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

Chapter 11 Where Does Life Not Meet

"Ma’am, where to?" Alfred the chauffeur greeted her.

"Let's go to the jewelers first." Susan thought for a while before admitting, "I’m not really familiar which one though. Just take me to the best jewelry store."

"Yes, ma'am."

In an instant, the car stopped at the entrance of a jewelry store that was intricately renovated. The chauffeur waited outside while Susan went in alone.

The staff welcomed the classy woman warmly.

Looking at how indecisive she was, the staff took the lead and said, "Ma'am, what type of jewelry would you like? Do you need my assistance?"

Susan quickly replied, "What’s the best piece here?"

If she was buying it for herself, she would have not even paid any attention to any jewelry that was priced above four figures. However, at the thought of Julian’s threat in the morning, Susan had no choice but to pick something expensive.

"The best?" The staff’s eyes lit up as she anticipated a n expensive deal. "Ma’am, please give me a minute."

She quickly brought out three different types of jewelry.

The first one was a blue sapphire necklace.

The staff introduced, "This necklace is made up of the finest blue sapphires, carved by the best international master. Both the workmanship and the materials are top-notch. It's $1.3 million."

"$1.3 million!" Susan was immediately stunned and could not believe what she just heard.

How could a little necklace like that be actually worth $1.3 million?

The smile on the staff's face instantly vanished. Was she mistaken about the buying power of the woman standing in front of her?

"What about the two others?" Susan continued asking even though she was shocked by the price of the necklace.

"This Hetian jade bracelet is $1.9 million. This whole set of the golden headdress is $1.5 million,” the staff answered since she felt like Susan was just simply asking for the sake of it

"If that’s the case, then..."

"Ma'am, these three pieces of jewelry are the best in our store. If you're not buying them, I'll have to put them back," the staff said coldly.

Susan frowned.

She wanted to buy all of them but wanted to know more beforehand. However, the attitude of the staff made her unhappy.

Susan was about to say something.

Suddenly, a mocking voice was heard. "Oh, isn't that Susan? Are you here to look at jewelry too?"

When Susan looked over, she saw Mandy clinging onto Luke, looking at her condescendingly. Once again, they crossed paths.

Susan was bewildered. The saying 'where else could they not meet' fitted the picture accurately.

"Hi, Mr. Jenkins and Miss Ainsley." The staff obviously recognized both of them and she gave them a sweet smile. "Both of you are here for your wedding jewelry, aren't you? We have new products that will definitely satisfy you.”

Mandy looked at the shelf. "This blue sapphire necklace looks nice."

"Miss Ainsley, you have impeccable taste. This necklace..."

"Wait." Susan frowned. "I asked about this necklace first."

Although the staff had a rather bad attitude, Susan still needed to buy some jewelry as she could not be bothered to visit another store. She intended to buy all three pieces of jewelry.

"You?" Mandy looked at her with a sneer. "Can you afford it?"

Then, she pursed her lips. "Ah, right, you have Julian

Shaw, but not a single one of Julian's girlfriends lasted more than a week. Or should I say, did you just get dumped? Everyone knows that Julian is generous. You must’ve gotten a large sum of money from the breakup, didn't you? Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's your hard-earned money. If I were you, I'd spend it wisely."

Luke frowned slightly at Mandy's sour face which was not a pleasant sight. "Mandy, it’s okay. Since she enquired first, we’ll just wait for our turn."

Mandy's heart sank at the sight of Luke who was upset. She held his arm affectionately and whined," Luke, she insulted me previously and even made

Julian splash coffee on me. I'm still pissed about it!"

As he studied her beautifully innocent face, Luke’s frown eased as he said, "That's a different case. Don't b e so erratic."

A dash of gloominess flashed across Mandy's eyes. Clearly, Luke had forgotten about Susan, but why was he defending her at this moment?

Could it be...

No, it was impossible. She had tested him at the cafe previously, and Luke had completely forgotten Susan.

If that was the case, then Luke must have really thought that she had gone overboard. She had liked Luke for years and would not let Susan, who was no longer a threat, destroy her image in Luke's heart. 1

Mandy quickly smiled. "Luke, it's just that I really like this blue sapphire necklace. I feel that this necklace will match my wedding gown perfectly. You know how important a wedding is to a girl, don’t you? I..."

Luke sighed and looked at her lovingly. "Wait.”

He walked over to Susan and asked calmly, "Miss Shelby, Mandy really loves the blue necklace. Are you willing to let it go?”

Susan clutched her bag tightly and looked at Luke." Your wedding..."

"Our wedding is next month. Since Mandy likes the necklace so much, Miss Shelby, can you please help u s out?” he requested politely.

Susan had an inexplicable feeling. They had once been promised to each other and had sworn till death do them part. Now, however, he was standing in front of her and saying that he was going to

get married, but she was not the bride.

At that moment, she lost all interest in the jewelry.

"Miss Shelby?” Luke said.

Susan pursed her lips and said softly, "I don’t want the necklace anymore. Luke...I wish you happiness."

Luke was surprised at how incisive Susan was and he nodded, "Thank you."

Luke quickly bought the necklace and gave it to Mandy. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"My dear, you’re the best!” Mandy smiled triumphantly as she tiptoed to give Luke a kiss on the cheek. Her

sudden intimate gesture stunned him.

It was unable to determine Susan's expression as her eyes were cast downward. Her thin build looked exceptionally fragile.

Luke’s heart ached all of a sudden. He did not know why he stole a glance at Susan subconsciously or why his heart would ache so abruptly.

"Miss, the other two items...” The store staff looked at Susan who had lost all interest to purchase anything and just wanted to leave the store.

"I don’t want them,” she said softly, then turned around to leave.

The staff sneered instantly and said under her breath, "Just admit that you're poor. You don’t have to pretend otherwise.”
