Chapter 887 Clarification

Susan was down, lying in bed as quietly as a mouse. Manuel looked at her several times. Usually, he would tell her to chill out and keep her voice down while she was loud and talking endlessly. But he wasn't used to it when she behaved herself.

"What's wrong?" asked Manuel.

"Nothing." Said Susan in low spirits.

"Come on. Just tell me." Manuel said in a low voice, "You don't want to go to work?"

"Nah." She said and turned over to look at him seriously.

Manuel frowned and felt uncomfortable whenever Susan looked at him that way, feeling like she would jump up on him the next second. He wallowed and said, "What's bothering you then?"

"I'm afraid you'll hook up with Clara when you get back to work," Susan spoke out in the end.

Manuel couldn't help smiling. Gosh! He thought it was something big.

"Oh god! You smiled!" Susan was about to blow up, "You smiled when you heard her name!"

Manuel was at a loss for words. He smiled because she had made a fuss about it.

"Don't forget it's me who's been there looking after you without slacking off for four months! Be grateful! Don't act like a jerk"

Manuel was speechless again, thinking she was taking the credit.

"Listen, Manuel. If you hook up with Clara, I... I swear I'll kick your ass!" roared Susan, her face turning red with anger.

"I won't." Said Manuel.

"Are you sure?" Susan looked at him in earnest. It melted Manuel's heart when she looked at him in the eyes, which were filled with grievance.

"Yeah." He nodded and said.

"What if she throws herself on you? Damn it! It sounds like I'm the other woman who tries to steal you away." Murmured Susan. She didn't have the confidence to win his heart. "No." Said Manuel bluntly.

"What?"

"I mean you're not the other woman." Said Manuel word by word.

"So, Clara is the other woman?" asked Susan with her eyes wide open.

"No." Said Manuel.

Susan was confused.

"There isn't a thing between Clara and me." Explained Manuel.

"How could you say that? You've slept with her!" Susan felt heartbroken to say it.

She gave her virginity to Manuel and hadn't slept with any other guys. She had even rejected others who were having a crush on her. But Manuel had sex with other women easily. Susan couldn't wait to kill Clara when she thought that she had tasted Manuel's sexy body.

"When did I sleep with her?" asked Manuel confusingly. How could she defame him?

"Do you still remember once I went on a business trip after you lectured me? I came back and tried to talk to you in the office, only to replace you and Clara... having sex in the restroom." Susan got choked up, "Why didn't you go to the hotel? Why must you do it in the office?"

Manuel tried hard to recall it and said after a long while, "I wasn't in the office that day."

"What?" Susan was frozen.

"Did you see me in person?"

"Nope."

"How could you be sure I was doing something with her?"

"I heard her voice. She asked you if you were coming. And she even made the sex moans... ah... oh yeah..." Susan imitated.

"Fine. Stop it." Manuel blushed to hear Susan's sex sound imitation.

"That's how Clara did it." Susan pouted.

"I was in Hannah's office that day. I got something to discuss with her. I wasn't in my office."

"Jeez! Clara fooled me on purpose!" Susan was suddenly enlightened, "Damn it! What a bitch! You know what, I've forced myself to stay away from you since then. I thought you were dating her and you must be in a serious relationship, and I can't be the other woman!"

Manuel looked gloomy. Surprisingly, Clara would have gone that far. He knew Clara had a crush on him, however, he kept her as his secretary only for the sake of her father. In that case, he should transfer her to another department as soon as he got back to work.

"You mean there is nothing between you?" said Susan happily.

"Nothing." Said Manuel.

"How about Martina? Did you sleep with her?" Susan appeared she didn't care but just asked.

Manuel glimpsed at her and said, "Nope."

"Really? But she was naked in front of you. You didn't want her?" said Susan with wild joy.

"I wasn't attracted to her."

"How could you control yourself? She was a looker."

Manuel said nothing in response.

"Indeed. You could refuse to have sex with me even when you were drugged. They are not as hot as I am!" said Susan confidently.

Manuel had seen it coming. Susan was totally over herself.

"Tell me. How did you manage to control yourself? I've been drugged, too. And I can never forget that feeling. It was killing me. How did you do it?" asked Susan out of curiosity.

Manuel would never tell her how much he had regretted kicking her out of the room.

"Manuel," Susan said and hugged him out of a blue.

Manuel was stunned. Then Susan unconsciously twisted her body.

"I love you so badly." Susan threw herself into his arms and rubbed herself against him.

Manuel was turned on and got hot all over, but even so, he didn't want to push her away. He kept swallowing hard, thinking that he had asked for it himself.

The next day, Susan wheeled Manuel to the office. It'd been four months. Susan found it hard to get herself back to work. They went into Manuel's office together in the glare of the employees. Clara didn't expect Manuel would suddenly come back to work. To be exact, she didn't have a clue where Manuel and Susan had left for that night. Of course, the news of that intentional car accident was blocked, and very few people had heard about it. So, Clara didn't know Manuel had a terrible car accident. Instead, she thought Susan had taken him away. She tried calling or texting him but got no reply. She was running out of patience and thinking of quitting. However, Manuel came back all at once.

Clara got excited. She was surprised to see Manuel sitting in the wheelchair and stepped forward to ask with concern, "Mr Johnson, finally you're back. Oh god! You've been away for four months. Where have you been?"

Her soft and tender voice sounded a little coquettish. She was sucking up to Manuel. Susan rolled her eyes, wondering if Clara could be more shameless. She would have been pissed by her fake intimacy if Manuel hadn't told her the truth.
