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

Chapter 104 Away On Business

In love, the only thing that Susan Shelby always wanted was wholeheartedness.

If Julian Shaw were to regret and even if he only hesitated about this relationship, then she would choose to leave without the slightest hesitation too.

She wanted his undivided love and she did not want him to swing left and right.

She had no idea if Julian could provide her with a relationship like this.

However, she still gave him her heart.

This was because she just could not lie to herself anymore and it was also because she wanted to occasionally place bets.

However, if Julian were to realize that he still loved that person in the end, then she would choose to leave regardless of the pain she was suffering from.

That would be her final pride.

Susan's expression was serious, Julian too.

He smiled and looked at Susan affectionately. "Susie, it's possible that you'll be encountering a surprise after some time."

She was such a silly little girl.

The so-called love rival did not exist at all.

She was the one and only person he loved from the start.

Anyhow, the pact they made was about to mature soon. He decided that he would let the woman continue to be bothered with the thought for some time.

"What surprise is that?" Susan pouted. "Stop diverting away from the conversation topic!"

Julian raised an eyebrow. "There’s no need for me to divert from the conversation topic at all. That is because the remarks you made earlier are entirely insignificant. Susan, if you ever find the courage to leave, I'll find the courage to leave with you too."

Susan was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.

This man was truly...

However, she could not help feeling at ease and convinced in her heart.

Susan's face was flushing ever so slightly. Then, she said in a slightly awkward manner, "I'm going to hang up now and get busy. Bye.”

"Wait, keep the video call running. I'm fine watching you just like this," said Julian.

"Alright then." Susan agreed.

She inhaled a few deep breaths and cleared her mind before she began to engage fully in drawing the sketches.

Julian could not help feeling dejected as he saw Susan settle down rapidly.

This damned woman, could it be that he was so unattractive?

Could it be that the damned sketches were more attractive than him?

Julian found himself in a state of abomination as he saw Susan's attentiveness.

"Chairman Shaw, the itinerary for today has already been set. You'll be meeting the chairman of West Corporation in half an hour. Then, you’ll be heading to the new garden project for supervision. You'll be having dinner with the chairman of Meridian Corporation at six. On the other hand, the discussion o n the contract in Skyking City is almost done. We need you to head over there for the final deal, Chairman Shaw. The private jet will be taking off at eight which is set to arrive in Skyking City at about twelve. The next morning, you'll be attending an important meeting at eight.” The secretary walked into the room with the most updated itinerary. 1

"Oh, communication with the people in Skyking City i s already done?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. The contract has reached its last phase so we will need your presence to make the final confirmation, Chairman Shaw," said the secretary.

"Noted." Julian took on the task. He felt even more troubled as he gazed at Susan who was still bustling

about.

His business trip would last a week at the very least. They would not be meeting each other next week so h e did not understand how this woman could be unresponsive.

"Chairman Shaw, I shall return to my desk first,” said the secretary as she was about to leave.

"Hold on," called out Julian. Then, he proposed a serious question. "Do you think...I'm handsome?"

"Huh?" What sort of question was that?

The secretary tensed up at once.

She wondered if this was a simple question or a trap question?

She inhaled a deep breath and then answered in an extremely sincere manner, "Chairman Shaw, you’re very handsome of course?"

"Really? How handsome am I?" Julian had a serious expression.

The secretary's gaze grew even more sincere. "You’re simply so handsome that you’re flawless."

"Oh." Julian nodded in content then he raised an eyebrow. "I think so too."

The secretary said, "...So, is there anything else, Chairman Shaw?"

"No. You can return to your desk." Julian waved his huge hand once.

The secretary felt relieved.

Nuisance. She was almost under the assumption that Chairman Shaw wanted to confess his feelings for her.

She still wondered if she should say yes if Chairman Shaw were to truly confess his love for her. She had a boyfriend already after all.

Yet, a man like Chairman Shaw was genuinely irresistible. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Fortunately, it was only a false alarm.

However, she wondered why she still felt rather sad in her heart.

Oblivious to the thoughts in the secretary’s mind, Julian raised an eyebrow to the video call. "Did you hear that? Someone admired my good looks! If you don't guard me properly, I might end up being abducted one day."

Susan placed down the drawing pen in her hand and was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. "You're going away on business?"

"You heard that?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "It's a rather important project in which the discussion for the earlier phase is almost done already. I'll have to end it."

"So you're not coming over at night?" asked Susan. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Why does it seem like you anticipate me not returning at night?" Julian’s eyes narrowed in a

dangerous manner.

"Cough cough, not really." Susan shook her head repeatedly.

Julian grunted coldly once. "I’m going to meet a client first and I'll be back to deal with you later."

Julian hung up the video call while Susan blinked innocently before she continued to bustle about.

Julian was bustling about outside for the rest of the time and could not find time to harass Susan anymore.

Susan still felt rather joyous in the beginning because she could finally devote all her attention to her work.

It was night time when Susan began to feel that she was unaccustomed to being alone in the empty room.

She drew the sketches for a while, then she placed down the pen.

Getting used to someone’s presence was a really terrifying thing.

It had only been a short while yet she was actually missing Julian's mischievousness.

It was only that they might not be seeing each other next week.

Susan could not help biting her lower lip.

'Forget it.' Since she could not focus enough to draw the sketch, she might as well go and take a shower anyhow.

Susan showered and was about to put on clothes when the door of the bathroom was suddenly opened.

Susan turned her head to the side in surprise and saw that Julian was looking at her with a spurious smile.

"You're... Why are you back!” Susan reached for the bath towel subconsciously to cover her vital parts.

Julian's gaze grew deeper and deeper while following her actions. The corners of his lips curled up ever so slightly. "What's there to cover anyway? It's not like I've never seen it."

"You..." Susan could not help feeling embarrassed. "Go out first, I need to get dressed!"

"You're going to remove it in a while after you get dressed. Why bother?" A look of evilness seeped out from Julian's gaze.

‘Remove it after you get dressed...'

'Can this man not be so perverted!'

Susan blushed and she was about to speak when Julian had already made his way to her and scooped her up in his arms.

"Hey, let go of me. I still haven’t dried myself," Susan called out in a panic.

"I'll help dry you," said Julian in a deep voice.

He dried and dried her and the following event developed in a direction beyond their control naturally.

After a long time, Susan laid on the bed and felt so tired that she could not even move a finger.

"Julian, do you have to be such a brute?” Susan sighed in a slightly embarrassed and furious manner.
