Chapter 647 Susan Overheard Henry's Conspiracy

The news didn't make a stir. People simply read it and forgot about it soon. But, it caused some inner riots in Phillips Bank. Now, the thing was exposed, leaving the staff wondering how the senior managers were going to deal with it.

It was hardly possible for Manuel to reach his primary goal. But it was still unknown if the company would bow to the pressure and gossip and make Manuel quit. People could judge these from the current situation.

As the central figure in this event, Manuel didn't act like one. Instead, he clocked out on time and left calmly while the other employees were watching. So, more people joined the discussion and guessed what the catch was! Reasonably, he should keep up appearances, which at least would be one good reason for the senior managers to make him stay.

Susan held a low position in the company and she'd joined some staff chat groups. That was how she read their comments on Manuel, most of which were positive. Quite a few of them thought it was a pity that Manuel would be fired. Undoubtedly, the majority of these people were female. Susan bet they must have been attracted by Manuel's charm.

But, to be fair and square, she also thought it was a pity if Manuel would be fired. She didn't believe her father was so stupid as to make Manuel quit. Maybe Manuel thought the same way and that was why he took it lightly. Susan suddenly thought of something and realized it was time to get off work.

"I'm off. Wanna go with me?" she texted Henry. That was how they communicated in the past two weeks. Things between them were way too dry and dull. Passion had worn off. It seemed they were back together only because they thought they should be.

"I'll work overtime today. Take care. I'll bring you night snacks." Henry texted back.

"OK. See you later."

"OK."

Susan turned off the computer and left the office. She was bored to death in the car, wondering what she was going to do with the long night. She looked out of the window and saw the sun still glowing in the sky, thinking that she would have dinner alone again.

Then she phoned Hannah, "Hi Hannah. Wanna dine out tonight?"

"Oh, sorry, Susan. I've got a plan tonight."

"Are you gonna work extra hours?"

"Nope."

"Then why did you stand me up?"

"It's Oscar's birthday. We'll celebrate."

"I'm coming over to join you guys." Said Susan immediately.

"Sorry, Susan. I'm afraid not!" rejected Hannah.

"Hannah! Why not!" said Susan angrily and thought she had abandoned her for Oscar.

"Not tonight."

"Aren't we friends?" Susan got mad and snapped.

"How about tomorrow? Come over to my place. I'll tell Max to cook your favourite dishes."

"What kind of friend are you? Bye."

"Hello...."

Susan hung up the phone abruptly and was pissed off. She couldn't accept the fact that Hannah had turned her down for Oscar, and felt she had been abandoned by the whole world. She thought about it and dialled another number, "Dad."

"Susan? What's up?" answered Edward surprisingly.

"I'll go home for dinner tonight. Tell the servant to cook some of my favourite food."

"I'll be out tonight." Said Edward frankly.

"Out?" Susan frowned.

"Yeah. I'll take Justine out for dinner. If you wanna go back, I'll tell the servant to prepare more..." "No need." Susan rejected it instantly, wondering why they all had dates but she was left alone.

Susan hung up on Edward in anger and felt distraught.

"Where are we going, Miss Phillips?" asked the driver cautiously.

"Back to the office. I'll be on overtime!" said Susan decisively.

The driver was stunned to hear that, but he still turned around and headed back for the office. Susan just wanted to wait for Henry to finish work because she hated to be alone.

She came back and went straight to Henry's office. She went in without knocking on the door and heard Henry's voice, "Manuel will quit if we pressure him a little harder..."

At that moment, their eyes met. Except for Henry, a few other board members were also in the office, including the one who had mentioned Manuel's goal at today's meeting. They were sitting on the couch and discussing something big.

"Susan? Why are you back?" Henry asked with a smile, acting as if nothing had happened, "Didn't you leave first?"

"I was bored, so I came back to wait for you. You seem very busy. I'll leave you to it." Said Susan, and closed the door immediately.

She went back to her office and couldn't stop thinking of Henry's words, which meant he tried to kick Manuel out of the company. She thought it was very big of Henry to speak for Manuel at the meeting. After all, not only the outsiders but also she thought Manuel had taken his place.

Someone knocked at the door and brought Susan back to reality.

"Come in."

Henry came into her office.

Susan forced a smile and said, "Don't mind me. I'll just come up with something to kill time."

"Don't be silly, honey. How can I focus on work now? We've done with the discussion. We can go now." Said Henry calmly.

Susan nodded.

"What do you want for dinner? I'll cook if you wanna eat at home. I'll make a reservation first if you wanna dine out." "Henry."

Susan was never good at hiding her feelings and doubts.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to make Manuel leave Phillips Bank?"

"Yes," Henry said and gave Susan a firm yes.

"But at today's meeting..."

"I just pretended it." Admitted Henry.

Susan heard it and bit her lips hard.

"Dear Susan, actually, I didn't want to tell you because I don't want to get you worried. But now I think it's necessary to make it clear to you. I don't want any misunderstandings between us."

Susan had no idea what Henry was going to say, and she was disgusted with it deep down. However, she still listened to his explanation silently.

"Manuel joined Phillips Bank with only an evil purpose. He wants to have the group as his own. You might not know that I once had 20% shares. But Manuel played dirty tricks and took them away from me."
