The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 139 Uproar

Susan's face turned pink in embarrassment before she said, "You're different from him."

Although Luke was her closest partner at one point in her life, he was nothing but a familiar stranger to her now. Since he was a stranger, it went without saying that she had to return the favor.

However, things were different for Julian. He was her husband, her lover, and her family. She owed him far too much, and it was impossible to get to the bottom o fit.

When Julian understood what Susan was implying, his eyes sparkled. He scooped Susan up into his arms and then spoke in a deep voice, "Even though I'm different from him, you still have to return me the favor."

"How do you want me to pay you back?" Susan blushed even redder.

"Well, basically... I only accept compensation."

'Huh?'

Before Susan could react, Julian had thrown her onto the bed. Then, he threw himself on top of her, put his arms around her, and secured her body against his.

"Susie, did you know how scared I was when I found out you that you were missing? Thank God for the

miracle that nothing happened to you."

Since he was lying on her shoulder, she could not see his face. However, she could hear him very well. His voice was shaking, and her heart trembled.

She hugged him back. When she was in the cave, she really thought she was going to die. At that time, the only two people in her mind were her brother and Julian. The high-handed man had unwittingly occupied her heart.

Julian thanked God for the miracle, but she knew there were not many miracles in the world. It was him who made all the miracles come true. In other words, he was her miracle.

It had been snowing on and off in the mountains. Standing in front of his own room, Luke stared straight towards a certain direction, clenching and unclenching his hands.

He wondered how Susan was feeling right now after going through the tragic incident. Was she still scared?

If possible, he wanted to secure Susan in his arms and comfort her. However, he was not qualified, and he did not have the face to do that either.

If the one who tried to hurt Susan was the other person, he would definitely make the person pay for whatever he did. But the person was none other than his own sister. 'I'm sorry, Susie. You must be very disappointed with me now, aren't you?'

Luke's heart ached as if somebody was stabbing him.

"Mr. Jenkins, the snow is getting heavier. Why are you still standing out here? Let's go inside the house," a person shouted as he ran towards Luke.

"It's okay. The snow helps me clear my mind," Luke replied flatly.

The snow was getting heavier. Everybody was going into their own room, save for Luke, who just stood there and allowed the snow to coat him whole.

On the next day, the snow stopped completely early in the morning.

Julian called his men to clear the road down the mountain. It took them only a morning to get the job done.

After that, everyone prepared to go home.

This time, Julian directly scooped Susan up into his arms and carried her into his car.

Luke could not help but cough violently when he saw the scene.

"Mr. Jenkins, you seem to have a bad cold," a nervous voice rang out.

"I'm fine," Luke replied with a croaky voice, "Is everybody here? Let's count heads and then get ready to go back."

After standing in the snow for the entire night, his head hurt as if somebody was hitting him with a sledgehammer. Be that as it may, he thought it was better. He was trying to use the pain in his head to numb the pain in his heart.

After they got down from the mountain, they split away and went to their own destinations.

Lanyard Corporation.

Just when Susan was about to get down from the car, Julian interrupted her.

"Hold on," he said. Then, he grabbed her into his arms and carried her into Lanyard.

"It seems like Mr. Shaw really likes Susan a lot. I wonder what is so great about her," A female colleague said, her face filled with jealousy, "I wonder how long Mr. Shaw can keep it up."

"What're you talking about?" Queeny frowned, "Susan is good, and I think she is a good match for Mr. Shaw."

The people around Queeny all looked at her in shock.

One of them sized her up suspiciously and said," What's wrong with you, Queeny? Don't you hate Susan the most?"

"That is already something of the past," Queeny's face blushed when she thought of the things she did to Susan, "After spending some time with Susan, I found that she isn't as bad as I used to think." "Ohh, I get it. You're using Susan as a bridge to curry favor with Mr. Shaw, right?" someone pointed out.

Queeny looked at her colleagues and realized that all of their faces were filled with unconcealable envy and jealousy. To think that she used to mingle with them, Queeny suddenly felt there was no need to explain anymore.

"Have it your way. I'm going back to work," Queeny said as she extracted herself out of the crowd.

Susan's tolerance had made her realize how narrow her mind was. Right now, she wanted to change herself so that she could become a better person. 1

At the hall of Lanyard.

"Mr. Shaw."

"Mr. Shaw."

All of the Lanyard employees greeted Julian, and they were shocked when they saw Susan in their boss' arms.

"What the hell is this?"

"Why is Mr. Shaw carrying Susan in his arms?"

"What the hell actually happened during the site visit?"

As the group that followed Julian to the site came into the office, the crowd gathered around them and began throwing questions at them.

Several of them who had silver tongues then launched out into a colorful description of how perilous Susan's situation was, how frantic Julian was, and how he pushed aside all obstacles and difficulties and eventually saved Susan out of her predicament.

The crowd was stunned as they could not come around to their senses.

Then, the scandal between Julian and Susan swept across the entire company in the shortest amount of time.

Nobody dared to discuss it in public, so they all switched to communicate through phones.

"Hot news! Hot news! After Mr. Shaw carried Susan into his office, they didn't come out anymore!"

"I can't believe that Susan actually captured Mr. Shaw's heart. I wonder how she did that?"

"Capturing Mr. Shaw's heart means nothing. Madam Shaw would be her greatest obstacle if she wants to marry into the Shaws."

"Well, for me, I don't really care if I can marry into the Shaws. I'd already very satisfied if I could be in a relationship with Mr. Shaw for a few days."

Rumors were drifting profusely and disorderly amongst the employees, but the two main characters of the rumor were having a staredown contest inside the office.

"Why did you bring me into your office? I have to go back to work."

Julian replied, "You can work here."

"No. All my information and documents are stored on my computer."

"I can ask somebody to send it up for you."

"People would make up stories about us."

"Well, I've heard of a few of them. You want me to share them with you?"

Every argument Susan gave was countered by Julian.

Exhausted, she pouted her mouth and asked, "What the hell do you want, Julian?"

Julian chuckled seeing her reaction. Then, he said, "I want you. But I don't think now is the right time. Let's wait until we go home first."

Susan was first stunned, then her face blushed. She shot up from the chair and shouted, "Julian!"

"What?" Julian raised his brow, "Could it be that you can't wait any longer? Well, to be honest, I don't care if we do it right here."

'You don't care about it, but I care!'

Just when Susan sidestepped and was about to go out of the office, Julian grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall.

"Mr. Shaw. I have an emergency document here, and I need you to..."

Suddenly, the door was opened and a secretary emerged. She blushed when she saw the scene inside the office.
