Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 525: The Hype

Marcos was taken aback when he heard that Susan planned to accompany him to the office. "You're doing fine at home. Why do you want to come to the company?" he asked, puzzled.

"I want to help you," Susan said, though she had her own reasons. After all, a man like Marcos-with his status and charm-could easily attract other women. What if someone tried to take him away from her? She wanted to stake her claim, making it clear to everyone where she stood while also showing Marcos how thoughtful she could be.

"Susan, I've already assigned the perfume launch to someone else. There's nothing you can help with. Besides, it's freezing outside. Just stay home and rest," Marcos replied. He couldn't help but think of the Giron family. If they found out Susan was still by his side, it would surely cause chaos.

"Marcos, I know what this is about. You look down on me, don't you? You think my reputation isn't good enough, so you don't want to take me out."

"That's not it," Marcos said hastily, scrambling for an excuse. "I'm just worried about being too busy to take care of you." The truth, however, was that he didn't want the Giron family to discover that Susan was still living with him. He had grown accustomed to living alone, with only a housekeeper for company. He had made it clear to the housekeeper that under no circumstances was she to reveal Susan's presence in his villa. Without his approval, she wouldn't dare let a word slip. If the Giron family learned Susan had moved in with him, they would be furious.

"It's fine," Susan said confidently. "I've always been independent. You don't need to worry about me. Besides, I can actually help you. Did you know that Aurora invited Candy?"

"Candy? She's endorsing their perfume?" Marcos asked, his brows furrowing.
