The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Karen was starting to wonder if Jeffrey had bugged her own home! Because the next second, she heard Jeffrey's voice outside, "Karen, I know you're in there. Stop pretending you're not home, will ya?" Dorothy, lost in thought at Jeffrey's voice from outside, couldn't help but reflect on how people differ from one another.

In this situation, he'd probably just wait downstairs. And if she didn't show, he'd just keep waiting.

"Karen, go out and see him, will ya? His knocking is gonna tick off the neighbors sooner or later." "But I don't know what to say to him!" "Say whatever comes to mind, and if you got nothing to say, then don't say a word. He'll get the picture eventually and back off." Karen understood Dorothy's point. She was just being considerate of the little life growing inside her.

Urging her to think twice about it, to avoid any future regrets.

"Dorothy, I used to think I could handle a wayward man. As long as he turned over a new leaf, all would be well. But now, I'm thinking that the whole thing just isn't realistic. He's let too many people down, and who knows when he'll have to pay the piper.

"If you've come to terms with it, then I've got nothing more to say. Let's eat.” "Mhm." Karen
