Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Chapter 187: You Gotta Be Careful



As Glen was behind her, he saw her finger trembling slightly. Upon seeing that, he immediately stepped forward and said, “Elijah, I’m the one who made the stupid mistake of deciding to gamble with you. Please don’t get my friend involved in this.”

Elijah just smiled and said, “I’m trying to make friends with this young lady, don’t you see that? What’s so wrong with that, Glen?”

Glen rubbed his wrists and glanced at the race car driver who had just walked into the room. He pointed at him and said to Elijah, “The last round, shall we start it now?”

The driver took a look at his boss, seemingly waiting for his boss to give him his orders. He stood there motionlessly and completely quiet.

“Well, for this last round, I want to race the lovely Miss Morris here. If you win, Scarlett, all the money that Glen owes me will be his to keep. But if you lose, I’m afraid that you gotta stay here.” he grinned mischievously.

Glen instantly rejected the suggestion, “No way. I’m driving. Leave her out of this.”

All of a sudden, more than ten guns were pointed at them.

Scarlett just smiled and brushed off the snow on her shoulder and said, “Oh, take it easy! We are here just for fun. What are y’all getting so worked up about? No reason to get angry. You are the boss here, right? And you want me to race with you, right? I think you’d better ask your men to put the guns away then. You are scaring me now. How am I gonna participate in this little game if your guys have me at gunpoint the whole time, hmm?”

Her bold words amazed Elijah’s men. Nobody had ever spoken to their boss with such panache and confidence before. That she had actually agreed to race against their boss was astonishing, to say the least.

“Good. Let’s get started then.” Elijah clapped his hands and stared at her with cold eyes.

There were two racing cars in front of Scarlett, and Elijah allowed her to take her pick first.

After taking a good look at those two cars, Scarlett finally pointed at the red one and said, “I’ll drive this one.”

After that, Glen pulled Scarlett aside and said angrily, “Are you out of your mind?”

“You are the one out of mind, aren’t you? Why didn’t you see this coming when you decided to gamble with them?” Scarlett brushed his hand off and smoothed her shirt down. She continued, “Besides, I’ve never lost a race. You should be grateful that I’m here to help you get out of this mess.”

Glen finally said, “Okay, thank you! But you gotta be careful!”

Scarlett just patted his shoulder and said, “Just pray that he’ll actually let us all go once he loses this round.”

The rules for the game were very simple: whoever finished four laps first would be declared the winner. ,

A fierce game was about to start.

When Scarlett got in the car and sat in the driver’s seat, she had no fear in her heart. She had been in that same position so many times before, and the inside of a racing car felt just like home to her. She never got cold feet. When she saw the black racing car Elijah had chosen for the race, she raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, “What a great car! But it does not match for me.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

As the shot rang out, the race started, and Scarlett rushed out and took the lead. The roar of the engine awoke the most primitive desire to wreak havoc and violence in her. When she drove fast down the road, she felt euphoric.

At present, Scarlett was only a short distance ahead of Elijah, and what’s worse, she was not very familiar with the car she was driving. This was, of course, fatally dangerous if she made one wrong move. On the other hand, Elijah knew his vehicle like the back of his hand. He knew exactly what to do to make it go as fast as possible.

Elijah caught up with Scarlett, but to his surprise, Scarlett drifted towards the side and bumped into his car forcefully. She made him drive off the road, and within one second, Scarlett was able to gain control of her car again and get ahead of him. She surpassed him with ease. She stepped on the gas triumphantly and accelerated.

However, Elijah responded very quickly and used his car to rear-end Scarlett. As the two engines roared, they were engaged in a vicious chase.

When Scarlett saw the finish line ahead of her, she pressed hard on the accelerator again. The car rushed out like a flash and flew towards the finish line.

Upon seeing that, Elijah smirked, “What a stupid woman!”

Glen shouted out, “Scarlett, your car is about to explode, get out of the car quickly!”

However, the red car drove across the finishing line smoothly. It was only then, less than five seconds later, that the car exploded in a burst of sparkling flames. Nobody could deny how glorious a sight it was.

Fortunately, Scarlett had gotten out of the car just in time. She had tumbled out onto the lawn and managed to cover her head, but she had serious bruises all over her body from the shrapnel.

“Are you okay?” Glen asked, worried. Edith and Glen had sprinted towards Scarlett to check on her.

“Are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m injured?” Scarlett whined

Instantly, Glen carried her on his back and hobbled away. However, they were stopped by Elijah’s men. Glen got pissed off and cursed, “Get out of my way, you bastard!”

Scarlett patted his shoulder and said, “Calm down, Glen. Take it easy. We don’t want to anger these guys.”

At that moment, a man in a black coat came upon them from behind and said, “My boss has a private doctor inside. He says he wants you to get treated there, Miss Morris.”

Glen turned his head to ask Scarlett, “Do you want to go there?”

“The pain is killing me! Of course, I’d like to go,” she said angrily.
