Chapter 98
After hearing my description, Nina couldn't help but frown.
"I don't think she's Mr. Moretti's mistress. After all, someone like Mr. Moretti would definitely keep his mistress separate from everyone else. How could he allow a mistress to just walk into his office whenever she wants?"
She was right. Although Kane was gentle with me, when dealing with others, he was still that cold and ruthless mafia boss.
I rested my chin on the desk, looking at Nina. "Then what do you think her relationship with Kane might be?"
Nina thought for a moment and said, "You mentioned she called Mr. Moretti 'brother,' so maybe she's Mr. Moretti's sister - you know, like an actual blood relative."
When Nina put it that way, it made a lot of sense. The dark cloud in my heart instantly cleared, and I chatted with her cheerfully about other things for a while.
Suddenly, there was a ding from the elevator.
I turned around and saw Kane walking over with a frown.
He was impatiently tugging at his tie.
I wanted to call out to him, but my mouth inexplicably stayed shut.
Nina very tactfully hung up the phone right away.
Kane walked up to me, and the moment he saw me, his expression softened.
He gently cupped my face and placed a soft kiss on it.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, honey. Something came up."
I happily shook my head and said, "I just met a really nice lady who brought me up here."
Hearing this, Kane's expression darkened again.
He let go of my face and placed his hand on the desk, tapping it lightly. "You need to stay away from that woman."
I tilted my head, looking at Kane with confusion. "Why? I thought she was pretty nice."
If she wasn't Kane's mistress, I actually thought that woman in red was quite impressive.
Kane was silent for a long while before saying, "She's just the daughter of one of my business partners. I don't know her well, and I don't think she's all that great."
Hearing Kane say this, I could only blink and couldn't ask anything more.
"Let me see what delicious food you brought me today."
Kane unwrapped my lunch box. Just as he was about to open the lid, the elevator dinged again.
Kane and I both turned our heads at the same time. It was that woman in red again.
She was still so alluring. She looked at Kane and walked straight over.
Before she could speak, Kane frowned and said, "Scarlett, I thought you'd already left."
Scarlett ran her fingers through her thick, dark, seaweed-like curls, curved her red lips at Kane, and said with a somewhat lazy tone, "We were engaged once, after all. Do you have to be so harsh with me?"
My heart skipped a beat, and my expression froze instantly.
Scarlett was Kane's former fiancée!
I blinked, looking at Kane in disbelief.
Kane's face looked terrible.
His tone carried a warning as he said to Scarlett, "That was something arranged between our families. I never acknowledged it."
Scarlett shrugged and said casually, "Whether you acknowledge it or not, we did have an engagement, didn't we? And you were the one who broke it off first."
Hearing this, I seemed to understand.
Scarlett and Kane didn't get engaged through a love relationship - it was an arranged marriage between families.
But because Kane didn't want to marry Scarlett, he broke off the engagement.
Thinking about this, I still felt a bit uncomfortable.
In other people's eyes, Scarlett and Kane probably seemed like a perfect match.
Standing together, they looked so well-matched, so evenly matched.
As I was thinking about this, Kane's hand suddenly wrapped around my shoulder.
He pulled me closer into his embrace and continued speaking to Scarlett, "We only have a business relationship. If you keep appearing in front of my wife like this, we can end our partnership."
I saw a flash of displeasure in Scarlett's eyes.
But then she smiled, her eyes crinkling. "You're still as cold and heartless as ever. Fine, I just won't appear around your little wife anymore."
As she spoke, Scarlett even winked at me. She placed something she was holding on the desk, then turned and left.
The sound of her high heels disappeared along with the closing elevator doors. I looked up and met Kane's eyes.
Kane sighed and said, "I wasn't trying to hide it from you. I just thought it was in the past and there was no need to bring it up and make you unhappy."
Kane's words seemed somewhat convincing.
First of all, Kane didn't actively arrange the engagement with Scarlett.
The two of them really didn't seem familiar with each other at all, and Scarlett and he should have already broken off the engagement before my wedding with Kane.
Thinking this way, the corners of my mouth curved up again. My body suddenly lifted off the ground.
Kane had pulled me onto his lap and was looking at me quietly. "Are you angry?"
I nervously looked away. "Nonsense, I'm not."
But Kane grabbed my chin and made me look at him. There was a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Really not?"
I stubbornly said, "Of course not. Why would I be angry?"
But as soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it. Kane's hand slipped inside my clothes.
He even used his other hand to spread my legs apart, making my position change to straddling him.
I could clearly feel his hardness between his legs. I looked at Kane with some surprise and said, "You want to do it again?"
Kane thrust his penis upward, still with that mischievous smile. "You're my wife. Shouldn't you satisfy my sexual needs?"
I licked my lips and looked around.
Kane's voice rang out, "No need to look. There are no cameras here."
With that, Kane lifted me up and actually carried me to that huge floor-to-ceiling window.
I let out a startled cry, instinctively gripping Kane's collar tightly.
Kane held me and pressed me against the window, then smiled at me and said, "From here, you can see the whole city. Let's do it here today."
Without giving me a chance to object, he pulled off my skirt.
The cool air touched my skin, giving me goosebumps. I instinctively tried to close my legs.
But Kane forcefully spread them apart again.
Kane freed one hand and spanked my bottom. The crisp sound echoed through the office.
My face turned bright red, and I glared at Kane.
But Kane leaned down and bit my ear, rubbing it while laughing and saying, "If you keep looking at me like that, I can't guarantee what I might do to you."
His words scared me into backing away a little, my voice carrying a hint of pleading.
"This is an office after all. Let's go to the lounge."
But Kane seemed determined today - he was set on having sex in the office.
