The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 788

That was a natural human thing and there was nothing wrong with it.

But...

“I mean, come on, there’s only one Dorothy, and either you or Everett is gonna end up the lonely old cat person. I’m really hoping it’s you, buddy.”

Everett was always flying solo. Now that he was in a relationship and even got two kids of his own. Jeffrey didn’t dare to mess with this because he had no death wish.

…

After leaving the diner, Dorothy declined Kenneth’s offer to give her a lift home.

Night had already fallen, and it just wouldn’t do for them to be seen together, a man and a woman alone. Especially since Dorothy had no idea how many eyes Everett had out there.

“Let’s just drive you home, then! Jeffrey, it's on your way to drop Dorothy off at her apartment, right?” Karen wouldn’t rest easy until her best friend was safe at home, so she shot Jeffrey a meaningful look.

He quickly nodded, “Totally on my way! Absolutely!”

It would always be on his way to drop her off as long as they were in this country’s realm. And if they were abroad, he’d hire a private jet to send her home.

“Alright then, I’ll head off,” Kenneth said with a wave, grabbing his car keys and not insisting further.

After he left, Karen sidled up to Dorothy and whispered, “What’s going on with you and Kenneth?”

“I wish I knew.” Dorothy hadn’t eavesdropped on the men’s conversation and could only sense that something was off with Kenneth when he returned.

Karen then turned her gaze to Jeffrey. “What did you guys talk about?”

“Uh… just, you know, shooting the breeze.” With Dorothy there, Jeffrey wasn’t about to spill the beans.

“What could Kenneth possibly have to chat with you about?” Karen frowned, tugging at his sleeve, “So did he agree to help us out?”

Jeffrey shook his head, “No dice.”

“What’s his condition? Why didn’t you just agree?”
