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

Chapter 129 Cave Expedition

Susan Shelby could not help raising an eyebrow at her. "Why are you screaming like I want to stay in the same room as you?"

"You..." Queeny Lewis immediately glared at her in embarrassment and rage.

"Alya, let's share a room." Susan disregarded Queeny and looked toward the other round-faced colleague right away.

The colleague named Alya Rogers had a round face just like her name. She was always on the first line of gossiping on normal days.

Although she was albeit a nosey person, she knew her bottom line very well. She would never hurt another person casually at the very least. Thus, Susan always maintained a rather good relationship with her.

"Sure..." Alya was about to accept the offer when a crisp voice was heard.

"What’s going on over here?" Charlotte Jenkins walked over without anyone's notice.

"Ms. Jenkins." Queeny exercised some self-control upon seeing Charlotte.

Charlotte smiled and her eyes glimmered. "Did I hear someone quarreling earlier?"

Queeny hastily answered, "Ms. Jenkins, it's not that I want to quarrel on purpose but I can't stand Susan as a person. I don't want to stay in the same room as her."

"You’re acting like I can stand you," said Susan straightforwardly.

Charlotte looked at Queeny and the smile on her lips grew more sinister. She said smilingly, "The accommodation allocation has already been arranged. The rest of the people aren't asking to switch

so it's not very appropriate for just the two of you to switch either."

As she was speaking, she shot a glance at Susan." Susan, I saw you coming out of Julian's car earlier. However, you can't possibly feel like you deserve the special treatment of switching rooms just because of that, right?”

"Ms. Jenkins, it was Queeny who made a fuss about this issue. Susie didn't complain at all since the start." Alya could not refrain herself from defending Susan because she could hear how Charlotte was victimizing Susan with her words.

"Is that so?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "Why did Queeny make a fuss to switch rooms with her? She must have a reason for doing that too."

Charlotte dismissed the matter so lightly which infuriated Susan. "What are you trying to say here? Can I give you a slap first and then say that I must have slapped you for a reason too?"

Charlotte squinted her eyes. "You have a really sharp tongue. However, you don't deserve special treatment even if you have a sharp tongue. I won't give you permission to switch rooms. Otherwise, what's the point of the company having a system?"

"Fine then," said Susan coldly.

It was but a trifling matter yet it was suddenly exaggerated by Charlotte to this extent.

Susan was well aware that Charlotte was victimizing her on purpose. However, she was too lazy to argue with Charlotte now.

She would just need to spend one night with Queeny whom she would disregard.

"Very well." Charlotte smiled and turned around to leave in her high heels.

“Susie, is Charlotte victimizing you on purpose?” asked Alya out of curiosity.

It was just a trifling matter of switching rooms, but was her presence as the daughter of the Jenkins Corporation necessary?

Susan shook her head, but she did not elaborate further.

It snowed heavier and heavier. The group of people entered the allocated rooms in succession after the arrangements were made.

Susan and Queeny entered the room. They exchanged a glance before they each grunted coldly once. Then they turned around and refused to look at each other

anymore.

Queeny took out her phone and scrolled through her social media.

Susan found a pencil and paper in her backpack and began recalling the topography and scenery that she saw earlier.

One could not produce one's design irrespective of external circumstances in the interior design industry. It was only by combining one's idea and real situation that one would be able to produce an unmatched work.

Susan came up with a lot of new ideas in her mind after examining the site today. She needed to record these ideas down.

"Pretentious." Queeny teased her.

Susan disregarded her and continued to sketch.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Failing to get a reaction, Queeny turned her head to the side disgruntled before she continued to scroll through her social media.

The heavy snow held on for two to three more hours before it stopped.

Everyone headed to the outside to check when it stopped snowing while Susan continued to work incessantly upon drawing a new inspiration.

Queeny went out for a stroll. When she came back, she looked at Susan with a peculiar gaze.

"Susie, the snow has stopped. Why are you still staying in the room? Join us on the stroll." Chance Hamilton and Alya walked into the room in buoyant spirits.

"I'm not joining...” declined Susan.

"Let's go, let's go. The people from the Jenkins Corporation discovered a cave with extremely complicated structures. Everyone is making a clamor about going on a cave expedition now," said Alya. 2

"Cave expedition?" Susan could not help blinking innocently. "That sounds rather dangerous, doesn't it?"

"It’s fine. Someone from the Jenkins Corporation already explored the cave beforehand. They found a safe path in the midst of the confusing cave. We'll be fine if we follow the map." Chance chuckled and said, " The snow was so heavy that it would be hard to drive down from the mountain. We'll most likely be staying here tonight, so why not have some fun while we're at i t?"

"That’s right, that's right. Let's go together,” Alya chuckled.

"The cave expedition does sound quite interesting.” Queeny raised an eyebrow. "I'm going too!"

"Who asked you to join?" said Alya straightforwardly.

"I’m not joining you. Can't I go with the people from the Jenkins Corporation?" Queeny grunted coldly and left the room right away.

No one was bothered by her either.

Alya continued to pester Susan. "Also, I heard that there's a mural inside the cave. The pattern on the mural is worthy of our reference for the interior design. I brought a camera with me specifically to take photos of the mural."

"Mural?" Susan was still planning to decline originally yet her interest was piqued at the mention of the mural. "What kind of style is it?"

"It seems like this place used to be a rather ancient village with its own aesthetics design set. The mural i s a display of their unique aesthetics," said Chance.

"What else is there to hesitate about? Let’s go." Susan immediately stood up.

She had an intuition that the mural would perhaps be helpful for her interior design.

"Let’s go then. The people from the Jenkins Corporation are already waiting there," said Chance.

They walked outside together.

In the nearby area, the expedition team had already gathered.

There was a total of over twenty people in a formidable array that joined the expedition.

They looked more like they were traveling rather than heading for an expedition.

The leader from the Jenkins Corporation said,"

Everyone must follow the herd at all times upon entering the cave later. I know of an absolutely safe route so I'm capable of leading everyone out quickly. Moreover, the mural can be found on the safe path too. We must leave the place swiftly after taking a quick look. Otherwise, there isn't enough oxygen in the cave."

Soon afterward, the large group of people marched forward into the cave.

The sky darkened as soon as they entered the cave.

Everyone was given a torchlight in advance. Susan took out hers as well.

She shone the torchlight in all directions to check out the place curiously.
