The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 258: Road To Stardom

Suzy decided to accompany Jackson that day. Although it was Sunday, the man still had commitments he needed to fulfill. After his hour-long video conference, Jackson invited her to go out for a walk, although he specifically implied that it was more like her accompanying him to work.

Before going out, he asked her for a favor to put some concealer over his scars because he intended to do a secret inspection at a townhouse he recently acquired that was located in a high end, executive village. She gladly accepted his request and immediately started working on his face.

"Are you sure you'd rather go with me than see your sister's trial?" He asked as Suzy focused her attention on his face. She looked so serious as she applied makeup on his face.

"What for? The media will be providing us with the details of the trial anyway." She shrugged. "I only intend to see how it will end once the jury delivers their verdict."

Although she knew that Min Ah wouldn't spend the rest of her life behind bars, she knew Jackson would drag her younger sister's name to the mud, ruining her reputation. It was Jackson's way of punishing her and Suzy wasn't interested in convincing him to change his mind.

Once they were dressed in their disguises, with her sporting short brown hair and bluish green contact lenses, the two first drove to visit a shopping mall that Jackson owned. Suzy had been to this place before, but as a celebrity promoting her endorsements and projects, not as a casual shopper.

This big city was filled with skyscrapers, and the buildings nearly blocked her sight from seeing the sky. However, the shopping mall that the Wang family owned stopped at four stories. Despite that, the place was larger in terms of floor area compared to the nearby establishments.

Various people walked around them. Some were dressed in casual business suits, while others were in jeans and plain shirts. Suzy was glad that she came with Jackson today, because it had been a while since she went out without worrying of being swarmed by people and fans.

"Do you want to look around first?" Jackson asked, allowing her to hook her arm with his.

She beamed him a wide smile, which made Jackson hold his breath.

"You don't mind? Would you show me around?"

He shrugged as he led her inside the shopping mall, only releasing her for a moment to get past the security at the entrance. As soon as she was done, Suzy held his arm and smiled like an excited child that was promised her favorite doll.

"I'm just worried that your feet will hurt later." Jackson replied.

Ah. I know what you mean, love. That's why I chose to wear these flat comfy sneakers. I just want to understand how you run your business empire. Maybe I could learn a thing or two and use it in an appropriate role."

Jackson glanced at their twined arms then to her smiling face, his face unreadable. However, when it comes to Suzy, did he really have the heart to deny her of her request?

"Alright. Just make sure not to garner unwanted attention from others. I'd rather you enjoy your day off than attract other unsavory rumors about us."

Suzy hummed in agreement. Privacy while being in public wasn't something a celebrity like her could enjoy. She also understood that Jackson was merely concerned about her reputation and not because he didn't want to be seen with her.

Jackson opened the door of a fashion boutique and allowed her to step inside first. Suzy blinked as she read the name of the shop. Since when did Butterfly Chrysalis open a branch here? She was sure that this shop wasn't here the last time she visited the place. She gaped at how massive the place was and how pretty the displayed dresses were. She went to the first stall of dresses, marveling at a red dress that caught her attention.
