The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1085

Karen always played by one rule: never let herself be shortchanged!

After all, if her best friend was involved, Karen automatically assumed she was in the right.

“Karen, love isn't something you can tally up like a grocery bill,” Dorothy said, wiping away a tear and forcing a smile. “And I don't want to.”

It was over. That was that.

If Quincy hadn't shown up in Everett's life, Dorothy would have held on a bit longer, even against his cold indifference. But now, there was someone else.

Everything had changed.

“Everett is breaking up with you just because of his mom? I swear, Quincy's got to be part of the reason.”

Karen couldn't believe that the love Everett had shown Dorothy could be overshadowed by his mom's passing. It either meant his past affection was a facade, or there was more to the story.

Dorothy didn't respond, neither confirming nor denying. Everett had never admitted to anything with Quincy, but all signs pointed that way.

“No, I've got to confront Jeffrey about this. If he can't give me a straight answer, I'm going straight to Everett.”

Her friend was not going to be the one to lose out.

“Please, don't,” Dorothy begged.

If Karen intervened, it would seem like Dorothy had sanctioned it. They had loved each other once, shared two kids, and were bound to cross paths again. Dorothy didn't want to seem desperate.
