Chapter 81 So special

His eyes, though clouded with sleep, still managed to unse le her.

Renee’s body tensed briefly. Then, finding her voice, she replied, “Luke called. He said he didn’t see you at the meeting and planned to postpone it.”

Marcelo released her and sat up, the haze of sleep lifting from his eyes.

“Should I tell him to go ahead with the meeting?” Renee suggested.

In her rough estimate, Marcelo could be ready and at KM Group within the hour. The meeting could still happen.

Marcelo responded, “Mrs. King, your husband’s absence from work doesn’t change the fact he has enough money to support you.”

He was implying that she didn’t need to hurry him to the office.

“Who needs your support?” she muttered under her breath.

Eyeing him with a hint of suspicion, she added, “Postponing a meeting affects the entire company. Even as president, shouldn’t you set an example?”

“Renee, you sound like my assistant.” Marcelo sighed inwardly. His plan for the day shifted unexpectedly. Since she insisted, he’d go to the office.

“Come on, I’m not your assistant, okay?“Renee’s eyes widened in disbelief.

As Marcelo neared the changing room, he paused and beckoned her. “Come here.”

“Need help picking a tie?”

Renee, groggy from sleep, took her time approaching.

Before she reached him, he glanced down and frowned. Looking at Renee’s bare feet, he instructed, “Wear shoes.”

She wiggled her toes, replying, “The floor heating’s on. It’s warm. Eh.”

Before she could finish, he swiftly lifted her, aligning her body with the bed’s edge and guiding her feet into her pink cotton slippers.

“Put it on.“Marcelo urged.

Renee,caught off guard, slipped her feet into the slippers in a daze.

Satisfied,Marcelo took her hand and led her back to the changing room. “Help me choose an outfit,” he said.

The memory of him holding her hand lingered in her thoughts.

His hand was significantly larger than hers, the touch rough yet gentle, leaving her feeling a faint numbne

Hand–holding, she mused, was quite intimate and it strangely made her feel safe.

She felt so safe with him.

Marcelo had only planned to visit his company, not to meet clients, so Renee picked a casual suit for him, less typical in style. She added platinum cufflinks with a lively color and design.

He frowned at the cufflinks.

Sensing his reluctance, Renee commented, “These look great on you, Mr. King. You’re only in your thirties. Don’t dress too old, okay? I remember a professor who dressed younger than you, and he was over fifty.”

Marcelo, always direct, pressed her against the closet door

“Renee, do you think I’m old?” he asked.

Back against the cool door, she blinked.

He was just in his thirties, he was certainly not old.

However, standing beside Renee, who was just twenty–two he did appear somewhat older.

Her silence prompted Marcelo to sneer. “I am going to show you that I’m certainly not old.”

His breath drew close, his hand sliding up under her nightgown, his expression intensely serious.

He took her against the wall, fucking her until she came multiple times and her throat went raw from moaning, senselessly.

An hour later, after Renee had showered, Marcelo gently placed her on the bed. She didn’t regret not immediately assuring him he wasn’t old because she so much enjoyed how he took her in the dressing room.

“What’s this?“Marcelo, now changed, noticed a jewelry box on the bedside table.

Only then did Renee recall the unopened gift from her friend. “It’s from a friend. I haven’t opened it yet.”
