Chapter 620 They Look Like an Old Couple

Susan knew about Manuel's character. He seldom got into a temper at work, while he was very strict about work. No matter who dragged his feet on a project, he would be punished severely by Manuel. Therefore, Callie was quite anxious because she had lost the data.

"Of course, you can." Susan agreed.

"Thank you, Miss Phillips."

After a little while, Callie phoned Susan again to ask for the password. Susan told her several ones coming into her mind, but it turned out that all of them were just wrong. Susan was confused, and Callie was so anxious that she was close to tears.

That was queer indeed! Susan remembered one of the passwords must be right.

After Callie's pleadings, Susan had to drop the idea of going for a drink and went back to her office.

Soon, Susan got into her office.

"I'm sorry for letting you come back so late. I have no intention to bother you. But I don't know what I should do next, and I had a good scolding just now." Callie began, with tears in her eyes, and a sense of blame on her face.

"Just forget it. I'm well aware of Manuel." Susan comforted her. Then she sat at her computer and entered the password. Only when she touched the keyboard did she realise that she had changed a word of the password. She got the file soon.

Callie left after a few thankful words.

Susan was about to power off her computer and leave the office when Manuel opened the door. He asked, "Make a coffee for me." And then he closed the door, without even a glance at Susan and Callie. Susan stopped her and said, "I'll do it."

She couldn't take it anymore, as Manuel was very hard on Callie. She was exhausted, as she had to work overtime till late at night with Manuel every day.

"Miss Phillips, you're so nice. I'll sort out the data and hand in it to Mr Johnson." Said Callie.

"You just get on with your work."

Saying, she went to make a cup of black coffee. Manuel usually refreshed himself with a cup of coffee when he felt tired. Susan reckoned that he would die of work in his office one day.

Later, Susan pushed open the door of Manuel's office, while he was busy with his work and didn't cast a glance at her. Susan just wanted to put down the coffee on his desk, and by coincidence, Manuel stretched out his hand to get a file and hit the cup. Coffee was spilt all over Manuel's white shirt and black pants.

Susan let out a scream, and hurriedly pulled Manuel's shirt and tried to wipe the coffee away.

Manuel endured the pain of scalds and grabbed her hand.

"Don't move." He said.

More coffee penetrated his skin as Susan pulled the shirt.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this." Susan hastened to explain, feeling very sorry.

Manuel stood up, being wet through.

"Call the cleaner to clean the office now." He asked with knitted brows. Then he turned and walked into the restroom to change clothes.

Susan looked at his back, with nameless emotions. She gulped and thought it was reasonable that Manuel was displeased with her as she made a mistake. But she couldn't understand why he still wore a long face since she had apologized.

Manuel came into the restroom and changed his wet shirt and pants. He sighed, for he was attracted by Susan's scent, which was not a scent of perfume, but one of flowers and milk probably as Susan liked. Then he got out of the restroom in another suit and saw Susan carefully wiping up the coffee on the desk.

"Where is the cleaner?"

"She went off." Susan replied, "Please be assured. I'll take care of it."

She thought Manuel had never believed her that she could do things well.

"Stop it, and get out, please." Said Manuel.

"I said I'll do it well."

"You're wasting my time here. I don't work through the night."

Gritting her teeth in anger, she wanted to put her duster into Manuel's mouth.

Susan was ready to go off. And the next second, she staggered as she was in high heels and walked on the wet floor.

"Ah!"

When she was about to fall, the man held her in time, firmly. She sank into his arms, and she felt the warmth of the man. She raised her head and met Manuel's eyes. She was surprised, as she never thought he would give her a hand.

At that moment, Susan was attracted by his neck and Adam's apple. And the scene of her erotic dream arose in her mind suddenly. Somehow, she felt the guy's neck and Adam's apple in her dream looked similar to Manuel's.

She couldn't help but move her fingers up to touch Manuel. Suddenly, Manuel took his hands off her. Susan withdrew her hand hurriedly, realizing that she was seduced by Manuel. She thought it must be the erotic dream that left her in a stupor.

"Get out, and don't bother me anymore," Manuel said.

Susan was thinking about how she would have sex with Manuel, while he only wanted to send her away. She turned and walked away in a huff, without a glance about the man behind. She assumed, perhaps she would replace Manuel's cheeks reddened if she turned around.

"Miss Phillips!" Callie saw Susan go out of Manuel's office abruptly, and called her.

"I'll do nothing for Manuel, even if he's dying of starvation or thirst," Susan shouted.

Callie wondered why they had to quarrel with each other every day. And somehow, she felt that they looked like an old couple who quarrelled daily.

But nobody wanted to meddle with their affairs since they had already divorced, and besides, Susan and Henry were love-struck now.
