Chapter 618 Shift Love to Another Person

Susan hadn't imagined that she would be so busy. Manuel was like a workaholic as he worked from eight o'clock in the morning to midnight, and sometimes even all night. Susan had slept in Manuel's office for two nights. She thought she could no longer endure such busy work, and she would die from overwork if she went on like that, even if she was just sleeping in the office while Manuel was busy drawing up plans.

She must not work extra hours today no matter what happened, Susan thought to herself. So she rushed into Manuel's office and said, "I'm off work."

It was just 5:30, which was the quitting time.

Manuel cast a glance at the clock and nodded in approval.

Unexpectedly, Manuel readily agreed. Susan thought he would have not released her without a fight. And now she was kind of at a loss.

Standing still for a moment, Susan turned to leave. She in no way cared about Manuel's feelings. Or perhaps he was playing some tricks.

The door was closed. Manuel had a look at it and continued his work.

After an in-depth investigation, Manuel realized that Sway Bank resorted to every means to compete with Phillips Bank. The latter would lose its position in the market if there was any wrong strategic decision. Therefore, he couldn't ease off. He had to choose the best plan in a very short time, retain the regular customers and develop potential ones.

Susan went into her office and made her desk go off.

Staring at herself in the mirror, she found there was some acne on her face and dark circles under her eyes. That was awful, she thought. Then she called the beauty salon and made an appointment for a facial this evening.

Susan got out of her office happily and happened to see Henry at the gate. She was surprised that Henry went off so early while Manuel was still busy with his work.

Henry saw her too. Susan had worked overtime these days and declined Henry's invitations to dinner. There was not enough contact between them, so it appeared a bit abrupt at the moment. Susan quickened her pace and walked toward Henry.

"Henry, you got outta work early today."

"Uh-huh, and same early these days."

"Haven't you been busy recently?"

"Not really." Henry smiled resignedly. He thought he was undervalued by the company.

"Let's go for dinner tonight." Susan began.

She thought they became distant these days, and sometimes she even forgot she had a boyfriend. She used to think the world of Henry and now she deemed it necessary to give them back their former relationship.

"Sorry, I have an appointment with a client. I thought you are always busy these days. So..."

Henry felt a flicker of regret.

"It's okay. I'm going to the beauty salon. I've been exhausted from Manuel's work recently."

"Why do you have to follow him?" Henry asked abruptly.

Surprised, Susan thought that Henry seldom expressed his emotions before her although she knew he was unhappy with that.

"My father said..."

"It might be because of your father, but you also want to work with Manuel." Henry interrupted her.

Susan didn't know what to say at the moment since she was not sure about the answer.

Henry noticed that she was hesitating. After a short spell of silence, Henry said to her in a soft voice, "I don't mean to force you to do something. I'm just a bit jealous." Susan said nothing.

"All right, let's go. I'll see you in the car." Henry stretched out his hand to hold Susan's.

Susan's fingers moved slightly. Then she walked away together with Henry.

Edward had arranged a personal driver for her because Susan didn't want to drive. She suffered from the shadow of driving.

She fidgeted in the car, feeling unutterably depressed. Then she called Hannah.

"Hannah, I feel so depressed these days. I want to relax."

"What's wrong?" Hannah was also on her way home. She wanted to spend as much more time as she could with Oscar, so she went home as soon as she was off work. "Don't know. Perhaps because I'm heavily oppressed by Manuel."

Hannah laughed.

"What did he force you to do?"

"I've been working overtime for over half a month. Do you believe some acnes have erupted on my face?"

"It's some sort of endocrine imbalance."

"Our early, home late. How can I keep regular hours?"

"You didn't keep regular hours before, but there's no acne on your face."

"Hmm..." Susan could never outargue Hannah.

"You just need to satisfy your lust."

"What?"

"Everyone has sexual desire, and you just need sex."

"Oh my god, you did not just say that. Did you learn that from Oscar when you were flirting with him?"

"I'm just telling the fact." Hannah guided the conversation to another subject, "Did you sleep with Henry?" Susan looked wistful.

"No, we were quite busy."

"Do you feel something repressed?"

No, she just felt a bit lonely, Susan thought. She wondered why she encountered sexual inhibition at such a young age.

"What's the feeling of shifting love to another person?" Susan whispered suddenly.

"Well, one would feel sorry for the man that you loved. She would feel uncomfortable when the man came near her but was sorry to turn him down. She would not miss the man when he was absent; however, she would feel ill at ease when they got together, but just want to make up the lost time when they get together."

Susan felt tightness in her heart suddenly. She felt reluctant to acknowledge that she was changing her affection to another man.

"She would form an attachment to another man. She would still be attracted to him even if she knew she shouldn't. She would perform intentionally as she hates the man, but try her best to dutifully do the job that he asked her to do, seemingly a mission to her." Hannah continued.
