The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 870

Dorothy dreamed Amanda taunted her with that typical snooty tone of hers, "See, even if I killed your mom, you couldn't do a thing about it!"

Every time, that nightmare jolted her awake, leaving her staring at the ceiling until dawn's early light.

"I really thought you two were inseparable," Karen confessed after seeing the Bay Residence listing marked as 'sold'. That was when she began to believe their story was coming to an end.

Dorothy pondered for a moment, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Truth be told, right from the start, I felt we were never meant to be."

Such a vast chasm between them, so many hurdles; how could it last with only Everett hacking through the brambles alone?

"Let's drop the gloom and doom! From now on, I won't even mention that name around you. Besties forever, right? So, let's put this behind us. Are you dropping by after work?"

"Not today, got plans."

The last thing Dorothy wanted was another uncomfortable run-in with Jeffrey after their last bitter encounter.

"Alright then, you're busy; I won't keep you."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Dorothy noticed several WhatsApp messages from Stephen.

Stephen: [Ms. Sanchez, I came across a few points in the due diligence files that I'm unclear about. Would you be able to clarify?]

Dorothy frowned slightly but replied: [Send them over.]

Stephen: [It's a bit complicated. I think it might be easier to discuss in person. Can I swing by your office?]

Her office? Dorothy definitely wouldn't agree to that.

[Wait for me at Austin's office, I'll come to you.]
