Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 167

“You don’t have to overreact about this…” Susan said weakly.

“Was I?” Julian was rather excited. “I just want everyone to know that my wife is the most exceptional person.”

“I just won a small competition!”

“That’s because there is no bigger competition than this. If not, you’d still be the champion,” Julian said without any hesitation. “That’s it. I’ll go and order a banner first.”

“A banner?” Susan looked at Julian in shock.

Julian nodded his head. “I need two banners. One will be hung in the company, and another will be at our home. I even thought of what would be written on the banners. Congratulations to Susan for winning the design competition.”

Susan was deeply shocked.

He even wanted to hang the banners at both their company and home.

Susan felt that she would go crazy any minute.

Susan pleaded, “Please don’t.”

“Why? I want the banners to have a grand design too. It’ll be very prestigious!” Julian was still quite excited.

No matter how grand and prestigious those banners were, they were still nothing more than plain banners.

Susan felt quite exhausted with him.

After half an hour, Susan was finally able to eliminate that sudden creative idea which emerged in Julian’s mind.

“Why shouldn’t I hang the banners…” Julian felt that it was a waste not to do so.

Susan could not help but roll her eyes at him.

“We can forget about the banners, but we must hold a celebration party for it.” Julian stood up all of a sudden. “We’re running out of time. I’ll go and settle everything now. Moreover, we still have the guest list…”

Julian murmured as he started taking action.

“Have mercy on my soul!” Susan lay down on the giant bed and complained about it loudly.

The next day at Ningcheng City.

“Did you receive the invitation card from the Shaws?”

“Yes. The butler sent it over this morning.”

“Me too.”

A few rich people met each other.

“This is indeed Julian’s first time holding a party at his home since he took over the Shaw Corporation. We must be there.”

“That’s for sure. This is a good chance to get close to Lanyard Construction.”

They were having a heated discussion.

“Then do you know why Julian is holding a party this time around?”

“It seems like… his wife won the design competition.”

“Don’t talk nonsense here! Why would he invite all of the rich and famous people in the entire city for such a trivial thing? I think that it might just be a ruse. Julian is definitely going to do something big during the party!”

“I think so too. This party is going to be something.”

It was the first time Julian had held a party at home since ten years ago. He even invited all of the famous and rich people. The others could not help but have all kinds of conjectures.

Julian decided to arrange the party at a suburban manor.

The employees started their work in the middle of the night the previous day. They began decorating the venue in order to ensure that the party could begin according to the appointed time.

The next morning, there were all kinds of fresh ingredients that were being airlifted to the manor.

The entire manor was bustling with all kinds of activities.

“Susan, is Julian holding a party?” It was a call from Madam Shaw.

“Yes,” Susan said.

“Besides, Mr. Shaw even let us take the afternoon off. We have plenty of time to prepare ourselves for the party.”

“Mr. Shaw is going to hold a party. We’re really looking forward to it.”

“I heard that a lot of prestigious people from Ningcheng City are invited to the party too other than the employees from Lanyard Construction.”

“Not only that, but I heard that Mr. Shaw even hired great stars and artists to perform during the party.”

They had a heated discussion about the upcoming party.

Susan touched her forehead in resignation.

Julian went out of his way to hold the party, and it seemed rather crazy.

There were around five hundred employees from Lanyard Construction who would be attending the party that night.

In addition, there would be another five hundred prestigious people from Ningcheng City too.

Hence, it meant that they would be hosting a party for around a thousand guests.

It was all because of her success in winning a competition. She wondered whether it was necessary to hold a party for a thousand people just because of that?

Susan was speechless.

Everyone left work in the afternoon.

All of them went home to prepare for the party happily. They cared so much about the party. So Susan could not embarrass herself too since she was the hostess. The professional makeup artist came to her home at an early hour, and she was forced to let the makeup artist help prepare her look for the party.

In the evening, Susan was finally done with her makeup. Julian was standing at the door, staring at her.

When he saw Susan, he narrowed his eyes inevitably. Susan was wearing a ful red dress that night. She seemed extremely gorgeous with her exquisite makeup.

“Does this color…seem too striking?” Susan was rather awkward.

Her closet was filled with plain and dull-colored clothes. She never had clothes that had striking colors.
