Chapter 6 Old Friend
Susan cautiously said, "Julian, I really have an appointment with my client..."
Bang!
Julian hung up.
Then, Susan saw the black Maybach speed off.
Susan laughed bitterly. It seemed like she had provoked him...
However...she was also innocent!
It was not she who made Chance Hamilton profess his love for her, and she really had an appointment with a client.
"Narrow-minded," Susan mumbled. She found Meet Cafe and waited for her client.
The Maybach was speeding on the road. Suddenly, it stopped at the roadside.
Julian’s eyes flashed with a burst of anger.
That damned woman!
So many women were dying to be in his car, but he could not be bothered.
Now, she dared to reject his personal offer?
Haha, an appointment with a client! Should he be pleased with his employee's dedication?
Forget it. Susan could do what she wanted to! It had nothing to do with him!
After all, he could have any kind of woman with just a phone call.
Julian dialed a number. "Where're you? I'll come and pick you up."
"Chairman Shaw?" an excited voice proclaimed, "How come you thought of looking for me?"
"Aren't you happy about it?"
"Of course not, I'm going to pass out from happiness. Chairman Shaw, I’m at..."
Julian hung up with his brows raised.
Indeed, that should be the correct response.
'Susan, do you think you’re irreplaceable? Without you, I'll only be more unrestrained.’
Julian then drove off.
Meanwhile, Susan kept looking at her watch. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
It was already 6.30 p.m., but the client was nowhere to be seen.
As she was about to send an email to reconfirm the meeting time, a soft voice rang out, "Miss Shelby, you've waited long enough."
Susan lifted her head and her eyes found the man standing beside her. She could not believe her eyes.
It was him!
How could it be him!?
"Miss Shelby, it's not very polite of you to stare at my fiance like that.” The girl chuckled and turned flirtatiously to the man beside her. "My dear, you're too charismatic. Even Miss Designer here is
attracted by you."
The man smiled at her. "Don’t play around.”
Then, he looked at Susan. "Miss Shelby, Mandy can be playful sometimes. Please don’t take it to heart."
They were warm words, but there was a distant tonation. The pampering and generosity once belonged to her, but they now belonged to another woman.
That man standing in front of her was Luke Jenkins, the man who had broken his promise to her.
Under the table, Susan clasped her hands tightly together.
Other than Luke, Mandy Ainsley was also an acquaintance.
Mandy had had a thing for Luke for the longest time. Initially, when Susan had been together with Luke, Mandy had used her family's influence to torment her. i
At that time, Luke was always protecting and defending her without hesitation. Now, he looked at Susan as if she was a stranger but was full of love
when looking at Mandy.
Despite her heart feeling like it had been shredded into pieces, she managed to force a smile. "Not to worry. Miss Ainsley.Js cute."
"See, Miss Shelby says that I'm cute. You're the only one complaining," Mandy continued to flirt with Luke.
Luke only smiled back. His smile was familiar yet strange.
Susan felt her heart ache.
"Miss Shelby, this is the case. Luke and I are getting married soon, so I hired you to design our new bedroom. You know every girl dreams of having the perfect wedding and I must have the perfect bedroom too. Therefore, I got you to change the designs. I'm not trying to give you trouble. I'm just..." Mandy spoke incessantly.
Susan did not pay attention to what she was saying and she could not help looking in Luke's direction as countless emotions rushed through her heart.
It looked like he had lost weight. However, he looked energetic. Maybe he had been recovering well.
"Miss Shelby.” Luke frowned. "Is there something on m y face?"
"Nope." Susan quickly looked down.
Luke turned to Mandy. "Mandy, do we need to change t o a new designer?"
Mandy laughed and said softly, "It’s okay, Miss Shelby has amazing abilities. I want her to design. My dear, can you leave us for a while? I need to have a word with Miss Shelby privately."
"Sure." Luke stood up. He even gave Susan a warning gaze before he left.
At that moment, Susan's feelings were indescribable. She clearly knew that Luke had completely forgotten about her, but there was a glimmer of hope in her heart before they met.
However, she could not escape from the brutal reality. There was not a trace of her in Luke’s heart.
Suddenly, a voice ridiculed her, "Miss Shelby, your heart is aching, isn't it?"
Susan looked at Mandy.
At that moment, Mandy's angelic smile that was used i n front of Luke was nowhere to be seen and her vicious fangs were revealed.
"You...you did all these on purpose! You purposely appointed me to design your room, purposely ask for a meetup, and purposely asked Luke to..." Susan clenched her teeth.
As Mandy laughed, there was a trace of malice that could not be concealed in her eyes, "Of course, I did it 0 n purpose! Last time when Luke spoiled you, you were so arrogant in front of me, but who would’ve guessed that an accident would completely erase you from
Luke's memory. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he didn’t forget anyone o r anything else but you. Why would he forget you? I think people who are easily forgotten aren't so important after all.”
‘People who are easily forgotten aren't so important after all.’
Susan's heart was aching tremendously. She wanted t 0 retaliate but could not find the words.
Mandy was right. If she was important, why would he forget her?
Looking at Susan's pain, a dash of pleasure flashed across Mandy's eyes. "When he was involved in the accident and was bedridden, I was the one who took care of him. Where were you then? So, Susan, I deserve this."
Where...was she?
Susan was slightly flustered.
When Luke got into the accident, she had rushed to see him. However, Luke’s parents stopped her outside.
Susan could still recall their sharp words.
"You're only with Luke because of the Jenkin family's money, aren't you? Our son has already forgotten about you, so please leave at once."
