NovelUSAChapter 409: You'll Start to Enjoy It Marissa faced him fully, yet Connor played with her, watching her attempt to please him. He snorted, brushed off his neat clothes, and dismissed her.
Marissa silently cursed him, yet quickly masked it with a smile. "Mr. Daniels, what would you liketo do?" Connor looked out of the car window and responded, "I'm not so easily pleased." Worried she might give up, he continued, “Just so you know, there's nothing important in the Peridot Consortium building. It's just an office. Even if you manage to get inside, it'll be pointless." Connor understood her tendencies well. In the past, he had often sought to make her happy. She had never been one to humble herself for his amusement. Thus, he relished the opportunity to dangle the secret before her.
Marissa's anger flared as she observed his smugness, and she clenched her teeth, imagining confronting him physically.

She could uncover it herself eventually, but that would take time. Since Connor was well-acquainted with their secret, it was simpler to have him disclose it.
Thus, Marissa curbed her anger and softened her tone, "Okay. I'll do as you say. I'll stop my pretend relationship with Xander." Her concession made Connor turn back to face her. He set another stipulation. "And you are not to see him either." Marissa felt a surge of fury but suppressed it quickly. She responded with a bright smile, "Okay." She would avoid meeting Xander as Connor had forbidden. After all, her initial plan was just to use Xander to gain entry to the Peridot Consortium. Now that she no longer needed that access, not meeting him wouldn't affect her strategy.
Connor appeared satisfied at last. He leaned in and pecked her on the lips. "Good girl." Marissa frowned at him. "Mr. Daniels, please respect yourself. Stop kissing me. We're supposed to be a fake couple. It's inappropriate." "We've kissed before, haven't we? What's the problem now?" Connor brushed off her objection.
"We did kiss before, but that doesn't mean we can do so whenever now," Marissa replied sharply. Furthermore, he had stolen those kisses when she least expected it.
Did it mean she would have to endure it indefinitely just because she had been kissed by him before? However, Connor disregarded her protests, pulling her closer with a grin. "You'll start to enjoy it if we kiss more often. You might even miss it if I stopped." Marissa shoved him away firmly. "Are you going to reveal the secret or not?" "Not in the mood to discuss that now," Connor retorted, still playing games. "I'll tell you when I feel like it." "Letout," Marissa glared at him fiercely. "Senda message when you're ready to talk. I'll listen to the secret then." Connor glanced at her and inquired casually, "Where do you plan to go?" "I'm going back to the Sanchez family's place to be with Tiffany's kids," Marissa answered.
"No, I can't let you leave," Connor declared.
"Why not?" Marissa looked at him, puzzled. "Where are you taking me?" "I have a pressing matter that demands my attention at the company this afternoon. You're coming with me," he said.
"To Daniels Group?" Marissa immediately objected. “No, I don't want to go." She wasn't truly his wife and had no desire to parade around his company.

Yet, Connor asserted dominantly, "You have to come. For the next few days, you'll go wherever I go. I need to keep an eye on you." "Why?" Marissa challenged, her voice rising.
Connor smirked coldly. "You're quite the liar. How can I be sure you won't I meet Xander behind my back?" Marissa was on the verge of losing her temper when her phone buzzed.
She glanced down to read the message. It was from Joziah:
"Boss, this afternoon, I'll be taking our technical team for a meeting atm Daniels Group: Is Group: We'll discuss potential collaboration with Connor Daniels.
Any instructions?"
