The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 533

"Why are you so against swapping digits with me?"

Jeffrey had noticed it alright. Karen wasn't entirely unyielding, but whenever it came to sharing her WhatsApp or phone number, she'd turn as rigid as a board!

"You want the truth?" Karen raised an eyebrow.

"Hit me."

"I just don't want to be in touch with you, period. I'm scared of you contacting me. Ideally, we'd never see each other again. And if by some cruel twist of fate, we do bump into each other, let's just pretend we're strangers, okay?"

Karen's honesty was brutal, but it was exactly what was on her mind!

From the very start, she hadn't entertained a single thought of having any sort of future with Jeffrey.

It wasn't just because he was a notorious playboy. It was mostly because he had a thing with Heather!

That woman was vile, and the fact that he could be into her was an instant turn-off for Karen.

As for last night, she truly approached it with the mindset of sampling some exotic ‘fruit’, no deceit intended. But who would've thought that exotic ‘fruit’ would come chasing after her!

"Karen, be honest. Didn't I look out for you in Swevia Country?"

"You did."

"Didn't I agree to all your requests in the end?"

"Yes, you did."

"And I even took you out for dinner on the first day. You would've starved otherwise!"

"You're not wrong there!" Karen nodded without reservation.

Seeing her react this way only puzzled Jeffrey more. "Then why the hell are you so keen on setting boundaries with me? Can't we just be friends?"

He wasn't even pressing for some kind of romantic relationship, was he?

"Nope." Karen was as succinct as ever.

Jeffrey was left speechless.
