"Fancy fruit?"
Everett was clueless about what the joke meant.
Jeffrey snorted with derision. "Your wife's bestie had regarded me as a fancy fruit for a fun try! You've been too busy mooning over your wife to care about me!"
Everett was speechless.
...
The news didn't escape Kenneth's radar. They had just arrived the city before sitting down for a meal when Kenneth's call came through.
Instead of confronting Karen directly, he phoned Dorothy.
When she saw the caller ID, she stood up and made a beeline for the exit, cautious not to take the call in front of Everett, just in case it was something serious from Byte 7.
Once outside the restaurant, she answered.
"Kenneth."
"Karen's parents called me earlier, said she's got herself a boyfriend, and they've already had the meet-the-parents dinner. Did you know that?"
That was the news of the day.
"Yeah." And they were in the middle of dinner together.
"What's the guy like? They say he looks like a playboy, not the reliable type. Karen's parents are worried she's being blinded and asked me to get the scoop from you."
Dorothy was at a loss for words on how to accurately describe Jeffrey.
Paint him in too good a light, and what if he ends up hurting Karen? It would be like giving her endorsement for their relationship.
But to speak ill of him when Karen was seeing Jeffrey would be like pushing Kenneth to force Karen to break up.
After a few seconds of thought, she finally said, "He's been good to Karen, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to date him."

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...
