The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 732

Jeffrey!

Why on earth was he here?

Without a second thought, Karen grabbed Dorothy by the arm and dragged Dorothy inside.

She didn't want to see Jeffrey, not for any reason, not at all!

But how could Karen outrun Jeffrey, a man towering six-foot-three frame?

Within moments, she felt a firm grip on her wrist from behind.

"Karen, stop running!"

Hearing Jeffrey's voice, Dorothy finally understood why Karen had suddenly bolted.

She had been utterly clueless just seconds ago.

"Let go of me!" Karen snapped, whirling around to shove him away.

Jeffrey quickly released her, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm letting go! Just don't freak out, please!"

In her fury, Karen hardly heard his words, but Dorothy caught on quickly.

"Jeffrey, you shouldn't be here. You two are done," she pointed out, testing the waters.

"I... I was just checking up on her from downstairs. Didn't mean to intrude," Jeffrey stammered, his words faltering.

He had been at his wit's end trying to find Karen and had ultimately sought help from Everett.

But Everett had warned him not to let on about the protection detail he'd arranged for her, especially not to Dorothy.

"You're intruding right now!" Karen glared at him, tugging Dorothy to leave.

For every step they took towards the stairs, Jeffrey followed suit.

Dorothy knew some things had to be settled between the two, and as a third party, no matter how close, she had no say. So, she said frankly, "Karen, I'm going to head back. I think Jeffrey has something he wants to say to you."
