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

Chapter 122 Come To The Company

"Alright, if there's nothing else, let’s call it for the day," Luke said.

"Hold on!" A voice erupted.

Luke turned his head and his brows frowned when he saw Madam Jenkins and Charlotte.

"Charlotte is going to join the project," Madam Jenkins announced straightforwardly.

"Luke, I handled several projects singlehandedly while I was abroad, so I'm sure I can be of great help to you. Let me tag along in this negotiation," Charlotte said with a smile.

Looking at the duo, Luke's frown deepened, "This is an official engagement, not your usual playdate. There is somebody working on the project already and the group has enough manpower, so I don't see any reason as to why I should include you in the project."

"Yeah, we have enough people on hand to handle the project." Moya chimed in, a sardonic smile playing around her lips, "As the princess of the Jenkins, I'm certain that you're very capable but please don’t take the bread out of our mouth. We’ll starve to death if we lose our jobs."

Madam Jenkins pulled a long face when she saw Moya. She pulled Luke out of the meeting room and said, "Even that b*tch can take part in the project, so why don't you let Charlotte join? You're Charlotte's brother. How can you be so heartless?"

Luke sighed, ‘‘Mom, I'll have no objection if Charlotte i s really here to help me, but she's clearly aiming for Julian. If I let her in, she'll ruin the entire project!"

"She won't! I promise!" Madam Jenkins said without a doubt, "I’ll make sure that she won't drag you down. Besides, what if she settles with Julian? Wouldn't it be great news for all of us? Let me tell you, Luke. I’ve never lost in my entire life, so I’m not going to let Moya that slut to have it her way. No matter what, you must include Charlotte in the project." 1Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Just when Luke was about to say something in return, Madam Jenkins continued, "I'm the chairperson of the Jenkins Corporation. If you're still wedded to your own opinions, I'll exact my power and strip you of your position as the CEO."

Setting his jaw tight, Luke fixed his gaze on Madam Jenkins as he asked, disbelief accenting his voice, "Do you really want to do this to me, mom?"

Madam Jenkins averted her gaze, but she soon turned her eyes back on Luke as she pleaded, "Luke, please help your sister."

This was all part of Madam Jenkins’ plan. Mandy was not listening to her anymore, and Luke bore a grudge towards her after Susan’s incident. The only way to restore her status in the family was through the marriage between Charlotte and Julian.

At that time, Mandy would not dare to raise her voice against her and Moya and her son would stop giving her trouble since she had the Shaws backing her up.

Luke rubbed his temples as disappointment filled his eyes. He said, "Okay, fine then. I can add Charlotte to the team, but on one condition. She has to listen to every word I say throughout the entire project.”

"Sure, sure, I promise you," Madam Jenkins quickly assented.

After that, Luke returned to the meeting room with a gloomy face and announced that Charlotte would be joining the project team.

A joyful look crossed Charlotte's face. On the other side, Madam Jenkins sliced through Moya with a condescending glare.

In the car, Charlotte had not recovered from her exhilaration yet. Soon, she would arrive at Lanyard and meet Julian. She had not seen him for half a month and she missed him a lot.

Shooting his sister a warning gaze, Luke said," Charlotte, I hope you understand the significance of this resort project to us. The Jenkins Corporation is now in the transitional period, so it's very vital for us t o make sure that the project runs smoothly. Besides, the early stage of this project required a large number of funds, so if the project fails, our capital chain will b e ruptured." "Don't worry, Luke," Charlotte said nonchalantly, "I’m was the top student at my business school. Besides, I haven't had any problems developing overseas markets on my own before, let alone now."

"But there is no Julian Shaw in the overseas market," Luke said calmly.

Truth be told, Charlotte was normal and she was indeed very trustworthy if things were not related to Julian. However, the moment the man appeared, she would undergo a sea of change in both her behavior and attitude.

"Rest assured, Luke. It’s exactly because we're dealing with Julian that I'll work even harder. This time, I’ll use my charisma to conquer him," Charlotte said confidently.

Even though Luke still felt a little skeptical when he saw Charlotte's confident look, he did not say anything more.

At the entrance of Lanyard Construction, Luke narrowed his eyes as a myriad of emotions flowed behind his eyes.

'Susie is working here...'

Ever since the phone call, he had not been in contact with Susan anymore.

He wondered how she was right now. Was Julian good to her? Did Madam Shaw make things hard for her due to the rumors?

His heartbeat was getting faster and faster with every thought that surfaced in his brain. He took a deep breath to push all thoughts out of his head and hid his emotions away.

Even if he still loved her, he was in no place to be in her life anymore. He just hoped that he could take a peek, just a short peek would do, of her while he was a t Lanyard.

The Shaws.

Susan was watching television. She was switching from one channel to the other as she yawned boringly.

"Have some fruit, Miss Susan," Mama Jean fetched a plate of fruit.

Susan sighed, "Mama Jean, do you know why Julian wants to give me a day off?"

Mama Jean stifled a smile. "I guess Mister Julian just wants you to take a short break from your work."

"But I’m not tired at all," Susan pouted.

Julian was too bossy.

This morning, just when she was about to depart to the company, he told her that he had already helped her take a day off on her behalf. He asked her to rest a t home.

However, the problem was that she did not feel like resting at all.

Just when Susan was upset about Julian, she received a phone call from her colleague.

"Susie, I remember you have the design information about medieval architecture, right? I need it right now. Can you send me a copy?"

"Sure, sure, sure," Susan's eyes glowed. She said, "I'll g o to the company now and take it for you."

"That's not necessary. You can just send an email to..."

The colleague was still talking, yet Susan hung up the phone. She took the key and went out, only to be stopped by Mama Jean in the foyer, "Miss Susan, Mister Julian said you must rest at the house today."

"I've had enough rest, Mama Jean," Susan said," Besides, I'm going to the company because my colleague needs my help. Okay, Mama Jean, I have to get going first. Later!”

Then, before Mama Jean could react, Susan had already gotten into the car and vanished out of sight.

She soon arrived at Lanyard. After she sent the copy t o her colleague, she then stayed at the company.

"Thanks!" the colleague said. After that, she went closer to Susan and said to her, "Susie, you still remember the discussion we had yesterday? About who is the best match for Chairman Shaw?"

"Yes. I remember," Susan appeared to be a little sulky," Most of you think that Charlotte Jenkins is the best match for him."

"Hehe! After all, only the Jenkins could rival the Shaws in terms of status," the colleague said in an undertone. Then, she whispered, "The point is, Charlotte Jenkins and her brother have come to Lanyard today!”
