The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 111

Before Dorothy could reply, Karen shot off a second message.

[You're acting so weird! Dorothy, am I your bestie or not?]

[Of course.]

[Then spill the beans! Who is this boy you're all twisted up about? Don't deny it. From the looks of it, you're clearly smitten with someone.]

Smitten with someone…

Did she mean Everett?

But Dorothy's first thought was she didn’t dare. Everett was a deity to a votary like her. How could she dare to have personal feelings towards a deity?

[I'm just curious about guys in relationships so don't get all touchy.]

Karen wasn't having it.

[I knew you wouldn't admit it. But let me warn you, it's all fun and games until you lose yourself over some guy's sweetness. You think he's nice to you but maybe he's even nicer to others! If guys are overly nice to you right off the bat, they usually have ulterior motives. It won't last.]

Dorothy really wanted to tell Karen her situation with Everett and have her analyze it.

But after reading her message, she didn't feel the need anymore.

Because Karen had pretty much answered all of her burning questions! What's left to ask?

It seemed that rich guys were all playing the same game, or maybe all guys were.

That's why Karen could guess so accurately about why she was so conflicted. She felt that way just because Everett was too gentle and too considerate.

Dorothy thought she better brace herself. Or she would caught off guard if Everett suddenly took back all his niceness.

After leaving Dorothy's place, Everett went straight back to his room.

"Amanda, I'll keep you company! Tell Everett not to worry; my work won't be affected."

Amanda was always satisfied with Heather. She nodded and praised, "You're so thoughtful! Thank God you're here, otherwise, I would be all alone coming back home. What's the point of having a son then? You two better have a bunch of granddaughters in the future. I don't want any grandsons!"

Listening to their conversation, Everett felt a headache coming on.

"Mom, Ms. Heather and I..."

"I get it! You're prioritizing work, right? I didn't say anything." Amanda chuckled, "Alright, go do your work! We'll talk when you're back from your trip."

She hung up without even giving Everett a chance to explain.

A few seconds later, Heather's text came in.

[Don't worry, Everett. I've got Amanda covered. Just focus on your trip.]
