The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 499

She tried to act as if the awkward encounter with Jeffrey hadn't just happened.

But Jeffrey's mood soured. "Seriously, I need to drive you back? I'm out here on the prowl, not to play your personal chauffeur!"

"But didn't you just..."

"God dammit, I'm totally deflated now. I did what?"

Karen swallowed hard, clearing her throat lightly. "Alright then, I won't keep you. Go find some girl to cure your impotence."

Jeffrey felt like he could be driven to his grave by this woman's nerve.

"Okay, you're throwing these accusations at me. I can’t argue anymore. Guess I have no choice but to prove you wrong with actions!"

With a strong push, he swung the door wide open and strode in.

Karen stumbled backward and realized it was too late to shut the door.

"What are you doing?! Let me remind you, this is illegal!"

"Don't play coy. You think I haven't noticed you drooling over me?" He cornered her, leaving her no escape. "Who couldn't take her eyes off me when on the plane?"

His face, magnified and all too close, nearly made Karen feel like the air she needed was being sucked away.

But that didn't soften her resolve.

"I did not!"

"Heh." Jeffrey sneered, casually grabbing her butt. "You might not have the curves of a pin-up, but I guess you'll do."

"Bah! Get off me!" Karen tried to wriggle free, but his strength was overwhelming.

It was then that she realized the man in front of her was indeed very much a man.

Continually mocking and infuriating him was likely to provoke a reaction she couldn't counter.

"You got it!"

The door closed, and Karen, sobbing, reached for her phone to call Dorothy.

Someone picked up after a few rings,. Before they could speak, Karen poured out her woes.

"Dorothy! Jeffrey, he... he forced me to wank for him… And then he harassed me! How can someone be so vile!"

There was a stunned silence on the other end, followed by a low voice. "This is Everett. Dorothy's exhausted; she's asleep. You said Jeffrey harassed you?"

Karen went blank, her first instinct was to hang up the phone.

Damn!

What in the world had she just told Everett?
