"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.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
