Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 70 Hold back

*RENEE*

I thought it might not be an important reason.Anna might have thought that Marcelo didn’t want to get married because of how aloof he was so I decided not to delve further.

“Is it okay if I wait here for Marcelo?“I inquired.

“Certainly, “Anna replied. “But Mr. King’s meetings often last over three hours. Can you wait that long?”

“I can”

I settled onto a sofa in the lounge, picking up a book to read

Yet, in less than thirty minutes, the lounge door swung open.

Marcelo, maneuvering his wheelchair swiftly, approached the.

“Why are you still here?” He gazed at me with an urgency in his voice, as if battling to contain his emotions.

“What?” I responded, puzzled.

“Weren’t you supposed to have dinner with someone?”

It appeared that the director was really loyal to Marcelo. A seemingly casual piece of information I had shared with him moments ago had reached Marcelo’s ears with remarkable speed.

“Is the meeting over?” Glancing towards the meeting room I noticed the senior executives hadn’t come out, indicating the meeting was still ongoing. “It’s not over, is it?”

He didn’t answer to that.

“Renee, I need to know, “Marcelo pressed, his mind reeling with the words Renee had shared with Paul, overheard through the meeting room’s surveillance.

*Paul, in a wolf pack, there’s only room for one alpha. Marcelo, with his prowess, need not yield to others. Are you trying to demean Marcelo by having him work under Gary? Logically, you ought to be grateful to Marcelo that he gave up the fight to become King Group’s president and also allowing it still operate in this city.*

Marcelo sighed inwardly. Was she naive? Advocating for him by herself, unaware that if not for the surveillance, her words would have remained unknown to him.

In that moment, a torrent of emotion surged through his veins. His gaze fixed unblinkingly on the woman before

him.

“Are you upset with me, Marcelo?” Setting aside her book, Renee continued, “I bumped into Andrew downstairs.I told him the Koenigsegg I was driving was a gift from you. He probably suspects you’re the KM Group CEO, hence he brought Paul here. I’m sorry…I…”

It was entirely unexpected for Renee when Marcelo kissed her so suddenly.

Overwhelmed by shock, she was momentarily immobilized. Her lower body collapsed onto the sofa, while her upper body leaned into Marcelo’s arms. His hand, gripping her waist, was the only thing keeping her somewhat steady.

“Oh my god!”
