Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

After that, Scarlett sent Francis a message immediately.

“Technically speaking, our son is still an illegitimate child now. What are you gonna do about that?”

Meanwhile, Francis was in a meeting when he got the message. And he knew it was from Scarlett because no one dared to text him except for her.

Francis took his cellphone out to check his messages, which really surprised everyone else at the meeting. The Director of Sales & Marketing of Sandler Family, William Matthew, suddenly stopped his presentation and asked carefully, “Mr. Sandler, is there something wrong? Is everything all right?”

He was nervous and careful when he asked him because he was terrified of this cold-hearted boss.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Everything is fine. Please go ahead.” He looked up and told William.

William took a sigh of relief and then went on to do his presentation for the others. However, because of that message, the attention had shifted to Francis. Everyone in the room could not help but notice that their young boss was clearly distracted.

Francis responded to Scarlet’s text.

“Isn’t it very late for you to bring this up? Didn’t you realize before what was going on?”

After Scarlett received his message, she was really pissed off. She rushed to sneak out of the classroom from the back door to make a call to Francis.

For the first time, the great boss of this famous company, Francis, broke off the meeting because of a call. He just walked out of the meeting room.

Although William was relieved, the others in the meeting became very curious about their boss’ abnormal behavior. What kind of girl would make the cold-hearted and calm boss become such an irrational person?

As he came to the corridor, he picked up the phone and kept receiving greetings from the passing-by staff.

“Francis, am I a selfish person?” Scarlett asked unhappily.

“Well, it’s still not too late, and I’ll forgive you!” He said.

“Well, you will be good to me forever if I marry you?” She asked uneasily.

“Miss Morris, are you proposing to me now?” He asked.

Scarlett calmed herself down and said, “I don’t want our baby to be an illegitimate child. If I don’t marry you now, what if other women have your baby? And then what am I gonna do with my life and our baby?”

Scarlett didn’t want to get married at such a young age, but she had to consider her baby and his future. She had to take responsibility and act with maturity.

“So you just want to marry me because of him?” He asked unhappily.

Scarlett scratched her head and said, “You are too smart, and I can’t win you over. Now I know the reality, so I think we’d better bury the hatchet as soon as possible and get married.”

“Scarlett, nobody’s forcing you to marry me. If you don’t want to, let’s just end the farce now.”

As Francis was about to speak, he heard a worried Scarlett yell out.

“I really hope the office won’t be crowded on a Monday… I hate waiting in line. I just want to get this over and done with.”

Scarlett had, of course, forgotten about the existence of the VIP channel in the world. Before long, Francis took Scarlett to get registered in the wedding registration office. When they arrived at the office, they received a very nice reception, complete with chocolate and bouquets. They had no need to wait in any line at all! As Scarlett sat at the table filling out the registration form, she couldn’t help but sigh, “This is the game of rich men! Society is rotten.”

Francis stroked her head and said, “You benefit from the rot of society. Don’t you think you should be grateful instead of passing judgments and casting aspersions?”

The staff members laughed quietly at the banter while Scarlett pouted and focused on filling out the forms correctly.

After Scarlett completed the forms, she took a glance at Francis’s handwriting. His handwriting was magnificent: it looked like calligraphy. On the other hand, Scarlett’s handwriting was completely unremarkable– the penmanship of a commoner. There was nothing unique about it, which made Scarlett feel some sense of embarrassment.

Finally, out of embarrassment, Scarlett asked the staff to give her another form and said, “May I have another set of forms?” Francis took a look at her handwriting and said seriously, “No more excuses! Go and get the form done!”

A while later, a female staff member smiled and asked, “Have you finished yet?”

After finishing the forms, the couple went to take a picture of their marriage license. Once the photo session was over, Scarlett rubbed her stiff face and stared at the picture. “Why do I look so bad on camera?” She asked out loud.

“Perhaps you don’t want to marry him…” The photographer said when he passed by her.

Scarlett looked back at Francis and saw him becoming angry. “He is just kidding, Francis. Please don’t take me wrong! I really want to marry you, Francis! Why would I be here if I didn’t? Just think about it before you lose your temper.”

“Do you know that you tend to act very strange when you are lying?” Francis frowned at her.

“Really? I don’t agree with you on that!” Scarlett said, pulling her hands away from his neck.

“Just tell me the truth already, Scarlett. Are you marrying me right now just because we have a child together? Don’t you have any love in your heart for me? Or is the love in your heart only for our son? Did you marry me just because of our baby?” Francis said angrily. As the staff members saw the anger in his face, they rushed to leave the couple alone. It was best to leave them be as they sorted out their own disputes. There had been a few cases of couples getting divorced as soon as their marriage licenses had been drawn up.

To calm Francis down, Scarlett took him by the arm and looked up into his eyes, “Francis, have you ever thought about why I was to have a baby with you? Despite everything? You say that you know me very well, don’t you? I’m a girl who loves to smoke, drink, and have fun, or at least I used to be that girl… But I’m willing to give those things up and risk my life in giving birth to a baby for you. Don’t you wonder why?”
