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

Chapter 568 What A Jaw

"That's understandable." Julius chuckled, "I hope you can save my phone number so that I won’t be an unknown caller the next time I call."

Susan was even more embarrassed. She responded immediately, "I'll save it later."

"Then Ms. Shelby, I’ll not beat around the bush and get straight to the point of this call." It seemed to be windy on Julius's side. His voice sounded very vague. "The favor that you owe me—I might need you to return it now."

"Is there anything that requires my help? Just say it."

The corner of Julius's lips twitched and a smile appeared on his face. "Let me put it this way. Haven’t I been conducting secret missions abroad? I just came back some time ago and I was promoted to a general. So now, many people want to invite me to their banquets. I've rejected a lot of them, and I feel really embarrassed about it. Tomorrow the Quintons will be holding a banquet. I was thinking that I should attend one once in a while. However, I'm not very comfortable with such situations— I’m worried that I can't handle it well if I go alone."

"What do you want to say then?" Susan could not help but ask.

"Can you accompany me there? I know that the daughter Lara Quinton calls you her master, and you're very close to the Quintons. I can feel more at ease when you're around," Julius invited Susan directly.

Actually, I'm not very comfortable with such occasions too..."

“You'll be at least better than me.' Julius scoffed, “Just this once?"

Julius invited her politely, so it was not easy for Susan to refuse him. Plus, she did owe him one.

Susan gave it a thought and agreed to it with a nod. “Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Thanks, thank you.” Julius said gratefully, "Then I'll fetch you at the Wrights at 6 pm sharp tomorrow."

"Okay." Susan nodded in response.

The next evening, Julius was at the gate waiting for Susan.

"General Jenner is here again!" Before Julius had the time to call Susan, the concierge had quickly passed the message to the mansion.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Susan for a while.

George cleared his throat and said, “Susie, you and Julius are quite close huh?"

"Nah. It's just that he just came back to Skyking City. He's not very familiar with the place and people, so I'm accompanying him to a banquet to let him familiarize and blend in," Susan explained.

"This Julius fella..." Luna glared at George while he was about to comment about Julius and shut him up successfully.

Luna then gazed at Susan with a smile. ' Susie, it's nothing, don’t mind your dad. Now go."

Susan nodded and was about to leave. Chessie stared at Susan eagerly, "Is Mommy going to a banquet? Chessie wants to go out and play too."

Looking at her longing eyes, Susan's heart melted. She agreed to bring her along without any hesitation.

She then glanced at Lucas again. "Luca should come along too."

"So I can go too?" Lucas's eyes lit up and he happily agreed to the suggestion.

Therefore, Julius originally thought that he was waiting for one person, but he got three instead.

"I'm sorry, the kids also want to go to the banquet to play...” Susan explained.

"It's okay." Julius picked up the kids, one on each arm, and replied with a smile, "I still need to thank them and you for going with me."

Seeing that Julius didn't mind it, Susan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Quintons had a rather special attribute.

They really loved holding banquets.

From Brook Quinton to Lara Quinton, the father-daughter duo were truly banquet maniacs, the Quintons would hold at least one medium-sized banquet every week, and there must be a large one every month.

Over time, the Quintons had become the entertainment center of Skyking City-many people even talked about business in the Quintons' mansion habitually.

This time at the banquet, Lara had been standing at the door a long time ago, looking out eagerly.

She received news from Susan in advance saying that she was coming to the banquet!

Her master is coming, of course, she could not neglect her at the banquet as an apprentice.

Lara tiptoed, stretched her neck, and waited for Susan to arrive at the door. Suddenly, an eye- catching sports car stopped beside her.

Seth opened the window and took off his sunglasses handsomely. "Vo, waiting for me here so early? Even if you're passionate, it's not going to change the fact that you have runner tits."

Lara couldn't help but take in a deep breath, and another one after that.

'He is a guest,' she told herself. Even if Seth's cheapness knows no boundaries, she had to control herself.

Lara did not utter a single word, and Seth became more energetic. "Why aren’t you talking back? Is it because I found out that you're waiting for me, and now you feel shy?"

Lara rolled her eyes and continued to brainwash herself.

This was a big courtroom and there was a big crowd, so she must remain calm. If she kicked his ass here, it would do no good to her image as a fair maiden.

"Really? Are you really shy?" Seth was shocked. "Girl, don't do this. Even if you like me, I won’t fall for you. Although a person's character is very important, if there are no boobs, all personalities will only drift by like clouds. And with your size, I’m absolutely..."

As Seth was talking, Lara suddenly howled. She then rushed towards Seth and started hitting him like crazy.

F*ck his title as a guest, and f*ck her fairmaiden image.

At this moment, Lara had only one thought in her mind!

Kill this lunatic!

She kept on beating Seth frantically, and Seth was completely stunned.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He looked around and found that many people were gawking here with a mocking expression. Seth couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He grabbed Lara’s arms. "Calm down! Even if I expose you, there's no need to go all cuckoo."

Go cuckoo?

Lara's eyes were bloodshot, her arms were controlled, she went straight up with her mouth and bit Seth's arm.

'F*ck...

'This girl has quite a jaw.’

The thought flashed through Seth's mind, then he started struggling really hard.

But to Lara, since her fair maiden image was already a goner, she might as well give him a taste of hell today!

"Are you a Leo? What a jaw you have there." Seth flung his arm desperately.

Lara did not let go of the bite.

"Argh, argh, argh, argh." Seth could not help but start to scream, which attracted the attention of more people at the banquet.

Everyone looked askance at this lively scene, one after another.

"Isn't this Director Leeds from StarTech? Since when did he get so close to Ms.

Quinton?" someone said.

"Who's close to her (him)?" Seth and Lara yelled at almost the same time.

The man was stupefied for a moment, and then he said, "Wow, 1 didn’t expect them to have such a level of tacit understanding!”

"Hey hey hey, don't you talk nonsense about this...” Seth was about to start blabbering.

But Lara was one step ahead and said with disdain, "I have a tacit understanding with this douchebag? Please don't drag my standard down to the floor, okay?"

Douchebag?

And what was the matter with Lara's eagerness to disassociate herself from him? Seth felt a little weird about getting upset over the concept.

He raised his eyebrows and said calmly,"

Ms. Quinton, I understand the feeling of holding onto an unrequited love, and I can also understand your indifference towards me when we’re in front of a crowd. But don't worry, even if we can't be together, I’ll still treat you as a friend."

What the hell? What unrequited love?

Lara was stunned.

The nearby onlookers all showed an expression as if they had just arrived at a lightbulb moment.
