Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

The news caught Renee off guard, leaving her with no time to prepare. By the time she finished her work, the clock had almost struck five in the afternoon.

Renee pressed the elevator button, signaling her ascent to the thirty-eighth floor.

To her surprise, as the elevator doors glided open, Marcelo emerged in a wheelchair.

He seemed taken aback as Renee approached him willingly.

"Planning to join Harvillston?" he inquired.

Renee, momentarily shocked, had almost forgotten about it. "No, I came to ask if

you're attending a welcome party tonight."

Marcelo's tongue brushed against the back of his teeth, a clear sign of his displeasure with Renee's persistent refusal to join his company.

He desired to have Renee under his watchful eye all the time, the most comforting approach for him.

Renee approached Marcelo with her chin slightly lifted, her radiant face adorned with a subtle coquettish charm.

"I would like to attend Miss Lambert's welcome party as well. Would you mind having me as your companion?" she asked.

Luke was left speechless.

This didn't seem like Renee was going as a companion to a welcome party.

It felt more like she was going there for a confrontation.

At that moment, Marcelo's phone rang.

Renee glanced at the caller ID. It was Vivian.

The CEO's floor was quiet, and being in proximity, Renee could faintly hear Vivian's voice emanating from the phone.

"Marcelo, have you wrapped up your work? Will you come tonight?"

Her voice resonated with cheerfulness and sweetness, carrying the unique emotions of a young girl.

Renee observed Marcelo silently, her previously relaxed expression now stiffening, her smile fading.

Marcelo cast a glance at Renee and replied, "Yes."

Vivian continued happily, "I just returned to the country and don't have close friends here. Can you be my male companion tonight?"

"No,"Marcelo replied without hesitation. "I already have a female companion."

Renee couldn't hear Vivian's words clearly, but Marcelo's reply hinted at his rejection of being Vivian's male companion.

After Marcelo ended the call, Renee furrowed her brow and inquired, "You already have a female companion for tonight?"
