The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 502

Everett glanced up, a hint of amusement touching his eyes. "So, that’s why you harassed Karen, huh?"

At that accusation, Jeffrey looked like he was about to explode in protest.

"Whoa, hold up! It was totally her stirring the pot first! I was just... just trying to teach her a lesson, that's all! Her looks, her figure—they're not even my type."

"She's a friend of Dorothy's. You should back off."

Everett knew his friend all too well; this guy was more about lust than love. So he needed to make sure not to let Jeffrey hurt Karen, otherwise it would put Dorothy in an awkward spot.

"Me, make a move on her?" Jeffrey's expression was animated as he heard what Everett said, "Come on, man! When have I ever hung out with a girl who wasn't miles hotter than her?"

"I don't care about the others."

"I'd go out with any of them than messing with Karen, man!"

Everett usually had no interest in Jeffrey's dating life. But today, despite Jeffrey's apparent disdain for Karen, he couldn't help noticing that she was all Jeffrey talked about.

"Got a thing for her?"

Everett and Jeffrey were the kind of friends who cut straight to the chase.

"No way! Absolutely not!"

"Then keep your distance. Find another hotel. I'll have someone sort it out for you." Everett paused, then added, "Dorothy mentioned Karen's heading back home soon."

Once she was gone, their paths would likely never cross again.

Karen would continue with her life, and Jeffrey with his wild nights.

"No wonder she suddenly wanted to take in the sights. She's leaving." Jeffrey touched his nose, "Uh, I’m heading back. Need to take care of some business."

"What's the rush?"

"Work stuff, man! I've been out of the game for too long. Got a pile of things to sort out."
