LOGIN“Honey, what do you think is my greatest asset?” “You have too much energy in you.”Scarlet Jones had thought her flash-marriage husband was just an average joe. Who would have thought that he turned out to be a man at the helm of wealth, power, and influence? He put on a distinguished and cold front but behind closed doors, he would go the extra mile to harass her under the excuse that he wanted to spoil and bond with her! Her husband also said that because she could not keep up with him, he was going to "drill her"! Scarlet Jones was shocked. “...” This man must be a devil.
View MoreThe second day afternoon. D*mn it! Scarlet frowned as she opened her eyes as she cursed in her heart, ‘Animal!’ …Keanu was out of the room and she seized the moment to grab her dress before she snuck into the bathroom. When the bathtub was almost full, Scarlet put a drop of essential oil in it and then started to curse Keanu in her heart again. Half an hour later, she felt a lot better after a hot bath. When she came out, she saw her man appear in the room with an energetic look. She stopped and blushed unnaturally. “Do you want to have lunch here or downstairs?” he asked. “I’ll go down.” She glared at him as she clenched her teeth. It was his fault that she woke up at lunch time! “Let’s go.” He curled his arm around her waist and left the room. “I’m telling you if someone asked why did I wake up so late, you better don’t say anything stupid. I’ll tell them that I slept late because I played games on my phone, do you understand?” Scarlet elbowed Keanu’s wais
Scarlet’s doe-like eyes were blinking as she said with a guilty conscience, “It’s really nothing.” Mrs. Richards’ words made her blush so hard that she wanted to bury herself in a hole. How could she tell Keanu what his mother had said to her? Especially after forcing him to drink the soup earlier during lunch. “Is Mother asking you to prepare the soup again?” Keanu asked. “Huh? No, I told you I’ll be more careful, I won’t prepare that kind of soup for you anymore. Just stop asking.” Scarlet was caught off guard by his question. Her face was as red as an apple as Keanu tried to raise the embarrassing question again. Keanu tightened his lips as he stared at her in silence. Something was brewing inside his mind. On that night, after Scarlet came out from her bath, she saw Keanu sitting on the couch in the bedroom. She was slightly shocked by his presence and she instinctively slowed down her pace. “Y-You have no work tonight?” she asked carefully. In the past, he was afra
When Scarlet arrived at the office, she saw Keira but she did not know how to face her because of what had happened in the hospital and the warnings from the madam. However, Keira was big-hearted enough to greet Scarlet and since the students were having classes, Keira invited Scarlet to one of the coffee shops within the school. After the waiter had served the coffee and some pastries, Keira picked up the spoon and started stirring her cup. She smiled and said elegantly, “Ms. Jones, I’m a little emotional the other day because something happened to my grandfather. My words were a little harsh, so I hope you won’t mind what I said. “My mother worked with my father in Jones Corporation for more than a decade now. It’s only natural for her to be furious when she heard Grandfather wanted to give a ton of shares to an outsider without notice. I thank you for your understanding and rejected my grandfather’s offer. If you don’t mind, we still can be good colleagues in the future.”
Scarlet noticed the look on Keanu’s face and he looked like he was drinking poison. It was obvious that he did not like the soup yet he forced himself to drink it. Her heart felt heavy at the thought of it but it was not appropriate for her to say it out loud in front of an audience. She sat down and ate her lunch in silence but everything was tasteless with the uneasy feeling in her. After lunch, Keanu drove her to the school for work. The two of them kept quiet along the way. In the end, Scarlet broke the silence by saying in a heavy tone, “I think I’m never going to prepare soup anymore.” She did not feel happy when she saw him reluctantly drink the soup as her heart ached as if it was stung by a needle. “Do you know what ingredients were in that soup?” Keanu’s eyes were fixed on the road as he drove the car steadily. “Mother told the chef to prepare them for me and I don’t know most of them,” said Scarlet in a less confident tone as she lowered her head. He was Casey’
