The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Seeing Kenneth, Dorothy jogged over.

"You didn't have to come pick me up, you know. Just drop me a pin next time. I can find my way with GPS, no matter how tricky the route.” "Oh, alright, next time I'll just send you the location," replied Kenneth, a hint of a smile on his lips as he opened the passenger door for her. Once she was settled in, he circled to the driver's seat and started the engine.

The car hummed to life, and Dorothy spoke with gentle concern, "Kenneth, could you... maybe go easy on Karen and Jeffrey today? Karen's been so scared of you these past few days, hiding out and not even daring to get in touch with her family. I don't think that's what you want, is it?" Kenneth's hands rested on the steering wheel, his gaze deepening. "Dorothy, you know better than anyone what kind of man Jeffrey is." "I do, but people deserve a chance to turn over a new leaf, right? He hasn't done anything that bad, has he?" "Why did Karen break up with him in the first place then?" Dorothy hesitated, pursing her lips. "Just a little misunderstanding between lovers. Karen told me all about it. They cleared it up and got back together." "Karen is my cousin. I see her as my sister, and I know her well. She wouldn't say "break up' over nothing serious. She gave Jeffrey her heart, I know that, but a split-up is never that simple.” Dorothy didn’t know how to respond to that.

"Is there something you're holding back, Dorothy? You might as well tell me now so I'm prepared.” Taking advantage of a red light, Kenneth turned to look at Dorothy.

"I think it's best if Karen tells you herself." The news of the pregnancy wasn't hers to share.

Getting too involved in their affairs wasn't right. If Karen needed her, she would speak up. For now, Karen hadn't told Kenneth, and Dorothy didn't want to mess things up.
