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

Chapter 241 Seth Leeds At The Bottom Of The Food Chain

Seth Leeds devoured the food eagerly without taking care of his image. Jacob Shelby took a disdainful glance at him and then began tasting the food slowly.

Jacob assumed the mannerism of food tasting. He took a small bite and then voiced his opinion, "This is delicious."

He tasted another course and said, "This is tasty too."

Then, another course.

"Hmm, still delicious."

Susan Shelby could not help smiling through her pursed lips. "Jacob, have more if it’s good."

Then, Susan began tasting the food in excitement too.

The corners of Julian’s lips twitched involuntarily as h e watched the three of them.

He sought help from Jacob and Seth and his effort was futile. These two people were purely here for the sake of the food.

The woman Susan was not focused on the task either.

She cared about eating only.

Perhaps, Julian's gaze was overly resentful. Susan blinked and looked at him innocently. "Julian, it's true that every course is really scrumptious!"

These 100 courses were all signature dishes prepared meticulously by the top executive chefs in the world. The quality of these courses was definitely top-notch whether in taste, appearance, or smell.

Julian raised an eyebrow. He was about to say something when Susan acted in a pettishly charming manner. "Julian, you can make the decision, I'll take care of the eating part.”

Watching Susan behaving like a little lady, Julian immediately gave in. "Enjoy the meal, all three of you.

I shall decide on the courses."

"You're the best." Susan cheered and then she began feasting jubilantly.

Julian took an affectionate glance at her and then tasted the first course.

"Foie gras with caviar. The texture is not fine enough, change it to top-grade Friedrichs Lumpfish Caviar.”

"This is okay, reserve it."

"This is not suited for the local taste buds, reject."

"Good job on the cocktail meatball, keep it but have the chef beautify its design." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Julian tasted the courses one by one with someone assigned specially to record his opinion on the side.

The wedding feast would be serving about twenty local courses and ten international courses. However, texture and taste must be suited to the local tastes

because the guests would be mostly local too.

Julian had a very sensitive tongue. Even if there was a slight issue in the meal, he would be able to detect it.

Especially when it was his and Susan’s wedding feast, Julian was nitpicking in an effort to strive for perfection.

Julian continued the food tasting while the three foodies over there were already full from the meal. They took a seat somewhere else and chatted away.

"Jacob, how's everything with the system development?” Susan asked while burping.

Speaking of the system, Jacob could not help smiling." The progress is really good. It should be almost done i n another week. However, your wedding is about to take place soon, Susan. I plan to defer the work for this week and focus on helping you to arrange for the marital affairs."

"It's fine actually. Julian has already made the arrangements and there's nothing much that needs m y participation," Susan said smilingly.

Jacob’s gaze softened. He shook his head and said," This is different."

The people of this country had always prioritized ceremonies. Even though Julian and Susan were already legally married, he would always feel like something was missing without a wedding.

Now that Susan was pregnant and Julian was making arrangements for a wedding, Jacob could finally feel like he was about to marry Susan off.

He was well aware that he was not much help, but as a n elder, he wanted to be with his sister who was about to get married at the very least.

"Yet...” Susan wanted to say something still.

Seth had already interrupted the conversation mischievously. "Susan! We've been programming the system for so long that mushrooms are going to grow o n our heads soon. Since you’re going to get married to Young Master Shaw anyway, let us seize the opportunity to slack for a few days." 1

Since Seth had already said so, Susan did not try to persuade anymore but agreed with a smile.

While they chatted leisurely, Julian had already tasted the courses briefly and eliminated 53 courses, leaving 47 courses as reserve.

"Include these 20 courses on the wedding feast menu. The remaining 27 chosen courses, have the chefs make some slight adjustments according to my opinion. Bring it to me for me to choose again when the adjustments have been made," said Julian as he wiped his mouth gracefully.

"Yes." The assistant hastily dispatched Julian's opinion.

Julian got up and walked over to see Susan and the others chatting joyously.

Julian pulled a long face and walked over to pull up Seth.

"What are you doing, what are you doing.” Seth was having fun engaging in the conversation when he was suddenly pulled up by Seth. He could not help staring at Julian in despair.

"Stay away from Susie!" Julian grunted coldly and tossed Seth to the side while he took a seat next to Susan, pleased.

Seth could not help feeling speechless. "Do you have t o be so narrow-minded?"

"If that's your wife in her place, you’ll be narrowminded too." Julian took a side glance at him.

Seth glared at Julian for a long while. Then he muttered, "You obviously know that I don't have a wife yet and you choose to bully a single man like me."

Julian pretended not to hear that and asked Susan," What are you talking about? You look so happy."

Susan chuckled and said, "Seth was telling me about the funny things that happened when they were developing the system. Julian, their system is almost ready. By then, you must help promote it."

"That's for sure." Julian felt rather astonished. "It's ready so soon?"

Susan had no idea that Jacob and Seth were developing an epoch-making product, but he knew.

Once the system was developed in addition to Julian's help, it would not be an issue for them to land their first business deal with a local phone brand. They could even go one step further by leaving the country and using their system to compete against foreign brand flagship phones. 1

"Impressive right? Quick right?" Seth looked at Julian proudly.

"Why are you so self-conceited?" Jacob took a side glance at Seth. "Had you not always slowed me down, the system could've been completed even sooner.”

Seth was immediately rendered speechless.

He boasted that he was a genius programmer yet Jacob was the kind of person that would make a genius vomit blood from rage.

If two missions of almost equal difficulty were assigned to both of them to complete individually, Jacob would have already completed it and Seth would have just begun and in the end, he would’ve needed Jacob's help to complete it.

Alas, Seth's sense of self-respect as a genius was swaying unsteadily from the crushing blow delivered by Jacob for the past few months that they worked together.

"Right, right, right. You're handsome so anything you say is right!" said Seth in despair.

"You’re a visionary." Jacob nodded in all apparent

seriousness.

"Gah!" Seth immediately slumped down on the sofa as if he was having a mental breakdown.

"Be gentle, the sofa is very expensive. You might ruin i t," Julian said casually.

Seth wanted to cry. "Susan, your husband is bullying m e!"

Susan said piteously, "It's obvious you are bullying my sofa." 1

Seth said,"..."

Oh oh oh oh, even Susan had followed the bad example.

He did not want to live anymore.
