The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 114 Do You Miss Me

At this point, everything was absolutely clear by now.

Julian Shaw raised an eyebrow. He made a call right away and found someone to take over the follow-up course of action.

He hung up the call and turned around to get Susan Shelby just to discover that Susan had already run over to Chance Hamilton without his notice.

Julian pulled a long face at once.

He made his way to them in a few swift steps just in time to hear Susan said gratefully, "Thank you, Chance.”

Julian's expression darkened even more.

This woman! It was obviously him who solved the issue, so why was she thanking someone else?

"It’s okay. I didn’t help much actually." Chance scratched his head with a blushing face.

Susan shook her head. "Your trust in me is the biggest help to me." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Looking at Susan, Chance pursed his lips and suddenly said, "Susie, you and Chairman Shaw..."

Susan's face blushed at once. "It is what it is as you've seen."

Chance could not help feeling like saying something but he stopped himself before he could speak.

He had never heard that Julian was married. Thus, he assumed that the husband Susan mentioned was a lie and she was only dating Julian in secret.

Yet, it was not easy for her to be married into a family like the Shaw family.

Chance pondered on it for a long while before he said softly, "Susie, I heard that Madam Shaw values family status very much. You’re with Chairman Shaw and I'm worried about you...”

Chance continued to speak but Julian was already incapable of listening anymore.

He walked over right away and wrapped his arm around Susan’s waist with a calm expression. "You’re Chance, right? Thank you for your concern for my Susie."

CEO Shaw emphasized the word 'my' intentionally!

Chance immediately felt rather embarrassed." Chairman Shaw, I..."

"It’s okay. Thank you for taking care of my Susie today.” Julian said calmly, "You will receive triple the amount for your year-end bonus later.”

Chance was immediately stunned.

Lanyard Construction's remuneration was renowned i n the industry and the year-end bonus distributed every year was even more impressive.

Triple the bonus was enough for him to make a small fortune.

"Chairman...Chairman Shaw, there's really no need for that." Chance stuttered, "Susie is my good friend. I’m supposed to do that."

Julian patted Chance’s shoulder calmly. "Take it and consider that as a token of my personal gratitude to you."

Julian’s tone was beyond all doubt so Chance could only nod.

There was an ineffable feeling that arose in his heart indistinctly.

This so-called husband of Susan’s had never revealed himself at all in the past.

He was still under the hypocritical assumption that Susan had albeit rejected his proposal, it was only because they met each other too late in life.

He thought that Susan’s husband may not necessarily be better than him, only that the husband was acquainted with Susan earlier.

Yet now...

He found out that the person was actually Julian Shaw!

Chance felt weak all over.

The person was actually Julian.

He was the all-powerful legendary figure in the industry.

How should he compare to a person like that?

Even though he constantly stood by Susan's side during today's incident, he was utterly incapable of helping her in a real sense.

On the other hand, Julian settled the incident in just a few simple conversations as soon as he appeared.

He could not help but feel even more envious in his heart after recognizing the differences between his presence and Julian's.

He had no choice but to acknowledge that Susan's choice to be with Julian was a million times better than being with him even if Julian would never marry Susan.

Julian and Susan bid farewell to Chance. Chance suppressed the jealousy in his heart forcibly as he gazed after their departing silhouettes.

His straight back that forced himself to stand upright earlier became slightly hunched after these two people walked afar. 1

Yikes, he felt that he could now hold a memorial for his poor first love after this incident.

As soon as they walked outside, Susan shoved away Julian's arm then glared at him. "Why did you have to provoke Chance intentionally?"

Julian's arm had been wrapped around her waist since earlier without letting go.

"It's better for him to be completely heartbroken. I've only his best interests at heart," said Julian calmly.

Susan could not help rolling her eyes.

Julian acted righteously, but he was actually being narrow-minded!

However, she agreed with Julian’s remarks as well and that was why she acted in concert with Julian to show off their love.

"Julian." Susan considered and asked, "How are we going to handle the matter with Sheldon and Lily?"

At the thought of those two people, a cold glint flashed past Julian's gaze!

"Lily Chainwest will certainly be eliminated from the competition. Moreover, Lanyard Construction won't be hiring an employee like this either. I’ve already sent down my order to fire her immediately.” Julian said nonchalantly, "This has only grazed the surface. As soon as today’s incident is spread to

the outside world, Sheldon and Lily won't be able to survive in this profession. Moreover, Sheldon's in-laws are very powerful people. Perhaps, he will be in deep trouble with his family as soon as the news of his affair with Lily gets around.”

Julian talked about it casually.

However, Susan could totally imagine that the lives of these two people would not be good anymore from now on.

Susan did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for them.

This was because had it not been for Julian’s presence today, she would be the one trapped in the tragic situation!

"Why didn’t you tell me when you exposed Sheldon and Lily’s affair?" Julian looked at Susan.

"You've been so busy for the past few days that I don’t wish to add on to your burdens anymore. Moreover, I didn’t expect that these two people would be so treacherous either,” said Susan.

Julian suddenly stopped walking.

Susan stared at him in slight confusion.

Julian caressed her hair and said softly, "Susie, remember to tell me instantly regardless of what happens from now on.”

"I was afraid that I’d disturb you."

"You won’t.” Julian said softly, "There's nothing else more important to me than you. Thus, a call from you can never disturb me regardless of what I'm doing.”

Julian's expression was serious beyond comparison.

Susan's face blushes scarlet. She nodded after a long while and answered softly, "Hmm.”

Julian watched her with a gaze that grew deeper.

He wrapped his arm around Susan's shoulder and took her to a remote corner before he began kissing her lips wildly.

Susan was dumbstruck.

They were only a lane away from a bustling street now. What if someone were to pass by them suddenly?

Oh dear, Susan felt that she would be too embarrassed to live if that were to happen.

Susan shoved away Julian strenuously with her face flushing scarlet. "Don't... Don't fool around."

"Susie, did you miss me for the past few days?" Julian looked at her with a deep gaze.

"I didn't!" said Susan swiftly with her face as red as an apple, i

"You really didn't?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "It seems that I haven’t worked hard enough to earn it."

He assumed the poise and tried to kiss her once again.

Susan was startled so she hastily said, "Yes I do, yes I d o!"

Julian could not help chuckling upon seeing her panicked look. He lowered his head and gave her lips a soft peck. Then, he said with a slightly hoarse voice," Susie, let’s move back to our own place, shall we?"
