Jeffrey clutched a pack of cigarettes in his hand, but hadn't lit a single one. He just fiddled with his lighter, occasionally flicking it on, watching the flame spark to life before snapping it shut, all while keeping his eyes on her.
No next move, no words spoken.
Karen hadn't expected him to actually show up in front of her parents, so she was really pissed.
The last thing she wanted was for her folks to catch wind of her reckless escapades! How could she possibly explain to them that their darling daughter had been living it up and even boldly hitting on a guy, asking him outright if he was up for a one-night stand?
Click.
The lighter sparked again, the flame appearing and then being extinguished.
Jeffrey gritted his teeth, trying to rein in his temper before finally speaking up, "Your dad mentioned you're going on a blind date. Is that true?"
"It's true," Karen responded without little intention of concealment.
There was no need to hide anything from Jeffrey.
"And what about me?" Jeffrey lowered his gaze as he reached for a cigarette, and Karen couldn't help but notice his defined hands seemed to tremble ever so slightly.
"What are you talking about?"
"You admitted to my mom that you're my girlfriend, and now you're off to meet another guy."
Jeffrey was struggling to keep his cool, not wanting to start a row with Karen the moment he arrived.
The truth was, he hadn't rested much over the past few days and was running on fumes.
"That was you talking! With the way things were going, how could I not play along?" Karen kept her distance. Her voice was barely above a whisper, wary of her parents overhearing from upstairs, "Did you drive here?"
"Yeah."
"Let's talk in your car." Karen glanced at the clock; she had a few hours before the dinner party and needed to sort out this mess quickly.

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...
