Chapter 888 Girlfriend's Benefits
Clara said and tried to take Susan's place to wheel Manuel. Susan smiled evilly and pushed her away with force. Clara took a few steps backwards and almost fell on the floor. In a flash, she flew into a rage. "It's very kind of you, Miss Clara, but Mr Johnson wants no one else to push his wheelchair." Said Susan arrogantly.
Clara glared at her ferociously, wondering what had happened in the past four months to make Susan so confident in their relationship. She gritted her teeth and swore that she would never let Susan have it her way.
In a second, she acted tender and fragile, "I'm Mr Johnson's secretary, and I should do my job, instead of giving you trouble, Miss Philips. Sorry that I've crossed the line."
She looked like she was wronged with that look on her face. Clara always knew Manuel was sympathetic and soft-hearted, and he would possibly give in when she put on that innocent face. The case was the same this time. She was waiting for Manuel to speak for her.
"Keep yourself in line now that you know you've crossed the line." Said Susan.
Clara stared at Manuel, who hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end. She gritted her teeth and held back her anger.
Susan walked into the office with Manuel and helped him sit in the office chair.
Clara followed behind them and watched them acting intimate like a couple, thinking about what on earth had happened between them. How come they were suddenly so close to each other? Had they been back together?
For Manuel, she had given up working in the City Hall and even demeaned herself to be a secretary with no future. She was well paid but she would be more respected and valued in the City Hall. She had made huge self-sacrifice, but Manuel just turned a cold shoulder to her and got back together with Susan. She tried hard to hold back the rage and watched them doing lovey-dovey stuff under her nose. "Clara," Manuel uttered all at once.
Clara put on a smile, which was opposite to her heart and against her will. Susan rolled her eyes. Honestly, she couldn't despise Clara more since she knew Clara had put on a show to make her believe she had a relationship with Manuel.
"Yes, Mr Johnson." Said Clara respectfully and obediently.
"From now on, you'll work in the General Affairs Department. You're very capable. You have great interpersonal skills. You were born to work in the human resource field. "
"Mr Johnson..." Clara couldn't believe Manuel was kicking her away.
"I've talked to the General Affairs Department. You'll work as the supervisor. Turn to your boss if you have any questions." Said Manuel coldly.
"Can I just stay and work for you?" said Clara. She was here for Manuel only. She didn't give a damn about this job.
"No." Manuel rejected it without hesitation.
Clara stared at Manuel with her eyes swelled with tears.
"What have I done wrong? Why do you want me to go?" Saying it, Clara burst into tears and looked sad.
Manuel looked at her ruthlessly and said indifferently, "Clara, you're working in a company, not the entertainment circle. It can't be more common that you're transferred to another position. You can talk to the HR Department if you have any questions about your job. I'm busy now."
Manuel no longer wanted to see her or listen to her complaints. Clara was stunned and couldn't believe Manuel had been so heartless to her. Manuel didn't love her, but he wouldn't go too far for the sake of her father. However, he had left her no wriggle room this time. Clara sucked with it and told herself to put up with the small matters. Otherwise, she would ruin the big plan. In no way would she just let go at that.
She wiped her tears and said, "OK, Mr Johnson. I'll follow your order and register in the General Affairs Department."
Manuel was distracted and turned a deaf ear to her.
Seeing this, Susan was over the moon. Clara had given her hard times but she had eventually vented her anger and sought revenge. She couldn't be happier when she saw Clara leave in despair. Clara also noticed Susan's wild smile when she got out of the office. So far, she hadn't been so humiliated. Clara left and closed the door.
Susan was still savouring the pleasure of revenge in Manuel's office.
"What are you doing here? Go back to your office and start working."
If anyone could change his face in a flash, it must be Manuel.
"Sort out the work you've left behind in the past four months. Make a new working plan. Get back to me by 5 PM today."
She didn't get the picture. She was still suffering though she had got rid of Clara. Susan was a little mad and about to leave. Suddenly, she ran back to Manuel, who frowned confusingly. The next second, Susan pouted her lips and kiss him hard. Manuel was frozen right there.
"Girlfriend's benefit!" Susan smiled complacently.
"I didn't say you're my girlfriend," Manuel said coldly. He was an ass at work.
"You kicked the bitch away for me." Said Susan.
"I did it for myself. I don't want dishonest people around me."
"You're the dishonest one." Susan saw him through.
Manuel looked at her indifferently.
"You love my kiss, but you just pretended you were disgusted with it!" Susan smiled naughtily, "I bet you would use your tongue if I kissed you a little longer."
"Susan!" thundered Manuel.
Susan rubbed her ears. Manuel was hot-tempered, she thought. She trotted out of his office immediately.
Manuel thought Susan was a real piece of work and it took him long to calm down and focus on work. Unconsciously, he licked his lips and flushed furiously. He found himself always out of control when Susan approached him.
In the Cooper Manor, Hannah got a call from Oscar.
"Hannah, I can't go see you recently." Said Oscar. He had promised to be back on the day.
"It's okay. I know you're busy. Salem and I are great. I took him to the hospital for an occasional checkup today. The doctor said he's fine and healthy like the other peer kids. Don't worry.
"It's Lillian's due date." Explained Oscar.
Hannah counted the time and guessed Lillian would be in labour in the coming few days.
"I'll stay with her in the hospital."
"I see." Hannah smiled and accepted the fact that he was staying for Lillian's delivery.
