Chapter 548 An Encounter?

Chapter 548 An Encounter?

Inside the car, Hannah had been contemplating.

Then she got a call from Theodore, "Hannah, Sarah has left the Sawyer Manor."

"Is there anyone with her?"

"Martina."

"Only Martina?"

"Yes."

"Where are they going?"

"I don't know. I will have my man tailing them. I will call you back."

"Okay." Hannah nodded.

Then she said to Jimmy, "Take me to Celina."

"Yes, ma'am."

Half an hour later, Theodore called back, "They are at the Symphony Kitchen. You coming over here?"

"Of course, I gotta talk to Sarah, alone."

Then she dressed herself and dialled Manuel's number, "Hey, Manuel."

"Have you finished your work?"

"Not yet."

"I will be waiting for you at Symphony Kitchen."

"Okay." Manuel didn't hesitate to nod.

After saving the files, he turned off the laptop and left the office.

He had been working flexibly. Thus he often forgot about the time while working.

He walked into the elevator.

But on his way downstairs, Susan happened to come in.

She looked rather displeased whenever encountering him.

Manuel simply ignored her arrival.

But meanwhile, he was a bit surprised to notice her quitting time was getting much later than usual.

After a second thought, she must be waiting for Henry, he reckoned.

But Manuel didn't intend to ask further questions.

Standing next to him, Susan felt uneasy.

She worked overtime this time just because of boredom.

Commonly speaking, Manuel had been working late until 10 PM. But he left at six today, which Susan found surprising.

Then Manuel's phone started ringing.

He took a look at it and answered, "I will be there in fifteen minutes."

"I don't mean to prompt you to hurry up. Instead, I need you to spruce up a little."

"What?"

"You gotta take advantage of your charm."

"Okay." Said Manuel.

After hanging up the phone, he noticed Susan's gaze.

"What's the matter?" he remained cold to Susan.

Meanwhile, his smile also faded away within a blink.

"Going for a date?" asked Susan.

Manuel didn't answer.

He didn't consider it necessary to respond.

"What's your relationship with Martina?" Susan asked curiously.

She felt like they were dating.

However, sometimes she didn't think so.

"We are just friends." Answered Manuel.

He didn't mean to make a declaration about his relationship with Martina. Instead, he tried to avoid trouble.

As far as he knew about Susan, she would keep persevering unless she got a clear answer.

"You're not dating her?"

"NO."

"So who's calling?"

As soon as the door was open, he walked out of the elevator.

His impatience and indifference to Susan appeared rather conspicuous.

Susan gritted angrily.

'Why the hell should I care?' she thought to herself.

When Manuel arrived, Hannah had been waiting for him at the portal.

"I have dressed up in a suit. Is that okay?" asked Manuel.

Actually, he didn't get himself changed on purpose.

He had been dressing the same every single day.

"Okay, you look good." Hannah nodded.

He looked exactly dashing and refined in a suit coupled with his statuesque figure.

Then Hannah took the initiative to walk arm-in-arm with him.

Manuel was a bit stunned.

"Hey, I don't mean to. But I need you to accord yourself with my plan." Hannah explained.

After composing himself, Manuel nodded.

Then they walked into the restaurant.

A waiter led them to a table next to the window respectfully, while Sarah and Martina were sitting nearby.

Both of them hadn't noticed them yet.

Martina reserved the greatest friendliness to Sarah. According to Charles, Sarah was considered the saviour of the Sawyers, who deserved the greatest respect. Never should she do whatever she wanted to Sarah until Charles managed to dominate the situation. But at this moment, she got to ingratiate herself with Sarah.

That was why both Martina and her mom listened to whatever Sarah requested.

When Sarah simply blurted out that she wanted some Chinese food, Martina immediately took her to the best-known Chinese restaurant in Kensbury. The conversation between them sounded rather joyful. "You have no idea how much my brother falls for you. You know what? Before you came to Kensbury to announce your relationship with him, he always stared at your photos on his phone. I have never seen him so obsessed with any other girls."

"Really?" Sarah tried to stay humble.

Ever since she moved into the Sawyer Manor, she, as a spoiled girl from the Collins, had been looking down upon both Loretta and Martina.

She took every respect from them for granted.

"Of course it's true!" Martina hurried to say, while she greatly despised Sarah.

As ambitious as Charles had been, he would never truly fall for any other ladies.

The ultimate power was what he truly fought for. And it would be doomsday for Sarah as soon as Charles achieved his goal.

"But he used to fall in love with Hannah, didn't he?"

"Are you joking? Charles has never loved her. If it weren't engagement set by grandpa, he would never have started a relationship with Hannah! You're the only beloved one of my brother." Martina faked a serious tone.

"Don't you think your brother falls for the power of my family?" Sarah joked.

Stunned, Martina noticed that she might not be as stupid as she expected.

She hurried to explain, "Sarah, I bet you can tell that Charles has been nice to you. I am sure you know the answer better than anyone else of us."

Sarah seemed rather satisfied upon hearing that, "Of course, I know he truly loves me."

"Just rest assured. You don't need to doubt his obsession with you. It's such a pity that he got something else to do and thus he can't dine with you tonight. But he had specially told me to take good care of you. Check the message he sent me. I am so jealous!" while speaking, Martina showed her those messages from Charles on her phone.

Of course, all messages had been specifically fabricated.

After taking a few glances, Sarah was pleased.

Martina couldn't help sneering.

What a stupid girl.

While speaking, they suddenly noticed a woman walking past them.

Martina took a glance out of instinct.

Actually, sometimes ladies would appeal to each other out of the minds of rivalry.

When an attractive lady showed up, she would inevitably catch the eyes of others. However, as soon as Martina noticed who was walking past, her face turned sulky. It was Hannah!

Why was she wearing so coquettishly today?
