Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

She still remembered that time. Scarlett had wanted to take a closer look, but Eve had pulled her away before she had even been able to snap a quick photo with her phone.

Francis twirled the car keys around and threw them at Scarlett to catch. Scarlett began walking around the car slowly, admiring various tiny details that only a true expert would notice. It was an unusual hobby for a woman, but Scarlett wasn’t an ordinary girl.

“Let’s hit the road, and I’ll give you a good ride!” Scarlett said happily.

As Scarlett stepped on the gas pedal, the Maserati just rushed out like a rocket, and she whistled excitedly. It was like she was at a racetrack.

“Francis, did you buy this gorgeous car for me?” She looked at Francis and asked curiously.

“Well, you overthink, it’s not for you. I just bought it to show off!” He answered calmly from the passenger seat.

When the car entered the area with high traffic flow, Scarlett just slowed down the car and said, “Well, seeing as I’m such a beauty, you should let me drive the car. Then you can have both beauty and luxury at the same time. Doesn’t that sound great to you?”

Francis laughed, his eyes twinkling brightly as he saw Scarlett’s face light up with joy. “I married you,” she moaned, “Don’t you think I deserve a nice ride?”

“Houses, stocks, and funds, you can take what you want, but the car is out of the question.” He said.

“Can’t I exchange the stocks for a car?” She glared at him and said.

“You can try. I wouldn’t recommend it. Just see what’ll happen.” Francis threatened.

Scarlett swallowed hard. She wouldn’t dare steal something from Francis. At the same time, she couldn’t bear the thought of parting with that stunning vehicle.

All of a sudden, Scarlett remembered something.

“Francis, that time I saw this car… were you trying to find me?”

“If not for you, why would I have been there in the first place? You’re so silly.” Francis said.

Upon hearing those words, Scarlett felt a deep sense of delight in her heart. She parked the car in the garage of the villa and grabbed Francis’s hand. “I’m so glad to hear that you came by just for me.”

“What do you mean?” He asked.

“Nothing, nothing. I just liked hearing that from you. It made me happy.” She smiled. She was like a noble Persian cat, beautiful, cunning, and oh so clever.

Francis held her waist and teased, “I’m so afraid to lose you that I can’t even fall asleep. Is that okay? Does that gratify your vanity?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Nonsense! Please don’t tease me. I’m trying to keep a low profile, okay?” She pouted as she patted Francis’s shoulder and went on, “See, I have married to such a great man like you, but I never want to be in the public eye. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s because you’re afraid of being vulnerable. You’re afraid of getting hurt, and you’re afraid of being judged. Isn’t that true? Look me in the eye and tell me I’m wrong.”

“Fine. You’re right.” Scarlett admitted with a sigh.

She suddenly remembered that she still had to buy sheets and bedding for Skyler. “Hey, Francis, do you think we could stop by Target to grab some bedding? For Skyler? I totally forgot about that while we were at the mall shopping!”

They dashed into Target and bought the best bedding they could find. Scarlett took the time to touch and feel the cloth to make sure that it was soft and pliable.

“Skyler doesn’t like the color black, so let’s buy the blue comforter instead!” She said as she looked up at Francis.

“Sure, whatever you want,” he said.

After she bought two sets of bedding that she thought Skyler would like, they started wandering around to see if there was something else they had forgotten to purchase at the mall.

Because the domestic help would usually do all the shopping, Scarlett and Francis hardly found themselves in the aisle of a major department store. There was never any need for them to venture out to get everyday things.

“Francis, let’s buy this sofa, it’s very cute! Don’t you think?” Scarlett said as she plopped down on the low sofa, which was in the shape of a cactus and seemed to have been designed with little children in mind.

“Sir and madam, please have a look. Please, make yourselves comfortable! This sofa was designed with toddlers in mind.” A sales clerk came over and started talking to them about the furniture.

“Yeah, we have a little boy, actually. He is about a year old!” Scarlett smiled and said.

“About this sofa, we have two designs, there’s Mickey Mouse and Barbie. Please have a look, these are all considerately designed for kids from the sofa to the bed.”

“These are lovely! Don’t you think Carlos would enjoy jumping around on this sofa, Francis?” She said excitedly as she grasped Francis’s sleeve.

Before any more words were exchanged, Francis found himself at the checkout counter paying for the sofa with his credit card.

As they walked out of the store, they saw a luxury boutique on the opposite side.

“Darling, let’s go to the boutique, why don’t we? I want to take a look and maybe buy some new clothes…” She said.

“But you already have plenty of clothes, don’t you?” He frowned at her and said.

“What about handbags? I could really use some new handbags, don’t you think?” Scarlett said, her eyes lighting up.

Francis felt helpless. He had made a promise to Scarlett that he would always keep her happy. He knew he couldn’t refuse her.

Scarlett was a woman who had faced poverty before. She had never expected that she would encounter such luxuries later in life. She couldn’t have imagined that she wouldn’t have to worry about money.

Scarlett had the chance now that she could buy anything she wanted, and Francis paid that for her readily.

“Francis, be honest with me. Do you think I’m becoming too extravagant in my tastes now? I was frugal once… but now I don’t have to worry about the cost of nice things, and I want to lead a life of pleasure. Do you think I’m losing myself slowly?”
