Chapter 153 His companion
The news caught Renee off guard, leaving her with no time to prepare. By the time she finished her work, the clock had almost struck five in the afternoon.
Renee pressed the elevator button, signaling her ascent to the thirty–eighth floor.
To her surprise, as the elevator doors glided open, Marcelo emerged in a wheelchair.
He seemed taken aback as Rence approached him willingly
“Planning to join Harvillston?” he inquired.
Renee, momentarily shocked, had almost forgotten about it “No, I came to ask if you’re attending a welcome party tonight.”
Marcelo’s tongue brushed against the back of his teeth, a clear sign of his displeasure with Renee’s persistent refusal to join his company.
He desired to have Renee under his watchful eye all the time, the most comforting approach for him.
Renee approached Marcelo with her chin slightly lifted, her radiant face adorned with a subtle coquettish charm.
“I would like to attend Miss Lambert’s welcome party as well. Would you mind having me as your companion?”
she asked.
Luke was left speechless.
This didn’t seem like Renee was going as a companion to a welcome party.
It felt more like she was going there for a confrontation.
At that moment, Marcelo’s phone rang.
Renee glanced at the caller ID. It was Vivian.
The CEO’s floor was quiet, and being in proximity, Renee could faintly hear Vivian’s voice emanating from the phone.
“Marcelo, have you wrapped up your work? Will you come tonight?”
Her voice resonated with cheerfulness and sweetness, carrying the unique emotions of a young girl.
Renee observed Marcelo silently, her previously relaxed expression now stiffening, her smile fading.
Marcelo cast a glance at Renee and replied, “Yes.”
Vivian continued happily, “I just returned to the country and don’t have close friends here. Can you be my male companion tonight?”
“No,“Marcelo replied without hesitation. “I already have a female companion.”
Renee couldn’t hear Vivian’s words clearly, but Marcelo’s reply hinted at his rejection of being Vivian’s male companion.
After Marcelo ended the call, Renee furrowed her brow and inquired, “You already have a female companion for tonight?”
Besides Vivian, did he have other choices for female companions?

with him.
He had discerned her thoughts.
“You’re exasperating!“Renee vented her frustration, playfully stepping the shoulder and whispering through gritted teeth,
A glance at Luke left her with a twinge of guilt.
Unfazed by the routine banter, Luke wore a stoic expression that might as well have proclaimed tedness.
Speechless, Renee felt her temperature rising once again.
“How did you learn about tonight’s welcome party?” Marcelo inquired.
“Someone extended the invitation to me.” Renee chose not to reveal the person who invited her and asked, “To you have any objections to my attendance?”
Marcelo struggled to follow her train of thought.
Since he had already agreed to her being his companion, he couldn’t understand why he would have any objections to her being there.
Renee sensed his confusion and probed, “Why didn’t you explicitly mention that you wanted me thera
With a sigh, Marcelo inquired, “Aren’t you not acquainted with Vivian?”
He hadn’t brought it up, presuming, she wasn’t acquainted with Vivian.
Renee took a moment to recall her somewhat fuzzy statement from the night before.
It’s not that she wasn’t acquainted with Vivian.
She was simply irritated by her.
“I wasn’t acquainted with her before, but today presents a favorable opportunity to become acquainted. “Renes

added, “Of course, if there comes a day when I’m no longer Mrs. King, I won’t be inclined to familiarize myself with your friends.”
They paused before a Rolls Royce Phantom,Marcelo’s preferred vehicle for the day.
Luke had already opened the car door, but Renee noticed Marcelo, in his wheelchair, remaining still.
Turning back, she locked eyes with his silent, stern gaze.
The gaze held an intensity that was both captivating and startling.
Before she could inquire about the sudden change, he swiftly stood up, pressing her against the car.
The car door shut with a resounding bang
Luke, sensing the atmosphere, promptly averted his gaze.
“Renee, if you’re not Mrs. King, whose wife do you aspire to become?”
His voice dipped low and carried a dangerous undertone as he firmly held her chin. His gaze resembled that of a predator sizing up its prey, almost as if he was contemplating…
Securing a defiant capture in place?
She would become compliant once confined.
This contemplation sent a shiver coursing down Renee’s spine.
“I… I was merely expressing a hypothetical scenario, “Renee replied, her voice subtly revealing a trace of unease.
