Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Earlier that day, curious to know who was preparing these lovely meals, Scarlett had gone over to the kitchen. To her dismay, the head chef was an elderly lady. She had years of experience, but she wasn’t the young debonair that Scarlett had been hoping for.

“Oh, well, that’s too bad. But then again, you won’t have to worry about Francis getting all possessive and worried that you’re cheating on him. What a paranoid dude. I pity him.” Eve said as she forked a piece of foie gras.

“Wow, it’s so delicious. If I weren’t worried about gaining too much weight, I swear to god I would eat it from morning to night. For every meal.” Scarlett squinted her eyes with enjoyment.

“Well, don’t worry about that! You’re already overweight!” Eve laughed.

“Well, I’m carrying a baby now, so that means it’s the weight of the two of us, okay?” She patted her belly.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, girl,” Eve said, chuckling lightly.

Chuck hadn’t been there for a long time, and he had not even called. As a result, Scarlett was beginning to feel a little bit worried. Eve comforted her that it was not safe outside, and they had to be very careful because of Vivian and her family. Those people were desperate and would try every means available to them to take revenge.

After walking a few rounds, she couldn’t help asking, “Will they be safe?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Who?” Eve asked, who was watching the cartoons on the sofa with her legs crossed. There was no network or signal, so she ended up watching one of the hundreds of cartoons available on cable TV.

“You know who I’m talking about?” She pouted.

“If you are worried, you can give him a call.” Eve raised her head.

“But there is no signal here!” She said

“Oh, my dear, you are so naive!” She said, shaking her head sadly. And then she pointed to the bodyguards outside and continued, “Ask them, and they will be able to get in touch with the person you are looking for! Why don’t you just do that? You’re wasting your time being worried and shit.”

“It’s unnecessary.” Scarlett hesitated a while.

“Well, you can keep being worried… but I suggest you be alone and don’t bother me with I’m watching TV.” She waved her hand to ask Scarlett to get out of her sight.

After struggling a while, Scarlett turned to go upstairs.

Lying on the bed, she turned over again and again. She felt restless. At last, she sat up and made up her mind. She rang the bell for the bodyguards.

As expected, the bodyguards could get in touch with Francis, and when she turned to them, they didn’t refuse her request. Later, one of the bodyguards took her into a small dark room. As the lights came on, she found that it was a room full of flowers. The entire room was lined with exotic flowers from all over the world– from orchids to white lilies.

“Only this room has a signal, so please enjoy your conversation here. If you leave this room, the call will drop.” He said. After that, he just left and closed the door.

But Scarlett didn’t dial the number immediately. Instead, she stared at her phone for a long time. It took her more than twenty minutes to finally dial the number that she was so familiar with.

It took a long time for Francis to answer Scarlett’s phone call. When Scarlett was about to hang up, a cold voice came to her on the other side, saying, “What’s the matter?”

As for Francis thought it was a call from his bodyguard and worried that something bad had happened to Scarlett.

As Scarlett pursed her lips, she remained silent for a long time, but her heart couldn’t help beating very fast.

The long silence on the phone made Francis feel very strange, and he was ready to hang up. But all of a sudden, it occurred to him that it might be the one he had been missing on the other side, so he instantly put the phone back in his ear.

“Scarlett, is that you?” He asked eagerly.

“Yeah, it’s me!” She answered.

When the familiar voice came to his ear, he felt kind of relieved. A huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

“Is everything fine with you?” Scarlett asked in a low voice.

“Yeah, I’m fine. How about you? Are you feeling alright? How’s my baby boy? Have you been eating properly? Are you being taken care of?” He cast a bunch of questions in sequence as a big smile spread across his face.

Scarlett was very touched and warmed by his repeated inquiries, but she also thought she couldn’t forgive him so easily, so she just said, “Well, now I know you are fine, so I’m hanging up.”

“Wait a minute,” Francis stopped her eagerly and said, “Scarlett, could you allow me to come and see you? It’ll be brief if that’s what you want. I want you to be comfortable. Can I see you? Would that be OK with you?”

“No.” After that, Scarlett hung up the phone instantly.

Upon hearing the sound of hanging up on the other side, Francis felt very sad. He wanted to cry. He missed her so much, and it was terribly taking over his sanity.

As for Scarlett, she could finally lay down and go to sleep knowing that Francis was safe.

However, extreme joy often begets sorrow. Something bad happened to her late at night. She was suddenly awakened by the huge pain and was sweating a lot. She thought she must have eaten something bad, so she rushed to the washroom. But it was something else altogether.

That’s when Scarlett realized what had really happened. Her water had broken. Thankfully, there was a bell in the washroom, so she vigorously shook her hand to ring the bell for help. “Help me!” She screamed.

Her screaming woke everyone up, including Eve, who got up in a daze. When she saw Scarlett, she jolted into action.

“Call the ambulance and take her to the hospital immediately,” Eve said as she took Scarlett’s hand.

However, Ella Crowley, the housekeeper, stopped her and said calmly, “Take her to the backyard.”
