Chapter 657 Parting

After changing into pyjamas, Oscar went to bed. Hannah was already in bed. Neither said a word in the dimly lit room, immersed in the endless sorrow of parting. Hannah felt Oscar's sadness whenever he left Cian, from small to large. She reclined sideways on Oscar's chest. Oscar was lost in thought then. He was momentarily astonished when Hannah approached him and then took her into his arms tightly but gently. Hannah heard his forceful heartbeat, which was not accessible tomorrow.

"How often will you come back, Oscar?"

"I'm not sure." Oscar shook his head.

"I'm afraid I'm gonna miss you." Said Hannah in distress.

"Come on," Oscar smiled deliberately, "Strip out 'I'm afraid'."

Pursing her lips, Hannah heard Oscar saying firmly, "I will miss you." Her heart was pounding. Oscar was the man who could always take her breath away. She couldn't tell how much she wanted Oscar to stay, which was as much as her desire to leave with him. There was too much helplessness in the adult world.

Hannah nodded silently, swallowing all the sentences that rose to her throat, except this one, "Take care and stay alive."

"All right." Oscar embraced Hannah tightly.

It was a sleepless night. Hannah fell asleep after all. When she woke up, it was empty by her side. It was Oscar's style to leave silently. He seemed to fear parting, possibly because he had often parted his brother. Looking at the emptiness beside her, Hannah felt a sense of loss. She sighed. After adjusting her mood, Hannah got up. It was shocking that she had already been used to the everyday life with Oscar- he brushed her teeth, washed her face, and even carried her to the toilet...

Finishing the morning wash, Hannah went downstairs and took the breakfast prepared by Max. While eating, Hannah asked, "What time did Oscar leave?"

"Before 6 am, madam, Jimmy sent him to the airport," Max answered.

Hannah looked at the clock and counted the time. It was more than one hour's flight to the Capital, so Oscar must have gotten off the plane. But he didn't give her any phone call, short message or whatever. Was he far too occupied to do so? Hannah finished her breakfast without a word and went to work in Jimmy's car. Jimmy was a silent man. He tended not to say anything unless Hannah asked him. So Hannah didn't know anything about his sending Oscar to the airport. She sighed, seeing the scene through the window in a daze.

"Madam," It was rare that Jimmy offered to talk to her.

Hannah's eyes moved, "Yes?"

"Master Oscar said that time would be beyond his control when he arrived in the Capital, so he hoped madam did not worry about him if he couldn't call or send you a message timely." Said Jimmy. Hannah was astonished that Jimmy should make such a long speech.

He added, "Master Oscar also said he would return whenever possible. And he wanted madam to care for yourself and your baby, not miss him too much."

Hannah smiled softly, being warmed by Oscar's consideration. Sometimes simple words between the beloved could please them for a long time.

The car arrived at Cooper Group. Hannah sat in her office and listened to Rose's work report. Finishing reporting, Rose said, "Ms Hannah, have you heard the news about Phillips Bank?" "What?" Hannah's countenance changed.

"It is said that there is a boardroom power struggle in Phillips Bank, but I'm not sure about the specifics. I guess it is no small matter as it hit the headlines." As a secretary, she should also know about the industry news.

"Got it." Hannah answered, "Can you get me a cup of milk?"

"Sure."

Before Rose left, she glanced back at Jimmy, Who tensed up when feeling her stares. Rose pursued him relentlessly these days, ignoring all his plain statements and coldness. She approached him again and asked, "What will you have?"

"Mineral water," answered Jimmy indifferently.

"Just like you."

Jimmy frowned in confusion.

"An unromantic backwater," Rose muttered.

Jimmy pursed his lips without a word.

Rose found it incredulous. Did she chase after a ball of air for over a month? How could Jimmy neglect what she had done all the time? She tossed a sachet in her hand at Jimmy while he blocked it with a slap. The sachet fell on the ground a few feet away. Rose's countenance looked dreadful,

"Did you think I threw a dynamite at you?"

Jimmy's Adam's apple moved slightly-he did have thought so.

"It was made by myself. Take it or leave it!" Rose walked away without another word, angrily.

Seeing their interaction, Hannah thought there were hardly bosses who would indulge their employees in flirting during working hours. Hannah turned her eyes away and dialled Manuel's number to ask about the affairs inside Phillips Bank. She had a feeling that it had much to do with him.

The phone put through quickly, "Good morning, Hannah."

"Good morning, Manuel. I heard that there is something wrong with Phillips Bank?" Hannah asked.

Manuel expected this phone call as the news hit the headlines. He said, "Henry and his clique want to force me to resign under public opinion."

"Who is him to do so?" Hannah was a bit angry.

"I set a goal when I took office but haven't achieved it yet because of many accidents during this period."

Hannah nodded, comprehending Manuel's choice, which she made to barely secure her seat in the company.

"But don't worry, I can manage it."

"What can I do for you?"

"No, I'm afraid," Manuel said frankly, "I've checked out that the close cooperation between you and Phillips Bank is not helpful for me. So don't bother; I can manage." "So you look down on me?"

"No, I don't."

Hannah was just kidding, "Anyway, feel free to call me if anywhere I could help."

"Sure."

"And don't get ahead of yourself."

"I won't."

"All right, that's it."

"By the way, did my cousin leave this morning?" Manuel asked.

"Yeah, earlier than I could catch a glimpse of him."

Manuel smiled, knowing it was Oscar's style.

He said, "Theodore is likely to go there with him. So don't worry, he'll be fine."

"All right," Hannah nodded.

She could only think that way instead of imagining the worst.

"OK, that's it. I'm going to deal with the work at hand."

"All right."

Manuel hung up the telephone and looked at his secretary, who had just knocked on the door and entered. She said nervously, "Mr Johnson, there is a meeting in the boardroom."
