The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 576

Jeffrey felt like Karen's words were just a brush-off.

"Answer? How can you give me an answer?"

They didn't even have each other's phone numbers. Was he supposed to just wait around, hoping she'd pop by to give him her decision?

Karen hesitated for a moment, then with a half-smile, she said, "Oh, alright then. Jot down my number, it's 555-867-5309."

After rattling off the digits, she turned to leave.

Jeffrey grabbed her sleeve before she could walk away!

The next second, his phone played a soulless electronic tone—

"The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the number and dial again..."

Karen was taken aback. She didn't expect him to call right then and there!

The situation was awkward to say the least.

Jeffrey just stared at her silently.

Slapping her forehead, Karen said, "I must've mixed up a digit. Try dialing it again!"

She repeated the number, and this time when he called, her phone actually rang.

"There, all set. I should get going now."

Karen glanced at the grip he still had on her.

Jeffrey frowned, slowly letting go, "I'll be waiting for your answer. Don't take too long."

"Okay, okay!"

Karen didn't even bother saying goodbye; she just bolted.

Jeffrey had planned a day to charm her—stroll through the mall, grab some lunch, maybe pick out a little something special for her. But waking up to this was a cold splash of reality.
