The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1307

He was out of options, so he let Dorothy take a stab at acting.

But in the plan, Everett had no intention of letting Dorothy actually meet Lane!

That guy was pretty much off his rocker these days, capable of anything really.

If he decided to harm Dorothy, well, nothing was off the table.

"I... he didn't do anything to me..." Dorothy, knowing she was in the wrong, lowered her voice.

"What about Kevin? You need to get in a cab and head back to Bay Residence now."

"Oh, Kevin? He's around, but he has no clue what I was up to!" Dorothy quickly took Kevin out of the equation, "I can't head back to Bay Residence just yet, I got a bit of a situation with Karen. I’ll swing by her place and then I’ll head back, okay?"

Everett paused for a few seconds, "Karen needs you for something?"

"Yeah! Girl stuff, nothing to do with Lane. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jeffrey. I’m almost at his place!" Dorothy hurriedly added a laugh, slightly coquettish, "I’ve already met with Lane, so scolding me now won’t change anything. Don’t get mad at yourself! I’ll explain everything once I get back!"

"..."

"I’m almost there, gotta go."

Dorothy wanted to cut the call before Everett could prod further, so she quickly ended the conversation.

Luckily, Kevin soon pulled up in front of Jeffrey’s mansion.

Just as Dorothy got out of the car, her phone rang.

It was Karen calling.
