The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1452

Alone.

That was the crux of it all.

Miles wanted a one-on-one chat. About what, exactly?

She wasn’t having any of it.

No way!

“Langston, buddy, I just got off the plane, and I'm feeling kind of under the weather. Can we maybe catch up after I've had some rest?” Felicity, aiming to prove her discomfort, furrowed her brows dramatically and massaged her temples, “I… my head is killing me! Ugh! And I feel nauseous, like I'm gonna hurl!”

Esther, witnessing her state, quickly tugged at Miles’s sleeve, “Felicity really looks unwell, maybe whatever you need to discuss can wait till she’s feeling better?”

Hearing this, Felicity nodded vigorously, “Exactly, Esther’s right!”

Caught up in the moment, she forgot her act of illness and quickly resumed her posture, massaging her forehead.

“…”

Miles, unfazed, simply looked down and firmly told Esther, “It’s nothing major, just a few words. You and Mr. Turner can go inside.”

Esther knew that if Miles was insistent, there had to be a reason.

Hesitating for a moment, she gave a slight nod, “Alright then, you two talk.”

Meanwhile, Jeffrey was still piecing things together, utterly confused, “What does Langston want to talk to you about?”

“I don’t know.” Felicity shook her head like a tambourine, “Dad, I’m not feeling well, I don’t want to chat with him alone, I just want to go inside and sleep!”

She pinned her last hope on her dad.

But Jeffrey, with a profound sense of gravity, gently patted her hand, speaking with a tone of wisdom, “I know you’ve been influenced by their way of life abroad, losing some of that personal touch, but Langston has been with you since you were kids, seen you grow up. I won’t have you adopt their cold demeanor and drift apart from Mr. Lopez and his family!”

“What? How are those even related?”

“Go on, have a chat with your Langston. It’s been years, catch up a bit!”

With that, he cheerfully pushed his daughter towards Miles, “No rush, take your time!”
