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

Chapter 119 Not a Suitable Match

Susan did not even know how she got through the entire meal.

CEO Shaw watched as she ate her meal.

The colleagues who were sitting across from them were as stiff as boards.

The others looked at them in fright.

At last, CEO Shaw put down his fork and spoon. "I'm leaving now. Enjoy your meal."

When Susan heard that, she finally felt relieved.

After CEO Shaw left, the cafeteria which was utterly silent just now became chaotic and noisy all of a sudden.

"Oh gosh! What happened just now? Why did CEO Shaw come to the cafeteria and have his meal here all of a sudden?"

"To observe his subordinates?"

"I wonder whether pigs might fly after this."

The colleagues who were sitting with Susan finally recovered their wits.

They soon turned to look at Susan.

"Why are you looking at me..." Susan asked them rather guiltily.

"Susie!" One of the colleagues beside her exclaimed, " Tell me frankly. What is the relationship between you and CEO Shaw? Why did CEO Shaw sit beside you all o f a sudden? He even served you food."

Susan coughed. "Me and CEO Shaw? I'm just one of his subordinates."

"Liar!” Another colleague stared at her intensely. "I've been working here for around three to four years now. This was the first time I've seen CEO Shaw come to the cafeteria and eat his meal!"

"That’s true, and it's clear that he purposely came for you."

"Susie! What is your relationship with CEO Shaw? Tell us the truth now."

"No, it’s nothing like that," Susan denied it immediately. "It was just a coincidence."

"I don’t believe that." The colleague glared at her.

Susan coughed again. Then, she looked at them sincerely. "In fact, CEO Shaw is secretly married. I’m his wife, the rumored Mrs. Shaw!"

They were quiet for a short while.

Then, somebody whispered, "Susie, if you want to lie about it, just make a better lie than this! If CEO Shaw i s going to marry, it'd certainly be the biggest event in all of Ningcheng City. How come we were unaware of i t?"

"Moreover, we know what kind of temper Madam Shaw has since we work for Lanyard Construction. Rumor has it that she's a strong and independent woman, both in her work and daily life. If she wants to look for a daughter-in-law, she'll definitely look for a talented and exceptional woman who comes from an influential and powerful family. Moreover, she must b e excellent in various fields."

“That's true. According to Madam Shaw's taste, I'm afraid that she wouldn't even accept a princess."

"I agree with what you said. Susie, it's not that I want t o condemn you, but you’re really unsuited for CEO Shaw."

They started to have a heated discussion about that.

Susan blinked her eyes several times. Suddenly, she interrupted them as she was slightly annoyed, "Hey, d o you have to be like that? I'm not that bad, am I? How come I'm unsuited for CEO Shaw? I think that I'm rather good."

They soon booed at what Susan said.

"Susie, I’m not trying to put you down here. You're indeed rather good. But you’re still a long way behind Madam Shaw’s expectations if you want to be her daughter-in-law,” one of them said.

"Yes. You're still not good enough for her."

Susan became extremely upset.

But she could not help but admit that.

If Madam Shaw was not superstitious, she would never be frightened by that deceitful great master, and Susan would never be able to marry Julian.

She knew the truth, but she was still upset when she heard others claim that she was unsuited for Julian.

"By the way, Susie. You haven’t told us why CEO Shaw sat beside you just now." After their discussion, one of them asked her again all of a sudden.

"I told you the truth, but you didn’t believe it." Susan pouted her lips.

However, she said so intentionally so that no one would believe her.

But the others indeed disbelieved her explanation.

Moreover, she realized that she was slightly upset about it.

"Don't try to fool us." A colleague gave her a sidelong glance.

"Then, you tell me. What was his reason for doing that?" Susan was helpless. She threw the question back to them.

“About that...How about this? Is it possible that CEO Shaw...went crazy all of a sudden?" 1

"If not, he just wanted to observe his subordinates!"

"It's impossible for him to go after Susie. It’s not possible since Susie is married. Moreover, all of CEO Shaw's ex-girlfriends have attractive body figures.

They are nothing like Susie.” "Or, was it just a coincidence?"

They continued their discussion in a heated manner. 0 n the other hand, the person involved - Susie - could only lower her head and drink the water.

They then returned to the office.

Susan took out her phone and sent a message to Julian in resentment.

"I heard that you like women with attractive body figures. Is that so?"

Julian saw the message and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Is there any problem with it?"

Susan almost exploded with her wrath after she saw his reply.

"Then you should really go and find your attractive girlfriends."

Julian deepened his smile.

It seemed that Susan was jealous of those girls.

He replied calmly, "I have high expectations of my other half. Other than an attractive body figure, she needs to come from a prestigious family too. She needs to have a good temperament and elegance.

Besides, she needs to have the same hobbies as me too. It's better if she's an expert in red wines. By the way, I love horseback riding. She better be able to keep up with my pace." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Julian wrote a long list of criteria.

Susan drew in a few deep breaths.

She put her fingers on the screen of the phone.

"Julian, go straight to hell!"

After she sent that message, she received another message from Julian swiftly.

"But these criteria have nothing to do with you. I only want you with me, and that’s more than enough.”

Susan's finger was still on the phone screen, and she broke into a smile inevitably.

She sneered. 'Look at how fast he responds!’

Her mood became so much better now. She kept her phone happily.

After that, she switched on the computer.

She realized that the others were still talking about the incident where Julian went to the cafeteria all of a sudden in the gossipy group chat.

One of the colleagues made a joke and said, “Susan claimed the truth was that CEO Shaw came for her purposely. She's actually Mrs. Shaw."

Then, Susan looked at them intently as they started teasing her again.

Later, they started to discuss the kind of women who were suitable for Julian unknowingly. They talked about what kind of women the Shaws would accept.

Susan was rather interested in that, so she took a look.

Some of them claimed that only celebrities and supermodels were suitable for Julian.

Others claimed that only young ladies from prestigious families were suitable for Julian. They had rather a heated discussion.

Susan saw that they had brought up Cheryl and Charlotte’s names now.

Both of their supporters were debating with each other now.

"Don’t a lot of celebrities marry rich people now?

Cheryl is a great star. Moreover, she seemed to have a fling with CEO Shaw before. It's not impossible for her to be married into the Shaws."

"I don't think so. CEO Shaw might really marry her, but you know how Madam Shaw is. Cheryl has a messy personal life. Certainly, Madam Shaw will not agree to her marrying into the Shaws."

"I feel that the young lady from the Jenkins family has a higher chance of marrying CEO Shaw. There are only a few prestigious rich families. Charlotte is the only one who in the same age range

as CEO Shaw among those families. For them, they usually go with arranged marriages. A while back, the Jenkins had an arranged marriage with the Ainsleys. Now, the Jenkins and the Shaws may have an arranged marriage too."

"It all comes down to CEO Shaw's preferences. I still think that Cheryl has a higher chance at that."

They indeed discussed the topic amongst themselves excitedly.

Susan was very upset now.

Suddenly, she realized that she did not have to force herself to go with a secret marriage in the first place.

It was because nobody would ever believe what she said.
