The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1158

"Come on, you reach out to him, and I'm just not in the mood."

"...I just wanted him to check on Karen, that's all!"

Everett pursed his lips, holding the steering wheel with one hand, then handed over his phone, "Type in the number, I'll call."

Dorothy couldn't help but find the situation both helpless and amusing.

"Alright."

She knew deep down what really bothered Everett was Kenneth. If doing this would keep the green-eyed monster at bay, then so be it.

The call went through, and Kenneth picked up on the other side.

"Hello?"

"Karen and Jeffrey had a fight, can't get a hold of her, could you check on her?"

Kenneth paused for a few seconds before responding, "Everett?"

"Find her."

"..."

After his terse command, he hung up.

Dorothy couldn't help but comment, "Wasn't that a bit harsh on Kenneth? He might not have even gotten what you meant."

"I don't have time to chit-chat with him." Everett turned to look at her, "Why, you wanted to chat more?"

She quickly shook her head, "No, as long as you're happy."

What else could Dorothy say at this point, under Everett's strict house rules?

"Kenneth is different from the other guys, he's waited for you for years."

That was exactly what Everett dreaded the most.

Those other guys, he never even considered them a threat! But Kenneth was different.

He had spent over a decade catching up to Dorothy, winning her over. And look at Kenneth, willing to wait for Dorothy for more than a decade! How could Everett not see him as a thorn in his side?!

What man wouldn't be bothered by such a rival?

"...I really only see him as a friend."

Dorothy had nearly turned this phrase into a mantra!
