The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 142

Susan walked out directly and smiled as she walked toward them. "Excuse me, I need to wash my hands.”

Her two female colleagues were touching up their makeup. They were stunned the minute they saw Susan from the reflection of the mirror.

They quickly stepped aside when they heard Susan.

Susan washed her hands calmly and dried them.

"Susie...Just now, we..." one of the female colleagues said rather awkwardly.

Susan raised her eyebrows. "It's not a big deal. I'm sure you're not the only ones who have such thoughts."

"This..." The female colleague became much more embarrassed now.

"But I'm curious," Susan said calmly. "Before everyone knew that I was Mrs. Shaw, did I have a chance to be promoted to be the assistant director?"

The female colleagues remained quiet.

Susan was a young designer in Lanyard Construction. She got ahead of the others and her achievements surpassed everyone else's for several months. Her professional skills were indeed exceptional too.

For example, Susan and Chance were the only ones from Lanyard Construction who won the qualification for the next round in the design competition after Lily left. 1

Susan was also the head designer for the resort project this time around.

In fact, no one was able to compete with Susan for the assistant director post.

Susan spoke no more when she realized that they had stopped talking. She only nodded and left calmly.

The minute she left, both of the female colleagues looked at each other and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Who expected to see Susan right there in the washroom? Luckily, she did not plan to blame them for it.

It was only a trivial accident in the washroom.

However, Susan was still slightly annoyed.

She felt that being Mrs. Shaw was both glory and a hindrance for her.

Now, she needed to be exceptional if she wanted to get anything. Otherwise, the others would guess that Julian was the one helping her along secretly and let her win the competition unfairly.

"Susan, come on!" Susan clenched her fists and encouraged herself. 1

She would be the head designer for the resort project. So she wanted to do it perfectly to stop anybody from condemning her.

Fortunately, she gained inspiration when she saw the mural previously. She was indeed confident in that project.

Hence, Susan focused all of her attention on her work. Julian was rather sad to see her acting like a workaholic now.

That day, Susan was still burning the midnight oil, drawing the design.

Julian walked toward her and pushed her laptop away calmly.

"What's wrong? I've come to the most important part o f my drawing!" Susan looked at him in confusion.

"Let's take a break for a short while." Julian took out a n invitation card and put it before her. "It's Old Master Leeds' birthday tomorrow. We need to attend the birthday party tomorrow night."

"Old Master Leeds?" Susan blinked her eyes. "Is he Seth’s grandfather?"

"Yes." Julian nodded. "Leeds has gone down the hill slightly these past few years. But in Old Master Leeds' time, Leeds was undoubtedly the most renowned and influential family."

"Is that so?" Susan became rather interested. "Was he that powerful?"

Julian nodded. He appeared to admire Old Master Leeds' strong capabilities. "Old Master Leeds was indeed one of a kind. His capabilities were undoubtedly exceptional. However, the leader from the next generation from his family did not manage to lead the large Leeds Corporation well when it was passed down to him. After around more than ten years now, Leeds did not manage to be categorized as the four most influential families here. But even so, Old Master Leeds is still a much renowned and respected character. No one dares to look down on him. He is indeed the man who made history. It's his eightieth birthday. Those who were invited must attend the birthday party no matter what."

Susan nodded her head. "He’s still Seth's grandfather even if we didn't mention his background and identity. We certainly need to attend the party just because of that."

Julian could not help but smile. "That's true. I've prepared the present. But it's a grand feast given that it's his eightieth birthday. Don't go to work tomorrow afternoon. You need to allow some time for the makeup artist to help you with your look for the night.”

"Sure," Susan nodded.

Although she was in a rush for the designing job, she could not refrain from attending some occasions as Mrs. Shaw.

However, it was indeed the first time for her to attend such a significant and grand feast as Mrs. Shaw.

She was slightly nervous because of it.

The next night.

The garage of Leeds Mansion became an exhibition of all kinds of luxurious cars.

Each and every famous and influential person gathered there.

Even so, both Julian and Susan still attracted a lot of attention the minute they got out of the car.

It only took ten years for Julian to make the Shaw Corporation become the most powerful corporation.

So, Julian could be considered a legendary person.

A while back, as rumor had it, they learned that Julian had married secretly.

They were indeed rather curious toward his wife.

At that moment, Susan could feel their stares clearly. Her hand trembled inevitably as she was holding Julian's hand. 1

Julian felt her nervousness. He pinched her palm softly.

Susan then became calmer.

"Young Master Shaw, Susan, over here!" At that moment, Seth called after them loudly.

The others frowned inevitably. The young master from Leeds was indeed as ridiculous as rumored.
