"Seriously, how can you say it's trash if you haven't even given it a chance?"
After a refreshing shower, Jeffrey felt a little revitalized. Shuffling in his slippers to the stereo, he decided to play a classic rock ballad to set the mood to dry his hair.
Karen stood there and watched his every move, feeling they were less like a one-night stand and more like an old married couple.
"What's with the dallying?" She thought, amused by his need to primp.
"Are you in a rush?" Jeffrey caught her gaze in the mirror with a teasing smile on his face.
Karen pursed her lips, choosing silence over a witty retort.
Just then, her phone started buzzing inside her purse.
She glanced at the caller ID: Kenneth.
Slipping out of the bedroom and into the living room for privacy, she answered, "Hey!"
"Your mom and dad called me, worried 'cause you haven't shown up at home. Didn't I drop you at your doorstep? Didn't you go inside?"
"Um, well, I ran into a former classmate and we got to talking. I’ve decided to grab dinner with the classmate. I'm staying with Dad and Mom for a few days anyway, so there’s no need to rush. I'll head back later."
"Alright, just give your mom a ring, so she won’t be worried."
"Will do!"
After hanging up, Karen was about to call her mother. But she hesitated, worried that Jeffrey might make a noise and give her away. Opting for a text message seemed safer.
Her message sent, and she made her way back to Jeffrey's bedroom.
Suddenly, the sound of the front door unlocking echoed through the house.
In the next instant, Jeffrey's parents appeared in the foyer, locking eyes with Karen.

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...
