After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 802

Chapter 802 Susan Offers an Apology

After returning to Phillips Bank, Susan struggled for a long time in the bank garage. She got off the car and got in, and then got off again. After many times she finally made up her mind.

Then she walked into the building. The employees who kept busy in the bank treated her respectfully when they saw her. They didn't seem to be judging her because of what happened at today's top meeting. Everyone still respected her. So she couldn't help but feel relieved now.

"It seems that these employees are highly qualified." She thought. With this thought, Susan walked with a little more dignity. Then she pressed the elevator button and stepped into the elevator. She didn't know whether she should go to Manuel's office or back to hers first.

After struggling for a while, she pressed the button for his floor. Then she watched nervously as the numbers slowly changed on the elevator screen.

"Ding-Dong."

Susan almost felt that even the smallest sound could frighten her. Taking a deep breath, she marched jauntily to Manuel's office in her high heels. But she lost her nerve immediately as she got to the office door. She still didn't dare to knock on the door and enter.

"What if he tells me to get out there once I walk in?" She thought.

She could even imagine that scene. The moment she was done with her internal struggle and ready to run away, the office door suddenly opened. Manuel appeared a the door, holding a document. His sight stopped on Susan for a second when he saw her. As Susan wanted to say something, he walked straight past her and towards the secretary's office nearby. He seemed to go there to arrange work. Being given a cold shoulder, however, Susan didn't leave. Although Manuel ignored her, Susan felt he wasn't that horrible after seeing him.

Finishing the work arrangement, Manuel went back to his office. He still ignored her completely. Susan brazened it out and went into Manuel's office following him. Sitting in the office chair, Manuel watched the computer screen and typed on the keyboard. He was dealing with his work earnestly like Susan didn't exist at all.

Susan stood in Manuel's office for a long time, but Manuel seemed to pay no attention to her at all. So she had no other way but to begin, "Well, I was a little impulsive this morning."

Manuel's fingers on the keyboard paused. But he still ignored her.

Susan compressed her lips and said, "I shouldn't be that impulsive. I said these stupid words because I was so embarrassed at that time. I won't talk back if you scold me next time, I swear."

Manuel was still cold to her, and he even didn't look at her. But Susan couldn't be reconciled to leaving. So she mustered up the courage and pulled out a gift box from her inside pocket.

Before she headed for the company, she wanted to come straight here. But after thinking about it, she decided to buy some gifts as an apology. That seemed to be what socializing was all about. So she went to the mall to buy a gift before coming to the bank. She picked her gift carefully for a long time. But she had no idea whether Manuel would like it.

She walked up to him and placed that delicate gift box in front of him.

Manuel's gaze stopped at it for a second. At this moment, he finally looked up at Susan. Then he glanced at the gift box in front of him.

"I noticed that your pen was broken after dropping on the ground accidentally at the last meeting, so I bought you a new one. The girl who sold me this pen said it's easy to use and perfect for signing. And it'll make your handwriting look better." Susan said with flatter.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, Manuel said in a deep voice, "Want to bribe me?"

"No, no, no." Susan hurriedly shook her head, "This is just a little gift. I just hope the unhappiness between us this morning can be wiped out."

Manuel stared at her. Susan felt a little uncomfortable because of his gaze.

Then she said, "Well, I'll let you get back to work. I'm leaving now."

"Hold on."

Susan bit her lip, thinking, "He must want to ask me to take the gift away. He must be going to ask me not to show up in front of him in the future."

She turned around to face him with a look like she was a condemned woman who was about to be executed.

"It's your future work plan." Manuel casually picked up the blue folder laying aside.
