Chapter 127 How To Defuse An Awkward Situation
In the clamorous laughter, the female staff member's face turned green in rage.
Her mouth twitched as she forced a shy smile on her face. "Chairman... Chairman Shaw... I sprained my ankle!"
As she was speaking, she assumed the coquettishly shy expression that she rehearsed countless times to look at Julian Shaw shyly!
'Hmph, idiots, laugh away to your heart's content!”
'I'd like to see how you cry when Mr. Shaw picks me u p later!"
The female staff member thought it through well. She knew that her beauty was no less inferior than Susan Shelby's and she was even better at feigning pity than Susan. If Chairman Shaw could hold Susan, there was no reason for him not to hold her.
Moreover, she would not be as foolish as Susan for not exploiting the opportunity. She would certainly seize this opportunity to make Mr. Shaw fall head over heels for her.
By then, she would be Mrs. Shaw!
The female staff member was having a good time thinking about it when she found Julian looking at her. He frowned and said, "So?"
The woman was trying to seduce him!
So?
The female staff member was stunned for a moment.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
An exquisitely dainty and ravishingly beautiful woman like her was lying in front of him with a sprained ankle!
How could Mr. Shaw not react at all?
The female staff member could not keep the smile on her lips anymore.
She made the decision to speak out even more clearly.
"Mr. Shaw, my leg is injured." The female staff member said coquettishly, "There are so many people i n the other vehicles. I'm afraid it might be crowded and that they might squeeze my wound. Can I sit in your car, Mr. Shaw?"
It was already a full-on statement!
The female staff member went all out in this as well. Since she had already committed the act, she wanted t o achieve her final goal of course.
Otherwise, she would truly end up as a joke.
"Your leg is injured, so you want to sit in my car?" Julian's eyes glowed brighter and brighter.
"Yes," answered the female staff member. She could not help cracking into a smile.
'Mr. Shaw is smiling! This is happening!'
“Here. Since you've been so severely injured, you should not go on the field trip. Stay at the company," said Julian smilingly.
The female staff member's smile froze at once.
This... This was not how the story was supposed to play out.
She still wanted to speak when Julian had already passed through her side and made his way to Susan's vehicle.
"That actually reminds me. Susan, your leg was injured a few days ago, right? It's inconvenient for you to sit in a tight space with your colleagues. Come and join me in my car," Julian calmly said.
He felt rather proud of himself deep inside.
He was simply a genius for coming up with this excuse!
The female staff member was speechless.
'Damn it!'
'Sir, my situation now is obviously more severe than hers! Susan's leg injury must have healed for some time already, right?’
'There’s no need for him to favor one more than another.'
Julian's action drew in everyone’s attention once again, and they were fixated on Susan.
Susan's entire person tensed up instantaneously.
'F*ck. Can Julian stop behaving in such an obvious manner?'
'He did it once, twice, and thrice!'
How was she going to defuse the awkward situation!
Susan's lips twitched awkwardly before she said, "Mr. Shaw...really cares about his staff."
The group of people looked toward the female staff member on the ground.
He cared about his staff?
The staff member that needed the most care was still sitting on the floor.
Susan felt like roaring in rage on the inside upon sensing the attention from other people!
The b*st*rd Julian agreed on keeping the marriage hidden. Yet, his recent actions were obviously showing the world that they had a special relationship.
"It's okay, Mr. Shaw. I'm good with sitting here." Susan attempted to feign that they were not close with great effort.
Julian raised an eyebrow.
'Hmph.' This woman still wanted to keep their marriage hidden. He had no choice but to make her have a slip of the tongue.
Julian's smile grew even more unpredictable. "Do you find that it's inconvenient to walk there? If that's the case, I can carry you there."
Susan was rendered speechless.
The crowd of people started clamoring.
Julian had already extended his arms in preparation t o carry her.
Julian’s hands had just touched her when Susan panicked completely.
"No need. I can walk, I'll walk."
"Very well." Julian could not help smiling.
Susan was furious. She got down from the car in a manner akin to facing death unflinchingly.
"It's time, let's depart," said Julian satisfactorily after looking at his watch.
The vehicle convoy departed.
The female colleague with a sprained ankle was still sitting on the floor with a stupefied expression.
The people in the car were silent for a long time.
Someone spoke out all of a sudden. 1
"I think that... Chairman Shaw and Susan, are they really... No no no no, that's impossible, that's impossible.” The staff member denied herself even before she finished her sentence.
"I think that it’s quite impossible too. But! When has anyone ever seen Chairman Shaw treat a woman so well?" Another person joined in the conversation.
"I thought Susan had a husband already?"
"So what if she has a husband? Can he match up to Chairman Shaw?”
"I don't think Susie is that kind of person."
"Who knows?"
The people discussed the topic animatedly.
Chance Hamilton was almost injured from his pent up feelings as he listened to the conversation.
As an insider, he was ordered by Julian not to speak about anything. It was too tough.
The people were still discussing the relationship between Julian and Susan enthusiastically.
Even though Susan could not hear them, she could figure it out just by thinking about it.
She could not refrain from pinching Julian in the car. Then, she said in a slightly embarrassed yet furious manner, "Julian Shaw, you did it on purpose."
"Woman, you don’t appreciate what's good for you. I'm only showing my concern to you." Julian had a serious expression on his face.
"You you you you..." Susan pointed at him with a shaky hand. "Stop it. You're doing it on purpose so that everyone will find out that we're married. In our prenup, it was clearly written that this marriage is supposed to be a hidden marriage. You’ve breached the agreement."
"Agreement? What sort of agreement is that, and why don't I know about it?" Julian refused to acknowledge i t.
"It's the one that we signed when we got married..." Susan was halfway through her sentence when she could not help but look at him doubtfully, "Julian! Where's the agreement?"
Julian said sneakily, "What about the agreement? If you can find even a shred of it, you can consider it my loss."
Susan was rendered speechless.
She had witnessed the man’s shamelessness once again.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with getting exposure. I can guarantee that no one will have the courage to bully you again upon learning that you're Mrs. Shaw." Julian stated the advantage of this identity by giving methodological and patient guidance. 1
"However, no one will have the courage to approach m e either." Susan was in despair.
It wasn't that she wanted to hide it intentionally.
If her colleagues found out that she was the CEO's wife, then they would never be able to mingle naturally just like before.
She would have a hard time working with these people.
"Not really," said Julian casually. Then, he twirled around a lock of her hair.
"Let go of me.” Susan snatched back her hair and then looked at Julian vigilantly. "You can’t keep doing this anymore. We must maintain a distance on this field trip, we must keep our distance."
Julian could not help raising an eyebrow upon seeing Susan's determined appearance. "I can promise you that. However, will I be getting some small compensation for cooperating with you?"
"What kind of compensation?" asked Susan.
Julian had already leaned forward to kiss her with an evil expression.
The driver and Alfred acted as if they did not see anything.
