After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 671 Oscar Back
Chapter 671 Oscar Back
Susan's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a needle. She felt so guilty for Henry.
"You're sick. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm fine." Henry smiled, "The doctor made a big fuss."
"How did you catch a cold?" Susan asked.
"Probably because I wasn't paying attention. I didn't notice the temperature difference."
"Was it because you were waiting for me last night?"
"Susan..."
"If you were waiting for me last night, why didn't you call me?" Susan was a little excited.
Henry looked speechless and looked a little afraid of Susan's anger.
"Henry, if I'm not around you in the future, how will you take care of yourself?" Susan's eyes turned red. She didn't expect Henry to do this for her.
Didn't he know? She didn't love him anymore. She was in love with another man. That was who she was, a person who betrayed him.
"Susan, don't be angry." Henry grabbed her hand, "I will take care of myself in the future. Besides, isn't there still a month? Maybe you will change your mind." "Henry, I ..."
Suddenly, Henry started coughing loudly and uncontrollably.
Susan got startled.
Henry coughed even harder. It felt like his stomach was going to be coughed up by him. It took Henry a long time to stop and he looked even weaker now. "Susan, what did you want to say?"
Susan opened her mouth slightly, but then she shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it after you get recovered. Now, take some good rest." Henry smiled but in his mind, he was thinking viciously that he would never let Susan go back to Manuel.
At Phillips Group, Manuel sat in the office. He was a little absent-minded.
After the secretary reported her work, she asked, "Mr Johnson, do you want some black coffee as usual?" Manuel didn't pay attention to her until just now. It was rare for him to be distracted when he was working. Callie felt a little embarrassed. She quickly asked again, "Mr Johnson, do you want some black coffee as usual?" "Yes, please."
"Sure." She answered and was about to leave.
"Wait,"
"Yes?"
"Call Susan over here. I need to confirm with her about some work matters."
Callie was surprised. She wondered if she misheard the name just now. So she asked, "Do you mean Miss Phillips?"
"Yes." Manuel looked composed.
"Okay, I will notify her immediately."
After Callie left, Manuel couldn't help but take a deep breath. He leaned back on the sofa. His body was sore. After all those things that happened yesterday, he didn't even want to wake up today. But he regretted a bit treating Susan like that yesterday because only after he fully woke up and recalled Susan's appearance last night, did he realize that the hickeys on her neck were most likely made by him instead of Henry. Susan even called Tia over for him last night, although he asked Tia to leave. Manuel felt something this morning after calming down. So he decided to come to the office, even though he wanted so much to sleep at home for a whole day. Because he felt that there were some things that he had to clarify with Susan face-to-face.
He waited for a while. Callie then knocked on the door and entered with a cup of coffee. Manuel looked behind her.
"Mr Johnson, Miss Phillips hasn't come to work yet." Callie noticed that Manuel was looking for Susan and she said quickly, "I just notified the customer department to tell her to come to see you once she arrives."
"Alright." Manuel responded, and then asked casually, "Is Henry here?"
"Mr Parker doesn't seem to be here either."
Manuel frowned a bit.
Then Callie left after putting down the coffee.
Manuel tried to distract himself to focus on work. But he didn't have a good rest last night, he could hardly work today. Thinking that there was an important meeting in the afternoon, he put down what he was doing and went to the restroom inside his office to rest. After he lay in bed, he was unable to sleep. So he took out his phone and start flipping through his social media.
He stopped at a picture posted by Henry. Two hands were holding tight in the photo and one of them was Susan's, which could be told at a glance. The text below the picture read, "Wish to win the heart of one person, get old with her and never be separated from her."
Manuel laughed and put down the phone at the same moment. He might have misunderstood Susan last night, but Susan had never chosen between him and Henry. She might not realize who was the person she liked. As for him, he didn't want to know who was it anymore. He would take it as he fancied again.
At Cooper Group, Hannah felt a bit tired. It was the third month of her pregnancy already, but she felt more and more lethargic. She sat in the office, yawning non-stop.
Rose couldn't stand it any longer and she said, "Ms Hannah, why don't you take a rest first, and deal with work later."
It had been three months. Almost everyone knew she was pregnant. In fact, she didn't try to hide it deliberately. It was Oscar who was too superstitious. Hannah thought about the work she had to finish and she shook her head. She didn't mean to work hard, but she didn't feel she could fall asleep even if she lay down. The only problem was that she could get tired easily while working. So she continued to read the files.
The phone rang.
Hannah took a look. A smile appeared on her face. It was such an obvious smile, even Rose knew that it must be Oscar's call. She left the office tactfully. But when she was leaving, she couldn't help but glance at Jimmy who was still sitting on the sofa next to her. He was a man who couldn't tell other people's needs.
Hannah answered the phone, "You are calling me during the day, aren't you busy?"
"I'm afraid you would miss me." A magnetic voice came from the other side.
"I don't miss you." Hannah didn't want to admit that.
Oscar had left for a month already. The time for them to talk on the phone was also very limited. She told herself that she was used to the lonely life already.
"I'm back."
Hannah couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. But she suppressed her emotions without showing them. She was afraid that Oscar was teasing her.
"Theodore and I arrived at the airport, would you like to come and pick me up?" Oscar asked.
Hannah frowned. They were at the airport. Couldn't they come back by themselves?
"I have to visit Laird first." Oscar explained, "But I want to see you before that."
"Then why don't you call me when you boarded the plane?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise!"
"Then you should just appear in front of me."
"Oh," Oscar responded, showing no remorse at all.
"Wait for me for half an hour, I'll be right there."
"Good."
Hannah hung up the phone and said to Jimmy, "Come with me, let's go to the airport to pick up Oscar." After saying that, she walked directly to the door of her office.
As the door opened, the man who said he was still at the airport, just like that, suddenly appeared in front of her.
