The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 424

Dorothy couldn’t lag behind when she saw Langston muster up his confidence like that, so she quickly said, “Mr. Lopez, I just wait outside for you, then! We wouldn’t want to disappoint the little guy.”

She had expected Everett to show some sort of reaction, but he simply nodded. “Sure.”

Dorothy stepped out of the Bay Residence, her mind racing with doubts about Everett’s strange demeanor, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was off!
