The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Everett wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. Despite the rollercoaster they'd been on, it was only in these moments, with her in his embrace, that he felt truly fulfilled.

Everyone told Dorothy she was lucky to have a man like Everett love her so deeply.

But Everett always felt he was the lucky one!

To have the girl he'd set his heart on since his youth in his arms, and to share two beautiful children with her, how could he not feel like the luckiest man alive?

"Come on, the guests are waiting for us. We can't just stand here hugging all day," Dorothy said, her cheeks flushing a hint of pink. Despite their relationship being no secret, the stares from the crowd still made her uneasy. "We'll continue this at home tonight."

Dorothy wasn't blushing this time; instead, she suddenly remembered the new gadget Karen had given her.

She decided to trust Karen one more time!

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for Trust-E, thanks to Everett's participation, attracted the crème de la crème of Eldorria City's business world, and even some national tycoons made an appearance.

The event was so grand it could have been mistaken for a celebration of a Fortune 500 company, not the opening of a small business.

Dorothy spent the day shaking hands and smiling until her face felt stiff, regretting that she couldn't personally attend to every guest. But thankfully, with Everett and Jeffrey by her side, handling drinks and pleasantries, there was nothing to fault. As dusk approached, Dorothy finally got a chance to catch her breath.

Everett handed her a glass of warm water, "Tomorrow, your two project teams are going to be swamped."

Mentioning this, Dorothy couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at him.

"My little company was doing just fine with two project teams! Now, they're going to be busier than ever!" "Not every project is for you. Just pick the best."

Dorothy took the glass, pouting slightly, "To a giant like the Lopez Corporation, many projects might seem trivial. But for a small company like mine, getting three to five projects a year is already a big deal! It's like pies falling from the sky, and I don't want to miss any of them."

Everett's lips curved into a smile.

He adored this side of Dorothy, her eyes sparkling with ambition.

Whenever she talked about her work, she was vibrant, dedicated, and eager to learn.

Everyone thought Dorothy, being married to Everett, wouldn't need to work a day in her life and still have

more money than she couldve

spend.

But she didn't see it that way.

Even as a married couple, it was important for each to have their own career and social circles.

"You don't have to miss out, but-"

"But I need to take care of myself, know," "Dorothy finished his

sentence, "You remind me

I've memorized it by now" et

"If you overwork, I'll have to force you to stop."

Everett said it with a smile, but Dorothy knew he meant it.

She reached out, wrapping her arms around his waist, "Got it!"

He lifted her in his arms, heading towards the bathroom.

"I've drawn a bath for you. Let's get you to bed early tonight."

Dorothy smiled, her eyes twinkling mischievously, "Mr. Lopez, are you saying you won't be... proving your love tonight?"

Everett was exasperated but amused, giving her bottom a playful smack, "I'm worried you might not handle it."

"Who says I can't?" She teased, pressing closer to him, her flirtation undeniable, "Everett, I want you."
