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!

Wasn’t the whole point of bringing her here to meet Langston to test her? Yet, he didn’t seem to do anything suspicious. In fact, he went straight to the kitchen to cook as soon as they got home!

What hidden trap had she failed to detect?

With a heart full of unease, Dorothy waited in the car for a while until she saw Everett come out from the house with a paper bag in hand.

Once in the car, he handed the bag to her.

“Got you some takeout.”

“It’s okay I can skip a meal. I’ll eat after work!”

Everett glanced at her, his lips barely moving. “You need to work overtime tonight. Triple pay.”
