Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Renee's sarcastic smile made Marcelo uncomfortable.

"She wants to work for Harvillston?"His frown deepened. He hadn't heard anything about Vivian wanting to work for Harvillston.

There was no sign of rejection in Marcelo's expression, as perceived by Renee.

It seemed he probably would agree if Vivian brought it up.

Renee's assumption wasn't exactly groundless; after all, Harvillston really was the best choice in the country, so it would be no surprise if Vivian wanted to work there.

Back when Alyssa took on the STAR jewelry endorsement, Renee couldn't stand to work with the toxic women in Marcelo's company. It did more harm than good to her work flow.

Naturally, she didn't want this to happen again.

Drumming his fingers on the leather arm rest, Marcelo attempted to steer the topic back to his point.

He announced, "From now on, you're not allowed to call Howard."

"Mr. King, are you seriously going to stop me from contacting my former schoolmate now?" Whenever Renee was angry, she knew how to piss him off. "I don't bat an eyelash when you go out and drink with Vivian, or send her flowers, or offer her your clothes. So, what does my business have to do with you?"

What 'business' did they have with each other? He was her husband for crying out loud!

Marcelo was now sure that Renee had seen him at the bar the other day

She had seen him, but again she had pretended not to know him.

But why? Was he so unworthy in her eyes? Or was it not worth her time to spare a moment to say hello to him?

"Do you really think that the matter between you and Howard is the same as the matter between me and Vivian?" he hissed.

It was obvious that Howard had been crushing on Renee for many years!A huge crush!And he was much smarter than Damian!

"Oh, of course not, Mr. King! Those are two very different matters!" Renee answered, her voice dripping with

sarcasm.

She and Howard were schoolmates, whereas Vivian and Marcelo had grown up together. How could they be the same?

Of course they were different!

"Stop being so sarcastic with me, Renee."Marcelo held her chin and forced her to look up at him.
