Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Chapter 44: You Wish



Her car never got out of control, even when her temper often ran against her will.

The shoot went smoothly and ended within half a day. Stella invited Scarlett and all the staff to the Intercontinental Hotel for dinner. Everyone was so happy, and the whole team was full of joy.

Stella had always been very generous. Since the Intercontinental Hotel is one of the most high-end hotels in Irving and its buffet is famous and popular among the rich, Scarlett couldn’t wait to enjoy a feast. She had rejected Stella’s money, but she wouldn’t reject this amazing banquet.

Indeed, as expected, when everybody was drinking and playing games, Scarlett was the only one who buried herself in the delicate food. She was unfamiliar with the staff members and had no interest in their office gossip.

“Thank you for your wonderful performance, Scarlett!” Stella came over and sat next to Scarlett with a glass of wine in her hand.

Scarlett immediately put down the fork and held up her wine glass, “Thank you for inviting me! It was great fun!”

Stella looked at her and smiled, and the two clinked their glasses together and drank happily.

“Andrew called me just now, and he said the video turned out terrific! You know, I rarely hear him say that he is actually pleased with a model’s performance!” Stella said excitedly.

“The success is all thanks to you, Stella, because…you have a great eye and chose me for the assignment!”

“Oh, don’t be glib! You did well, young lady.” Stella reached out her hand and pinched Scarlett’s cheek softly, “By the way, Andrew suggested that you come by my office again and be the cover girl for our anniversary special edition. What do you think?”

“The cover? Oh gosh… I don’t know… I don’t want to tank the sales of your magazine!”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Stella frowned slightly and said, “Oh, please. Scarlett, you’re a wonderful model. Don’t sell yourself short.”

Scarlett shook her head and said, “I seriously don’t want to live under the spotlight… But I’ll do the cover. For you. Thanks for believing in me, Stella! I really appreciate it.”

Scarlett and Stella looked at each other and knocked back their glasses of wine.

The air in the private room was so hot that Scarlett’s face was steaming. It was probably because the wine Stella ordered was so good that Scarlett had drunk way too much of it. She ran to the bathroom for a quick break.

As Scarlett walked out of the bathroom, a hand suddenly stretched out from the corner of the corridor beside her and pulled her aside. Scarlett fell into the man’s chest and felt his warm lips land on her cheek. The man’s big hand clasped Scarlett’s waist tightly, and he began to kiss her passionately.

“Ah… you hurt me!” Scarlett swatted his hand away, teasing.

Francis had probably drunk a lot of wine, but he was not drunk or anything like that. He held Scarlett in his arms. After Scarlett complained that she was hurt, he loosened his grip on Scarlett’s waist, but his lips did not stop.

Scarlett felt that it was better to take the initiative than to be kissed forcefully. She could not get away anyway. Moreover, Francis was a skillful kisser and she actually kind of enjoyed it.

So, Scarlett raised her hands and hooked them around Francis’s neck, and the two were intertwined with each other.

The people passing by in the corridor, either by accident or on purpose, stared at the two people who kissed passionately. Francis lifted Scarlett up about three inches from the ground, and he himself turned his back to the people and hid Scarlett in his embrace.

This posture was too uncomfortable for Scarlett. She was pressed on a cold wall, but in front of her was Francis’s hot body. She was in a half-suspended state, and she could only hold Francis more tightly to avoid falling down.

Francis kissed her hungrily. Scarlett’s cheeks were getting redder, and she felt she was out of breath.

“Take a breath, little fool!” Francis stuck closely to her body, and his lips fell on her shoulders. Scarlett’s brain was starved of oxygen, and her eyes were full of stars.

Francis smiled, and his chest vibrates gently. He put Scarlett back to the ground with his arms around her waist.

“So does this mean I’ve paid you back then?” Scarlett thought what happened just now was Francis taking revenge, since the last time they had kissed, it was Scarlett who had taken the initiative to do so.

Francis reached out his hands to touch her red cheek and put his lips again on it.

“You wish,” his baritone voice was deep and sexy. He sounded melodic like a cello. “It’s just monthly interest.”

Scarlett felt her legs go soft, and she almost slipped to the ground.

Francis let go of her. He seemed to be in a good mood and said, “Wait for me in the parking lot after your little dinner!” He then turned around and walked away in big steps and left Scarlett standing there alone, clueless and out of strength.

Scarlett took out a small compact mirror from her handbag and looked at the girl in the mirror. She arranged her messy hair and took it back to the private room.

Everyone in the room enjoyed drinking and playing games. Andrew seemed to have finished his video editing and had joined the party. He was whispering something to Stella.

Good, nobody noticed her and sensed anything unusual. Scarlett quickly slipped into her seat and took a sip of soup to calm herself down.

At about nine o’clock, the party was over. Stella said to Scarlett, “My driver came to pick me up. Are you going back to school? Take my car!”

Scarlett immediately waved her hand and said, “My friend is shopping at the nearby mall. I will wait for her and then go back to school later!”

“Well, take care! See you!” Stella said as she waved goodbye to Scarlett.
