Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

That man who kidnapped Skyler haunted Skyler and me like a nightmare, and he threatened our safety with every moment that he was alive. So I just couldn’t wait to end that nightmare myself…I’m sorry to cause you so much trouble…But I always trust you, I really do…” Scarlett was a little upset. She didn’t want Francis to misunderstand the situation or her feelings either.

“I promise there won’t be next time.” Scarlett looked up at him with watery eyes.

“Never again.” Francis couldn’t help but hold her tight; he wanted Scarlett close to him, always.

Scarlett’s heart was beating frantically, and her cheeks flushed red as if she had downed multiple shots of tequila. For this first time, she gazed deeply into Francis’s eyes without any fear and without avoiding his gaze. It seemed like the entire Milky Way was hidden inside his glittering gray eyes. “How come I never noticed before that he is actually so charming?” Scarlett thought to herself.

All of a sudden, Scarlett held Francis’s chin and tugged his lips to hers. Francis was caught off guard by the unexpected kiss. He didn’t feel anything. He was numb, taking a few seconds to realize that this scene from his dreams was truly happening.

Scarlett was actually quite an inexperienced kisser. She didn’t really know how to kiss at all– but she knew how to initiate one. Francis could tell she wasn’t an expert kisser– her posture and lips were stiff.

“Fuck!” Francis thought. Immediately, he lowered his head and kissed Scarlett back passionately. His arms were strong– he held Scarlett tightly and kept her close to him. Scarlett felt like there was a fire burning deep inside her; she was full of passion. She could hardly breathe.

The light was dim, and it was not until her waist reached the cold railing that she came to herself. Francis had stopped his ardent kissing, and he was now holding Scarlett’s back and letting her lean against him.

Scarlett awoke from her sudden and strange impulse and was now caught up in her own thoughts. What was this incestuous encounter? Didn’t she always call Francis “uncle”?

She was so embarrassed that she had initiated a kiss herself that she just buried her face in Francis’s chest and murmured in a soft voice, “Kissing, it is said, can relax 29 muscles in the face…So kissing works better than any type of botox… and what’s more… ah! I also heard that it could prevent dental caries and protect the health of your teeth…”

“Alright, thank you for telling me this, I learned a lot.” Francis couldn’t help but smile, looking at Scarlett in his arms. She was like a helpless kid who thought she had done something wrong.

“You know…a French kiss can burn a calorie every 20 seconds, and it’s more effective than going to the gym!”

“Alright, alright, so what are you trying to say?” He pulled her back and held her neck with his big, warm hands, making it impossible for her to escape.

Scarlett held up her head cautiously, and she looked at the man before her with her earnest, heart-melting eyes and said, “So… I just had to lose weight… and care for my skin…”

It was the first time Francis was told by a woman that she kissed him just for the health benefits of kissing. He had a deep smile on his lips, and his eyes reflected a brave and stubborn girl who just became timid and cute when in love.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Francis let go of his hands and stepped back, with one hand in his trouser pocket, raising his hand and picking up a glass of red wine from the waiter’s plate. “It’s okay if you would like to think of it that way.”

Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief and thought she could smoothly overcome that embarrassing moment.

“But you took advantage of me, how will you pay me back?” Francis swirled the red liquid in the glass and said.

Scarlett almost felt crying when she heard his words. She took a step back and said, beginning for forgiveness, “Uncle Francis…”

“I’d never been taken advantage of so blatantly and arrogantly, do you think I will simply let go?”

She gritted her teeth, “So, what do you want me to do?”

Francis put down his wine glass and smiled softly. He leaned forward slightly and approached Scarlett’s ear. “I haven’t decided yet, wait for my command.”

After that, he took a step ahead and prepared to leave. But he suddenly thought of something and stopped to say, “By the way, don’t smoke again. Or you will know the consequence!”

Scarlett glared at his back and then took a full glass of wine from the waiter’s plate and knocked it back within a second.

As soon as her final exam was over, Scarlett received a phone call from Stella telling her to come to her studio and discuss the shoot for tomorrow. Scarlett asked her supervisor for permission to leave the next day and set off for Stella’s magazine office.

Stella’s studio was in a small two-story building with simple but stylish decorations. The round sofa and the lovely green plants seemed to be randomly put, but the picture as a whole was very visually appealing.

Scarlett took off her overcoat and hung it on the coat rack at the entrance.

“Scarlett! Glad to see you again!” Stella came down the stairs with a bright smile. She looked more business-like in her black pencil skirt and buttoned-up shirt.

“Hey, Stella!” Scarlett smiled and said hello. She noticed that there stood a tall, thin man beside Stella.

“This is Andrew, the chief photographer of our magazine.” Stella introduced him to Scarlett.

Scarlett greeted him with a slight nod of her head, “Nice to meet you!”

“She looks good.” Andrew didn’t mind her greeting but just turned to Stella and said.

“Never doubt my taste!” Stella raised her eyebrows and smiled at Andrew. She then took Scarlett directly to the cloakroom and asked her to change into the two sets of clothes prepared for her. A makeup artist stood beside the room, looking at the model and wondering what makeup she should wear.
