The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

The fourth project team's office suddenly came alive as heads swiveled towards the commotion, the mix of men and women all craning their necks to get a better view.
Even Austin, who rarely left the sanctuary of his private corner office, felt the disturbance and emerged with a look of concern.
Stepping out, he witnessed Dorothy yanking Ophelia's arm, his brow furrowing in alarm at the scene. Without missing a beat, he commanded, "Ophelia, my office. Now." Ophelia, her pride wounded, shrugged off Dorothy's grip and stormed off to Austin's office.
Dorothy, not one to make a mountain out of a molehill, simply returned to her desk. With years of experience in the corporate jungle, she had climbed the ranks from an assistant to a director at East Star Enterprises, navigating a labyrinth of obstacles.
She wasn't about to be rattled by the likes of Ophelia.
As lunchtime approached, Dorothy finalized the day's schedule and distributed the printouts. She was about to head to the employee cafeteria for a bite to eat when Austin appeared at her door, a smile playing on his lips.
"Ms. Sanchez, how about I treat you to lunch?" he offered.
"For what?" Dorothy was always wary of unexpected invitations, especially considering her and Austin's casual acquaintance. It wasn't like them to share a meal on her first day at work.
Austin chuckled awkwardly. "Consider it an apology on behalf of Ophelia. She's a bit reckless and young, you know how it is.
Don't take it to heart, please." Dorothy waved him off. "Really, it's fine. I'm not upset with her." She had too many other things going on in her life to be upset over such a trivial matter.
Austin continued, "She's new to the team, and erm... a relative of mine." Even he was embarrassed by his own words. He was aware that Ophelia had been rather disrespectful and bloated because she was his relative, and he never bothered to knock her down a peg. To think she had the audacity to offend the boss' lady was unimaginable! "It's really fine," Dorothy smiled and said, "I better head to the cafeteria now. This afternoon, I'll need a few sharp individuals for the due diligence team. I'm still new to the fourth project team, so I'm relying on you to choose wisely." Austin breathed a sigh of relief, having feared Dorothy might insist on firing Ophelia. After all, he had no authority to protest. "Of course, of course!" "Oh, and one more thing," Dorothy added, "I have to swing by West Legal Services after work, so I won't be able to stay late.
Email me the documents, and I'll get to them after my meeting. I'll make sure there are no delays." She had always taken her work seriously.
With a nod from Austin, Dorothy locked up her office and headed towards the bustling cafeteria of the Lopez Corporation.
Truth be told, the culinary spread at the Lopez Corporation's cafeteria was something to behold, a rarity even in the entire nation, let alone Eldorria City. Everett insisted that well-fed employees could perform their best work.
Having skipped breakfast, Dorothy was now feeling the pangs of hunger and forced herself to eat despite her lack of appetite.
After all, there was still a full afternoon of work ahead.
