The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 277

Like a statue, Jeffrey stood stock-still. His fingers twitched slightly as he vigorously rubbed his eyes.

Was he seeing things?

She was actually in Everglow City?!

But then again, it all made sense. No wonder Everett had changed his mind about so many things after his brief stay in Everglow City.

"What are you standing around for? Go say hi!" Lane, who hadn't noticed Dorothy, had just gotten out of the car and saw Jeffrey standing there, frozen.

"I ran into someone I know." Jeffrey said, pointing towards Dorothy in the distance.

Following his gaze, Lane broke into a grin. "You know her?"

"Yeah, she's…"

"She's the girl I like."

Jeffery was dumbfounded.

"Pretty, isn't she?" Lane continued, oblivious to the fact that the man beside him was turning to stone. "But it's not just her looks that I appreciate. It's the way she focuses when she works that really gets me. What do you think?"

Jeffrey's mouth twitched, and his voice became strained with tension. "Nothing special."

"Nothing special?!" Lane immediately questioned Jeffery’s eyes. He turned to see his friend's pale and stunned face. "What's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, Jeffrey clutched Lane's arm. "Wait. Did you say she's married?!"

"Yeah!" Lane nodded, surprised by his reaction. "She's been married since she joined the company. Everyone knows. She's never tried to hide it."

"Have you ever met her husband?"

"No." Lane was even more curious than Jeffrey about what kind of man she was married to. "But you can tell they're deeply in love. Their bond is stronger than gold."

Stronger than gold?
