After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 368

Hannah felt bad when she received Charles’ phone call. She was clearly aware of what he was going to say. Undoubtedly, he must want to take a dig at her with his current “self-satisfaction” after being oppressed by her.

She didn’t pick up the phone, and she said to Rose, “Tell the board I’m not feeling well so I can’t attend the meeting.”

“But...” Rose was put in a quandary. She had been informed to ask Hannah to attend the meeting by the board. Obviously, they intended to hold her accountable for the failure. In this case, Hannah would be criticized. But if she didn’t show up, the situation would only get worse because of the attitude problem.

Rose was surprised for she always thought Hannah was the person who would never shirk her responsibilities.

“I’ll call my father later. You may go out and start your work.” Said Hannah.

Rose nodded her head. Before she left, she said. “Ms Hannah, take it easy. Failure does not mean anything, let alone their success is suspicious. How did they achieve in completing such a perfect scheme as a layman! And the quota is suspicious as well. Why they quoted so accurately 9.9 billion as we quoted 10 billion? It was just 100 million lower than us!”

Rose didn’t think it was a coincidence. Hannah gave a slight smile, but she didn’t explain to her.

“Forget about it. I’ll deal with it myself. You may go now.”

Rose said nothing more. She believed a strong woman did not need too much comfort from others, or she would doubt her competence.

After Rose left, Hannah called her father immediately.

“Hi, dad.”

Miguel said in a low voice, “Where are you now? We are all waiting for you.”

“I won’t attend the meeting.” Said Hannah.

Miguel frowned. He didn’t think his daughter was wayward, nor would she be defeated by the failure. Although the board might complain about this, what he was to do was to back his daughter up.

“Don’t overthink it, dad. I am not defeated by the failure of bidding, instead, I’m tired now and need a rest. I don’t want to cheat the directors so I’d better not show up.”

Miguel understood her words except for the last ones.

What did she mean she didn’t want to cheat the directors?

What she was going to do?

“Dad, can I have a week off?” Hannah asked suddenly.

Miguel was shocked again for he knew clearly how workaholic Hannah was. Hannah had even been working on weekends these days. She barely got herself a rest. So Miguel was pretty surprised to know she wanted to have the day off.

“Hannah, you can have the day off whenever you want. But at the moment I’m afraid you will be gossiped about.” Miguel said immediately.

She must be described as letting herself go to seed because of her failure.

“I don’t mind it. Outcome counts most than process.” Hannah smiled.

“I’m worried about you.” Miguel had the phone call with Hannah directly despite his being in the meeting room. His daughter was the most important to him, and nothing could compare with her. He didn’t care whether he lost a project worth ten billion or not!

“Don’t worry, dad. I’m fine. I just want a couple of days off. I’ll be back to work next Monday.”

Miguel hesitated for a while and finally agreed, “OK, have a good rest. But you need to come back home for rest, your mom will be by your side.”
