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

Chapter 117 The Man Behind Her

Susan Shelby ran all the way until she reached her office.

She only exhaled a breath of relief when she took a seat at her table.

"Susie, you're back to work huh?" asked Chance Hamilton in surprise.

"That’s right," answered Susan smilingly.

She felt rather gratified in her heart as she looked at Chance.

Chance looked different than before. The enthusiasm i n his gaze seemed to have weakened judging from the way he looked at him.

She speculated that he was truly exonerated this time.

Chance looked left and right before he lowered his voice to speak, "Do you know about the current situation with Lily and Sheldon?"

Susan was stunned for a moment before she answered truthfully, "Not really, I didn't follow the story any more after that."

"I knew you wouldn’t follow the story.” Chance chuckled and said, "The follow-up story is even more exciting. After you left with Chairman Shaw the other day, Sheldon and Lily wrestled endlessly. Afterward, Lily pulled down Sheldon’s shorts while he broke

Lily's nose." "Huh?" Susan was shocked. "Her nose was broken?"

"That's right." Chance assumed a schadenfreude expression. "Her newly-fixed nose was smashed."

Susan could not help chuckling upon imagining the scene on that day.

"What do you think happened when Lily came to the company to pick up her belongings yesterday?" asked Chance in a feigned mysterious manner.

"What happened?" Susan’s interest was piqued.

"Sheldon's wife heard from somewhere that Lily was coming to the company today. She charged into the office and beat up Lily.” Chance described the situation animatedly, “Sheldon's wife is 1.8 meters tall with a muscular build. She seized Lily like she was capturing a chick. Lily could still resist in the beginning, but she lost the courage to move later on. Sheldon’s wife was still discontented after beating up Lily so she scolded Lily for being a b*tch while trying t o strip her of her clothes. Afterward, the scene was truly too obscene for me to describe. The security came to stop them and found that Lily was fully naked."

She was fully naked!

Susan’s eyes lit up at once.

Oh oh oh, what an exciting scene. She suddenly regretted not coming to work yesterday.

Chance laughed and said, "Speaking of which, the company generally doesn't let outsiders in. Even if Sheldon’s wife made her way into the company, she was supposed to be asked to leave immediately too. However, security came late this time. I feel that this might be Chairman Shaw's intention to teach Lily a lesson. Susie, Chairman Shaw is always trying to avenge you!"

"It's possible that security didn’t discover the situation at once," said Susan softly with a blushing face.

"B*llsh*t. Lanyard Construction's security is famous for being dutiful." Chance could not refrain himself from rolling his eyes.

Susan could only let out two coughs awkwardly.

"Oh, Susie, you're back at work? Where have you been for the past few days?" Her colleagues arrived at work i n succession. They greeted Susan warmly upon noticing her.

Susan smiled and replied, "I had some family affairs that I need to attend to. Now that the affairs are managed, I'm back."

"You’re not telling the truth." A colleague said smilingly, "We’ve all seen the news. You went to take part in the design competition secretly, right? It's said that Lily has been eliminated from the competition for plagiarizing your work.”

"Not bad. I've seen Susie's work. It’s impressive! No wonder Lily couldn't refrain herself from plagiarizing."

''Tsk tsk tsk, speaking of which, we may know Sheldon Parsons' exterior but not his heart. He has such a fine reputation in the design industry. I didn't expect him to actually be this kind of person in his private life. Had it not been for the organizer's meticulous investigation, your work would have been plagiarized by the joint effort of those two people, Susie."

The group of people discussed it in a heated conversation while Susan had only listened to the conversation smilingly.

She listened to the broad outline and found that the majority of the news reported in the newspapers was the truth, only that Julian's presence was concealed along with her relationship with Julian.

"All in all, only you and Chance in the top 30 of the competition from Lanyard Construction. Either one of you better come back with the first place regardless," said the bustling crowd.

"I don't put high hopes in myself, but I think Susie can," said Chance with a smile.

He was not trying to flatter her.

Even though Susan was late in entering the industry, she was gifted in the art of designing, which was a rare quality amongst ordinary people. The gift allowed her work to display her strong personal style.

On the other hand, the personal style was precisely the prerequisite in becoming a master of the industry.

"All in all, best of luck to both of you."

Everyone chatted in a bustling crowd. Susan darted a look and found that her email notification was blinking.

She could not help clicking it.

'Susan Shelby! Just wait and see what I’ll do to you in the afternoon!!!!’

There were so many exclamation marks!

Susan felt as if she could hear Julian's raging roar.

A guilty look flashed past her eyes. Then, she replied, 'I ... I really need a quiet working environment! You're CEO Shaw. You're so handsome, you’re so bright, and you're like the brightest star to me. If people find out that you and I are in a relationship, people are going to be so jealous that they’d hate me to death!’

CEO Shaw felt rather content with himself after reading Susan's email. He grunted coldly and replied,' Who has the courage to be jealous of you in my presence?'

Susan let out a cough and replied, 'This is not beneficial for the harmonious relationship in the office. Basically, don't ever expose our relationship, alright? Please please please.'

Emoticons could not be sent over their work emails. Otherwise, Susan would’ve certainly added in a pleading face emoticon.

'So are you making me the man behind you?' Julian sounded resentful.

Susan puffed up her chest. 'What's wrong with being one for a while? I thought we signed a prenup when w e got married. It was you who asked for a hidden marriage in the past. The prenup has already been signed so you can't take it back now either. If you stir u p trouble again, I’m going to block your credit card.’ 2

Julian was speechless.

He wondered if he could beat this woman to death?

'I’m going to work now. Remember not to expose our relationship." Susan typed swiftly.

Julian stared at the mailbox for a long time.

After a long while, he scoffed.

Hidden marriage, huh!

Sure, he could agree to that.

However, did she think that this would render him helpless?

Susan was still too naive.

There was no report about their relationship in the newspaper so the only person who knew about them i n the company was Chance.

Susan trusted Chance not to tell others about this matter to which Chance agreed naturally.

Susan had just returned to her job. She only

completed changing her signature when an old client placed an order.

Susan began bustling about without stopping.

By noon, Susan and a few other colleagues went to lunch together.

They stood in line waiting to get takeout.

"The dishes served today are all pretty good. They have my favorite lamb chop," said a colleague joyously.

"I still prefer the stewed pork," said the other person.

Chance stretched his neck to look at the dishes before he asked Susan, "Susie, what are you having?" Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Susan was about to answer when a surprised gasp was heard coming from the front of the line suddenly.

"Oh dear, is that Chairman Shaw?"

Chairman Shaw?

The feeling of an ominous presentiment came knocking on Susan’s heart.

She looked to the door to see Julian walking over expressionlessly with a lunch tray in his hands.
