The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy grabbed the phone with a sense of dread. Her mind seemed to freeze over. The number on the screen belonged to no one but Everett.

"What... what did I say?" she stammered.

"You kinda slurred that you'd had one too many, and asked him to pick you up!" the young man reminded her.

Dorothy's fingertips twitched, "And then?" "And then?" he paused, looking puzzled. "That's it. He didn't say anything else, and you just handed the phone back to me." "He... didn't try to contact you again?" He shook his head, "Nope." "Okay." So, he really didn't want anything to do with her anymore.

But suddenly, Dorothy found the whole drunken episode rather comical, yet utterly pathetic. She had insisted on reaching out to Everett; she had to use someone else's phone even when her number was blocked! Nevertheless, he had clearly shown enough signs of wanting to keep his distance!
