The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 643

"He's probably... gone incognito or something, right?"

After all, Everett's system access was way more advanced than that of the other employees. A little invisibility trick was definitely within his capabilities.

"I checked, he's not incognito, just not here."

"Maybe he's in a meeting that doesn't require system access."

These kinds of meetings surely existed, like listening to subordinates’ reports, quarterly reviews, or handling project receptions, legal department contract liaisons, and so on.

But, typically, Kevin could handle such tasks; it was unusual for Everett to handle them personally.

Especially when he hadn’t even returned a single call, just for those tasks?

"Why not give him another call! I have this sneaky suspicion Dad might be having an affair."

Dorothy sighed, giving her son's head a gentle pat. "Don't talk nonsense! Your father would never do such a thing. Where on earth are you picking up such words? Don’t use them again, okay?"

Langston stuck out his tongue and then bounded upstairs with Abigail.

They continued to play, carefree as ever, leaving Dorothy with a nagging sense of uncertainty.

Everett was acting out of character.

After a few minutes of internal debate, Dorothy finally picked up her phone.

She wasn't worried about infidelity; she was worried something had happened to him, and he was keeping it from her!

This time, the phone rang and rang with no answer.

Dorothy's anxiety spiked; she tried again, still no answer.

She decided to call Kevin's mobile number directly, and after a few tones, Kevin picked up.

"Ms. Sanchez."

"Kevin, are you at the office?"

"Uh, yes, I am. What's up?"

"I've been trying to call Everett, and he's not answering. Is he still tied up?" Dorothy stood up from the couch, ready to grab her car keys and head to the office to see for herself.
