The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Everett had my life in his hands, and I wasn't scared of anything anymore.

But just when you'd expect a tender moment, I noticed a hint of hesitation on Everett's handsome face. It was like he had something on his mind but couldn't find the words.

I beat him to the punch, "What do you want me to promise? Out with it."

"...No more late nights, okay? Work just a few hours a day, and when I say rest, you rest."

I laughed, "I knew it was going to be that."

What else could Everett possibly want me to promise?
