The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy shot Everett a playful glare, "Well, for all my being a director, it pales in comparison to your big shot CEO title, huh? Just a letter's difference, but worlds apart." "What do we do then? Should I step down and let you take the reins as CEO?"

"Don't! I was just kidding."

Despite his words, Everett didn't stop the task he was engaged in.

"I heard from Kevin that you're really serious about starting your own business."

Dorothy had mentioned it before, but Everett had his reservations. He secretly wished Dorothy would stay with Lopez Enterprises, so he could always have her close.

If she ran her own company and got swamped with projects, she'd hardly have time to come home.

Too few projects, though, might dent her confidence.

"Yes! That's what I want."

Everett's fingers paused for a moment before he softly replied, "Okay, then. I'll keep an eye out for a good location for your company."

"No need! I want to do this on my own, without distracting you from your work."

"You're starting a business but won't let me help in the slightest. Who do you want help from then?"
