The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 318

Gabriel finally broke his stern facade. He downed his glass of whiskey before turning to Emmett and saying, "Don't worry, both of you are here, right? If Ms. Sanchez has a bit too much to drink, you can escort her home."

Having been in the corporate world for many years, Gabriel knew what these two were worried about.

Yes, he found Dorothy enchanting. She was undeniably attractive, but the company's collaborations were of the utmost importance. There was no way he would risk tarnishing the company's reputation, or his own career, by doing anything untoward.

Still, being doubted was always uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, Gabriel." Emmett immediately apologized, showing his ability to be humble when necessary.

Dorothy was not lying about her low alcohol tolerance. Despite her years in the corporate world, she had not developed the ability to drink without getting drunk.

She had hoped to endure for a while before leaving, but then the head of Verity Holdings Limited arrived.

The moment she saw his beer belly, Dorothy knew she was doomed to get drunk.

Taking advantage of her still somewhat sober state, she excused herself to the restroom and called the driver from Everglow City.

Soon, the driver picked up.

"Did you find your way?" Dorothy washed her face with cold water, hoping to sober up a bit more.

She thought she sounded normal, but was immediately called out.

"You've been drinking."

"Yeah, I've had a bit. I'm still clear-headed, though, so tell me where you are. I'll guide you."

She was determined to see this good deed through.

"You're a young woman. You shouldn't be out drinking with men."

Dorothy chuckled. "Thanks for the concern, but I'll be fine. My coworker is with me, and he'll see me home."

Male coworker?

That was Emmett, right?
