Chapter 776 The Man Who Is Turned Down

Oscar was choked by Hannah's sarcasm. He just bit his lips and couldn't say a word. Hannah waited for a moment and left after she confirmed that he had nothing to tell her. "Hannah," Oscar watched her leaving and suddenly called her name.

"What?" she paused her steps and looked back.

"I'll have the coronation the day after tomorrow."

"Congratulations!" said Hannah with a smile.

That fake smile had stung him. He knew Hannah didn't care when he would take office, and she didn't care anything about him, either. But he just felt like sharing with her.

"I'm going back to my room if that's all. I'll be up to the neck tomorrow. Good night." Hannah said and left without hesitation. She understood she could do nothing to stop him from coming back, and she could do nothing with him even if he wasn't going to keep his promise. All she could do was make herself feel better.

She returned to her room, took a shower and lay on the bed. She was sleepless with Oscar back in the house. To be more exact, she hadn't slept well these days. On the one hand, she was too worried about the affairs in the Cooper Group. On the other hand, she had a rough time.

Only she knew what a difficult time she had been through. When night fell, she tried to close her eyes and go to sleep, and tried not to dwell on the stuff. But it didn't work. Most of the time, she couldn't fall asleep. The case could only get worse when Oscar was back, even though he hadn't visited her room the whole night.

The next early morning, Hannah got out of bed as soon as she heard the alarm clock. She was up all night long. She was used to it. Lying on the bed seemed to be a matter of form to her.

She went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and saw a little blood in her panties. But she didn't make a fuss about it. Instead, she just put on a clean one. She washed herself up and did the makeup, then she got changed and went downstairs.

Oscar was reading newspapers in the lounge. He heard the sound and looked back at her. Max had come to her from the doorway, "Good morning, Madam, Mr Wells is waiting for you to have breakfast." "I'll have breakfast in the office canteen with my father. We've made a pact." Hannah smiled.

Max looked a little bewildered and glanced at Oscar. He didn't know what to say to make Hannah stay for breakfast.

"I'll fly at 8 PM," Oscar uttered.

She knew he would surely leave tonight because he would have the coronation the next day, but she said nothing in response. It didn't matter to her when he would leave, just as when he would come back. It was none of her business.

"You got any plan for a lunch break? Manuel said you would leave the company after the meeting in the morning." Asked Oscar.

"You're the boss." Hannah snorted. Tow guards were closely watching her. She couldn't escape.

"We'll have lunch together." Oscar pretended he didn't hear the sarcasm, and said lightly.

Hannah turned around to leave because she got nothing to say. She got in the car and got a call from Susan.

"Hannah, why didn't you stop me last night?" asked Susan with sobs.

Hannah frowned and wondered what was wrong with her again.

"I hauled Oscar over the coals last night, didn't I?"

Hannah giggled. Finally, Susan had sobered up. "Um, yeah. You were blowing the roof off."

Susan was freaked out.

"What? Do you regret it?"

"Are you kidding? He'll be the king. Will he sentence me to death?"

"Maybe!"

"Hell no! Hannah! Don't scare me!" said Susan in scare.

Hannah smiled brightly with sunlight shining on her cheeks, and said, "Ask Manuel to do you a favour and talk to Oscar. Maybe he'll spare you."

"Jesus! Give me a break!" said Susan angrily.

Hannah took a deep breath and said in earnest, "Don't drink like a fish again, Susan. It's bad for your health, and you'll be more likely to make mistakes when you're drunk. Oscar isn't petty and he isn't the king yet. I bet he'll forgive you this time. You know, to serve a king is full of risks. So, you'd better show him respect and keep a distance."

"What about you?" asked Susan. Everyone was supposed to respect and obey Oscar. Was Hannah going to do that, too? Must she grin and bear it even though she had been badly hurt by him?

"Me too." Said Hannah peacefully, "Common people don't fight the officials. Susan, survival of the fittest. Let's just live with it."

"God. I feel so sorry for you." Said Susan sadly.

The first thing she did after she sobered up this morning was to call Hannah. Firstly, she regretted her alcohol talking the night before. She still remembered Theodore praising her for being so bold as to have given Oscar a good scolding, which had excited her. But she couldn't help shaking with fear when she recalled it.

Secondly, she wanted to replace out what happened to Hannah and Oscar last night. Hannah was a tough and aggressive girl, who could never forgive Oscar for what he had done to her. Did Oscar force himself on her or make her do something against her will? Susan stopped thinking, fearing that she would go out of control again.

"I'm fine. Don't worry. You're getting late for work. Manuel is gonna give you a hard time for that, right?" reminded Hannah.

Susan checked the time and screamed, "Lord! I get going! Bye for now." She said it and hung up the phone abruptly.

Hannah put down the phone. At times, she did admire Susan for being rash and careless. On the contrary, she had overthought everything.

The car arrived at the gate of the Cooper Group building. Hannah was sentimental because this might be the last time that she was here. She thought of it and went straight to her father's office. Miguel had a gloomy and solemn expression. He looked around and didn't feel like talking.

Hannah took a deep breath and put on a pretty smile, "Good morning, dad. Are you in Sunday best today? We'll say goodbye to the employees, and we must look good. Come on! Let me see!"

Miguel looked back at Hannah, who was coming up to him with a smile. But he knew she faked it.
