The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 102

She later decided to drop the issue because she didn’t want to cause her teacher trouble. She was always afraid of causing others trouble. The teachers at school had already taken good care of her, so Dorothy felt she was the least entitled to be picky.

"Did that include you?"

Kevin asked this question while turning his gaze to her face at the same time.

Dorothy shook her head the whole time, "It didn’t. In middle school, besides going to class, I had to work in a B&B in the morning and worked the night shift in an internet cafe after leaving the library. My schedule was even tighter than it is now!"

Thinking about it, this was probably why the homeroom teacher felt it was okay to let her sit next to Everett.

Any other girl would probably be so infatuated that she wouldn't have the heart to study.

"Huh? How old were you in middle school?"

"Still gotta be a breadwinner regardless of my age, right?" Dorothy shrugged. She was just glad she trudged through all the difficulties rather than becoming trapped in the shadows of her childhood.

Things could get worse if she did that. After all, trapping herself in couldn’t bring her the power she needed.

Kevin looked at her. He couldn’t help but admire the girl in front of him.

"Keep at it. You're definitely going to make it in investment banking."

"Yeah!" She thought so too.

...

The plane landed at Lumina Bay Airport. Someone was already there to pick them up and take them directly to the hotel.

Kevin didn't even have time to rest before he started working.

Dorothy put down her luggage. She didn't have any work assignments so she went to the window after tidying up and looked at the scenery below.

It was so beautiful!

The whole place was filled with high-rise buildings that she couldn't afford.

She opened her phone and saw a WhatsApp message from Karen Miller.

[Sweetie, I always feel like something is off about the way you talk about that man. I must remind you again, don't fall for guys like that. You'll be the only one who gets hurt in the end!]

Fall for him?

On the way, Dorothy comforted herself.

Everett probably wouldn't come to Lumina Bay alone.

His assistant always accompanied him on business trips, and there was also Heather Garcia. She had gone to Verdant City with Everett and should be coming back with him!

She would never get the chance to talk to Everett if his true love was also around.

After giving herself a solid pep talk, Dorothy parked the car and walked into the arrival hall.

It was quite easy to spot Everett among the crowd.

As always, he was very conspicuous with his tall figure. His presence was strong just by standing there.

He was wearing a dark suit; his shirt and tie were ironed and tidy. The way he casually rolled up his sleeves exuded a natural sense of nobility and ease.

Dorothy put a hand on her left chest as she watched.

Because her heart just skipped a beat.
