The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 796

"Yeah, right!"

Jeffrey hadn't even realized what was going on before he blurted out an answer.

Everett paused for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "When's Kenneth getting here?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Didn't Kenneth ask you to set up a meal with Dorothy?"

Jeffrey suddenly understood, paused for a few seconds, and then began to laugh so hard he had to clutch his belly. He felt like he could roll on the floor laughing!

"I was just pulling your leg! You took that seriously? Everett, for all your smarts, you sure had a blonde moment! Couldn't you tell from my tone?"

"Get lost."

Everett was about to hang up when Jeffrey told him to stay, "Hey! Don't be so quick to get mad, man! I'm just looking out for you. Look, Karen and I are expecting and we've tied the knot. And you're still flying solo, buddy. I'm just concerned about you!"

"Concerned about me?"

"Yeah! Don't you get a little envious seeing Karen and me so in tune?"

Everett let out a snort, "Envious, huh? So envious that you're coming to Liberty City tomorrow. Got a job for you to take over, lasting a year."

"What?!" Jeffrey's eyes bulged as he shouted, "No way, man! I don't want to leave Eldorria City! Karen's still pregnant. That's just cruel, dude!"

"Hmm, I guess I'm just too envious of your harmonious duo."

There was only silence on the other end.

"Still want to say something like ‘in tune’?"

Jeffrey quickly let out an appeasing laugh, "Nope, nope, we actually fight all the time! Man, looking after a pregnant lady is tough work. I think being single like you is the life! I envy you!"

"Cut the crap. Don't send me any more goofy messages."

"Heh, you got it, Mr. Lopez!"
