The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy knew she should remind Everett that Bay Residence was his own home, and her coming along didn’t mean she was moving in.

But when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.

Just once, she wanted to indulge herself and savor a moment of tenderness that belonged to another woman..

“Okay, let’s go home.”

Perhaps because he was so tired the day before, for once, Everett didn’t wake up at six.

When Dorothy opened her eyes, the man beside her was still asleep.

His hand was lightly draped over her waist, and his body was slightly tilted.

The occasional movement of the curtain allowed sunlight to spill onto his deep-set features, a sight so beautiful that she couldn’t take her eyes off.

If only she was the one he cared about….

That would be wonderful.

This thought suddenly sprouted out of nowhere. It startled Dorothy, so she quickly got out of bed.

She didn’t know how she could have such thoughts.

Indeed, once people tasted sweetness, they would become greedy.

After washing her face with cold water, Dorothy discarded these thoughts and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Everett.

In both emotion and reason, she should thank him.

Just as the porridge started to boil, Everett woke up.

Still in his black silk robe, his messy hair made him less intimidating and more approachable.

She relaxed a bit and smiled at him. “Breakfast will be ready soon. How would you like your eggs?”

“Medium.” Everett didn’t sit down like a boss. Instead, he helped her bring the toast out of the toaster.

When a sudden burst of steam scalded Dorothy, she let out a hiss and quickly held it back.

She didn’t want to give Everett the impression that she couldn’t do even a small thing like this right.

When the porridge was ready, Dorothy brought out two bowls, only to find that Everett was gone.

“Mr. Lopez?”

“Don’t you think that’s too formal for home?” Everett appeared from somewhere, with a first-aid box in his hand.

Dorothy was taken aback, and then she smiled. “It’s fine.”

In truth, she didn’t know what else to call him besides Mr. Lopez.

“You can call me Everett at home.” He strode over to Dorothy. “Show me your hand.”

After he examined her hand, Dorothy realized that the spot she scalded earlier had already blistered.

“It might sting a little when I apply the ointment. Bear with it.”

Dorothy quickly shook her head, trying to pull her hand back. “It’s okay! It’s just a minor burn.”

Back when she was working at a barbecue restaurant, she got burns like this all the time. She never cared, even when they were worse.

“Dorothy, can you behave?”

After saying this, he began treating her wound.

But Dorothy seemed to hear a hint of indulgence and helplessness in his voice.

No, no! She must have heard it wrong! Or maybe Everett was treating her as a substitute again. This gentleness didn’t belong to her.

This was the first time they had breakfast together.

Dorothy seemed a bit absent-minded because her mind was filled with thoughts on how to handle the SinoSuccess Enterprises project NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Although the person in charge had been taken to the police station, and she was the victim, this also made the cooperation between the two companies more difficult. SinoSuccess Enterprises would certainly give her a hard time in the future.

After finishing his meal, Everett wiped his lips elegantly while she was still frowning over the matter. There was more than half of the porridge left in her bowl.

“So, you really want to take on the SinoSuccess Enterprises project?”
