The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy never expected that someone would actually track her IP address in real-time! Was Byte 7 really that concerned she'd run away from him? Before she could ponder further, another text pinged through: [Who's living it up at Bay Residence, the swanky spot in Eldorria City? The Lopez family, if I'm not mistaken.] Dorothy wasn't too keen on this invasion of privacy, feeling disrespected as if she were under a microscope.

But respect seemed to be a foreign concept to Byte 7.

[It's personal.] She texted back tersely.

[Oh! Your flash drive's got issues. Meet me at the roundabout in front of Bay Residence.] Dorothy blinked in surprise, her gaze involuntarily flicking toward the still-shut bedroom door.

[Now?] [Yes] She wasn't thrilled about the idea of meeting a man in the middle of the night. Despite anything else, Byte 7 was a man who asked her out now, which indicated he had more than a professional interest in her. But he said the flash drive had an issue, and that was something she couldn't just ignore. She was really afraid that to be true.

[Can't it wait until tomorrow? It's late.] [I'm not free then. Either show up or forget it—I'll drop your case.] As soon as he threatened to bail, Dorothy scrambled into her slippers, typing: [I'll be there. Wait for me.] She didn't bother with anything else, just grabbed a light jacket, slipped into her shoes, and dashed out the door.

Thankfully, the outside world was still bathed in a comforting glow. Dorothy jogged towards the roundabout and sure enough, there was a shadowy figure.
