Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Scarlett reached for her pocket to fish her phone out, but when she put her hand inside her pocket, she found that her phone was gone. “Wait… where the hell is my phone anyway?” She was puzzled.

“Your new cell phone went missing again? No way!” Bell was shocked.

And then Scarlett suddenly remembered that Francis had thrown her phone in the backseat. When she had gotten out of the car, she had forgotten to get it back. Once Bell realized that Scarlett would be no help, she started asking other people.

Realizing that she wouldn’t get her phone back until the end of the day, Scarlett felt irritated and upset. She wanted to check her messages. What if something happened to Carlos and the help tried to give her a call? What would happen then?

By two in the afternoon, Scarlett finally couldn’t bear it anymore. She got her coat on and decided that she was going to go to Francis’s office to get her phone back.

When she arrived, the receptionist at the front desk didn’t know her, so she just mingled with a crowd and followed them to get in the elevator. After all, they didn’t know if she worked there or not. How would they?

As the elevator opened, the secretaries in the President’s office saw her coming and instantly welcomed her warmly.

“Mrs. Sandler, are you here to see the boss?” Amanda smiled.

“Amanda, please don’t call me like that. It sounds weird to me!”

Everyone laughed.

“Is he busy now?” Scarlett suddenly asked.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Jenifer Baldwin just got in his office, and I guess they are talking about business now. So will you wait here or do I need to call my boss right now?” Amanda asked.

“Please get on with your own business! I’d better wait outside a while.” Scarlett smiled.

Amanda served her a cup of coffee and a tray of desserts to keep her satisfied as she waited.

More than ten minutes later, the office door opened, and Scarlett saw Francis and Jenifer walking out of the office together, and Jenifer was smiling and kept thanking Francis.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Sandler! Without your help, our plan of having our company go public probably wouldn’t have succeeded.” Jenifer said very politely.

“You are welcome! It’s really not a big deal!” Francis said gracefully.

“Scarlett is so lucky to have found a husband in you! And we are very grateful to her for that!” She said smilingly. When they walked to the elevator, she nodded at him lightly and said politely, “You are a busy man, so you can stop here, and I can walk myself out!”

“Please take care!” He said after her.

Standing behind them, Scarlett was very angry to see this scene.

When Francis turned around and saw her, he quickly walked towards her and said, “Are you here to get your phone? You are so forgetful!”

“Don’t you want to explain what just happened?” Scarlett stared at him coldly.

Francis immediately understood what she was talking about: Scarlett had seen Jenifer and him talking. Francis grabbed Scarlett’s wrist and tried to take her to his office so they could discuss matters privately. Scarlett was fuming.

When Francis closed the office door, Scarlett just had her arms across her chest and stared at him, “Explain! I’m waiting.”

“It’s just a little favor! And if they live well, they won’t come to bother you, right?” he said.

“I don’t want that! I’ve told you, and you have promised me that you won’t help them. But you didn’t keep your promise. I wouldn’t say I like Jenifer, and I hate all of them. Don’t you know my mother died because of her?” Scarlett said angrily

“Calm down! Please just listen to me, okay?” he said as he grabbed her arm.

“I don’t want to hear your explanations!” she said angrily. She got up and tried to get out of his office. She reached for the handle, twisted it, and bolted out.

Francis went out to chase after her, but he was a little late because the elevator was going down already.

“Damn it!” he cursed.

“Boss, is there anything we can do to help?” Amanda hurried to ask.

Francis just walked back into his office.

As for Scarlett, she rushed out of the building of Francis’s company and had no place to go, so she just wandered around on the streets. When she calmed down, she came to realize that she had forgotten to grab her phone again.

After tripping on a small stone and crashing to the ground, she managed to hail a taxi to go back to school. When she got in the taxi, she felt kind of glad that she didn’t have her phone. That meant she could avoid Francis and refrain from talking to him for a little while.. At least, she didn’t need to answer Francis’s phone and had time to stay alone.

When she arrived at school, Bell saw her walking in a strange posture and came over to ask, “What’s wrong with you? Did you fall down and hurt yourself or something?”

“Yeah, it really hurts. I must have sprained something… can you help me take a look? I’m worried it might be serious… I didn’t realize how hard I fell. Must have been all the adrenaline.”

After Bell took her to the washroom, she lifted up her shirt to look and said, “Oh my god, it looks kinda bad, Scarlett. I’m not going to lie to you, the wound is kinda big….”

Scarlett moaned in pain.

“Where did you go? Didn’t you tell me that you were looking for your phone?” Bell asked.

Scarlett pulled down her blouse and said, “I’d better go to see a doctor and get some medicine. It’s killing me!”

After that, both of them walked downstairs slowly and headed for the college clinic.

As for Francis, he called Scarlett from his office, but when he dialed her number, he found that her phone was right in front of him, on his table. Scarlett is so stubborn, he thought to himself.

Scarlett was still mad at Francis. She didn’t go back home and decided to spend the night on campus instead.
