Chapter 25 Narrow-hearted
Chapter 25 Narrow-hearted
Chance Hamilton was stunned. "Huh? Chairman, you've still not had your breakfast? I'll give you the phone number for food delivery.”
He took his phone out and searched for a number.
Julian sulked instantly. How could his company actually have such a blur person!?
"I want to have breakfast now,” Julian enunciated every word firmly.
'Now?' Only then did Chance understood the meaning. He scratched his head and offered, "Chairman Shaw, d o you want me to buy some for you?"
Julian was speechless while Susan pursed her lips and resisted laughing.
'Chance is really a living treasure!' She was moody since that morning, but looking at his reactions made her feel better.
For the sake of avoiding CEO Shaw from being annoyed by Chance, Susan voluntarily handed over the soy milk and cookie. "Chairman Shaw, you can have this.”
"Hmph," Julian snorted coldly and accepted the food before walking away.
Once Julian left, Chance said pitifully, "They taste really good. Susan, I'll get them for you again
tomorrow."
“It’s okay," she quickly declined his offer.
She dared to guarantee that no matter how many days Chance brought her breakfast, CEO Shaw would snatch it away. Although that man did not like her, his narrow-hearted ways were outrageous.
In the office, Susan was just about to order a meal with the other colleagues.
Suddenly, a delivery guy came in. "Which one of you is Susan Shelby?"
Susan was stunned. "I am, but you may have gotten it wrong because I haven’t ordered yet."
The delivery guy walked over with a smile. "There’s no mistake. Chairman Shaw says he ate your breakfast, s o he wants to return this to you."
Then, he started taking out item after item. The first box, the second box, the third, the fourth...
He kept taking out the boxes.
At last, everybody gathered around to watch, i
"Okay, there are a total of 23 types of breakfast, Ms. Shelby. Enjoy." The delivery guy left.
Susan looked at the breakfast spread over two to three office tables and was dumbfounded.
"Susan, what breakfast of yours did Chairman Shaw eat? Dragon's liver or phoenix's bile?" a colleague could not help asking.
"It was just the soy milk and the cookie that Chance gave..." Susan was just speechless.
She looked at the lavish breakfast spread and felt annoyed for a short while. 'Julian Shaw...is so narrowminded!'
"Let's eat breakfast together," Susan said.
Everyone cheered and tore into the breakfast.
Chance exclaimed as he ate, "Chairman Shaw is really Chairman Shaw. These crab meat dumplings are so delicious. Tomorrow, I shall bring soy milk and cookie for an exchange too."
Susan looked at him and could only exclaim how amazing it was to have a big heart!
After everyone including Susan had eaten breakfast, she went back to her place and sat in front of her computer. Just as she sat down, an e-mail popped out.
"How was breakfast?" It was from CEO Shaw.
The annoyed Susan replied: "In the future, don't buy m e food that others want to eat. What a shame!”
Then, another e-mail came from Julian again.
Susan knew this was going to happen. She rolled her eyes and replied: "Chairman Shaw, our company's 23rd rule states that one shall not use the company’s mailbox to chat about matters unrelated to work.”
Then, everything went silent.
Susan started her work energetically.
'This woman...’ Julian got frustrated at the sight of her reply.
However, when he looked at the soy milk and cookie sitting comfortably in the trash can, he felt slightly better.
'Come to think of it, being at my place is difficult. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Besides trying to prevent the wife from reconciling with her old flame, I have to prevent her new suitors. Whose job can be harder than mine?’
Just as Julian was feeling depressed, the office phone rang. He answered it.
"Julian," a gentle voice came from the other side.
It was Charlotte Jenkins.
Julian raised an eyebrow. "You’re capable enough to b e able to get through my direct phone line."
Charlotte chuckled. "Although Jenkins Corporation can't compare to the Shaw Corporation, I'm still capable in my own ways."
"Is there anything important? If there's nothing, I'm really busy..." Julian was about to hang up.
"Wait." Charlotte instantly became nervous. "Julian, I've done some investigation about Susan and there's something that I think you should know." "Sorry, I'm not interested...” She quickly added, "I found out that before she got married to you, she had a very loving ex-boyfriend, but this whole part of her life seemed to be intentionally erased by someone. I was able to trace this from whatever information that’s available and got to know that she had an ex-boyfriend although I couldn’t find out who he is. Anyway, something isn't right with Susan."
Julian squinted. ’’It’s impressive that you’re able to investigate this."
Mrs. Jenkins had dealt with the issue between Luke and Susan once while Julian took care of the matter another time. Although Mrs. Jenkins did not know that Julian was involved, with both their actions, everything that had ever happened between Luke and Susan had been erased.
Those who knew about it had sworn to never mention it.
During that time, even Julian's mother knew nothing about it. He did not expect that Charlotte would be able to trace it.
Julian was finally willing to listen to her, so she let out a sigh of relief and said gently, "Julian, I investigate this to prevent you from being conned. I even heard that Susan and her ex-boyfriend almost got married, but she suddenly dumped him to marry you. I'm sure her intentions aren't good." "Charlotte," Julian frowned hard and warned her
coldly, "I don't need you to come in between Susan and me. There are boundaries and you have crossed the boundary."
"But, Julian..." Charlotte was nervous.
"That’s all. I still have work to do." Julian instantly hung up.
"Damn it!" Charlotte flung her phone away.
'What did Susan do to Julian? How can someone as proud as Julian turn a blind eye to these matters because of her? No, it's impossible that Julian isn’t concerned. He must be unable to accept the truth for the time being. Then, I shall force him to accept it.'
"Susan, I will find out who that wild man is. Just wait and see," Charlotte gritted her teeth and said.
"What wild man?" At that moment, Luke walked in with a smile. "Mom made pear and fungus soup. Let's g 0 downstairs to drink some."
"Coming." Charlotte stood up with a smile.
"You haven't told me about the wild man were you talking about." Luke was curious.
Charlotte’s eyes were dull with gloom. "It’s about Julian Shaw."
"Did you really take action?" he asked.
"Of course, I have to fight for the man I want. Just wait and see," she said coldly, "A few days ago, I was thinking of a plan to meet Julian and then I found out that he has a wife! If she was from some wealthy family, I could have let it go, but she's an ordinary woman whose name is Susan Shelby!”
"Susan Shelby!" Luke's eyes contained a flash of surprise.
