Chapter 228

Renee gave a nervous laugh.

“I was just trying to finish up everything with the drama team as quickly as I could.”

With every new actor came the challenge of finding the right look and makeup that would suit their role and match the scene and costumes of the other characters. It was a lot of work.

Marcelo gave a knowing hum, his voice hinting at something more.

Renee, feeling a twinge of guilt, gently pulled on his sleeve.

“Marcelo, I never made a fuss about you helping Marvin with Sarah. You can’t use this against me.”

Marcelo gave her a look, as if asking, “Is this your way of saying you’re sorry?”

Renee didn’t believe she was in the wrong.

If men could go after their careers, why couldn’t women do the same?

She had no intention of changing.

Yet…she thought she might still smooth things over with him.

Leaning forward, she supported herself on the back of the chair and landed a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth, her eyes shining as she gazed at him.

“Honey, are you still upset with me?” she whispered.


The moment her lips touched his, Marcelo’s mood shifted.

That small kiss, though far from enough, pierced through his annoyance.

Her endearing call of “honey” sounded incredibly sweet, completely catching him off guard. Marcelo lifted her by the waist, moving her directly to the passenger seat.

“Hey!” Renee exclaimed, surprised by the sudden movement.

Before she knew it, she was sitting in his lap, enveloped in a deep kiss that lasted much longer than the first.

It wasn’t until she pressed firmly against his chest that the kiss broke.

Marcelo hesitantly released her, his eyes filled with questions about her discomfort.

Feeling her squirm, he wrapped his arms tighter around her waist, pulling her closer.

“You…Let me go!”

She felt completely trapped in his hold, her hands only managing to rest against his chest.

In such a hold, everything seemed so intense.

Renee froze, not daring to make a move.

Marcelo’s voice was deep, filled with emotion and a hint of amusement at catching her off guard. “Aren’t you used to this by now? Hum?”

“Marcelo, we are in a parking lot! Inside the car!”

Renee was extremely anxious.

Marcelo teased, she recalled how, despite his usually cool demeanor, he loved seeking excitement!

“I won’t tolerate any pranks in my car! If you do, I’ll stop picking you up after work!”

As if threatening not to pick him up from work would actually deter him.

Marcelo couldn’t help but scoff quietly to himself.

After a short pause, he gave her a pat on the back as if to show some kind of forgiveness, then released her.

“We’ll use my car next time,” he said.
