Chapter 301 A Twist of Fate (1) Not Attractive Enough

"So, you mean you still love Charles and you don't love Oscar?" Susan guessed.

"Nope. My point is, from now on, I'll love myself more." Hannah uttered the words one by one.

Susan stared at Hannah and thought it didn't sound like something Hannah would say. As far as she knew Hannah, she was a girl who would be devoted to love with heart and soul once she fell in love with someone.

"What about you?" Hannah didn't want to talk more about it. Actually, she didn't want to figure out the relationship between Oscar and her. Or maybe she just refused to admit it.

"What about your marriage now?" she asked.

"What else can it be!" Susan rolled her eyes and said, "It just can't be worse!"

"You and Manuel have spent much time together and you still didn't hit it off? Nothing?"

"Oh, come on! Hit it off? You're freaking me out. Every day we spend no more than half an hour together."

Hannah frowned.

"Yeah. Manuel stays in his room all the time. When I was jobless, I usually had fun at night and slept in the daytime. We didn't have the same timetable, so we couldn't see each other a lot." Gosh! She simply didn't have a same timetable as the normal people, OK?

"I've got a job now. But Manuel is still sleeping when I leave for work in the morning. And he's returned to his room when I come home from work." said Susan.

Sometimes, she just couldn't tell whether she was avoiding Manuel or Manuel was avoiding her. She even wondered who exactly had been forced to get married. Somehow, she felt Manuel was more disgusted with their marriage.

Was it possible that Manuel didn't love her? He married her only to take Phillips Bank? Damn it! She knew it! She just knew Manuel and Justine were up to no good.

"Manuel should have broken the ice first." Hannah said slowly, thinking it was about time to talk to Manuel and point out his problems.

"Huh, a man like him, I bet he'll definitely die alone." Susan concluded.

Hannah didn't comment on her conclusion. At the moment, the waiters began serving the dishes.

"Want some beer? I've been depressed all day long." Susan suggested.

Hannah didn't say no. So, they were eating and drinking beer over meal. Jimmy had dinner with them, but he ate very quietly without saying much.

"Easy on the beer. Don't get drunk." Hannah told Susan.

"No worries. I know myself and I won't get drunk again. I'll absolutely kill myself if I get drunk and go to wrong room again."

"What? You got drunk and went to the wrong room before?" Hannah was curious.

"Yep. It was the day of Cooper Group's anniversary, and I got drunk. As a result, I went to Manuel's room by mistake. Fuck! It still makes me sick when I think of it now." "Did you have sex with him?" Hannah asked bluntly.

Susan got blushed instantly and retorted, "No! Hell no! How could I have sex with him? I would have killed myself if I had sex with him! I swear it."

"It could only prove that you're not attractive enough." Hannah simply taunted her.

Hearing it, Susan was shocked with her eyes widely open.

"Don't you think so? You two were alone in the same room and slept in the same bed. But you two literally slept without having sex or making out. I even thought Manuel didn't touch you at all for the whole night. Don't you think you are not attractive to him at all?"

Susan was choked with Hannah's words. In fact, she didn't think much on it. But she thought it over and had to admit that Hannah's words made sense.

She slept tight that night but she could still feel it if something had happened. And she kept the same position when she woke up the next morning. She was still lying on Manuel's chest but he still turned his face away. Obviously, he disliked and avoided her. Shit! Manuel must aim at her family properties only!

"Did you have sex with Oscar?" Susan asked all at once.

Hannah didn't expect that question and didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to explain to Susan that she still didn't have sex with Oscar though they lived under one roof and slept in the same bed. "Of course you did. Normally, sex is mostly about men. I bet a man like Oscar must be very good in bed." Susan commented.

Hannah couldn't take it any more. She believed Susan would go into the sex details if they continued with this topic. So, Hannah changed the topic once again. Fortunately, Susan didn't insist and got off-topic easily, then they talked something else.

They left the restaurant at 8pm. Susan had some beer and couldn't drive under the influence. So Hannah dropped her off first.

"Have a sound sleep tonight. Work hard tomorrow." Hannah advised her when she drove Susan back to the gate of her apartment.

"OK. You're acting like my father."

"But you don't listen to your father."

Well, that was true.

"I gotta go. Good night."

"Night night."

Hannah left.

Susan watched the rear lights of their car. Somehow, she thought Hannah had become very tough and strong, looking like she could live very well on her own. On the contrary, she couldn't stand being alone and lonely at all.

She received a call while she turned around to go home, "Susan, I haven't seen you in the club for long. The girls are having fun here. Come join us!"

"It's too late..."

"Hey! Nightlife just began, OK?"

"I've gotta work tomorrow."

"You're working in your father's company. So, what's the big deal of it? Come on! It's been ages. We all miss you."

"I'll see you guys on weekend." Susan rejected.

"So, are you gonna make yourself a good wife to your dear husband now?" The girl made fun of her on the phone. "Come off it. I just don't feel like going. I had a long day today."

"Annie said you and Manuel were in love at college back then. Now you're just getting back together..."

"Shut the hell up!" Susan was furious and said, "Damn it. Where are you girls? I'll be right there."

She just couldn't bear to hear anyone say that she loved Manuel.

"Same place. We'll be waiting for you." The girl had reached her purpose and looked very evil.

Susan hung up the phone abruptly and hailed a cab to go to the club.

In the club, the girl, who had called Susan, told Martina, "Susan will be right here."

"Make her take it later." Martina handed a pill to the girl and said, "You'll get what you want when it's done."

"OK." The girl said without hesitation.

Martina smiled coldly and thought it was so easy to bribe Susan's fair-weather friends. She was gonna wait and see how badly Susan was gonna be tortured in the trap. She believed she could surely break Susan and Manuel up so that she could have Manuel sooner or later. Manuel was hers and he belonged to her only.
