The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 599

She remembered suddenly when Levi had mentioned that this steakhouse was a hit among the affluent in Eldorria City.

Go figure she'd run into Jeffrey of all people!

Before Levi returned, she'd already gathered her things and slipped away from their table.

She figured she'd wait for Levi at the front door, out of Jeffrey's line of sight.

After settling the bill and actually washing his hands, Levi returned to an empty seat.

He scanned the room and saw no signs of Karen. Panic set in.

Did she leave because he took too long paying? Was she angry?

He whipped out his phone and dialed her number.

She picked up quickly.

"Karen, where are you?"

"I'm at the front, just needed some fresh air. Come find me."

"Okay."

Levi found it odd that she wanted to leave before finishing their meal, but didn't dwell on it. He ended the call, grabbed his coat, and followed suit.

Unbeknownst to him, the very mention of "Karen" had pricked Jeffrey's ears!

"There." Karen waved at Levi as she saw him approach.

He jingled his car key and walked over, "Not feeling well? Should we see a doctor?"

"It's not that dramatic. Just felt a bit stuffy in there, probably because of the poor ventilation." Karen chuckled as she tugged at the sleeve of Levi's jacket, "Let's just go."

"Sure!"

As Karen's intimate gesture made Levi blush, they headed for the car.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Karen glanced at the front of the steakhouse gate. And she saw Jeffrey stand right there.
