day, Everett was already gone.

On the dining table, he had left her breakfast. It was still hot, and there was a note next to it.

“Gone on a business trip. I’ll be back next week.” It was signed with a single word: Everett.

Dorothy looked at the note and then at the breakfast on the table. She really couldn’t connect the Everett she knew in private with the cold, iceberg-like man in the office.

At home, he could be considered gentle. Even when he demanded sex last night, he was gentle, as if he were afraid to hurt her.

If it weren’t for the tattoo, she would almost feel like Everett was interested in her.

Suddenly, Dorothy felt that the woman he had cherished in his heart for many years was really enviable.

...

When she got to the office, Dorothy started writing a loan application after the morning meeting.

Around noon, Mr. Percy suddenly barged into her office, looking unhappy. “You’re planning to apply for a loan from the head office? Our team just made a major mistake; you think they’ll approve?”

“They’ll approve.” Dorothy was sure. “Don’t worry.”

This idea was inspired by Everett, and, after their intimate time last night, he should give her this favor, right?

Everett clearly understood how important this project was to her.

“I can see you’ve improved, but getting this far is not easy. This does not seem very feasible. The SinoSuccess Enterprises project itself is risky.” Mr. Percy frowned. “Think of something else.”

“But this is the fastest way to start the SinoSuccess Enterprises project. Mr. Percy, just trust me this once.”

She was more anxious than Mr. Percy.

If the SinoSuccess Enterprises project succeeded, she could pay back Everett's money this year.

Mr. Percy pondered for a moment. Although he didn’t know what exactly had happened, he, an old fox, still sensed something unusual.
