Chapter 106 Jealous
"Hello, everyone. I''m the judge in charge of the first few rounds of the designpetition this time."
Sheldon Parsons appeared all refined and cultured." During the evaluation process, I''ll be upholding
the fair, just, and open principles and I''ll never bother with anyone who isn''t capable. The sketches
you’ve submitted will be disyed openly to the public when I''m done with the evaluation process.
This way, everyone can see if my evaluation is fair. If you feel that there are any unfair parts, I
wee you to propose your query."
Sheldon''s speech was magnanimous in bearing. Everyone could tell that if Sheldon were to simply
choose low quality work, he would be tarnishing his own reputation as well.
"Does anyone have any questions regarding my speech earlier?” asked Sheldon.
Everyone shook their heads.
Sheldon nodded smilingly. "In that case, I shall announce the theme for the first round. The interior
design theme for this round is ''mysterious''. The time period given will be three days. After three
days, everyone is required to hand in your design sketch in unison and I’ll be announcing the result
within two days."
Mysterious?
Susan Shelby could not help frowning.
It seemed that the theme was rather difficult.
However, it was difficult for her so it was simrly difficult for the rest too.
As long as everyone was on the same starting point, she was fearless.
"Oh, the theme is mysterious. How do I make the interior design mysterious?” said Chance
Hamilton in despair as he walked the outside.
"I have no idea either," Susan chuckled. "Let''s think it through slowly."
"I suppose that is the only thing we can do."
As they were chatting, Lily Chainwest grunted coldly once as she walked past them.
Then, she said with a mocking expression, "Why don’t both of you go home first to your mothers if
you don''t know what to do? I''m set on getting first ce in thispetition."
"Let''s wait and see.” Susan only replied with those four words nonchntly to Lily''s provocation.
Lily was ring at her with an even more unpleasant gaze. She stared at Susan coldly before
saying, "Then let''s just wait and see."
As she was speaking, she twisted her hip once and left in her ten-centimeter high heels.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Walking on such high heels and she hasn''t sprained her ankle either," muttered Chance
softly.
Susan chuckled. She was about to speak when she suddenly heard someone scream aloud. It was
Lily who had truly sprained her ankle.
Chance was dumbstruck with bewilderment instantly.
"Heh, since when did you pick up the skill of a jinx?” Susan could not refrain herself from asking.
Chance rubbed his chin and said in all apparent seriousness, "I''ve just discovered my gift recently
too. I still need to practice more from now on."
Susan wasughing at his humor when her phone suddenly rang.
Susan picked up the phone.
"Susie.” Julian''s deep voice came from the other end o f the call. "Do you miss me?"
Susan could not help blushing. "You''re done with work?"
"I just came out of a meeting.” Julian continued to speak, "I thought about you as soon as I came
out."
Susan blushed even more. "I thought we just talked on the phone this morning?"
"How can a call be enough? Susie, I really want to fly back to you immediately," said Julian softly.
Susan felt her heart beating rapidly. She pressed her lips tightly and said softly, "I''m going to hang
up now. It''s not convenient for me to talk, I''m with someone.” 1
From the side, Chance eavesdropped on the conversation and chuckled before saying, "Susie, is
that your husband? There’s nothing inconvenient. Go o n with the call.”
The other end of the call quieted down immediately upon hearing Chance’s voice.
The quietness felt like the calm before the storm.
Susan could not help letting out a cough. "Uh..."

"Susan Shelby!" Julian spoke through his clenched teeth, "Why do I feel like I''m hearing Chance''s
voice!"
"Hmm... He''s in the finals too and we bumped into each other," said Susan.
"Hmph! It seems like you’re rather reckless when I''m not around.” Julian grunted coldly.
She was meeting her suitor.
He wondered if he had spoiled this woman so much that she was overly bold now.
"It''s a coincidence, it''s a coincidence," said Susan.
"Coincidence is not an excuse. You’re not permitted to speak to him if you bump into him next time.
Moreover, you’re not allowed to be near to him within the range of ten meters," said Julian in a
domineering manner.
"Stop fooling around.” Susan whispered, "I''m going to call you backter."
As she was speaking, she hung up the call.
An incredulous look shed past Julian''s eyes as he listened to the disconnect tone.
This woman...had actually hung up his call?
For Chance?
Sh*t! He wondered if he could fly back to her now?
However, Julian still suppressed the jealousy forcibly upon remembering the project that was about
to bepleted soon.
He would deal with this womanter when he was back.
"Susie, is that your husband?" asked Chance out of curiosity.
"Hmm." Susan nodded with a look of embarrassment i n her eyes.
"Your rtionship is doing pretty good huh," said Chance with a slightlyplicated expression.
Even though he was well aware that they could never b e together, he still could not help falling for
Susan.
However, he suddenly felt that it was really time for him to give up on that thought when he saw
Susan''s shy yet sweet appearance when she was on the call earlier.
"It’s okay," said Susan smilingly.
Chance felt envious in his heart. He said softly, "I wish both of you to be blessed with happiness."
His tone sounded sincere so Susan replied in all apparent seriousness as well, "Thank you."
Susan and Chance chatted for a while before they bid farewell to each other and left.
"Mysterious." Susan pondered on the theme and took a seat in front of theputer as soon as
she got home.
It was easy for one to rte the ''mysterious'' theme to novelty designs. However, it was not good
enough to just adopt novelty designs. The art of interior design prioritized the convenience of living
as the first element.
As a result, one should build on the foundation offort before adding something else.
Susan began bustling about after she confirmed her idea.
Susan was still busy with work when Julian''s video call came at night.
Susan connected the video call and said straightforwardly, "Julian, I''m sketching the crucial part
now, so go on and y by yourself for a while first."
As she was speaking, she minimized the video call and continued with her work.
On the other side of the video call, Julian could not help clenching his teeth in rage.
He regretted his decision once again. Why did he have to sponsor that b*llsh*tpetition?
However, he had no choice but to yield in despair upon seeing Susan being fully engrossed.
Who''s fault was it that he loved Susan and who''s fault was it that Susan loved design?
It had already been a long time by the time Susanpleted her tasks.
Susan stretched her body and heard a deep voice.
"Are you done with work?"
Susan was stunned for a moment. She hastily switched over to the video call.
"I’m sorry. I was too engrossed earlier that I had forgotten to do the video call with you," said Susan
apologetically.
"It''s okay." Julian raised an eyebrow. "I have a few documents to handle coincidentally.”
He was dressed in a loose bathrobe and he had a ss of wine in his hand that he sipped slowly.
His eyes that were slightly evil-looking originally exuded a feeling of carefree and easygoingness
under the room lighting.
Susan suddenly blushed scarlet from watching him. What should she do when her husband was too
good looking? She felt rather restless from watching him online.
