After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Are You in Love with Oscar?

Hannah returned to her office. She checked the time and suddenly didn't expect anything on it. She'd thought Oscar would come back today.
Well, just forget it. She didn't need to waste time on thinking of him and saved the time to focus on her work. Thinking of it, Hannah made herself concentrate on work again. She'd arranged the work specifically for each department, and she had to focus on some very difficult projects next.
She went through the ledger of the Planning Department. Suddenly, she fixed her eyes on the municipal planning project of 'South Bay New Town'.
This was a very important project to Kensbury for this year and the coming three years. It would be planned and built as an international metropolis, and it would be the example and standard of the cities in Northfield, which were gonna run for the world-class cities. So, the City Hall was gonna invest big in it. In other words, whoever could win the bid for the construction of this project would make a killing in the following five years.
In her previous life, Sawyer Group had won the project.
Normally, Cooper Group should handle such kind of project. After all, Cooper Group was specialized in real estates and it could do better than Sawyer Group in every way. But in her previous life, Hannah talked her father into giving up the project to Sawyer Group in order to help them cover the deficit resulting from poor management. Sawyer Group had made a fortune in the project and rocketed to be a big corporation valued as much as Wells Group, and it had also surpassed Cooper Group and Phillips Bank at the same time.
But Hannah just smiled coldly this time. By no means would she let Sawyer Group have their way. Instead, she would get them into real troubles.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Hannah paid a glimpse at it and answered the phone, "Hello, Susan."
"Hannah, I'm so bored." Susan complained on the phone.
"Why? Aren't you working?" asked Hannah.
"Yep. That's why I'm so bored." Susan sounded desperate and said, "You can't believe what kind of job my father has given me!"
"Oh, tell me." Hannah asked out of curiosity.
"Financial accountant." Susan said it and felt like crying.
"Come on. That's not bad! As a financial accountant, you can be the first one to know the income situation of the company, and it helps you get to know the company better."
"But they're all Greek to me! I can't understand those freaking numbers at all. Seriously, I even dream of those horrifying numbers. It's driving me crazy!"
"What do you want me to do?" Hannah asked, knowing Susan wouldn't call for nothing.
"I want you to have dinner with me. I must get it off my chest. Otherwise, I'll be crazy."
Hannah checked the time. In fact, she'd planned to work overtime tonight to figure out the construction of the 'South Bay New Town' project. But she thought of it and said, "OK. You got it."
Actually, Hannah thought it was time to have a girl talk with Susan. After all, Susan had been married for some time but she didn't pay much attention to her life after marriage. Suddenly, she got a feeling that she wasn't a good bosom friend.
"OK. See you at 6pm. The same place."
"Will Manuel be there too?"
"Come off it! Can you just don't mention him?" Susan said in rage.
Hannah rubbed her ears, wondering why Susan got so mad.
'Sooner or later, you'll know how good Manuel Johnson is!' Hannah thought to herself.
Hannah went to HEROIC with Jimmy at 6pm. Susan had been waiting for her in a private room.
In fact, Hannah set out right after she got off work, but got stuck in the traffic jam as it was the rush hour in the downtown. Phillips Bank was further from here than Cooper Group was, but Susan had arrived earlier. Obviously, she had skipped work. Hannah was wondering how difficult it would be for Edward to discipline Susan and convince her to concentrate on work.
"A moment. I'll talk to you later after I finish this game." Susan glanced at Hannah and went back to playing games on the phone.
Hannah was kinda speechless. People around her were so obsessed with games but she wasn't interested in it at all. She felt she was kinda against the grain.
"Focus on your game. I'll order." Hannah said, since she'd been used to it.
"You know my favorite dishes, right?"
"Sure." said Hannah.
Susan said nothing else and just focused on the game on her phone.
Hannah ordered and waited for several minutes.
"Fuck! Lost again! ?" Susan cursed impatiently and looked unhappy.
Hannah just couldn't understand what was the fuss about a game. At the moment, she suddenly thought of Theodore, who screamed out wildly each time he went absent-minded and made a mistake on his mobile game.
"Susan, would you like to be introduced to a new friend?" she asked.
"Who?" Susan was annoyed but still put down her phone, and tried to chill out. All in all, she hadn't had a good day since she married Manuel. She'd been used to it.
"Theodore Wold."
"Pfff... That dumb-ass." Susan said and looked indifferent.
Hearing it, Hannah bite back the words, "You two are very much alike in personality." She was afraid that Susan would kick her ass if she spoke it out, but undoubtedly, they were both so thick.
"Oh, right. I think Oscar's having a tough time in his election campaign." Susan changed the topic abruptly and asked with earnest.
Hannah nodded her head.
"I've watched their lecture tours. Honestly, Charles is barely good at nothing, but he's way too tricky. You know what, he not only gave speeches on the spot to win the favor of the voters, but also paid people to come and canvass for him. He's doing it quite well. And he's really paid good money in the election! On the contrary, what is Oscar doing in the middle of nowhere? There are very few people there and they can hardly bring him publicity! I suggest you urge Oscar to come back ASAP since there are a couple of days left. Oscar is a looker. Perhaps he can still catch up."
So Susan was also an admirer of Oscar's handsome face, Hannah thought.
"Oscar has his plan."
"His plan is... to admit his defeat in another way." Susan was sure of it.
"That's not him."
"Oh, that's so him! Anyway, Oscar is a playboy. He's known as an expert in time management but after all, he fools around for most of the time in his life."
"Anyway, I believe him." Hannah said. She didn't want to explain much because she didn't know how to explain it. After all, she didn't know what Oscar was gonna do.
"Hannah, you're in love with Oscar, aren't you?" Suddenly, Susan asked seriously.
Hannah felt her heart leaping as if she had suddenly been crushed.
"You do love him, right?" Susan smiled naughtily and said, "You believe him unconditionally only when you are in love with him. Just as how you believed Charles back then."
"Oscar is different. They're not the same!" Hannah said in earnest.
"I didn't mean that..."
"What I felt for Oscar wasn't the same as what I felt for Charles." Hannah said firmly.
Susan frowned and wondered if she'd said something wrong. Why was Hannah serious all at once?
