The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 858

Had it not been for Karen's worrying, Dorothy might have outright refused the ride in Jeffrey's car.

It wasn't personal—she just felt awkward alone with any man who wasn't Everett. There was something about it that made her skin crawl, a discomfort she couldn't quite shake off.
