The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 30

Dorothy propped herself up, asking, "I'm moving in here?"

"Got a problem?"

Hell yeah, she had a problem.

Moving in would mean they were practically living together, right? Then every time she got off work, they'd be in each other's faces.

Facing this moody iceberg all day long would probably take ten years off her life.

And what about his true love? She would find out sooner or later, right?

If they got back together after she had given up her apartment, what was she supposed to do then? Stick around and watch them be all lovey-dovey?

"Mr. Lopez, I think it's better if I don't live here. It's not convenient. Don't worry; during the contract period, I'll be right here any time you need me."

"Dorothy, are you really playing the role of the victim here?" Everett frowned. His tone gave her no room for refusal; his command was succinct and clear. "I said move in."

"Okay, Mr. Lopez."

How spineless was she?

...

After breakfast, Everett left.

Dorothy had no choice but to follow orders and pack up her stuff at the rental. At around lunchtime, Karen called.

"Why aren't you at work today? Mr. Percy said you got permission from the head office. Way to go, Dorothy; it looks like you're moving up in the world. You’re getting transferred to the Lopez Corporation's head office."

"I'm supposed to be doing some training, so I need to prepare in advance."

"You sound so listless, like you spent the night with a man." Karen's accusations were not for the faint-hearted.

Dorothy was taken aback. She couldn’t help but cough as she yelled, "Stop it!"

Karen, on the other end, burst into laughter, but she didn't suspect anything. "By the way, do you remember that woman I told you about? The one Mr. Lopez is smitten with. The chief lawyer, Heather."

"Uh..."
