Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 167

Inside her apartment, Suzan stared at the pregnancy test in her hand, heart pounding with excitement. Two bold red lines. She could hardly contain her joy.

Finally. She had done it.

After all her careful planning and anxious anticipation, her dream was coming true at last.

At first, Suzan wanted to call Mitchell right away and share the news. But almost immediately, she forced herself to calm down. She wasn’t sure how Mitchell would react to her pregnancy.

Lately, Mitchell’s attitude toward her had been hot and cold. Still, thanks to some subtle maneuvers on her part, things between them had improved somewhat.

But Suzan wasn’t taking any chances. She needed everything to go perfectly.

Her thoughts quickly turned to Adeline.

Suzan knew Adeline had always wanted a grandchild. If she found out Suzan was pregnant, she’d be over the moon.

Suzan decided she’d find a way to let Adeline know—casually, of course. But for now, she glanced at the clock. It was almost time for work. She hurried out the door and headed to the office.

Since the recent competition, Suzan had stepped away from the spotlight, but with a new collection in the works, her schedule was packed. As creative director, every sketch from the design team landed on her desk for review.

She offered feedback and suggestions, asserting her authority with confidence.

At the office, everyone now saw Suzan as the boss’s wife. After Effie’s resignation, Suzan all but ran the place.

The staff treated her with respect, partly because Mitchell seemed to accept Suzan’s takeover without protest. Naturally, everyone followed his lead.

Still, behind closed doors, employees whispered about the company’s future, convinced that E&M was heading for disaster. Mitchell had little understanding of design, and Suzan was hardly an expert herself. Worse, she liked to act superior, pretending to know more than she did, and her management style was autocratic. The staff agreed: it was only a matter of time before things fell apart.
