The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 188

To the outside world, it was all envy. They thought Dorothy had hit the jackpot, snagging Everett's favor.

But in her heart, it weighed like a ton of bricks.

What could she possibly give back to Everett?

Dorothy believed that for a relationship to last, there should at least be some balance! It was near impossible to balance their statuses, but at least their efforts could have been equal.

After a full day of work, she received a message from Everett asking her to wait for him after his meeting so they could go home together.

With the spare time, Dorothy tidied up her desk.

She had been too busy to sort out her documents. As long as she knew where they were, it was enough.

After tidying up, she checked her phone but there was no message from Everett.

His meeting must have been a tough nut to crack.

Stretching her back, Dorothy decided to take a stroll. But as soon as she stepped out of her office, she ran into the last person she wanted to see.

It was Heather.

Clearly, Heather hadn't expected to run into her either.

She was taken aback, "What are you doing here?"

"I work for the Lopez Corporation. Isn't it normal for me to be here?" Dorothy's following sentence implied, “You've already quit. You showing up at the Lopez Corporation is what's not normal!”

But of course, she didn’t say any of that.

Heather frowned, "Don't think you've won! You'll never pass the hurdle of Everett's parents!"
