The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 411

It was an ironclad excuse that sealed everyone's lips in an instant.

When the CEO handpicks an assistant, who dares to utter a word?

After the meeting, Everett stood up to leave, with Kevin trailing just behind him as they entered the CEO's private elevator.

Once the doors slid shut, Kevin finally broke the silence. "Human Resources has notified Ms. Sanchez about the position."

"Right," Everett responded, his face the picture of serenity. "She'll probably ask to resign."

He had Dorothy figured out long ago.

"Indeed, but she's got a contract. Ms. Sanchez won't resign so easily."

The elevator dinged, and the doors opened.

Everett strode out, then paused and glanced back at Kevin. "Tell me, do you think what I'm doing is a bit underhanded?"

Despite the years at the helm, Everett had never abused his power or coerced anyone. Even when he wanted Dorothy to join the Lopez Corporation's headquarters, he had Kevin mentor her rather than parachuting her into the position.

This was, perhaps, the first time Everett had been so oblivious to someone else's wishes.

Kevin didn't see the issue. He chuckled, "Mr. Lopez, why do you think we earn this money and hold this power?"

Everett raised an eyebrow, prompting him to go on.

"Isn't it so we can do what we want and keep who we want?"

"Makes sense when you put it like that."
