The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 964

"Huh? What's so strange about it?"

Dorothy pondered for a moment. Describing her feelings was quite a challenge.

After all, he had addressed all her concerns, and he didn't seem secretive when taking Quincy's calls.

"Gut feeling," Dorothy replied.

Karen chuckled, "Dorothy, it's not that Everett is acting strange. Once you've fallen for him and given yourself to him completely, you start to worry about losing him."

Dorothy paused, "Do other women feel this way too?"

"Most do! Plus, you've always been a bit of an overthinker."

Dorothy nodded, somewhat agreeing with Karen's perspective.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking things." She said.

No sooner had she finished her sentence than her phone rang.

Speak of the devil. It was Quincy calling.

Noticing Felicity was asleep, Dorothy gestured to Karen, showing her the phone before stepping out of the room to answer.

"Dr. Quincy." Dorothy answered the phone.

"Sorry, Ms. Sanchez. I just saw your WhatsApp message! I've been a bit under the weather recently and haven't been checking my phone much," Quincy's voice was as gentle as ever.

There was also no hint of evasion or guilt in his tone when talking to Dorothy.

This actually eased Dorothy's mind somewhat. Otherwise, she would keep wondering why Quincy hadn't replied to her WhatsApp messages. After all, she deserved at least a polite response.

Dorothy thought for a moment and sent Everett a WhatsApp message: [Dr. Quincy called me, said she couldn't reach you. She wants to talk about her father's company's investment.]

Not knowing the specifics or how’s the company’s investment going, Dorothy relayed Quincy's message verbatim. Whether Everett chose to call her back was up to him.

Perhaps... Everett wasn't interested in the investment and was just avoiding Quincy.

Within seconds of sending the WhatsApp message, Everett called.

"Quincy contacted you?" he asked.

"Yeah."

Everett's tone sharpened, "Didn't I tell you not to talk to her?"

Dorothy was taken aback by his rebuke, "I... I'm sorry, I just saw she called, and considering we still need Dr. Quincy for my treatment, I answered."
