The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 504

"Hey! What's the deal, lady? I'm already compromising!"

Did he really have to kneel or something?

"Who the hell am I to you? No need for the sweet talk." Karen just wanted to keep her distance from Jeffrey before she left Swevia Country for good.

She had her rant and almost broke his hand - the revenge was done!

She never thought she'd have anything to do with Jeffrey, a spoiled rich kid. Once she was back home, they were as different as night and day.

But to Jeffrey, her words rang differently. He knew this game all too well!

Many women had tried the same tactic when they wanted more from him, saying things like, "What am I to you, that you should care?" or "On what grounds do you get to tell me what to do?"

So Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, instantly catching on to her so-called 'hint'.

"If you want to be my girlfriend or something, just say it straight. No need to beat around the bush."

"I think your head's screwed on wrong!" Karen's face cracked, and her eyes rolled as she sized up Jeffrey with a mix of disdain and pity, "Me, your girlfriend? Take a good, hard look in the mirror—no, even if you're easy on the eyes, I wouldn't settle for what Heather has abandoned!"

Heather's leftovers?

Disgusting. No, thank you.

Jeffrey was getting frustrated too, "Can we please stop talking about Heather?"

Karen shrugged, "It's the truth, isn't it? Didn't you go after her?"

The fact that he had liked Heather made him completely nasty in Karen's book.

Jeffrey stood there and stunned by her tirade. His mouth was agape but completely at a loss for words.

"Is there anything else?" Karen felt she had said her piece, and it was time for this guy to leave.

But he was still there, leaning on the door frame. The imprint from the slam was still visible on his hand. He showed no sign of leaving.

"You— I—" Jeffrey stammered, finally squeezing out, "I never go for prostitutes!"

"Oh, good to know." Karen shrugged, "And then?"

"I came here to ask you out for a walk, that's all! What's with all this mess? Karen, be sane, will you? At least I have taken you out for food when you were hungry here. I’ve done all you've asked of me these past days. Do you really have to be this harsh on me?"
