Hmm, it looks like you are no longer sleepy. Fine, I’ll take you out to get milk tea and barbecue. Afterward, can we have another late night together?

By the time Renee realized what she had walked into, it was too late. A rosy blush appeared on her cheeks, and she blinked rapidly to cover up her embarrassment.

You wish,she muttered as she looked away from him.

A bunch of young playboys had approached in hopes of currying favor with Marcelo, and they just happened to overhear the conversation between him and Renee.

They stopped short in shock.

Was this really the noble Mr. King discussing fried chicken and barbecue with Renee? And Renee, too, had she really just put on a sullen act to get her way? Wasn’t she always so elegant and demure?

What the hell?

Worse yet, they seemed to be discussing something else, something intimate that was meant to occur behind closed doors. And Renee had basically refused Marcelo.

What was really going on with these two?

As far as everyone else was concerned, Marcelo and Renee came from two different worlds.

Yet, after what they had just seen, they couldn’t deny that the two made a perfect match. There was a vibe between them, an unseen barrier that closed them off from the rest of the world.

Aren’t you bored just sitting there, Miss Hudson? Why don’t you play cards with us?Vivian, who had been gone for ten minutes, reappeared after composing herself. You wouldn’t mind, right, Marcelo?she added, turning to smile at him.

After acknowledging Marcelo’s marriage to Renee, she deemed this polite inquiry necessary.

Marcelo tilted his head toward Renee, silently telling them that the decision lay with her.

Renee’s eyes locked with Vivian’s.

One gaze was calm and gentle, while the other was friendly and eager. Only the two women themselves knew that separate storms were brewing underneath the surface.

Renee stood up and said, Sure thing.

She was not bored, of course, but she wanted to see what sort of tricks Vivian was going to play.

Half an hour had passed.Renee’s pile of chips had grown significantly, overshadowing Vivian’s dwindling stack. In their most recent game, Renee had won a large number of chips from her.

Miss Hudson, you’re really skilled at cards,Vivian remarked with a sigh. I’m almo

hips.

Her words seemed to act as a cue. Suddenly, a voice rang out across the room.

Mr. King, come and help Vivian with her cards! It’s her first game since coming home, and she’s losing terribly. That’s not a good look!

Renee glanced towards the source of the voice, her frown deepening as she fought to hide the chill in her gaze.

It was Alma

Meanwhile,Marcelo was lounging on a sofa, surrounded by group of young men.

He was more of a listener than a talker, his demeanor cool as he heard them out.

Ever since his role as CEO of the KM Group became known, those who once flattered Andrew had shifted their attention to him. At the sound of Alma’s voice, Marcelo turried. He noticed the frustrated expression on Vivian’s face. Yet, she managed a smile and teased, Marcelo, did you come to welcome me back, or to team up with someone to pick on me?

Marcelo’s eyes then shifted to Renee. The right side of her table was piled high with chips. Her knack for dice games had evidently translated well into card skills.

Marcelo, acknowledging the young men around him, wheeled himself over to Vivian.

Let’s play this way,he suggested, starting to instruct Vivian in the game. He wasn’t particularly fond of card games, but playing against Renee sparked interest in him.

He could have some fun with his wife.

This shift caught the attention of the others, who couldn’t help but comment.

Look at Mr. King, teaming up with Vivian to take on Reneeone said.

Another chimed in, Well, it’s Vivian who called him over. If you could do that, maybe he’d help you too!

Right,but we’re not in Vivian’s league,laughed another.
