Chapter 908 Susan's Response

Susan just hid her suspicion and said, "Easy on the wine. We'll get a lot of chances to drink. Not necessary tonight."

Clara almost screamed out at that moment. She drank with more than 10 people to get Susan to drink the water, and she wanted to vomit, but Susan turned her down so easily.

Clara took the glass and insisted, "But that's later on, now a toast to you. I know there may be some conflicts between us, but all was for my job, and I had no other personal thoughts. Miss Phillips, if you do no drink the toast with me, then I will assume that you're not satisfied with my work."

Susan was a bit wordless. However, if she refused in front of all these people, it seemed that their company had internal conflicts. So she picked up her glass.

Clara was a little excited as she saw that, and hastened to say, "Cheers."

With that, she wanted to take a sip.

"Wait." Susan stopped her.

Clara was almost driven crazy.

"Since you're so sincere, it seems a little too inadequate for me to drink just water." Susan said bluntly, "Waiter."

A waiter came forward respectfully.

"Pour me a glass of wine please." Said, Susan.

Clara was going to blow up, with her face turning livid, which was noticeable to the onlookers. In the meantime, she was shivering in a fury.

"What's wrong?" Susan looked at Clara's change in complexion and looked concerned, "Is something wrong? Too much wine?"

"No." Clara tried to calm herself. She was clear that if she lost control at this moment, her plan would be completely screwed up. Moreover, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of so many people. She got up and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to use the restroom."

"Do you want me to keep you company? I think you're not feeling well." Said, Susan.

"No, thanks."

After that, Clara left in no time.

As she stormed straight into the restroom, she couldn't help but scream out.

How she wished to choke Susan to death! That bitch should pay for what she had done to her tonight.

Clara was trying to compose herself in there, while Susan in the dining hall was in a good mood. Susan thought it was a piece of cake to piss Clara off.

Then she glanced at the glass of water in front of her. Clara must have done something to her water, Susan reckoned. If that was in the past, she wouldn't have thought much about it. In her opinion, she had no desire to harm others, and they certainly would not harm her. But after being through what had happened between her and Henry, she'd changed; she'd evolved.

Since Clara could make her misunderstand that she had a relationship with Manuel in a despicable way, she could have done anything to harm her.

On second thought, Susan switched the two glasses of water in front of her.

She wanted to see what kind of tricks Clara would play.

Clara came back about ten minutes later. When she came back to her seat, she seemed to get her sanity back.

Susan kind of admired her for her patience.

"Are you alright?" asked Susan, sarcastically.

Clara glanced at her, and she almost get furious again as she saw Susan's face. She secretly clenched her fists, reminding herself to be calm.

"I'm fine. I just got a little bit dizzy, I'm better now." Clara continued, "I'm sorry."

"No worries." Susan smiled, "I drink a lot too, and I know all too well what it's like to get drunk. Since you can't drink more, let's stop here. I know you're dedicated, but it's not for you to take your life." That was not what Clara wanted to hear, which only added to her anger.

Of course, Susan didn't mean to care about her. She said so to start the things she was about to do next.

"Didn't you just toast me?" asked Susan.

Clara gritted her teeth and picked up her glass. After all, she had said that she would like to toast Susan before everyone.

Susan took the glass from Clara's hand.

"Sometimes, we can avoid alcohol. I appreciate your sentiment, let's just drink water instead. When we're both convenient next time, we'll make it up with wine." Said Susan.

Clara was a little surprised. But before she could react, Susan handed a glass to her, with another one in her other hand.

"We'll just have water instead of wine." Said Susan.

Clara's heart was racing. Excited, she didn't expect such an opportunity. She had just thought about giving up in the bathroom a few minutes ago and she had been ready for her failure tonight. Clara smiled slyly, while she thought to herself, "Susan, you're weak in the head, don't blame me for that!"

She hastened to reply, "Okay. I did drink too much and I just threw up in the restroom. Thank you for your consideration, Miss Phillips."

Susan laughed a little. Clara's words made her more trust her guts.

They clinked the glasses.

Clara drained the water in her glass to show her sincerity.

Susan could only finish the water in her glass too. Seeing that, Clara was rendered in a good mood, and she became much friendlier to Susan.

Ignoring all Clara's changes, Susan continued to enjoy the meal.

It was a little late at the end of the dinner. By the time it was over, Clara was passed out on the table. There were some others who got drunk and bent over the table as well.

"Thank you, Miss Phillips, for coming to our business event in person." The organizer reached out in a parting gesture of courtesy.

"My pleasure, Mr Hale. We've all worked hard today, so go home early."

"Please let me send you back." The organizer was enthused.

"No, thanks, my driver is right outside."

"Then take care, Miss Phillips."

Susan nodded. Then she turned her head to Tammy and said, "Help Clara."
