The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy immediately denied it. “No way!”

“Did your friend tell you whether this guy is any good in bed or not? If he’s all bark and no bite, forget about it.”

Dorothy instinctively replied, “Not really.”

“Did your friend discuss this with you?” Karen’s eyes widened; she loved these spicy topics. “Who’s the friend? Don’t beat around the bush.”

“Ah…you don’t know her. She’s an old schoolmate of mine.” Dorothy, afraid of letting something slip, quickly changed the topic. “By the way, I’ve arranged a meeting with the person in charge of the SinoSuccess Enterprises project today. Are you free?”

Karen hesitated, looking a bit troubled. “I can’t today. The head office has transferred the supplementary funds for Harmony Ventures. I have to go there.”

“That’s okay. I’ll go alone.”

Dorothy tidied up a bit, printed out the list of third-party companies that Everett had emailed her, compiled them into a folder, and then checked the time before heading out to the arranged meeting place.

The person in charge of SinoSuccess Enterprises was a middle-aged man. Although he was a bit old, he looked well-maintained and dressed stylishly. Plus, he spoke with a bit of an accent.

“We can’t shoulder all the risk for the third-party loans on behalf of the Prosperity Consortium, can we?” His tone was tough from theContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

get-go.

Of course, he was well aware that their group needed this project.

Although the risk was high, the profit return was quite tempting.

“Mr. Robert, reaching the amount stated in your investment guarantee letter is the contractual responsibility of SinoSuccess Enterprises, isn’t it?” Dorothy handed over the photocopy of the guarantee letter with a smile. She carefully chose her words. “We at the Prosperity Consortium have certainly shown the greatest sincerity. We believe that SinoSuccess Enterprises would also want this project to be successful, which is why Mr. Percy has come up with this solution.”

“Hmph.” Mr. Robert didn’t give her any dignity. He looked Dorothy up and down and then said, “Since the final contract hasn’t been signed, you guys at the Prosperity Consortium are making fun of our guarantee amount. Perhaps I should just forget it. The Lopez Corporation is indeed very big, but SinoSuccess Enterprises doesn’t need to climb up this high tree.”

As he said this, he got up to leave.

Dorothy quickly stood up. “Mr. Robert, please wait!

He did stop, but intentionally took a few steps forward, comering Dorothy in the corner of the restaurant booth.

“Hmm? Anything else?”

Dorothy frowned at his proximity; her alarm bells were ringing. She lowered her head and tried to find a gap to dodge him.

But Mr. Robert caught her wrist, his smile turning sleazy. “You told me not to leave, and now you’re avoiding me? What’s the deal?”

“Let go!” She tried to pull away but couldn’t match his strength.

“Still playing innocent? Fine, this place isn’t great for business talks. Let’s go somewhere else.”

As he said this, he tried to forcibly pull her away.

In a panic, Dorothy didn’t think twice and kicked him hard in the groin.

Mr. Robert immediately grimaced in pain and then slapped her hard across the face.

“You bitch! I’ll kill you!”

This slap was full of force. Caught off guard, Dorothy crashed into the wall, her vision starting to blur.

But she knew she wasn’t safe, so she tried to make her way out of the booth based on memory.

Suddenly, she felt strong hands wrapping around her from the front.

Instinctively, Dorothy tried to struggle, until Everett’s cool yet gentle voice came from beside her, like a soothing illusion in the midst of

chaos.

“Don’t be scared; don’t be scared. It’s me; I’m here.”

Dorothy’s stubborn consciousness suddenly collapsed.
