"What? Say that again!"
Jeffrey's voice boomed through the room, startling the manager to the point where he nearly thought his eardrums would burst.
"He... he just told me that."
The manager was on the verge of tears. It wasn't his choice to set up this blind date!
Jeffrey clenched his fists, storming toward Karen's parents' apartment door.
He hammered on the door, and there was Karen's dad again.
Seeing another unfamiliar face on his doorstep, her dad looked cautious; he was sizing up the tall young man before him.
"Can I help you?"
"Karen's going on a blind date?" Jeffrey had lost all sense of rationale, not caring about the harshness of his tone.
Derek scrutinized him for a few seconds and looked defensive, "What's it to you?"
"Give me her cell number."
"Son, if don't even have Karen's number, that must mean she doesn't want to give it to you. I don't know what you are to her, but my daughter isn't home. If you have business, wait for her to come back."
Jeffrey tried to speak again, but Derek had already shut the door.
He considered knocking again but knew it was pointless. Besides, Karen wasn't there.
Jeffrey descended the steps, finding the manager still trembling in anticipation.
"Mr. Turner..."
"Just go, it's none of your business anymore."
Frustrated, Jeffrey slumped into his car, yanking a cigarette from the pack to light
up.
"Nice move, Karen! Really smooth!"
She actually went on a blind date!
She actually went on a damn blind date!
Jeffrey punched the steering wheel, his teeth grinding audibly.
But that wasn't the point. She was out there meeting other guys, and he was stuck waiting outside her parents' place with no other way to reach her!
How could he not be livid?
As he finished his cigarette, Jeffrey tossed the butt out the window, revving up the engine to leave.
He got the message loud and clear-Karen never intended anything serious with him and never felt a hint of affection. He was just shamelessly clinging on.
He would be a fool if he couldn't see that.
Jeffrey was someone with a reputation in Eldorria City, and here he was, letting someone trample on his pride. The thought itself was laughable.
He floored the accelerator, and the car shot off like an arrow.
At the turn of the complex, he glanced in the rear-view mirror one last time.
That figure was definitely Karen.
She carried two large shopping bags, donned a new outfit, and was laughing joyfully with someone who looked like her mom.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

"Mom, I think this pink dress looks great on me, doesn't it?"
"Gorgeous! My daughter looks beautiful in anything." Karen's mom, Serena, wore an indulgent smile.
How could she not dote on her only daughter, who was always the apple of her eye?
"Alright, I'll wear this tonight!" Karen knew her own strengths; her fair skin made the pink dress even more flattering.
Someone said a fair complexion could tone down many flaws.
Just as Karen was about to head upstairs with her mom, she heard someone call her name
from behind.
Her shoulders tensed.
The last thing she wanted was to turn around.
"Someone seems to be calling you," Serena whispered softly.
"Yeah, Mom, you go ahead. A friend of mine needs a word."
Karen watched her mother take the bags upstairs and disappear before she finally turned
around.
"Jeffrey, what on earth do you want?"
