In a spacious car park located on the hillside.
The people from Jenkins Corporation had already arrived. Luke Jenkins waited for the rest calmly.
Charlotte Jenkins was looking into the distance from the side while checking her watch as if she was extremely anxious.
All of a sudden, Charlotte beamed with joy. She could not help calling aloud, "They’re here, they’re here. The people from Lanyard Construction are here." 1
Luke raised an eyebrow and stood up.
A few chartered vehicles stopped steadily.
The door of the frontmost chartered vehicle was opened. Julian Shaw took the lead to get down from the car.
Charlotte could not refrain anymore such that she wanted to run to him.
Yet, Julian reached out to the inside of the car.
Someone else was inside the car?
An ineffable feeling flooded Charlotte’s heart abruptly.
In the next moment, Susan Shelby appeared before the crowd with an embarrassed expression.
Luke's pupils suddenly constricted.
Susan's hair was in a mess and her face was flushing scarlet at the moment. Her lips were swollen in an abnormal way. 3
Her appearance was simply a declaration of what happened between them in the car.
Luke felt as if his heart was grasped tightly by a pair o f hands.
He suddenly felt like he was suffocating.
Susan did not belong to him anymore.
She was married to Julian now.
He had always known this. He was also under the assumption that he was mentally prepared for this already.
Yet, his mind went blank instantaneously upon witnessing the scene in real life.
Luke had no idea how much determination he had to exert in order to control the expression on his face.
He looked at Julian calmly. "Mr. Shaw, you're late."
Julian took a glance at his watch. "I’m not late. The appointed time is nine and it's nine now. You're early, Mr. Luke. It’s not always good to be early - sometimes being there at the right time is the best."
Julian’s statement seemed to contain some hidden meaning behind it.
Luke narrowed his eyes and raised an eyebrow
nonchalantly. "Mr. Shaw's words are truly philosophical. Let's go and take a look at the selected site."
"Sure," Julian answered then joined Luke to walk over first.
The rest of the people followed suit as well.
Susan seized the opportunity to return to her colleagues from the design department naturally.
"Hey, Susie..." Susie had just returned when one of her colleagues approached her. "Did something ineffable happen in the car with you and Chairman Shaw?"
"What are you thinking! That's indecent!" said Susan righteously.
"I'm indecent? Here, allow me to lend you a mirror?” The colleague passed her a mirror.
Susan took a glance, then she had a mental breakdown.
M*th*rf*ck*r. 2
Her hair was a mess and her face was flushing like a promiscuous girl. Even she felt that something ineffable must have happened between them.
She was incapable of seeing how she looked, yet Julian could!
The b*st*rd definitely did it on purpose.
Susan was especially sad and resentful at this very moment.
