After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 369 A Sweet Visit (1)
"I don't wanna waste my breath with you!" Charles said in a low and impatient voice. Obviously, he'd been annoyed by Hannah's words but simply didn't want to be seen through.
"I'm just calling to tell you to learn a good lesson from this project. If you keep acting against me, I swear to God that I won't let go at that! Don't blame me for being ruthless then!" he said straightforwardly. So, he just called to brag about himself and threaten her.
But Hannah was quite calm. After all, to her, Charles was as silly as a clown. Then she said coldly, "Charles, watch out! You'll go to hell and you'll be sorry for what you've said."
"What the hell did you mean? Are you cursing me!" Charles got mad in a second.
"It won't be fun enough if you go to hell too soon." Hannah uttered the words one by one. Saying it, she hung up the phone abruptly, thinking that she would waste her time by talking with this man for one more second.
Hannah put down her phone, cleaned up her desk randomly and then went to Rose's office. Rose was a little surprised to see her showing up in the office suddenly.
"Ms Hannah." she stood up instantly and addressed her respectfully.
"I'll be on vacation for one week."
"What?" Rose was shocked to hear that.
"I'm leaving the office now. I'll be back at work next Monday."
"Ms Hannah, are you..." Rose asked with anxiety. In fact, everyone else thought she was desperate.
"Try not to disturb me this week. Wait for me to come back unless it's urgent."
"OK, MS Hannah..."
Hannah told her so and was about to leave.
"Ms Hannah." Rose stopped her immediately.
"What's up?" Hannah looked at her.
"Any work arrangements?" Rose asked. She remembered Hannah had given them tons of work when she left for vacation last time. But she felt it strange that Hannah left so hastily this time and even told her not to disturb her.
"Just finish the work in hand. That's all." Harrison said lightly, "We'll get down to other works later when I come back."
Rose said nothing and watched her leaving. She just couldn't understand why Hannah had been simply destroyed by a project. And she found it hard to believe!
Hannah had booked the flight ticket to River Town. She packed her stuff and left with Jimmy.
She sat in the first-class cabin and scrolled through her phone randomly before the plane took off. She was checking today's hot news. If she'd guessed right, the bid of today would be the headline. As expected, she opened the news APP and the relevant notifications popped out immediately.
'Sawyer Group Win the 10 billion project of South Bay New Town! What a surprise!'
'Hannah Might Answer for Cooper Group's Great Losses!'
'Sawyer Group: They Attach More Importance to Public Welfare on the Project of South Bay New Town, Instead of Profits.'
'Sawyer Group Implies Cooper Group's Flippant Attitude towards Work Leading to Their Failure in the Bid.'
Hannah clicked almost every headline and read almost all the news. Undoubtedly, Sawyer Group had stolen the spotlight in this project. After all, any twist could be a hashtag.
Hannah also read comments, saying that Sawyer Group's stock prices had hit the limit up because of its success of the project. Besides, there was someone analyzing at great length that Sawyer Group competed with Cooper Group for the bid only out of the conflicts between the two families, and concluding that Charles must be more capable than Hannah, in spite of his moral standing.
Hannah laughed coldly, wondering if Charles had also tried to whitewash what he'd done through the success this time. She turned off her phone, not because she didn't want to read more on it, but because the plane was gonna take off. And she was cool as usual after she turned off the phone.
She wasn't mad at the Sawyers for disdaining her family, and she wasn't mad at the people for saying Charles was more capable than her, either. She just took it as a joke.
It took five hours to fly to River Town, a total strange city. Hannah had never been here before. Neither had Jimmy. They went out of the airport with their luggage. It was already 6 pm. Hannah knew Oscar's place because he had once sent her the location of the apartment after he settled down there, and he also said she was welcomed to come and catch him cheating.
She thought it over and wondered whether Oscar was baiting her, or just implying that she should come to visit him. She admitted that Oscar was scheming enough.
They hailed a cab from the airport and headed for Oscar's apartment. Very soon, they arrived at the department compound where Oscar was living.
She couldn't deny that her heart was leaping, and simply couldn't help to get excited when she thought she could see Oscar soon. She even started to imagine how Oscar would react when she suddenly show up in his place!
Was he gonna be as excited as her?
But Hannah must stop herself from thinking too much now, otherwise, she was afraid her heart would pop out. She wheeled the suitcase and came to the door of his room with Jimmy.
Hannah rang the doorbell, and waited for a few seconds. Apparently, no one answered the door. She rang the doorbell again, and still no one came for them.
"Shall we call Mr Wells?" Jimmy suggested.
"Nope." Hannah said to turn him down. She still wanted to surprise Oscar.
"Are we gonna wait at the door?" Jimmy asked.
Hannah nodded her head and saw a coded lock on the door. She thought of it and inputted a serial of numbers. Then she heard it saying "The door is unlocked."
Hannah was taken aback. So was Jimmy.
"You know the password, Mrs Wells?" Jimmy said carelessly.
"I just guessed." Answered Hannah.
Then they went in Oscar's apartment.
Hannah knew his apartment well since she had video chats with Oscar quite often. She moved her suitcase to Oscar's bedroom naturally and told Jimmy, "Jimmy, you live in this room." She pointed to the next-door room while saying.
"No. I'm not living here." Jimmy shook his head.
"Why not?" Hannah was surprised to hear it.
"Mr Wells won't allow it." Jimmy said bluntly. "That's not true." Hannah said instantly.
"He'll take me as the third wheel."
Hannah was lost for words.
"I'll stay in a hotel nearby, Mrs Wells. Call me if you want to go out. I'll come pick you up." Saying it, Jimmy left with his luggage.
Anyway, Hannah felt sorry for him, but she chose to say nothing when she saw him leaving without hesitation.
She sat down on the couch in the living room and waited for Oscar. Normally, Oscar came back at around 9 pm. There were two more hours to go, but she was bored.
Then she picked up the phone and called Susan. She saw Susan's missed calls when she landed but she didn't have time to call her back yet.
As soon as she was put through, she heard Susan screaming on the other end, "I'm gonna call the police if you don't call me back now!"
Susan's voice was so loud that she could wake the dead!
