Chapter 834 The One Who Holds Accountable

"Give me the mouse," Manuel said in a frigid voice. Susan gave it to Manuel and also made the room for him. Manuel's face was extremely cold. Susan stood next to him, awed by his power. She thought that she definitely would be fired today.

Manuel took the mouse, quickly looked around, and then clicked the keyboard, beginning to write some code that Susan couldn't understand.

Susan couldn't understand, and neither could Tammy and Clara. They just saw the computer suddenly flashing a lot of dense symbols they didn't understand, making them feel that the code was advanced. It was very tense. No one dared to speak, nor to ask what he was doing.

About five minutes later. The code on the laptop stopped scrolling. Manuel took the mouse again and got the file folder they had just been looking for over and over. The missing file suddenly appeared in it. Everyone was in shock, including Clara, as well as Susan and Tammy.

Clara couldn't believe her eyes. She was sure that she had deleted it and emptied the Recycle Bin. How came the file suddenly came back? What had Manuel done exactly? What was all that code they couldn't read? She dared not to show any strange mood, just not feeling good inside her heart.

Manuel passed the mouse to Susan and said, "Come and see if this is the one that you're looking for?"

Susan quickly clicked on it, then found some key points and nodded, "Yes, this is it. How did you replace it..."

The words were not yet finished, but Manuel had already left with Clara, leaving Susan, silently.

Looking at his indifferent back, she still felt a bit hurt. But thinking twice, it was indeed her own mistake, and it was rather merciful for Manuel to help her. Maybe, she would be fired as soon as the day was over. Susan thought a lot, but at that moment she had to try her best to adjust her mood to report the work.

Manuel returned to his seat and the leader had already finished his work with his subordinate.

The leader began very politely, "My apology for the waiting, emergency business."

If there was no emergency, no one would dare to break in and report it.

Manuel nodded, "No worries."

"So, let's get started." Mr Brown said to his assistant.

And the assistant asked Susan again.

Susan then nodded.

The meeting began.

Susan started, "Hello, Mr Brown. I'm Susan Phillips, the general manager of Phillips Bank. It's a great honour for me to have the opportunity to introduce you to the cooperation scheme between us." "My pleasure." Mr Brown smiled.

Susan also gave a polite smile back, with no more chitchat, and went straight to the cooperation theme.

This project was given by Susan to Manuel, over ten times. She pretty much mastered it. And every time, Manuel would point out some of her problems, such as inappropriate tones, pronunciation mistakes, expressions, etc. Susan thought if it went like this, she could even be an actress.

The report lasted for a whole hour and ended perfectly.

Mr Brown stood up applauding Susan, and said, "Phillips Bank is full of talents. I'm so impressed by such a young and promising president. I thought a young talented man like him was the one in a million but didn't expect that Miss Phillips was the same extraordinary as him. I admire it!"

Praised in front of all these people, Susan was a little shy. She always felt that when facing Manuel, she was just like a village girl. How could she bear such big praise?

In addition, she had almost blown this project just now.

"I agreed." Mr Brown suddenly said, "I was a little hesitant about such a big cooperation project. Although Phillips Bank has a very long history, the young president... For older generations like us, you are just like teenage who would always let us worry. However, after meeting you two and hearing Miss Phillips' report, I have to say, the new overthrows the old."

"You're too modest, Mr Brown. We just have the guts, but our experience is far less than you and all other predecessors in this field. About a lot of business matters, we still need your help and guidance in the future." Manuel then said some decent words, not only praising themselves but also showing enough respect.

Mr Brown nodded with satisfaction.

"Needless to say, I'm also a sensitive person. I'd like to cooperate with people I appreciate." Mr Brown stretched out his hand, "Come on, wish a wonderful cooperation."

"Thank you, wish a wonderful cooperation."

The project was settled, and a lot smoother than expected. If it wasn't that small problem, they should have gone back and celebrated it at this moment.

But on their way back, it was getting awkward.

They went out of the building of WST. Manuel paused and asked, "What's wrong with the file today?"

As soon as his words came out, Tammy's eyes turned red again, and she said hurriedly, "It's me carrying Miss Phillips' laptop, and I don't know why the file would suddenly disappear, I... Clara, didn't you see as well at that time?"

"No, I didn't, but I was pretty sure that I checked with Tammy again and again, and she said it was in that file folder." Clara said, with a regretful expression, "If I had known, I should have checked it myself. I thought a secretary should have a careful and responsible attitude. I'm not saying that Tammy was not responsible, I mean I shouldn't have been so lazy. It's my fault."

She still pretended to be a victim.

After hearing Clara's words, Tammy turned agitated, "How could you say that? Didn't you see it at that time? You also said you needed to check it by yourself and I even opened it to show you, how could you say that you didn't see it? I was just wondering why the file would suddenly disappear. The only person who touched the laptop after I turned it off is you! It must be you, right?"

Clara knew that Tammy would say so, and she had already thought of a way to deal with it. Her eyes turned red immediately and she talked back, "Tammy, how could you blame it on me? When I came to remind you, you had turned off the laptop, and then you gave the laptop to me and said that Miss Phillips hadn't arrived. In case she would be late, you told me to go to WST to prepare first. I was doing all these for you, how could you now accuse me in return?"

Clara looked wronged.
