Chapter 730 Elevator Horror (1)

Susan spoke with aplomb and she didn't notice a hint of evil in Henry's eyes.

Henry had thought that Edward would reappoint him when Manuel was not around. He did not expect that after waiting for such a long time, Manuel would suddenly come back. Finally, Edward gave all his power to Manuel.

But in front of Susan, he never showed his true feelings.

"That's good. Now that your father is not in charge, you won't be forced to do that!" Henry smiled.

"That's what I should think about." Susan nodded.

"Where did you go this morning?" Henry asked.

"I went to see Hannah. She was pregnant, but not so well. I should spend more time with her."

"Speaking of Hannah, I think of Oscar. Oscar is well-known in Northfield now. I heard that he will be the sole heir of the royal Wells family and will once again rule Northfield." Henry said.

"Yes. My best friend will become the first lady, the noblest woman of Northfield. It's so exciting."

"I didn't expect the little-noticed Oscar to have such a special status."

"He's outstanding!" Susan retorted, "Oscar's appearance had misled all of us. But in fact, he's not a playboy. He is a capable man, who cherishes Hannah a lot. He's dramatically better than Charles Sawyer. Luckily, Hannah had a discerning eye back then."

"Yes." Henry agreed. He dared not to provoke Oscar and Hannah now.

Susan talked about them for a long time, but her mood suddenly changed. She suddenly quieted down.

"What's wrong?" Henry asked.

She thought of what Hannah had said that she should make a clean break. However, she could not say it when she looked at this caring man in front of her.

"You were just quite happy, weren't you? Why are you upset now? Are you uncomfortable?" Henry was worried.

Susan shook her head, "Just think of some work to deal with, I'm upset."

"Don't worry. if there's anything you don't want to do, leave it to me. I'll do it for you."

"No. You're busy too. I'll focus on the work then."

"Well, let's have dinner tonight."

"I want to visit Hannah in the evening. Now that Oscar is busy in the capital, I want to spend more time with her."

"That's true," Henry said thoughtfully, "You haven't seen each other for so long. You must miss each other very much. We met every day. We can have dinner together anytime."

"Uh-huh."

Henry left with a smile. As soon as he left Susan's office, his smile faded away.

He returned to his office.

He was very clear that if Manuel did not leave the company, he would never be able to take over Phillips Bank. In terms of ability, he could not be compared to Manuel. Besides, Edward preferred Manuel. Henry even thought that if Manuel stayed there too long, he would lose Susan sooner or later.

At that moment, Henry made up his mind to act upon his intention, which had been generated in his mind a long time ago.

Then he made a phone call.

"Tonight, I'll arrange it."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Henry showed a cruel smile.

Manuel had returned to work and kept coping with tasks for long hours. During this period, although Edward was personally managing the company, Manuel had to say that most of the work affairs were not put in order. Perhaps it was also because Edward was old enough, or he couldn't adapt to the pressure, owing to a period of comfortable days before.

So it took Manuel a lot of time to straighten his workout.

After a long while, Manuel stretched, saved the file, and then closed the computer to go home.

When he opened the office door, Susan appeared at the door.

"What's the matter?"

If he remembered correctly, it was now 10 p. m. The staff, who left work late, had also gone.

"This is my handover form." Susan handed him a document, "You think it's useless, but I have to sort out my work. I don't like people asking me questions all the time."

Manuel took the document but did not take a look. He then turned to put the papers on his desk. After that, he got up and left.

Susan glanced at the document she prepared tonight and pursed her lips. She followed Manuel into the elevator.

It was so late, so there was no one else in the company. The cleaning workers had been left at work. It was quiet inside the elevator. Neither of them spoke. Manuel had been watching the number of the elevator. Susan turned to look at the other side.

"If you have time, please spend more time with Hannah," Manuel spoke suddenly.

Susan was stunned for a moment. Manuel's sudden concern was strange.

"Oscar is not here. She will be lonely at home especially when she is pregnant."

"When did you care so much about her?"

Manuel did not speak.

"Are you interested in Hannah?" Susan blurted out.

Manuel remained silent.

Susan also felt that it seemed impossible. She pursed her lips and said, "Well. I'll go with her when I'm free."

She intended to visit her tonight. She just wanted to finish the job first, but someone didn't appreciate it. With that said, they fell into silence again. They kept their distance. Susan also turned her head to watch the elevator numbers change.

Suddenly, the elevator juddered.

Susan was frightened. Before they reacted, the elevator rocked again. The light dimmed with the sway.

At that moment, Susan screamed. The sudden darkness and the shaking of the elevator almost scared her to death.

Manuel also found something unusual at that moment. So he quickly reached out and pressed the buttons on all the floors of the elevator. At the same time, he returned to the handrails of the elevator and held them tightly. Manuel squatted down to keep his centre of gravity constant.

"Come here!" Manuel called her.

Susan was in a panic.

"Susan, come here to me!"

Susan managed to calm herself down. When she got close to Manuel, the elevator shook.

"Ah!"

All of a sudden, it fell rapidly.

Meanwhile, Susan was pulled into his arms, and a pair of hands tightly protected her head.
