The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 514

"Sounds good. I was worried that you’d mind."

Everett’s main concern was that Dorothy might think he was playing favorites with his buddies.

But Dorothy knew Karen's temperament. She wasn't one to hold grudges, especially not if the guy in question was easy on the eyes like Jeffrey. Karen's tolerance certainly shot up when it came to handsome men! And if Jeffrey had really done something outrageous, Karen would've stormed the hospital by now instead of sitting quietly.

...

Calling it a hospital was a bit of a stretch; it was more like the Lopez family's own private mansion.

Not only were the medical facilities top-notch, but they had even flown in a chef from back home!

For Karen, it was her first time seeing a hospital spread a feast like this, each dish a delightful assault on the senses. She couldn't help but marvel, "Rich folks live in a different world, huh? Way beyond my simple mind!"

Dorothy chuckled at her friend's awe, "You're drooling all over the table."

Karen squinted her eyes and grinned from ear to ear, "This is quite the eye-opener. Next time if someone calls me plain, I'll tell them I've dined with Mr. Lopez himself!"

"Quit your yapping and eat up," Dorothy said as she pulled out a chair for Karen, just as the last of the dishes were served.

As soon as Karen reached for her cutlery, the door burst open.

They all looked up.

"Everett, you could've invited me, man! Why you didn’t tell me about such a feast?"

Without a second glance at Karen, he plopped down in the chair closest to Everett.

The atmosphere turned a tad awkward.
