The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"...So, why are you even going back?"

"Just to soak in some local vibes," Calvin said, noticing Felicity's brewing storm. He quickly added, "And to stock up on five bottles of hot sauce."

That did it. She was speechless.

But that was Calvin for you - always a plan up his sleeve, and nothing he did ever really came as a surprise.

Driving into the city, Felicity was at a loss for where to take him for a meal.

It had been years since she was back. How could she possibly know which places were still good?novelbin

Wanting Calvin to have a great impression of Eldorria City, Felicity made a quick call to her friend Aurora, who was off traveling. "Hey Abigail, can you recommend some must-try places in Eldorria City?" "Sure, I'll send you a list on WhatsApp."

"Thanks a ton, Abigail!"

After hanging up, Felicity found Calvin staring at her.

"What's up?"

"You look thinner."

"Jet lag, probably. Messes with you, doesn't it?" She was scrolling through her phone for Aurora's list of restaurants.

Suddenly, Calvin's tone shifted from his usual jest to something more serious. "Did you... see him?"

"...Him?"

"The reason you've been dodging love all these years."

Felicity paused, then realized he meant Miles. She forced a smile. "Of course, I saw him. His mom and mine are like sisters! Right off the plane, my dad drove me to their place." "And...?"

"Talk about timing, he was introducing his girlfriend to his parents that day!" Felicity chuckled, "Awkward doesn't even begin to cover it." Normally, Calvin would laugh along with her, but this time there was a tinge of pity in his eyes.

It was clear to him whether her happiness was genuine or just a facade.

He patted her head gently, sighing, "Quit laughing, it looks terrible on you."

"Is it that bad?"

"Absolutely dreadful!"

Felicity's smile faded. With Calvin, she didn't have to pretend so much. "Calvin, he ended up with his high school sweetheart." "Ah." He wasn't really interested.

"So, once I'm back in Anglonia, I guess it's time I look for a real charmer myself!" She half-smiled, "Can't stay single forever." At that, Calvin raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Do I get first dibs?"

Felicity rolled her eyes, "I'd become a nun before dating you! My mom says never to trust a player!"

"I'm not a player!"

"Just last month, some blonde bombshell named Candy was at your door looking for you. And you're not a player?"

"I swear, she was the one chasing

me! I never reciprocated. And I broke up with my last girlfriend six months ago! Calvin raised his hand as if taking an oath.

Felicity scoffed, "Save it, I don't buy it."

"I don't care how long you've been single! My dream guy has thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, preferably with blue eyes. I love that!"

Calvin grimaced, "You're into foreigners now?"

"Well, isn't it said that foreigners are... more impressive in certain areas?"

"..." He was visibly annoyed, "For your information, I measure up just fine!"
