Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

When Scarlett got in the car, she held the grumpy baby and said helplessly, “How dare you to be so grumpy at such a young age?”

“Mrs. Sandler, would you like me to drive you home now?” The driver asked.

“Let’s go to the office and ask his father to coax him!” She said as she pinched the chubby face of the baby.

As the baby was nine months old now, Scarlett’s hands had been sore from holding him, so she wanted to rest him on her thighs, but he refused and struggled to stand up on her knees.

“Stop it!” She warned him seriously.

The baby glanced at her and began to jump up and down on her thighs. When they arrived at the office, Scarlett was told that Francis was in a meeting.

“Scarlett!” Someone shouted out.

“Leah!” Scarlett exclaimed when she saw that it was Leah. She gave the baby to Grace and excitedly walked over to hug Leah.

“What brings you here?” Leah asked.

“Well, I came here for someone!” She scratched her hair and explained after some hesitation.

“Who are you looking for?” She came closer to her and added, “You’re acting kinda weird… tell me, are you waiting for your boyfriend?”

“Well, that’s…” Scarlett smiled and became kind of nervous, staring at those secretaries waiting to hear some office gossip. They were like vultures.

The elevator opened, and three men in suits came out; the one standing in the front had a serious look and gave orders to his secretary.

The funny thing was that the baby recognized him and waved at him excitedly to ask for a hug.

When Francis saw them there, he was very surprised and instantly walked up and asked, “What happened? Why did you come here?”

Leah was shocked. Scarlett rubbed her arms and said, “Well, after the vaccine, he kept crying, and I couldn’t stop him, so I brought him here to see you.”

Francis saw the baby keep waving excitedly at him behind her and then reached out his hands to take him.

“Well, are you being naughty today?” Francis smiled, giving him a gentle touch on his nose.

The baby started laughing loudly. The whole quiet corridor now echoed with his boisterous laughter.

“Let’s get in the office.” Francis barked.

“You go in first. I’ve got a lot to talk about with Leah.” She waved at him and then took Leah to the other end of the corridor.

After they got away from the others, Scarlett began to explain embarrassingly, “Well… I’m with Francis now! But I can swear to you that it’s not because of his money. And he’s not forcing me to be with him either….”

“I knew it! You must know each other for a while, too, am I right?” She winked.

“Don’t tease me! I had never thought that this day would come!” Scarlett said

“Now you have a baby, so did you get married?”

“Yeah, a few days ago.” She nodded.

“But I can tell from your look that you are upset about it. Don’t be silly, okay? Do you know how many women want him?” Leah said.

“Is there someone going after him?”

“Oh, now you are jealous?” Leah laughed.

“Cut the crap and just tell me!” Scarlett pouted.

“A few days ago, Francis attended a commercial party, and someone confessed her love to him in public… Did you even know that?”

“Who was it? Was she pretty?” Scarlett asked nervously.

“One of Francis’s partners, the boss of Stone Company, Ivy Stone.”

“What is she like?”

“Well, she and her brother founded the company. So what do you think about her?” Leah frowned. “You’d better watch out! People don’t know that Francis is married, so your relationship is not as strong as you think!”

“But I don’t want him to announce our relationship to the whole damn world. I don’t want my life to be exposed to the public.” Scarlett said.

“Wow, you put a lot of faith in him.” Leah smiled.

“Well, that’s a long story.” She said.

Leah took a look at the watch and said, “Oh, my gosh, I have something to do, so I’ll catch up with you later, see you!”

Leah hurried off and left Scarlett standing there alone.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

She headed back to Francis’s office. As she walked in, she saw Francis and the baby having fun together.

“Are you busy now? How about you let me take him back home now?”

Francis put his arms around her shoulder and looked at her, “You seem unhappy. Everything okay, Mrs. Sandler?”

“Well, everyone is busy building a career and reaching their goals… and I am a stay-at-home mother; my life is so boring.”

“When did I ask you to be a stay-at-home mother?” Francis smiled.

“Francis, I heard that some pretty woman is going after you, is that true?”

“Well, aren’t you going after me all the time?”

Scarlett got laughed at and looked up into his eyes, “Wow, I’m a pretty woman to you!”

“You are my wife.” He smiled and kissed the tip of his nose.

When they started kissing, a fat little hand suddenly came between them, and an angry face appeared.

Francis stopped kissing her and felt kind of interrupted, so he just gave a gentle flick on the baby’s forehead as a punishment. Scarlett laughed loudly and gave Carlos a big kiss on his forehead. She was laughing so loudly that she fell off the sofa. Meanwhile, Carlos had managed to turn himself around and plant a big wet kiss on Francis’s lips. If only Francis had known that one of the most memorable kisses of his life would have come from a man. All he could do was stare at Scarlett and Carlos helplessly– he didn’t know he was capable of such deep affection.

***

Last night, Scarlett stayed up very late translating literature for class. In the morning, she overheard, while still half-asleep, that Francis was on the phone. She pulled up the quilt over her head and tried to muffle the sound of his voice.

However, a while later, she felt a hand resting on her nose, which made her lose her breath.
