The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 140

Julian shot the secretary a flat stare, causing her to reply in a flustered manner, "I—I’m sorry, Mr. Shaw. I knocked on the door twice just now, maybe you didn’t hear it. I... I... I'll go out now!"

Just when the secretary turned around and attempted to leave, Julian called out to her, "Bold on. What kind o f document is that? Bring it to me."

"Yes, sir," the secretary bit the bullet and handed the document to Julian.

As if nothing had happened, Julian flipped through the document and then signed his name on it. Then, h e handed the document back to the secretary, "Okay, done."

"Thank you," the secretary took over the document in a kind of hypnotic trance. Then, she left immediately a s she did not wish to stay in the office for even a minute longer.

The secretary patted her chest after he closed the door.

"What happened? What did you see?" Everyone in the secretary office gathered around the secretary.

The secretary had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Then, she pointed at her colleagues and upbraided them, "How... How dare you guys set me u p?! What did I miss while I was in the restroom? What i

s Susan doing in Mr. Shaw’s office?"

It was only now that she saw the light, specifically why all of them wanted her to send the document to Julian. She failed to see through their motives and fell into their trap.

"Don’t mind that, just tell us what you saw!" The crowd looked at the secretary expectantly.

"Well..." The secretary said, dragging out the word " well" for an exaggerated second.

Then, a triumphant grin crossed her face as she said," Go and look for yourself if you dare!"

Then, she successfully saw that the light in the eyes of the crowd dimmed.

'Hmph! Serves you right! Don't think that you can get anything from me after setting me up! By the way, I didn't expect Mr. Shaw to be this wild in front of his lover.’

Inside the office, Susan was on the verge of breaking down. She was confident that rumors about her and Julian must be flying around amongst the colleagues. Right now, she just wanted to kill herself.

"Let me go, Julian! I need to go back to work," Susan barked.

"Sure," Julian nodded matter-of-factly.

"Really?" Susan's eyes gleamed.

"If you think you can handle their gazes alone, sure, go ahead,” Julian said as he pointed at the door.

"Of course I can handle it. This is nothing for me,” Susan replied confidently, determination filled her eyes. 1

"Okay,” Julian raised his brows as he watched Susan walk to the door. She placed her hand on the handle, and then...

She suddenly turned around, her face pulled long as she pouted her mouth and said, "I'm sorry. I don't think I can do it."

Even though she was aware she was just merely delaying the inevitable, she still did not have the guts t o face it today.

"This is all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such an awkward situation," Susan complained poutingly.

"Susie," Julian’s voice suddenly turned gentle, "I still can't forget everything that happened in the cave yesterday. I don't wish that to happen again, so I swore to myself to never let you stay out of my sight ever again, not even for one second.” 3

Susan’s face blushed once more after hearing what Julian said. She did not know where Julian learned to be this flirtatious.

Julian was tickled pink by Susan's reaction. He chuckled and said, "Come over here. Sit next to me."

Since she could not go out now, Susan walked over to

Julian obediently.

"This is the latest international design information," said Julian as he pulled out a file from the table, putting it in front of Susan. "You can have a look at them while you're here."

"Oh my, where did you get these from?" Susan asked a s she flitted through the file.
