The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 4

The PR job in an investment banking company sounded good, but everyone knew it was just schmoozing and booze.

Everett’s words burned Dorothy’s cheeks, but she had to swallow her pride for the time being because others were present. She couldn’t leave just yet.

I just thought since you and Dorothy are both from Havenbrook, you might have something in common. That’s why I asked her here. If you’re unhappy, I can tell her to leave.”

With that, he shot Dorothy a look.
