Chapter 38 Come, Let's Hurt Each Other
The next day, Mama Jean woke up early to make breakfast. When she walked across the bedroom door, she heard an awkward conversation.
"It's not going to be painful. I'll be gentle.”
"Just relax."
"Don't move. Turning back will affect my performance."
Mama Jean coughed and left quietly.
'The CEO's wife looks usually elegant. I never thought she could be quite open sometimes...Ahem.'
"Okay, done."
In the room, Susan looked at her masterpiece and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Julian looked at the drawn tortoise on the back of his hand and then immediately turned to look for a glove.
"Hey, hey, hey! We agreed that you can't hide it for a day. If you wear a glove, you’re a sore loser." Susan quickly stopped him.
"You..." He glared at her angrily.
Julian’s glance made Susan’s smile fade and she said carefully, "Wear it if you want to. I-I was just saying..."
She could not help feeling annoyed. She somehow disregarded the level of authority. 'Is Julian someone who I can joke with? Susan Shelby, remember to take him as a leader, a superior, but you can never really take him as a husband!’
Julian looked at Susan's confused expression and his eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness. Was he that frightening? He threw the gloves aside. "I won't wear them since I lost."
Susan's eyes lit up again instantly. "Will you really have this little tortoise on show for the whole day?"
Julian sulked. "Do you think I'm a sore loser like you?"
"Chairman Shaw is powerful and domineering!" Susan buttered up to him. She started looking forward to the reaction of her colleagues when they saw the tortoise. I t was going to be exciting!
At Lanyard Construction, Julian said calmly, "I’ve signed everything. Is there any more?"
"No...no more." His secretary was startled as she kept glancing at the little tortoise behind Julian’s hand.
The tortoise actually looked cute, but CEO Shaw and cute things...
She felt that the world seemed to be secretly illusory without her even realizing it.
"Do you still have anything for me?" Julian looked at her expectantly.
"No...nothing!" She took the documents and left as if she was running away.
Julian looked at the back of his own hand helplessly.
[Hot news, hot news! The big boss has found his childhood. There's a little tortoise behind the back of his hand today!]
The company's gossip chat group kept flashing. The group consisted of the female staff who liked to gossip as well as a few men. Previously, the group would always be split into those who agreed with a certain opinion and those who opposed it. However, today they were more united.
[Impossible!]
[You're lying.]
[It’s not even April’s Fools today. It's not funny at all.]
[I’m telling the truth.] The secretary became nervous. [ It's on the big boss's hand. Everyone can have a look a tit.]
[Okay, let's see since I'm sending the documents over.]
[Quickly go and debunk this lie!] Many cheered on.
Susan saw this group of people chatting and smiled.
After a while, the person who sent the documents over came back. She sent a surprised emoji. [It's true!
There's really a little tortoise on the back of the boss's hand.] [Really?]
[I still don’t believe it.]
[Wait, I'm going there to report about my work!]
After a few minutes, another surprised individual reported back with the truth.
Given that three people had consecutively said the same thing, this incident could not have been otherwise. They were curious and wondered who could have drawn a little tortoise on the back of the boss's hand!
Therefore, it was tragic for Julian.
When he went around supervising work, more than ten people followed behind him sneakily.
When he went to the toilet, there was a whole group of people at the door acting as if nothing had happened.
Julian sulked and thought that if it would have been better if he just stayed in his office.
As a result, documents were sent one after another. Those documents could have actually been sent on a single trip, but they split it into eight different trips!
Julian felt he must have been too lenient to the employees, hence their behavior. In order to stop this maddening phenomenon, he took a close-up photo of his hand and shared it in the company's chat group with the caption, [Have you seen enough?]
There was utter silence in the group.
A few seconds later, a whole bunch of messages rushed in.
[CEO, you've got such a child-like innocence.]
[The little tortoise is really cute.]
[Chairman Shaw is really Chairman Shaw. The little tortoise looks so domineering on your hand.]
Julian looked at the nonsense that flooded his phone and immediately muted the group. Then, he messaged Susan via WeChat.
[Woman, don't tell me you're laughing now!] Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Susan was enjoying the show, and when she received the message, she instantly straightened her back and returned to her seat. [No!]
[It’d better be true. We are going to continue tonight.] Julian replied with a cunning emoji.
Susan's expression changed instantly. She was well aware of how she had won. If they were to play again...
Susan pursed her lips. [Chairman Shaw, I'm wrong! I'm really wrong. I feel that to perform better at work, w e should rest earlier tonight.]
[Hahaha!] Julian replied.
It was a tragic night for Susan. They played 24 Game for the entire night, but this time, Julian went all out against her.
Based on their earlier agreement, she went to the office in an afro wig the next day, attracting the concern of her colleagues.
"Susan, is your brain okay?”
"Susan, what happened to make you so affected?"
“Susan, did you and your husband get a divorce?"
Under the barrage of everyone’s concern, Susan wrapped up the perfect day.
On another night, Julian and Susan occupied one end of the bed each with their eyes interlocked. There seemed to be flying sparks in their interlocked gaze.
Julian smiled first. “Are we going to battle it out today?"
Susan's face was fearless. "My battle array will never lose even if my army did. Do you think I'm afraid?"
'Oh? Good character strength.' He raised his eyebrows.
"I’ll admit to you," Susan said thunderously, "I'm actually afraid! Only an idiot will continue this battle with you!"
Julian was speechless.
She stole a glance at him. Upon seeing that he had no intention to refuse, she let out a sigh of relief. If this game continued, she would be the laughing stock of the company!
"Chairman Shaw, let's rest earlier today.” Susan nestled in the blanket as she looked at him coyly.
Julian raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang, so she quickly answered it.
