Chapter 5 Difficult Client


    Susan was speechless as she thought inwardly,'' Young man, I''m trying to save you!''


    Julian''s face turned even sourer at the sight of their interaction. He nced coldly at Susan and


    said," That''s great!"


    After that, he turned around and left.


    "What did Chairman Shaw mean?" Chance was confused.


    Meanwhile, Susan was secretly cursing in her heart. She would have to bear most of the


    consequences of Chance''s dumb move. She slumped into her chair at the thought of it.


    "Susan, you haven''t told me if you''ll ept me," Chance probed stubbornly.


    Just as Susan was about to reply to him, everybody''s mobile phone started to beep suddenly, so all


    of them checked their mobile phones.


    In thepany chat group, the almost elusive CEO Julian Shaw sent a message all of a sudden. It


    was only a short sentence.


    "Starting from today onwards, any courtyard between employees is forbidden!" 6


    Susan was speechless. Given the ring typo in that sentence, one could imagine how agitated


    CEO Shaw was!


    "Starting from today onwards, any courtships between employees are forbidden!" Julian corrected


    the typo and resent the message in an instant.


    "Huh? No dating?"


    "Does he need to be so brutal?"


    The atmosphere among the employees was instantly somber.


    Chance was also dumbfounded as he felt that the new rule was rted to him.


    It should not be...After all, what did he do?


    Did this stem from the fear of affecting their work performance?


    Chance felt depressed, but Susan found an immediate excuse. She smiled at him. "Sorry, I can’t


    promise you. It''s thepany’s policy that courting isn’t allowed."


    That reason was downright powerful and she said it with full conviction, rendering Chance Hamilton


    speechless.


    After Susan got the rock off her chest, she finally had the time to look at her design drawings.


    As an interior designer, she had encountered countless different difficult clients. However, the client


    this time was exceptionally difficult.


    This client was about to get married and wanted to design the new room herself.


    After asking about the client''s requirements anding up with numerous designs that were


    rejected every single time, today was the tenth time she was changing the design.


    "Susan, isn’t your client being too difficult?” the colleague beside her said.


    Susan sighed. "I''ve got no choice. The client is always right.”


    Then, she started to amend the design.


    Susan amended the designs based on the client''s suggestion and sent the drawings over before the


    workday ended. She was packing her things to leave when the email popped up.


    It was that client.


    "No, this needs to be redesigned."


    Susan frowned unconsciously. She had just sent that email 10 seconds ago!


    In 10 seconds, the client already concluded that it had t o be redesigned?


    Susan could not help getting angry.


    Redesigning was a normal thing. However, in a mere 10 seconds, the client would not even be able


    to look at the design, yet she immediately requested for it to be redesigned. 2


    It was intentional.


    Susan was made of flesh and blood, so she had a temper too. As she was about to tell that client to


    look for other designers, another email came in.


    "Forget about it. Your ability is too limited. I’ll meet you for a discussion at 6 p.m. at Meet Cafe near


    your office!"


    She thought about it and replied, "Okay."


    Since the client had suggested that, Susan agreed to meet once. If the designs still needed frequent


    amendments, then she could no longer continue.


    It was 30 minutes to 6 p.m., so Susan packed up and went downstairs.


    "Susan." To her confusion, Chance seemed to be waiting for her around the entrance of the


    company.


    "Hmm." Did he not understand her refusal?


    Chance gritted his teeth and said to her in a serious manner, "Susan, I''ve thought about this


    carefully. I really do like you! Although the employee satisfaction at Lanyard Construction is


    recognized as the best in the industry, if you are willing to be with me, I''ll voluntarily resign!"


    Susan was stunned. She thought that thepany''s policy of no courtship between employees


    would deter Chance.


    However, she never thought that he would rather change his job to pursue her. That kind of


    seriousness was worth a serious response.


    After thinking for a while, she said, "Chance Hamilton, I''m not lying. I really do have a husband."


    Susan was serious and Chance could not help being bewildered. “You...Do you mean you really are


    telling the truth?”


    "Yes, it''s true," Susan said sincerely, "We''ve been married for over a year."


    Chance clenched his teeth. "So, do you...you love him?"


    "Dove?" She was stunned, then she said with a peal ofughter, "That word is too extravagant.


    However, I’m satisfied with my life now and have no intention to change it."


    Chance’s eyes became dull, and after a while, he asked, "If...you weren’t married, would you have


    considered me?" He looked at Susan hopefully.


    Susan smiled. "You''re so good. Of course, I''ll consider you," she sincerely replied and Chance felt


    better.


    "Susan, I..." Chance seemed to have something to say.


    Suddenly, there was a snort as CEO Shaw walked past them without any expression.


    Susan was dumbstruck.


    Why was this man everywhere!? She felt like she could not make it past the next day!


    After bidding farewell to Chance, Susan received a call from Julian.


    His voice was cold as he instructed, "Walk forward for 1 km. I''ll wait for you by the roadside."


    Wait for her?


    Susan looked into the distance and saw Julian’s car faintly.


    "Aren''t youing over yet? Or do you still wanna go talk to your suitor? Susan, don''t forget you''re


    a married woman!" Julian’s voice contained a dash of anger. 2

    Susan could totally understand his rage. Although he didn''t like her, she was still his wife. Even


    based on a man’s ego, he would not be willing to see her getting close to another man.


    "I didn''t forget. I’ve made it very clear to Chance,” Susan immediately said.


    CEO Shaw snorted, and it was hard to tell if he was happy or not.


    "But...” Susan added stubbornly, "Today, a client has asked me to meet at Meet Cafe. I won''t be


    able to go home with you!”


    "Are you rejecting me?”


    Susan could feel that CEO Shaw was clenching his teeth on the other side. She quickly smiled to


    please him. "No, no, but I have already promised the client..."


    There was silence, then Julian coldly said, "Susan, I’m giving you ast chance. Are you going to


    come into


    the car?"
