The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 572

"Where do you think you're going looking like that?"

With a glance, Jeffrey motioned for her to check herself out.

Her lips were swollen, her cheeks flushed, her hair a mess, and her makeup smeared. Drenched in sweat, her clothes were as disheveled as if she'd been in a brawl. That was not a look for her to go home?

Her parents would probably call the cops on seeing this.

"Mind your own business."

"And if not me, who's going to? Who do you want to take care of you?" Jeffrey's tone sank as if coaxing and compromising were his last resort, "Let's head to my place first so you can clean up, shower, and change."

Karen immediately rejected the idea, "I'm not going to your place."

That would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

"My folks definitely won't be there this time; I will message them in advance. You need to pull yourself together at least. You can't go home looking like this even if you ditch the blind date."

Karen had planned to go to Kenneth's place originally, while Jeffrey had a point.

Kenneth would worry and pester her with questions on seeing her in this mess. And she had no idea what to tell him.

"Just come back with me to change, and I'll treat you to some good grub. How about it, Karen?"

"You don't have any clothes for me!"

"We'll shop! It's on me no matter how many you want and how much you will spend." Anything to get her out of that dreadful pink outfit!

It was bad luck just to look at it!

"Fine, let's go." She didn’t have any better options for now.

"To my place?" Jeffrey's handsome face lit up with a smirk.

Karen turned her face away, ignoring him.

Jeffrey squinted his eyes and chuckled, jauntily grabbing the car keys to lead the way.

Her phone pinged several times with WhatsApp notifications.

Karen glanced down to see messages from Dorothy.

[Did you go? How did it go?]
