After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 379 Back to the Battlefield

Susan hung up the phone and handed it back to Manuel. She wondered when Hannah and Manuel had become close. She remembered that Hannah also didn't like Manuel. She couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it anymore. Hannah had changed so much anyway, and not just to Manuel.

She laid down to sleep. Actually, she was not too sleepy. It was the early pregnancy reaction that made her sick and she only felt comfortable in sleep. So she slept more than ever.

"Susan," Manuel suddenly called her.

Susan didn't say anything.

"I'm not what you think. I can do a lot and I have a company..."

"I wanna sleep." Susan interrupted him and Manuel stopped talking. He wondered how long it would take before Susan would let go of her prejudices. He also laid down, next to Susan, and moved closer to her, cuddling her.

Susan wanted to push him away for she hated him to be so close. But every time he came over, she took it naturally. Especially when he put his warms hands on her belly, she felt less uncomfortable.

Hannah came back to work the next day, and when she arrived at the office, everyone was a little surprised to see her. They all knew she would work today, but they were still surprised to see her. Because the whole company rumored that she was depressed because the lost of the project. And it only took her a week to recover.

Hannah ignored all of them and walked into her office directly. Rose followed in a hurry, "Ms. Hannah."

"Black coffee..." Hannah paused, "Black tea today."

"Okay." Rose nodded hastily. Now she was kind of sure that Hannah was just as usual.

"Got anything to say?" Seeing Rose didn't go, Hannah raised her eyebrows and asked.

Rose suddenly answered, "There is a board meeting at 10 o'clock. Mr chairman asked you to attend if you came back, and if you didn't there's no need to call you." "Remind me later."

"Yes." Rose was about to leave, but she thought twice and asked, "Ms Hannah, are you OK?"

Hannah seemed puzzled.

"The project..."

Hannah couldn't help chuckling and replied, "I can't feel better."

Her attitude made Rose feel confused.

"You can go now." Hannah waved her hand, and Rose didn't dare to ask more.

Hannah turned to her computer and was about to get back to work when the phone suddenly rang. She picked it up, "Hi, Manuel."

"I've emailed you what you asked for."

"So soon?" It was a complete surprise.

"Sawyer Group's firewall is not safe." Manuel said lightly.

'For a genius like you!' Hannah thought.

"Thanks." Said she.

"No problem."

"Manuel," Hannah suddenly spoke up as he was about to hang up, "I think you should show Susan your real self." She thought of Susan's disdain for Manuel last night.

"I tried to tell her but she refused to listen." Manuel didn't care and smiled, "Probably she won't believe me if I tell her."

"So you just let her misunderstand?"

"That's not bad." Manuel said, "If I tell her that the man who pays for her is me instead of her father, she may refuse to stay anymore. It's fine. I think Susan's attitude has changed a lot and I don't want to rush into it."

"I don't know what Susan did in her last life to have a wonderful husband like you."

Manuel was rendered shy. He spoke again after a few seconds, "Actually, yours are not bad."

"What?"

"Nothing." Manuel laughed and continued, "I'll take Susan to do a routine check in the hospital. Talk to you soon."

"OK, bye."

Hanging up the phone, Hannah was aware that Manuel had her work done so early because of the day he would spend with Susan. At the thought of it, she felt so excited for Susan. But Manuel's words reminded her of Oscar. Hannah's expression altered because she thought of that guy suddenly. And she didn't expect that she couldn't fall asleep when she was back in her soft bed at home. Somehow, she missed Oscar's hard bed in River Town.

Hannah restrained herself from overthinking. She turned her eyes to her computer, logged on to her email and downloaded the file sent by Manuel, and then checked carefully each of Sawyer Group's financial expenses.

Suddenly she noticed a record of a fund allocation to South Bay New Town, which meant they had already started the project. She reckoned that Charles must be afraid that there would be some change in the project so he had set about it so soon.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Hannah attended the board meeting on time. As expected, her attendance attracted the attention of most people. Some were whispering, even loud and clear enough for her to hear.

"I thought she wouldn't come back to work. A single difficulty can knock her down. She doesn't deserve to be a temporary leader." A director said sarcastically.

"Ability? Intelligence? That's pure luck. Once she lost the luck, she turns to what she is."

"She should thank her dad, or how could she get that position?"

The boardroom was filled with noise, while Hannah was composed as if she hadn't heard anything. Wayne kept observing Hannah's expression and he couldn't help admiring her calmness.

"Silence." Miguel couldn't stand gossips about her daughter anymore. And the boardroom quieted down after that.

"The main purpose of today's meeting is to take stock of the company's income and expenses in recent times. First, the finance department will give you a recent report."

The head of the finance department walked up to the podium for the report, and the others listened attentively.

It took about an hour for the representative to report all the turnover and expenses. Overall, it was positive and most people were satisfied until a voice said, "It's all internal analysis. Yes, we did a great job, but what's our advantage in the market? I think that's the only measurement of the condition of a company!"
