The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1308

She couldn't handle another favor from Kenneth. It was just too much.

"I should tell Jeffrey first, at least he could come up with some advice for us!"

"Let's not do that. If you tell Jeffrey, then Everett will find out," Dorothy didn't want Everett to worry.

Besides, the situation at hand wasn't something that could be easily resolved by simply sharing it with others.

Dorothy gently patted Karen on the shoulder to comfort her, then stepped aside to call Lane on her cell phone.

After a few rings, he picked up.

"Miss me already, huh?" Lane's voice carried that familiar, rakishly charming tone, even in moments like these.

"..."

"Come on, you call and then stay silent? What's up?"

Dorothy frowned slightly, her mind racing on how to subtly bring up the topic of Kenneth.

"Are you back at your hideout?"

"Yeah," Lane replied seriously for once, "Too many cops around to be wandering about."

"That's actually why I called. Just wanted to make sure you were okay."

Lane chuckled, his deep voice soothing yet gritty, "So, without Everett around, you actually care about me a bit! Should've gotten rid of Everett sooner!"

"..."

"Don't worry, the cops won't catch me. I've planned our future too well to just end up in jail. What would you do without me?"
