Chapter 628 Sorry, You Misunderstand Me

Manuel drove to work after having breakfast.

It was the first time that he had been so nervous.

He parked the car in the garage and took a deep breath before getting off the car.

When he walked into the Phillips Bank building, everyone could not help staring at him.

On the one hand, he was a senior leader. On the other hand, he was a real looker.

Manuel went into his office, and Callie walked forward, "Good morning, Mr Johnson."

Manuel nodded and looked at the desk on the side.

Callie said immediately, "Miss Phillips hasn't arrived yet. Do you want me to call and ask her?"

"No." Manuel said, "Please make me a cup of coffee and then show me the progress of Botter Group."

"OK."

Before that, Callie had seen pictures of his outfit in some private chat groups. With Manuel standing in front of her, she found him even more stunning than the pictures. Something had changed in him. And at the thought of seeing Manuel walk Susan into her apartment, Callie couldn't help smiling.

Susan seldom came late but she hadn't arrived yet today. Besides, looking at Manuel's expression just now, she found that he was very considerate and spoiled to Susan. Observing all these signs, Callie got excited about her discovery that they were making a progress in their relationship.

Manuel sat in the office working and looked a little absent-minded.

While drinking the coffee, he had gotten his mind on Susan.

He was thinking about whether Susan was on her way and whether she would come to his office first when she arrived.

This was the first time that he was distracted at work and even on pins and needles.

He thought for a while and called Callie, "Let Susan come in. There is something she needs to do."

"Mr Johnson, Miss Phillips hasn't arrived yet."

It had been 10 o'clock.

Manuel was kind of confused.

"Do you want me to call her?" asked Callie.

"She slept too late last night. Let her sleep more." Manuel said casually.

It sounded strange after he said it.

"Yes. She was too tired last night. Let her sleep." Said Callie.

Manuel didn't say anything and hung up the phone.

There went the morning but Susan didn't show up in the company.

In the afternoon, Manuel found he could not focus on work because of Susan.

He thought about the way Susan smiled all the time. He felt thirsty and had drunk several cups of coffee. Finally, he couldn't bear it and called her.

And he pretended to be cold and serious when he picked up the phone.

When the phone was answered, Susan didn't speak.

"It's too late. Why don't you come to work?"

She was silent.

Manuel thought his tone might be too serious. After all, he should be gentler since they just opened their hearts. But his tone was much less horrible than those before and it was just different from the way he treated Susan before.

Since Susan didn't speak, Manuel lowered his voice, "Are you sleepy?"

She still didn't say anything.

"If so, get some more sleep. It's okay if you don't work today. I will pick you up for dinner when I get off work." Manuel said gently.

"Go to sleep."

Manuel was going to hang up. He knew how lazy Susan was and how bad-tempered she would be when she was sleepy, so he didn't think too much. Anyway, he was ready to compromise everything between himself and Susan.

"Manuel," Susan called him abruptly.

She sounded cold.

He thought she sounded strange but he didn't think deeply.

"What's wrong?"

"About last night..." Susan stopped.

Manuel raised an undisguised smile. They could do what they hadn't finished tonight, Manuel thought.

"Just forget it." Susan suddenly spoke.

His smile died at that moment. He wanted to believe that he had misheard.

"I'm sorry that you misunderstood." Said Susan.

Manuel was losing control but he still tried to be calm and asked her softly again, "Should I give you a little time?"

"No, I'm awake now." Susan said, "I'm sober and I know what I'm talking about. Besides, I have told my father that I won't be your assistant in the future. I will go to the Group Customer Department as the deputy manager, that is, the deputy post of Henry."

What she said conveyed a lot of information.

So what happened last night was just a dream?

What he expected for Susan and the future were just illusions.

He was too overwhelmed to say a word.

"I will go to the office to pick up my stuff in half an hour."

Manuel smiled and didn't ask more.

He hung up the phone.

So he was abandoned by Susan eventually.

From beginning to end, it was still his wishful thinking.

Susan's tears dropped off. No one would know how sad she was when she received his call and said those things.

"Susan," Henry called her from behind.

Susan wiped her tears quickly. Henry could see she was crying but he pretended he didn't.

He used cruel means to force Susan to be with him.

He committed suicide on purpose last night and he had eight stitches in his wrist.

His house was full of blood.

When he called Susan to say goodbye, Susan was shocked. And later, they had been in the hospital since 3 a. m. last night.

Susan was forced to be back to him.
