Chapter 655 Susan Speaks for Manuel

Hannah thought of it and added, "In fact, I've turned Theodore and Manuel down, but they came to the party uninvited just like you did. They were here earlier." "Really?" Susan doubted it.

"Yes, you're my best friend. What made you think I would turn you done only? That was impossible!" said Hannah seriously.

Susan thought it made sense and accepted it because she believed Hannah would never leave her alone. Then she stopped being mad and said, "See you tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Will Oscar be home?"

"He's got a dinner party."

"That's why you think of me."

"Didn't you say that you don't mind it?"

"But I'm too proud to be a backup."

"Don't be silly, there is no such a gorgeous 'backup'."

Susan couldn't resist her sweet words, and gave in, "Fine. I know you need me and I'll drop by after work. Tell Max I like the broth he cooks."

"You got it."

"Great. See you soon."

"OK. See you soon."

Susan hung up the phone and felt in a good mood. She checked the time. There were three hours to go before she could leave the office. Thus she got bored soon and later she went through the entertainment news on the phone. Seriously, she had no interest in work, and couldn't understand why her father forced her to take the job. Did he want her to fool around?

Susan was attracted by one piece of financial news, to which she never paid attention. She read Manuel's name on the title and clicked it.

Such news was published every one or two days in the past week, saying that Manuel had taken the position of General Manager in Phillips Bank but he wasn't good at his job. He had made a promise and he was supposed to tell the public even if he wasn't going to keep it. His silence had made him a terrible General Manager.

Susan read the news and went through the comments as well.

Very few people had read and commented on it, but some of them still gossiped. She must admit that Manuel's constant silence would hurt Phillips Bank and it would also get her father involved. To the outsiders, her father was standing on Manuel's side like a fool.

Susan put down the phone and hesitated to talk to Henry in his office. Henry would always make time for her no matter how swamped he was.

"What's up, sweetheart?" Henry smiled softly and thought she was tired of her work again.

"Withdraw the news." Susan cut to the chase.

"What?" Henry narrowed his eyes and hid the gloominess on his face.

"I said, withdraw the news that you've told the media to publish." Susan said, "Manuel is qualified for his job. And my father knows what he's doing. You don't have to do that." Henry tried to explain.

"And it doesn't help much." Susan went to the point, "This kind of news has very little impact on Manuel and he can still do it with ease. But what you have done will get Phillips Bank involved."

Henry was stunned by Susan's words. He always thought Susan cared none about the company and she couldn't be so insightful. It was true that he tried to use the media to urge Manuel. And it was also true that he wanted to pressure Manuel by getting Phillips Bank involved.

"Susan, please trust me. I did that for the group..."

Susan looked at him peacefully.

"It might bring some negative effects on our company now, but as you can see, the effect is nearly inconsiderable. I just want to expose the whole thing to the public and pressure Manuel. Manuel bears ill will for the company, so I can't sit back and do nothing to stop him. I've been under great pressure to do so." Henry looked guilty, "I also know it's good for none if it goes too far. Even so, I insist on doing it because I know what Manuel wants. And I won't let him hurt you and your father!"

"Even if my father gets hurt, he asks for it." Susan said bluntly, "Phillips Bank belongs to my father, and he can decide who will have it. What else can I do if he hands it to Manuel in the end? I'm his daughter and I inherit his family name. Besides, I've done nothing good to the company. How can I take over Phillips Bank and inherit his business? If he wants Manuel to take over the company, just let him. I don't care any more."

Henry couldn't believe his ears and just stared at Susan intensely.

"So, just stay out of it," Susan said.

Henry pursed his lips hard. Susan meant whatever he was doing was nothing in his business. Even Susan and her father, Edward didn't mind it. As an outsider, he didn't have to do so much or he was unqualified to do that.

Henry was furious but still restrained himself.

"OK. I'll stay out of it since you and your father have made the decision."

Susan looked at him, feeling guilty as if she had wasted Henry's effort.

Henry made a call in front of her, "Stop publishing the news about Manuel."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I strove to publish it regardless of all. Now you're telling me to stop? What do you want me to tell my boss..."

A restless and angry voice came from the other end of the phone. Henry was apologizing to him, while Susan just stared at him quietly.

A moment later, Henry hung up the phone and turned to Susan, "It's done. No more news."

"I'm so sorry, Henry."

"Silly girl." Henry smiled with love and said, "Whatever I've done, I did it for you. If you are upset about it, I will stop it. It's OK. I just want you to be happy."

"Uh-huh."

"I'll take you out for dinner," said Henry, "I went to a nice restaurant with my client the other day. I'm sure you'll love it."

"Sorry. I've got a plan tonight. I'll dine with Hannah."

"Oh. OK." Henry looked a little disappointed.

"How about tomorrow?" asked Susan.

"Good." Henry agreed, "I'll make the reservation first."

"OK." Susan nodded, "I'll leave you to it."

"OK."

Henry looked gloomy and furious right after Susan left, and punched hard on his desk. He could feel that Susan cared more and more about Manuel, so he must do something to stop it.
