Scarlett held her head high and flipped her hair. “Oh, don’t worry about me. I'm very good at that!”
They soon arrived at the 68th floor, the center of power. High heels stepped on the soft carpet, and people coming and going looked both serious and proud. Scarlett was quite comfortable with life at the very bottom of society and suddenly felt a sense of inferiority here. After all, she was like a fish: she was flexible and could rapidly adapt to all kinds of water conditions.
A tall woman in a gray suit stood in front of them, flipped through the folders, and said,
“Send these to the reference center, please.”

Francis put down the pen and leaned back in his chair,“Yes, you’re right. I wish I could be so blessed to have a niece like you.”Scarlett nodded with a smile and was about to continue to brag. Francis stopped her in time and asked,“How are you doing this month?”“Great! The colleagues are amiable, and the canteen is terrific. But most importantly, the boss is the best!”“Scarlett!” Francis didn’t buy her adulation.“Honestly, there is nothing to complain about. Well, it would be better if I could go into the kitchen and see how the chef makes that sweet and sour fish!”
Dangerous Desire: The CEO's Hidden Woman Chapter 33: Be Good
The weather was getting colder. Going to work had become an excruciating thing because of the freezing cold. People who lived in the city center were safe, but those who lived in distant suburban areas had to commute. Not only did they have to get up much earlier, but they also spent a whole lot of time stuck in terrible traffic jams. Scarlett was one of those pitiable suburban dwellers. Every morning when her roommates were still fast asleep, Scarlett had to get up, get ready, and then hit the road to get to work.Compared to the hardships she had faced during her childhood, this bitterness was no big deal for Scarlett. At least she was now spending only her own money, and she had already paid off all her debts to her aunt. She wished she could repudiate any connection with the extended Morris family. She wanted to change her last name to Cloud.Right then, Sc

He was worried that she had gotten herself into some trouble, so he asked, “I can lend you however much you ask for, but I need to know what you’re gonna do with the money.”Scarlett kept silent for a while. She then shook Chuck’s shoulders and said, “Can’t you just give me the money?”Chuck put on a serious face, “I take you as a serious friend, so I need to know the reason. I just wanna know you’re not in trouble.”“My brother got a recommendation to go to Cambridge for a doctoral degree.”Chuck was almost choked by a full mouth of whisky when he heard the word Cambridge. “What the fuck,”Scarlett didn’t c

Scarlett stole Chuck’s car key when she was in the private room.She was, after all, a genius racer, and speed was her specialty. Because of her eagerness to save her brother, her speed was crazier than ever before. She ran a lot of red lights, and even the traffic police cars were left far behind. All she knew was that Skyler was suffering, and she could not just sit there and wait for Francis to do something about it.Scarlett pulled over in a dimly lit street and picked up old Jim and two of his subordinates. “The gun?” Scarlett asked.Jim patted his waist. “It’s right here, baby.” Scarlett held the steering wheel tightly and shot out again.Jim sat in the passenger seat and asked, “You sure you wanna do this?”

Scarlett raised her chin and looked contemptuously at the man who was lying on his stomach. “He can’t do anything to me now. I can handle him myself. Don’t worry.” Scarlett lifted her gun and aimed it at the man, and Jim ran out with Skyler hoisted over his shoulders.Skyler was afraid for his sister’s safety and kept shouting her name. “You think you can walk out from here?” The man put on a wicked smile. Scarlett stepped forward and kicked him in the face. She stepped on his wrist with one foot. “A remote bomb control? I thought you had some new tricks!”“Listen, I know David Morris caused you and your family great miseries. But that’s just none of my fucking business. We don’t have any connections with that bastard anymore! What did you do this for? Money?”

He didn’t respond. He simply leaned down where Scarlett was lying on the bed and lifted the quilt closer to her chin.“Just stay in bed and get some rest. I’ll deal with you when you’re healthy again. Just rest.”Scarlett had not yet recovered from the immense shock of all that had transpired. She was also extremely exhausted, so she had no energy to fight him. She slipped back into a deep sleep.As she slept, Francis’s eyes fell on the IV drip that was attached to Scarlett, slowly breathing life back into her. He stared at Scarlett. She had been through a lot in the past 24 hours. He held Scarlett’s hand in his own and gently caressed her fingers.He was lost in thought. How come he had decided to fire the gun? What had come ove

Scarlett’s fake smile was wiped right off her face as she heard those words. “I don’t know who Johnny is. I only have one brother.”The girl was smart, and she seemed to know just how to get on Scarlett’s nerves. She had impeccable timing, too: she knew to leave right before Scarlett flew into a rage.“Come to visit us if you have time, Scarlett. See you!” She smiled and walked away with her friend.Bell immediately asked, “Who even was that? Wanna tell me what the fuck just happened?”Scarlett knocked back a full glass of icy lemonade to cool herself down. “Claire Morris, of course!”“Wait, what? Morris? Are you related to her? Wait, is she your half-sis

Scarlett took it out carefully and looked at it. It was a luxurious item, so she thought she would fit right in that outfit at Chuck’s birthday party where Irving’s who’s who would certainly be. It was also just the right color– a light pink–for Scarlett to look elegant and refined. “This is it!” Scarlett was pleased with her choice.Scarlett put on the high heels Skyler had bought for her and suddenly realized that she hadn’t yet called Skyler today. She immediately took out her phone and gave Skyler a call.Scarlett could practically hear Skyler’s great resentment of hospital life through the mobile phone, so Scarlett decided to hang the phone up just in time to prevent him from making another request to leave the hospital.Alan was already waiting at the gate

Her head felt heavy.“You’re awake!” Francis said as he walked into the bedroom from the balcony. He smiled at her. “I thought you’d be out for hours. Aren’t you jetlagged? How long was the flight from Lisbon to Irving anyway? And didn’t you have a stopover in Dallas?”Scarlett rested her head on Francis’s shoulder and said, “Well, I wanted to go to bed early last night. No thanks to you, we ended up staying up so late! I barely got enough sleep. You’re exhausting me, Francis!”“Oh? Am I? I’m so sorry, Scarlett.” Francis teased. He kissed her neck and tousled her hair.

She looked as pretty as ever.“Of course I miss you, but I can’t do anything about it, right? I can’t cry on daddy’s shoulder as Brittany did.” Francis said. He came to the balcony and lit up a cigarette and felt a little relaxed.“Brittany cried?” Scarlett asked in surprise.“Yep, she cried for over an hour,” he said as he breathed out a plume of thick smoke.Upon hearing that, Scarlett felt kind of guilty. Was she selfish? Was she a bad mother, a bad wife?“Francis, do you resent me?” Scarlett asked as she Skyped with

I’ll be gone for a month,” Scarlett said one evening.“Why do you have to be gone for such a long time? Can’t you just get one of your associates to go instead? What’s going to happen to us while you’re gone? At least try to see if you can come back sooner….” Francis moaned unhappily. He hated being away from his wife.“Carlos will take care of his sisters, and besides, Brittany and Shannon are very good kids.” Scarlett comforted gently. “You don’t have to worry about anything.”“I’m not talking about them.

You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?”“No, I’m the same as you. I feel nervous,” he said in a low voice.“What?” Scarlett asked curiously.Francis was standing in front of the window of his study room with his hands in his pocket, looking out at the vast, blue sea outside.He took a deep breath and smiled, “I said, I’m much more nervous than you are.

At this moment, Carlos took Shannon by the hand and walked in slowly, and said, “Brittany, mommy is tired. Please go play by yourself.”But Brittany just ignored him and took Scarlett to jump on the balcony. She was excited about the big blue swimming pool in front of them and said, “Mommy, I want to swim. Mommy, please go swimming with me.”The setting sun shone on the swimming pool; it was very quiet.“My sweetheart, could you ask daddy to go swimming with you a while later?” Scarlett said as she touched her head.Though Brittany was unhappy about this, she was not a stubborn kid; after that, she turned around to go look for Francis.

Eve was pissed off and almost fainted from how angry and frustrated she was feeling right then.Damon immediately held her around her waist and said smilingly, “It’s our wedding day, Eve! I know you’re stressed out and panicking about this whole pregnancy thing, but this is actually good. You’re not pregnant! We’re in the clear! So let’s just try to enjoy this day now, why don’t we?
