Chapter 801 The Great Regret

Finishing saying this, Susan straight left. And everyone just watched her leaving back dumbfounded, which made it even more awkward. No one dared to take any action in this low atmosphere.

Manuel's face was as clouded as it could be. He compressed his lips and said, "The meeting is over now!" Then he stood up and walked off the meeting room, leaving a room full of people that didn't know what they could do. Maybe it was the shortest meeting in the bank of the Phillips Bank, and it was a pointless one.

Susan left the company. Although she was determined when she left, she still felt a little regret when she got in the car that took her out of there. After all, the Phillips Bank was her family's business. And now she left here on an impulse, his father would be knocked out again if he revived and knew this.

Susan gritted her teeth and still drove off. At some point, she started driving by herself again.

"I guess it means I'm growing up. And it's been imposed on me." Susan thought.

She drove straight to the hospital. No matter how late it was, Susan would come to the hospital every day. She didn't know whether her father would wake up, but she believed the miracle that the doctor had mentioned.

She pushed open the ward door. Edward was laying in bed, with the medical instruments sustaining his life. No matter how hard she hid her feelings, she couldn't keep her guise when facing her father in his hospital bed. And she knew her father wouldn't reply to her in any way. Susan lowered her eyes and felt sad. She used to think she had a home to return to no matter what happened, while now she suddenly felt like she had nothing left with her.

Then she eased her nerves and started to talk to her father, "I quarreled with Manuel today."

"He said I should feel sorry for not qualifying for this job."

"And he said this in front of all the senior managers, which made me feel very embarrassed." "Then I said I wanted to quit in a fit of temper."

"I was really mad at that time. Anyway, I was your daughter, I was Edward Phillips' daughter. Although my family is going downhill now, I'm still in high places. So how could he scold me like this? He had no idea how hard I put into this job, I even have dark circles under my eyes now." The more she said, the more grievance and more agitated she felt. But she didn't notice that someone appeared outside the ward. "Why do I work so hard? Right, I work hard because I want to stay at the bank. After all, the bank belongs to our family and I can't let it be taken away from me. I admit I have an ulterior motive. But more importantly, I want to share some of his burdens, because I saw he sometimes fall asleep at his desk tiredly. I felt sorry for him. But look what he did to me!" Susan said with anger, "He blamed me for my incompetence instead! I'm not a genius, and I'm not even smart as others. What could I do?"

The person standing at the door felt some sentiments stirring within him. But she didn't disturb Susan while she was talking to Edward.

"But, Dad." Susan said, "Even though he was mean to me and embarrassed me, I still feel regret now. Why did I have to do that? It won't hurt me to be scolded by him, so why can't I just put up with it? He was yelling at me because I'm really stupid. And it won't be difficult to admit it for me."

The person at the door seemed unable to suppress laughing. But she didn't laugh out loud, so Susan had no idea about there was a person at the door.

"Dad, if I go back to apologize to him right now, will he let bygones be bygones and allow me to stay at the bank?"

Susan was thinking about it seriously. But she felt flinched at the thought of Manuel's cold face. She was furious at his scolding, but now she felt great regret. "When am I gonna stop being impulsive like this?" she thought. Susan was so upset and nervous now.

"Maybe you can have a try." A voice suddenly came from the door.

Susan was taken aback. She turned back and found that Justine was standing leaning against the door, looking at her as if she was amused.

"When did you get here?" Susan felt embarrassed.

"Then how much of what I just said to my dad did she hear?" Susan thought.

She could almost imagine how Justine would laugh at her.

"What if she tells this to Manuel..." At this thought, Susan just wanted to kill herself.

"For a while." Justine thought back and then said earnestly, "Probably from the moment you said you worked hard for your job."

"Fuck! Then she heard everything I just said!" Susan thought.

"Why didn't you say anything to me? Don't you think it's brassy to eavesdrop on me?" Susan was mad.

"I wasn't eavesdropping, I was listening. And you were having such a good time with your dad, so it would be rude of me to interrupt you."

Susan felt angry because she could never get past Justine in a quarrel. Then she got up and left her father's bed.

"Out of sight, out of mind!" She thought.

"Are you leaving?" Watching Susan's action, Justine asked.

"Yeah," Susan replied.

"You need me to say something to Manuel for you?"

"Say what?" Susan was instantly agitated.

"Say I want to give you a chance and let you go back to the Bank."

"No, thanks! I don't want to go back."

"You'll regret it."

Susan wanted to say she wouldn't regret it until she died, but she just couldn't get these words out of her mouth. Watching Susan's sullen face, Justine couldn't help but laugh, "Manuel is quite obliging, and he doesn't take those childish people seriously."

"Are you saying I'm childish?" Susan was furious. She couldn't believe Justine not only satirized her but also laughed at her.

"I just want to warn you. It's up to you to do that." Justine shrugged with indifference and generousness like she was an elegant lady, standing a sharp contrast to Susan who was short-tempered now. Because he had such an outstanding mother, Susan even started to wonder if Manuel had been blind in falling in love with her.

Then Susan left the ward, gritting her teeth. She used to hate Justine no matter what had happened between her and Manuel, and what had happened between Justine and her father. Although now she still had little good to say of Justine, she was touched by Justine because Justine didn't run out on her father after his accident and visited him a lot.

Then Susan got back to her car again while being sulky.

She decided to return to the Phillips Bank, but she backed down as soon as she recalled Manuel's face.

Shit.

Susan gritted her teeth.

"It's not the first time I've made a fool of myself in front of Manuel. That's how he sees me, anyway. So things can't get any worse." She told herself.

So she sped up and drove to the company again.

"I just have to admit to him that I was wrong," Susan thought, "So the worst he can do is kick me out."
