Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

After lunch, Scarlett laid on the sofa, and Francis was about to leave for the company. Suddenly, she received a call from Eve, inviting her for a girl’s date.

“Eve? Eve Crawford? Since when do you know her?” Francis frowned and repeated that name with a displeased tone. Because of Chuck’s engagement with Eve’s sister, Tiffany, he knew a bit of that girl and knew she was notorious for her extravagant and wanton lifestyle.

Scarlett looked at his face and knew exactly what he was thinking about. She rushed to his back and said, “Hey, I can be friends with whoever I want. Don’t interfere in my personal life like that.”

Francis was checking his schedule on the tablet, so he was scared by Scarlett’s sudden appearance behind him.

“I wouldn’t interfere in your life like this if you would make some good and appropriate friends instead. I’m just offering you a kind warning that that girl is very complicated.”

Scarlett walked away and came to stand in front of him, face to face. “What the hell do you even mean by “appropriate”? I know you men like those elegant and well-behaved girls like Tiffany Crawford. But you know what, I don’t. Please don’t make judgments about someone you don’t even fucking know, alright?”

“Scarlett, that’s enough,” Francis said with his face cold and emotionless. Scarlett turned around, changed her shoes, and went out of the door to the garage. Soon after, Francis heard the storm of the engine as a fast car shot out of the courtyard.

“She is still a child, sir, don’t get angry with her.” The housekeeper said quietly.

Francis stood calm at the door for a moment and then took out his cell phone and dialed the phone.

“No speedy driving. Don’t show off your skills, nobody’s watching. Come home before 9 p. m. tonight, or there will be grave consequences.” He hung up without waiting for any response from the other side.

Sitting by the window, Eve leaned back against the sofa. She was in a red coat today with knee-length boots. Her wavy hair draped over her shoulders and looked extremely ravishing. She was happy and sat up straight when she saw Scarlett coming from the door.

“Hello, beauty!” Eve waved to her.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Scarlett was wearing a navy blue overcoat, black leggings, and a pair of short black boots. She hadn’t thought too hard about her outfit for the date because she had left home in a hurry after the quarrel with Francis. But she had not forgotten to grab a black checkered scarf from the hallway wardrobe before she left the house. And fortunately, her hair was also in good shape. So, she still looked cool and beautiful as always.

She pushed open the door, and for a moment, all eyes were on her. She took off her scarf and sat down on the sofa opposite Eve. “Hi, I thought it was a club date!”

Eve laughed, with her blue eyes sparkling. “You bet, after this!”

“Really? Oh god, I need to breathe in more fresh air! It’s not easy for me to go out, and I need to make sure I get back before 9!”

“Do I know you, madam? Are you the Scarlett Morris I knew before?” Eve had a shocked expression on her face.

Scarlett wrinkled her nose and felt embarrassed, “God, you’re right. Who am I anymore? I feel like I don’t even know myself.” Right then, a waitress came over and gave her a glass of lemonade. Scarlett smiled and thanked her politely.

But obviously, the girl didn’t intend to leave immediately. She hesitated for a while and then said, “I’m so sorry to interrupt you, but are you, Scarlett Morris?”

Scarlett nodded in response, and the waitress looked excited. “Then, can I take a photo with you, please? I’ve watched your commercial for Fenzy. It was gorgeous, and I absolutely loved it.”

“Oh, thank you, and of course.”

The waitress immediately took out her phone and took a selfie with Scarlett.

“Thank you! You’re so beautiful! ” The waitress took a bow and then ran away happily.

Then, people in the coffee shop who also recognized Scarlett looked for opportunities to walk up to Scarlett’s table. Everyone asked her for a photo. Scarlett tried to silently tell Eve that they’d better leave the café as soon as possible. Eve understood Scarlett’s message perfectly and strategically left the café along with Scarlett without any fuss.

After getting in the car, Scarlett was still immersed in the shock that so many people had recognized her.

“Honestly, I think you look more beautiful in person. So no wonder they’re so amazed and impressed. Count me your captive!” Eve winked at Scarlett.

“By the way, Porsche Cayenne and the rare white! You’re a super-rich, girl.” Eve recognized the luxurious car at first sight of it.

Scarlett smiled and touched her nose. She felt self-conscious. She didn’t explain anything. The more she said, the more risk there was that she would disclose her secret relationship with Francis. This wasn’t the time for it.

Fortunately, Eve didn’t pursue the topic. She took out her little pouch and got her lipstick out for a quick touch-up.

“I think it’s time to go shopping for some new clothes after Fashion Week!”

Scarlett loved shopping. She agreed to the suggestion immediately and drove the car to nearby Spring Mall.

At the mall, Scarlett had scurried straight to a boutique. Scarlett held up a long white dress, which was simple in design and without much decoration. Its simplicity made it chic and trendy. She said to Eve with her eyes shining, “You gotta try this one!”

Eve gave the dress a careful scan and then said, “You know what, I see your name carved into the soul of this dress.”

“Seriously? I’ve never tried on a white dress before.”

Why not? Scarlett thought to herself. She went into the fitting room with a little uncertainty but decided she had nothing to lose– she was just trying on a dress, after all.

Eve walked around the shop looking for some clothes that might interest her. She had discerning tastes. Soon after, she also went into the change room in a black dress.
