The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Gideon was by Ophelia's side when he heard her raising her voice, and he hurried over.

"Ophelia, what are you going on about?" "I'm sorry, Ms. Sanchez! She's just a little hot-headed, didn't mean anything by it, don't take it personally!" said Gideon.

Dorothy's gaze swept over the two, piecing together a bit of the puzzle in her mind.

They clearly had something more between them; she figured they were probably an item.

Ophelia was clearly trying to dump the blame on Gideon, cozying up to Dorothy in hopes of smoothing things over.

"What's going on with me and Everett is none of your business, right?" "Since you're reporting it anyway, it's no use for me to try to negotiate with you, is it? I'll say what I want! Mr. Lopez hasn't been here in ages, obviously avoiding you. What are you playing at, acting all boss-like when you're on your way out? Go ahead, report me; I'll face the music if I have to!" "Ophelia!" Gideon wished he could just gag her right then and there.

But Dorothy didn't care about her rants; she just turned her cool gaze to Gideon and spoke calmly.

"Since you're both here, I suggest you come with me and take a tour of the marketplace. That way, if there's an inquiry from upstairs, you can say you discovered the problems during your visit. Otherwise, if I report that I found the issues, it'll look a lot worse for you." "Got it! I understand!" Gideon nodded, nudging Ophelia covertly.
