The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 531

Karen glanced around the first-class cabin, relieved that no one else seemed to be paying attention to their spat.

“Can you let go already? Why would I run? I haven’t done anything wrong!”

“Haven’t you?” Jeffrey’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Matching his gaze with her own defiant stare, Karen shot back, “What have I done wrong, huh? Tell me!”

“You…” Jeffrey choked on his words, unable to voice his true grievance in such a public setting. But then a thought struck him, and he blurted out, “You took my hoodie, didn’t you? You never gave it back to me. That hoodie cost me a pretty penny, 950 bucks.”

Karen was stunned into silence. Did he really buy a first-class ticket just to chase after a hoodie? Was there some special significance to that piece of clothing?

“Now, give me back my hoodie!”

“It’s not with me. I left it at the hotel front desk when I checked out,” Karen frowned, puzzled. “Didn’t they tell you when you checked out?”

Jeffrey was taken aback.

Of course, they didn’t! Because he hadn’t checked out. He had no plans to return home today!

The only reason he was on this flight was that he’d pulled some strings and paid through the nose to catch this woman!

“Why are you just standing there? Go back to the hotel and get your hoodie before the plane takes off!” Karen urged him, almost as frantic as if the hoodie were hers.

Jeffrey felt a momentary illusion that he was indeed just there for the hoodie, spurred by her urgency.

“I’ve already bought my ticket. You can reimburse me for that.”

“Come on, Mr. Turner, are you really short on cash?”

“I am! You insisted on taking my hoodie, so you’re responsible.” Jeffrey clung to his excuse, not about to let it go.

Karen rolled her eyes, silently cursing him for being so petty. She wanted to give him a piece of her mind but figured it wasn’t worth it—they wouldn’t be crossing paths again anyway.

“Why not?” Jeffrey couldn’t grasp this one simple fact. “I haven’t done anything to you. You were the one who came onto me yesterday!”

Karen didn’t want to hear it.

“But wasn’t it a mutual thing yesterday?”

“Yes!”

“So, after it’s done, we go our separate ways. Isn’t that an unspoken rule we both know?”

Jeffrey narrowed his eyes, taking a deep breath. “So, you treated me like a high-class fling, huh?”

Karen nodded without hesitation, “Exactly.”

“You’re so wrong!” Jeffrey’s voice rose. “So, you booked yourself a first-class seat on the return flight to scout for your next high-class fling, is that it?!”
