The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Jeffrey grimaced, nodding reluctantly, "Sounds about right."

"Everett, he's a real magnet for trouble!" Karen exclaimed, then shot Jeffrey a glare, "Just like you!"

"1

"

He felt unjustly accused.

But with his history of romantic entanglements flashing before his eyes, Jeffrey found himself at a loss for words.

Karen sighed, her gaze softening as she looked at Jeffrey, "Are we just going to stand by and do nothing? Can't we help somehow?"

"What do you suggest?"

He wanted to help, didn't he?

Karen clapped her hands together, suddenly smiling with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

"I actually have an idea."

"Let's hear it."

"Why don't you go and seduce Quincy? Make her fall for you, and then she'll leave Dorothy and Everett alone."

At that moment, Jeffrey realized he was speechless in his native tongue.

"You're really selfless, pushing your own husband into the fray!"

"If it works, you'd be doing a good deed! Although, I doubt Quincy would even give you a second glance." Karen shrugged, "After all, you've had your fair share of women in the past, not to mention your crush on Heather. Quincy won't be any different!"

That hit a nerve.

It took Jeffrey a while to gather his thoughts.

"Karen, can we not bring up the past?" His heart sank at the mention.

"Just saying, it's not like you're losing a limb!"

"Do you really not care if I sleep around? Do you even love me?"

He couldn't help but notice the lack of emotion when Karen spoke those words. It was as if he wasn't her

d but just some rat

random Joe.

Karen furrowed her brows, "We're supposed to be talking about Everett's situation! Why are you bringing this up now? And Jeffrey remember, who you sleep with or who you're with isn't something I can control. If you're set on cheating, nobody can stop you."

Karen had thought this through, especially marrying someone like Jeffrey.

If he could restrain himself out of love, they could make it work, and she'd be committed to moving forward.

But if Jeffrey ever reverted to his old ways, Karen wouldn't turn a blind eye. Divorce would be inevitable.

"I never thought about cheating! The thing with Heather, I—"

"Alright, alright, my bad. I shouldn't have said that. Happy now?" Karen was clearly irritated, waving he hands dismissively, not wanting to hear any more.

It was just a joke, after all. She hadn't expected Jeffrey to take it to heart.

"You!"

"I've already admitted I was wrong. What more do you want?"

With just one look from Karen, Jeffrey knew he had to swallow his pride.

In her presence, his rights were non-existent.

Everett was intentionally keeping Quincy on a string.

He couldn't let her think that having leverage meant she could control him completely.

Once he felt Quincy's patience wearing thin, Everett finally had Kevin bring her to his office.

"What do you want now?"

His tone was laced with impatience, perfectly aligning with Kevin's earlier comments about his bad mood.

Quincy tried to sound helpful, "I gave Ms. Sanchez the antidote."

Everett looked up slightly, "And?"

"She should be fine now! If you don't believe me, you can have her checked out."Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
