The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 99

"How the hell did you get this?!"

From behind, sharp-eyed Karen almost popped her eyeballs out when she saw that.

In her eyes, her best friend was someone who had never even dated. So where would have she gotten a guy from? In her wildest dreams, she never thought she would have seen that thing from her.

Dorothy was also embarrassed. She didn't intend to play the innocent, but she thought the thing was quite private, and felt awkward when someone saw it.

"Just... leftovers."

Karen blinked, and used a lot of effort to digest that sentence.

"You don't have a boyfriend. Who did you use it with?"

"Just a guy who fulfilled a need."

Knowing that Karen was not easy to fool, Dorothy could only dodge the main issue.

And to describe Everett like that, it should have been quite accurate, right?

Wasn’t their relationship just like that?

Upon hearing that, Karen playfully slapped her shoulder. Her gossip spirit ignited, "You naughty girl! You went all the way without telling me! Come on, what's this guy like? Is he in good shape?"

Dorothy felt her face burning and hurriedly stuffed the 'culprit' back into her bag, "Let's not talk about this."

"What are you afraid of? You're not a newbie anymore, right?" Karen raised her brows and chuckled, "To capture your frozen heart, this guy must be pretty handsome! Have you got any pictures? Is he from our company? Have I met him?"

He was very handsome.

There were pictures.

He was sort of from the company.

She had indeed met him.

As she spoke, Karen even grabbed the condom from Dorothy's bag and threw it away as if it was the guy himself.

Dorothy raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Why? Aren't playboys more annoying?"

"Playboys will have a day when they've had enough and settled down. And maybe they become more passionate and devoted because they've seen it all! But a man who has someone else in his heart will never give you his whole heart! No matter how outstanding you are, how much you love him, none of it can compete with his pining."

"Oh."

"You don't want to be someone else's replacement, do you?" Karen asked directly.

Dorothy shook her head, "No, I don't."

"That's right! Let me tell you, love is quite a delicate thing. The more you care about someone, the less they care about you. Since you two are using each other, and it seems like you're quite satisfied with him in that aspect, that's enough! Just consider it a freebie."

Dorothy silently listened to her words.

Ironically, the whole reason why she dared to sleep with Everett that night was because she was brainwashed by Karen.
