So Karen reckoned, if she got involved with a guy like Jeffrey, his chances of cheating were like 99.9999%. She wasn't full of herself, thinking she could be that one-in-a-million exception.
In the end, it would just be a breakup with wasted time and wasted emotions. What would be such a relationship come for?
For his chiseled body, his handsome face?
Karen scoffed.
Sure, he was easy on the eyes, no denying that. But after that one time he got a scar, it wasn't the same. His physique was fine, but when it came to the physical stuff, they were totally out of sync – it was agony for her!
All things considered, there were no good for them to be together – just forget it.
“If you had already made up your mind not to go for it, why did you tell me you'd think about it?”
“What, and you would have let me go otherwise?” Karen figured Jeffrey wasn't dumb; he should have caught on to her intentions that day.
Him coming to ask about it today was just plain stupid.
“So, what, you're going to keep going on blind dates?” Jeffrey had to keep his cool because of the kids around.
“What's it to you? It's not like I'm your girlfriend! You talk as if I'm sneaking around behind your back.” Karen whipped out her smartphone, pulled up her WhatsApp, and showed it to Jeffrey. “See this guy at the top? My parents introduced us. We've been chatting well, no need for a formal date. We hit it off, so you might as well move on and look for your next conquest.”
Karen believed that for Jeffrey, it was all about the chase – a fixation on what he couldn't have. It was just a relentless desire to win over the unattainable.
She knew his lines worked on plenty of women. With his rugged good looks, chiseled features and that bad-boy charm, he could've easily been a star. She herself had been captivated by that face, curious to see if the rumors about his prowess were true or if it was all just show.
But once you get what you're fixated on, the charm would vanish, right?
As if she could bewitch Jeffrey and have him remain loyally besotted with her forever. Listen to that idea – it's not just ridiculous, it's downright delusional.
And sure enough, what did Jeffrey see from the screen of Karen’s phone? The last message was a sweet “Goodnight, sleep tight!” from the guy.
Their conversation was indeed heating up.
Jeffrey was grinding his teeth hard enough to make a sound.

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...
