Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

As Chuck and last night’s Latina kissed goodbye right outside the door of their room, Scarlett emerged from the corner.

“Where did you sleep last night?”

“I slept with your uncle!”

Chuck suspiciously looked at her, “Wait. What the fuck? Is Francis in Hong Kong? I didn’t know you two know each other… when did you even meet?”

Scarlett pointed to her dress. “By the way, he bought me this. Does it look good on me?”

Chuck’s face turned pale. “Did you really hook up with my uncle?”

“No fucking way!” Scarlett snorted. “I met him in the lobby last night. There was no room left, so I just crashed into his room. We shared a suite that had separate rooms, just like our room. Which you locked me out, of course!”

Chuck breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I knew it! Francis wouldn’t be interested in a rebellious young girl like you…”

Scarlett was already annoyed, and Chuck’s words only further ignited her anger. She kicked his knees and then punched him with her fist. “Do you have any fucking conscience? If it were not for your uncle, I would have had to sleep in the lobby last night. You’re an asshole!” Chuck knew he was in the wrong and didn’t fight back this time. He kept stepping back to dodge Scarlett’s attacks. “If I hadn’t helped you got that girl last night, you would’ve been alone in your room jacking off like some sad schmuck!”

They fought till the airport and during their plane right too. They separated at Irving airport without even saying goodbye. Chuck had done one thing right, though. After a week, people really had forgotten about Scarlett, just like he had predicted they would.

The Scholarship Evaluation Committee didn’t pay much attention to the bad comments about Scarlett online and insisted that Scarlett be included in the list of the scholarship winners. They collected videos of the four students and made a promotional video to be broadcast on campus. Among them, Scarlett was the only female student and received the most attention.

After the school released the film, everyone realized that Scarlett was not some kind of “dumb blonde” at all! She had participated in the International Youth Snooker Championship and was very highly ranked. She was also the runner-up of the women’s swimming competition that was held last year. Plus, when the school received exchange students from different countries, she acted as an interpreter of Russian, French, and Arabic.

The day after the video was broadcast, Scarlett was called to the Dean’s Office. The Dean told her not to pay attention to what anybody on campus was saying about her– she was an excellent student, and she deserved the honor. When Scarlett walked out of the Dean’s office, the drizzling rain brought her some sadness. She thought of her mother. She wished that her mother was still around– a smart and kind-hearted woman– so Scarlett would have a shoulder to cry on and wouldn’t have to bear all these pains herself.

After lunch, Scarlett checked her bank account. After browsing the transaction details, she smiled with satisfaction– T. B. S. Empire had been very generous. They paid her more than ten times what she had been paid for any interpretation gig she had taken up in the past. She thought of Skyler.

With a large bag of snacks and treats, Scarlett went to Skyler’s school.

“Skyler hasn’t come back yet. I expect he’ll be back after dinner. You can wait here.” a senior fellow in Skyler’s laboratory told her. Scarlett sat by the window, and when she turned her head, she saw Skyler getting off from a Mercedes-Benz. She was surprised and wondered if Skyler was secretly dating some girl.

“Scarlett!” Skyler spotted his sister right after he entered the lab and greeted her with delighted eyes.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Scarlett stood up. “I haven’t seen you in quite a while! Look at your black eyes! You…”

“Again! Scarlett! I’m eating well and sleeping well, and I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry about my health, okay?” Skyler stopped Scarlett from worrying about him. Scarlett suddenly asked him, “You’re dating a girl?”

He blushed, “What…what are you talking about?”

“Why did you stutter… if it’s not true?”

His eyes seemed to be filled with sorrow, but Scarlett didn’t notice it.

“I…I haven’t made up my mind…”

“Don’t worry too much if she’s from a well-off family. You have great potential, and the current financial gap doesn’t really matter. But remember to be safe, okay? I don’t think I’m ready to be an aunt just yet…”, She teased.

Skyler had lost track of Scarlett’s words. He looked deeply distressed.

After spending a relaxing and carefree week, Scarlett got another troublesome call. In the evening, she went out in a cap and black windbreaker.

When she reached her destination, she took out her phone. “I’ve arrived.”

Old Jim came out from the warehouse with several young men, who were all immediately attracted to the sight of Scarlett.

“What’s the matter?” Scarlett asked.

Old Jim was actually not that old but a thin man only in his thirties. His gang of several hundred was one of the biggest gangs in all of Irving. A horrifying scar on his face reached all the way down to his neck, which made him look much older and more experienced than he truly was.

“I need you to get back into a race!”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

Jim handed Scarlett a cigarette and lit one up for himself. He took a deep breath, “Those stupid caps kept a strict eye on us. That’s why I need your help.” Scarlett held the cigarette between her slender fingers and smoked for a while. After a few minutes had passed, she stubbed it out and said,

“I’ll do it. Are there any rules?”

“Very simple. It’s just five laps. Whoever finishes first wins. That’s it.”

Jim looked at Scarlett, and the words in his heart turned several times without coming out. He knew Scarlett was repaying him for what he had done for her several years ago. Over the years, he had watched her grow from a little girl into a charming and independent young woman. She asked him to teach her how to race a car, how to smoke, drink and gamble. He felt like he hadn’t done her any favors– he was a negative influence in Scarlett’s life if anything. Even so, she had grown into a remarkable woman. She wasn’t like anyone else around her. Scarlett was different.
