The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 57

Back to the Lopez family’s home?

Dorothy's first thought was the message Heather sent to Everett.

"Is it a good idea for me to go with you?"

Her status made it quite awkward.

“There’s nothing wrong with it. You’re just there to accompany me. If you don’t want to get out of the car, you can wait for me.”

Hearing that his intention was really just to “accompany” him and there was no need for her to step in, Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“All right, give me a heads up the day before so I can arrange my work."

Everett nodded, seeing her relax from her high-strung state, he wasn't sure whether bringing her to the Lopez family so hastily was the right thing to do.

He simply wanted his mother to get an impression of Dorothy and then slowly find a way to accept her.

...

In the morning, Kevin efficiently dug up almost everything about the Social Networking Service.

That made Dorothy silently admire that those who worked with Everett were indeed extraordinary.

It was almost noon when she suddenly remembered her appointment with Kenneth.

She sent an emoji, and he responded immediately.

[I was thinking of checking on you but didn't want to disturb you in case you were busy.]

[I'm free now, let's meet up and discuss the project in detail.]

She always spoke in a straightforward and direct manner, not giving the other party any room for imagination.

Soon, Kenneth sent Dorothy an address.

After a few days together, Dorothy felt that she got along well with Kevin, who seemed grumpy but was indeed warm-hearted. Both were focused on work, sharing a common goal.
