Chapter 16

Stunned, Susan said, “Julian is on a business trip.”

“A business trip?” Charlotte frowned. “That’s such a shame.”

“Is there anything important for him? Do you want me to give you his phone number?” Susan said warmly.

“Why wouldn’t I have his number? Do I really need your nonsense?” Charlotte glanced coldly at Susan. “Also, I heard you calling him Julian. I call him Julian because we are intimate. You’re just a servant and you call him Julian? You really have no shame!”

“I…” Susan went pale.

“What?” Charlotte continued, “Julian doesn’t mind because he has a good temper, but you as a servant should be more self-aware and behave like how a servant should.”

Charlotte Jenkins’s attitude was domineering. Susan pursed her lips and did not know how to rebuke. After all, Julian had said before that their marriage was a secret.

The woman standing in front of Susan just declared that she was intimate with him and was probably...one of his many flings.

Previously, when she looked at Julian’s flings, she would rate them in her heart such as who had a better figure, but it was inexplicable why she felt so sad this time.

“I’m talking to you. Don’t you know how to answer me?” Charlotte frowned even harder. She thought that this servant of Julian’s was behaving badly and she could not understand how he could tolerate her.

However, Cheryl had told her that Julian seemed to be especially nice to this servant. Upon thinking about that, Charlotte’s gaze deepened when she looked at Susan.

“Alright.” Susan said with her head lowered.

Charlotte was not satisfied, so she squinted. “Lift your head up.” Her tone was so assertive that Susan lifted her head subconsciously.

Charlotte looked at her from head to toe and her glance became vicious. “You look pretty good! Everything you wear is branded. No wonder you dare to ignore me. It turns out that your job is more than just being a servant.”

“I didn’t ignore you. I was just…”

“Haha, just because you climbed into Julian’s bed doesn’t mean you’re at his level. The Shaw family is prestigious and Julian Shaw’s wife needs to be no different from that. I’ve met too many women like you. I’ve been working abroad for the past few years so you people had the chance to climb into his bed, but you’d better remember your identity! A wild woman will always be a wild woman and will never be presentable,” Charlotte rebuked sternly.

She believed that no one except herself could be Mrs. Shaw. Although she would not be able to deal with all of Julian’s flings at once, she needed to warn them.

“You...who are you?” Susan could not help asking.

“Why? Do you want to complain to Julian?” Charlotte looked at her mockingly. “I’m telling you clearly now that I’m the one and only Miss of the Jenkins Corporation, the future wife of Julian Shaw! You can try complaining to him and see if he’ll do anything to me because of you!”

“The one and only Miss of Jenkins Corporation?” Susan looked surprised. “Which Jenkins Corporation?”

“Does Ningcheng city have many famous Jenkins Corporations?” Charlotte frowned.

“You...you’re Charlotte Jenkins?” Susan was startled.

When she was still with Luke, he had mentioned the sister that he pampered the most many times. Charlotte was a cute and naive lady from what he described. Now that they had met…

Sure enough, a picture painted a thousand words.

“How do you know my name?” Charlotte was stunned but a flash of joy appeared in her eyes. “Did Julian mention me?”

Susan did not know how to answer, so she kept quiet.

Charlotte thought that was a silent agreement and the joy in her eyes multiplied. She thought that Julian would never forget about her anyway. He intentionally said that during the phone call because he was angry that she had gone abroad all of a sudden.

She would make up for the lost time when they met.

A gentle flash emerged in Charlotte’s eyes.

Since Julian was not there, she did not have a reason to stay. She looked at Susan and said, “Alright, I’ve said what should be said. Continue doing your work. Remember, just do your work honestly and don’t think about anything that you shouldn’t think of.”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Susan smiled bitterly.

‘Things that shouldn’t be thought of? What does that mean? If it’s about being Julian’s wife, then I’m already his wife.‘But Charlotte was saying that she will be Julian’s future wife…’

Susan bit her lower lip.

Their marriage was an accident. In the beginning, if it had not been a disaster prevention measure for Julian, she would not have married him based on her identity.

When it came to family background, Ms. Jenkins would have been the ideal match for Julian.

Suddenly, she lost interest to continue cleaning the house. After hesitating for a while, she called Julian.

“Susan?” Julian was overjoyed when he saw the incoming call and reached to answer it. Then, his finger hovered above the answer button.

If he answered immediately, would it show that he was excited? He needed to wait for at least 10 seconds!

Julian thought to himself calmly.

“He must be busy since there’s no answer,” Susan mumbled and hung up.

Just when Julian was about to answer the call, the call ended. He gritted his teeth. ‘Would she have died if she waited any longer? Forget about it. This woman will call back in a while!’

However, he waited and waited but there was no activity on his phone.

Julian drew a deep breath. He should return her call.

‘Returning the call doesn’t mean that I care about her! It’s because this woman is too dumb and I’m afraid that she might’ve done something to smear the Shaw family’s name. Yes, that’s right.’

After giving himself numerous reasons, Julian called her back immediately.

When she answered the call, he put on a blase attitude, then said blandly, “Any problems? I’m a little busy. If there’s nothing…”

In fact, he had completed all of his work and even had his personal assistant arrange a private jet to fly home!

“Then, go get your work sorted first. There’s nothing urgent here,” Susan quickly replied.

Julian was speechless. He drew in a deep breath and ordered, “Spill it!”

“Okay,” Susan frantically answered, “It’s nothing really urgent. It’s just that Charlotte Jenkins from the Jenkins family came looking for you.”

“Charlotte Jenkins? If you see her next time, don’t bother opening the door,” Julian answered with a frown.

“That’s...not that good, right?”

“What’s not good?” Julian became impatient. “Did you call to tell me about this?”

He...he thought that this woman missed him after just a day of being away on a business trip.

“Hmm, that’s all,” Susan said honestly.

“Haha! Bye!” Julian ended the call abruptly.

Susan listened to the ended call dumbfoundedly. She...she seemed to have triggered him again!
