All Chapters of Dangerous Desire: The CEO's Hidden Woman: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“I don't like receiving excessive attention from others, and I don't like the idea of putting my entire life on the stage to perform for the public. I’m sorry. I’ve gotta go.” Scarlett left her seat and walked out of Stella’s office.Before she had reached the bus station, Scarlett received a call from Niki.“What's up, girl? I never expect you to call” Scarlett was a bit surprised.Niki had always been the most successful in their dorm in her career and relationships too. She was the Student Union vice president and the leading debater of the school’s nationally ranked debate team. She was lively, cheerful, and caring, and she had many friends from departments too. Undoubtedly, she was much more popular than Scarlett in the department, but that didn’t get betwee

“How dare you reject my calls? I called you three times! Care to explain why you haven’t been home in two days? What the hell is wrong with you, girl?” Francis’s deep voice was so loud. It felt like he was right next to Scarlett at that moment. She could even hear his furious breathing.Scarlett sensed that he was sulking and unhappy. She patiently explained to him in as gentle a voice as she could manage. “Honey, listen, just calm down. I haven’t run away. Why would I do that? One of my friends had a major emergency, so I accompanied her to the hospital to sort everything out. Didn’t you receive my messages?”Scarlett heard the sound of pages turning from the other side of the phone and suspected that Francis must still be working. She wished she could be with him at the moment.

Scarlett raised her eyebrows and said, “Wasn’t your uncle’s marriage also for political and commercial benefits?"“Yeah, exactly! So I guess he can understand my suffering better than anyone…”“Think about it, bro. Even your determined, eloquent, and powerful uncle couldn’t win the battle against his marriage, what about you, little pawn?” Scarlett’s words made him even more deflated.“But I think you could probably learn something from his experience… So just tell me about Francis’s divorce! You know what, even the most genius agent needs enough intelligence to solve a problem!”“What the fuck do I know? They got divorced, and that’s it…” Chuck had no interest

“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that,” Mr. Underwood turned to Alice and said, “Make sure you sleep properly tonight, Alice.”Then the group followed Mr. Underwood and headed to their residence in the village.Everyone was relieved when they saw the house they were going to live in for the following month. It was located right next to the primary school, which meant it would be very convenient for them to get to the school every morning. Apparently, it was an old house but was clean and well-equipped with almost all the supplies they would need in their daily lives.Everyone set their luggage down inside the house and immediately decided that the two girls would take the rooms on the second floor, and the four boys would share the two rooms on the ground floor.

Hanging up the phone, Scarlett felt as though she had just been warmly embraced. But her thoughts were interrupted by a student who came over to invite them to the football pitch.When they arrived, they saw all the students of the school were gathering there, and the principal was standing in the front making a big announcement that they are going to have their own library and gymnasium by next year. Students were all excited to hear this good news, and everyone was cheering loudly.It turned out that the special fund for developing education in ill-conditioned areas also covered the fees for building supporting facilities like libraries and gyms.Since the good news came two days before the teachers were getting ready to leave the school, a big farewell party was arranged for them. They invited many students to jo
