Chapter 660 She Is on Glue!

Henry looked up and saw Susan. He didn't expect she should appear at his office and see his out-of-control behaviours. His Adam's apple moved a bit. Whatever claims were too weak to explain his anger and violence after Manuel's success.

They looked at each other for a while silently. Susan said, "Calm yourself down, Henry." She neither condemned nor consoled him, just said indifferently and turned around to leave.

Henry clenched his fists, face ferocious. He was rather agitated and distraught since Susan had less concern about him and was growing disillusioned. This had got to stop! Henry punched heavily on the desk. He had a strong desire to kill Manuel for the moment-it was Manuel's brilliant achievements that drove him to such a wretched condition!

Susan went back and sat in her office, having all the feels. She couldn't accept the stark contrast in Henry. The indifference she appeared just now was to disguise her anxiety about how to face Henry. It was impossible to deceive herself that Henry was not resentful of Manuel and that what he had done was all for her sake. She felt disturbed. How could she imagine that one day her Henry would become as strange as he was now?

Her eyes moved slightly. Her phone rang at this time, and Henry's name appeared on the screen. He offered to call her after the embarrassing silence just now. Susan preferred to cool it rather than face Henry, as she didn't know how to approach him. She answered the phone after all, "Henry."

"I'm sorry, Susan." He said regretfully.

Susan's throat moved slightly. She must have misjudged, or Henry was too well in disguising. How could he change so dreadfully in a short period? She chose to keep silent.

"I admit that I was jealous of Manuel." Self-deprecating, he said, "I have no courage to face you now. I could only say sorry to you on the phone."

He didn't have to feel sorry for her. It was just she happened to see it and couldn't accept it. But she was unable to utter the words. It appeared that she was tending to be silent in the face of Henry.

"As Manuel's rival, I thought I was always better than him, not only in work but affection. But I have to look at him with new eyes today. I used to believe he came this far because of your father's favouritism, but now I replace myself such a mean man. Admitting his ability made me terrified. I'm terrified that he will replace me, not just in the company, but in your heart."

Susan just listened but didn't know how to face his repentance.

"So when I went back to my office, it broke out. Now recalling what I've done just now, I feel so regretful." Henry was self-deprecating while Susan remained unmoved.

"I don't know what else I could say to you." He said with a sneer, "I'm afraid nothing could change the impression I left on you. I'm sorry, Susan. I'm sorry to let you down." Susan's throat moved slightly. She didn't say a word until the phone was hung up.

Her silence drove Henry mad. Previously, as long as he pretended to be a bit pathetic, Susan would be melted with sympathy. However, she didn't console him even once today. Her coldness was unbearable for him. He couldn't imagine what would happen to their relationship if things went on like this. Grinding his teeth, Henry tried to calm down. Susan was his last hope, not only in work but affection, and he shall never lose her!

Susan stayed a bit late in the office before returning home in the evening. Or rather, she played games for a while after work, meaning to kill some time. Playing games was not funny for her now as everything else. Stepping out of her office, she walked towards the elevator. When the door opened, Susan walked into and saw Manuel at once. So did Manuel, and they saw each other in the eyes. When Susan was about to say something, Manuel looked away from her, seeming to be unfamiliar with each other. She bit them back when the words almost came out of her mouth, focusing on the changing figures in the elevator. Susan stepped out quickly as soon as the door opened after the elevator arrived on the ground floor. Glancing at her back, Manuel looked away and walked steadily.

Susan crashed after she got into her car. She just wanted to cry constantly; she didn't know when that started. But she didn't cry as the way she cried was silly. She must have been on glue to reach that point! During this period, Susan felt like a living death.

The car arrived, and Susan got off after cleaning up the mood. Heading toward home, she looked through the pages of a takeaway APP. Susan didn't know what to eat and just kept swiping the pages to escape the disturbing things in her mind. When she opened the door, she paused. She saw Henry preparing her dinner with an apron at her home. Honestly, Susan didn't want to see him or get the surprise. She just wanted to be alone.

"Susan, you're back." Henry smiled at her affectionately as if nothing had happened between them this afternoon.

Susan's throat moved slightly. She couldn't turn him down when facing Henry, which became a ritual. Compromise was her habitual way of getting along with Henry. While for the moment, she thought that she would change the password of the entry door.
