Chapter 905 Bossy Susan

Susan saw the message sent by Manuel.

She turned off her phone instantly, feeling scared by his "threat". More exactly, she was somewhat frightened by his eroticism.

Then she quickly put on makeup and got dressed before going out.

Manuel stared at his phone for a long while, and he got no reply. A smile was revealed on his face.

Sitting next to him, Theodore noticed Manuel's smile and asked him in a whisper, "Who are you talking to?"

Manuel was startled and forced a serious face the next second.

"Susan's hitting on you?" Theodore smiled slyly.

Manuel didn't say anything and put his phone in his pants pocket silently.

"Don't be shy, I get you." Theodore said while putting his arm on Manuel's shoulder, "I'll free you in a while."

"Mhm." Manuel didn't refuse.

Theodore laughed out loud, considering it a perfectly good relationship between Manuel and Susan although he didn't like Susan that much.

Susan was still tired after she arrived at the office. Makeup was not enough to cover her haggard face.

"Miss Phillips, what's wrong with you?" The secretary was a little surprised to see her. Susan was always energetic in her eyes, especially when she was around Manuel. Thus, the secretary deemed she was in low spirits because their chairman, Mr Johnson, was absent today.

"Nothing." Susan said faintly, "Make me a cup of coffee."

"Yes."

"Wait,"

"Yes?"

"Do you think coffee will affect the baby?"

The secretary almost got choked, and she asked excitedly after quite a while of silence, "Miss Phillips, are you pregnant?!"

"No," said Susan.

"You scared me." The secretary breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it shouldn't be too far away." Susan was in a good mood while thinking that soon there would be a baby for her and Manuel.

"You and Mr Johnson..." The secretary hesitated to ask.

"Yeah." Susan nodded.

Never did she manage to hide things from others, especially when it came to good things.

"No wonder you are not in good spirits, it turns out that you overindulged."

Susan didn't retort but murmured, "Manuel looks so weak, how come he has such good stamina in bed?"

The secretary was rendered shy and embarrassed. She bumped into Manuel during her lunch break several times, seeing him running the stairs to work out in the safety lane. And she thought a sweaty man like him was sexy and strong.

"Go make me a cup of milk." Susan took a deep breath and decided to lift her spirits.

"Okay."

The secretary left. She went to the pantry to prepare Susan's milk.

"Why are you drinking milk?" A colleague came over and joked with her, "Milk is prepared for the pregnant ladies at the company. What? Are you pregnant? Didn't you say you don't even have a boyfriend?" "It wasn't for me. It's for Miss Phillips."

"Miss Phillips?" her colleague sounded surprised, "You mean..."

The secretary smiled meaningfully as she said, "Don't you spread the word."

"I'm sure it's confidential."

As a result, as soon as the colleague returned to her seat, she excitedly posted inside an online private chatting group of the company, "Miss Phillips is pregnant."

And she added at the end, "Don't spread the word, please."

Then, the news of Susan's "pregnancy" spread throughout the whole company.

Clara, of course, heard about it as well. Knowing Susan was pregnant with Manuel's baby, she was in fury. She insisted that Susan had Manuel by her body instead of his feelings for her.

After Susan got the milk, she began to listen to the secretary's report on the schedules for today's business event.

"Who did you say the General Department is sending to attend with me?" Susan raised her eyebrows.

"Clara,"

"Why her?" Susan was not pleased.

"Shall I go back and tell them to send someone else?"

"Mhm." Susan nodded.

Tammy didn't like Clara either. She still held a grudge against Clara because of Clara's tricks on Susan and her last time.

A moment later, however, Clara arrived at Susan's office. She was suppressing her anger at Susan.

"May I ask, what did I do wrong, Miss Phillips? You refused me to accompany you to the event," said Clara.

"I don't like you," Susan said carelessly.

That pissed Clara off, while Tammy snickered beside them.

"Miss Phillips, you are the general manager of the company, so please be clear about what is public and what is private. If it is not because of my work, so please retract your words about not allowing me to accompany you. That will affect my supervisor's evaluation of my work. I have the right to appeal to the company and the chairman of the board."

This woman just knew how to use Manuel to pressure her.

At the thought that Manuel had almost failed to come back home last night because of her, Susan got an idea in her mind.

"Since you insist, I allow you to go with me." Said Susan, with a sly look.

Her sudden compromise made Clara alert.

"What?" Susan raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing. I will go with you to the event on time and do my best to do my duty." Clara was back to business as usual in an instant.

"Get out." Susan waved her hand.

Clara paid a bow and left.

When she closed the door, Clara put on a sinister smile.

"Miss Phillips, why did you agree anyway?" asked Tammy, confused.

"I know you hate her, and I hate her too. But we don't need to avoid her, instead, we can torture her!"

"What does it mean?" Tammy was dumbfounded by Susan's comment.

"You'll replace out tonight." Susan smiled wickedly.

At 3 PM, Susan took Clara and her secretary, Tammy, with her to attend the business event.

From the beginning to the end, Susan had been ordering Clara to do things like replaceing a back cushion for her and looking for a scarf for her. She put aside the premium drinks prepared for her by the organizer and asked Clara to buy her bubble tea in a store a few miles away.

When Clara bought the tea back after lining up for two hours on a hot day, Susan said she didn't want to drink it and gave it to Tammy.

Clara was rendered so exasperated.
