It was then that Everett noticed the barrage of missed calls and messages from Jeffrey on his phone.
[Where are you? Pick up your phone, man!]
[Dude, you have a surprise visitor at the office. He claims to be your son!]
[Well, well, well... Look who's been playing hide and seek. You better call me back with an explanation!]
A son?
Everett furrowed his brows in annoyance.
He didn't like Jeffrey's taste for mindless jokes. He had only ever been with Dorothy in his life. There was no chance of him having a child out of wedlock.
Just as he was about to dismiss the messages and check on his work, Jeffrey called again.
Everett pressed the answer button, his tone heavy as he said, "I'm trying to work here, Jeffrey. Cut the crap."
"I'm not kidding!" Jeffrey was almost shouting. "Your son is actually here at the office!"
"I don't have a son."
"That's impossible! This kid is definitely yours, Everett. If you saw his face, you'd never say that."
Jeffrey sounded extremely convinced.
But to Everett, it seemed like Jeffrey was bored and found some random kid who looked like him to ruffle his feathers.
"Jeffrey, did you finish dealing with the office projects? If you're not busy, I can send you abroad."
"Hey! Why won't you believe me?! I am going to send you a picture right now!"
"I'm not interested."
Jeffery was dumbfounded. Why was this guy so difficult?
Everett massaged his temples in frustration. Being in this unfamiliar city, outside his scheduled plans, was already making him irritable.
"I'm serious! I'm not lying! Come back to Eldorria City and see for yourself!"
"Mr. Lopez, you haven't eaten yet. Have some nourishment. I will look at the system's emails in a bit, so you don't need to bother with them. If there's anything important, I'll let you know."
Everett knew how much Kevin had taken on for him over the years. He wasn't a harsh boss too.
"I've got nothing else to do tonight. You should get some rest."
Kevin chuckled. "I'm not tired."
Everett stepped aside to let Kevin in.
He arranged the food on the table and then made to leave.
"Join me." Everett offered.
"No, thanks. I'll grab a bite when I get home."
Kevin knew that Mr. Lopez had a serious case of mysophobia and was extremely particular about his food. Kevin didn't need to indulge in such luxuries.
"I can't finish all of this myself. It's a good opportunity to discuss work."

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
