The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 543

"Dorothy, you're the only one for me."

Everett could tell she was thinking of her father again, so his grip on her hand tightened without him realizing it.

Dorothy believed him, she really did. But she didn't want Everett to be set on just her.

...

Jeffrey was completely dumbfounded.

How on earth had he not figured out that the person Karen was chatting with on the phone was Kenneth, her cousin?

Looking back, it made sense. Her laughter, the way she talked about crashing at his place, it all seemed so casual, lacking that coy vibe you get when talking to a boyfriend.

It was all his own doing – acting on impulse without considering other possibilities.

Now the question was, how could he find Karen?

Irritated, Jeffrey kicked the living room couch and grabbed his phone to scroll through his contacts list in a frenzy.

Suddenly, it hit him that Karen had once mentioned working at The Prosperity Consortium! She was there with Dorothy before Everett had pulled some strings to get Dorothy transferred to the headquarters.

Jumping to his feet, Jeffrey started searching for the number of the manager at The Prosperity Consortium's local branch.

The phone was picked up promptly. The voice on the other end sounded deferential.

"Mr. Turner, what can I do for you?"

"Have your HR department check if someone named Karen used to work at The Prosperity Consortium."

"Absolutely, sir! I'll take care of it immediately."

After hanging up, Jeffrey put down his phone, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, and checked his phone again – still no new messages.

Stepping out to the balcony for a quick smoke, he returned to still find no update.

It shouldn't be this hard to find someone!

As Jeffrey was about to reach for his car keys by the entrance, his phone finally buzzed.

He answered it instantly.

"Mr. Turner, there was indeed a lady named Karen on our records. She worked here but resigned years ago."
