The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 51

She suddenly stopped talking, and that's when Everett met her gaze.

"What? Doubting your own skills?"

There was a brief pause before she replied, "Thanks for the trust, Mr. Lopez. I'll do my best."

Dorothy decided to stop overthinking. She chose not to look too closely even if things were unclear to her. An opportunity was right in front of her. No matter what his motives were, it was a good thing for her.

If that project went smoothly, not to mention paying back Everett within a year, her mother's medical expenses wouldn't have been a problem in the future.

"Stop at Tranquil Crossroads." Everett suddenly spoke.

The driver quickly nodded and found a place to stop.

Only then did Dorothy realize they were near her alma mater.

"Would like to take a walk?" Everett asked, raising an eyebrow.

She nodded and said, "Sure."

Dorothy didn't have many memories of her junior high days, but Everett was definitely a vivid one.

Walking down the school road again, she nostalgically took out her phone, took a photo, and carefully stored it in her cloud album.

"Do you still play basketball?" Seeing the newly built sports field, she remembered Everett from back then.

Other boys came back from basketball all sweaty, but only he didn't. Even if it meant being late for class, he would run to the dormitory's public bathroom for a shower.

She was still young back then and hadn’t realized that he was a clean freak. She had even accidentally dirtied his uniform a few times.

"I play occasionally." Everett walked her outside, his tall figure blocking some of the moonlight, casting a shadow on her.
