Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458 The Game (1)

Edward didn't want to disappoint Manuel, so he nodded, "Fine, I trust you."
"Then I should go now."
"Manuel." Edward called him.
"Yes?" Manuel looked at him"
"Justine..." Edward hesitated to finish his words.
Manuel said, "She hasn't been in a good mood recently and is upset about Susan's abortion. So she went on a trip to relax. And I think the relationship between my mother and you... Maybe you should deal with it by yourselves. It will be easier for you without my intervention."
"That's right." Edward didn't say much. Although it was obvious that Justine didn't want to see him these days.
"Then I'll go."
"Okay."
Manuel walked out of Edward's office. He had no idea if his mother still wanted to be with Edward, but he would be supportive no matter what she did. So, he chose to stand by.
Manuel walked into the elevator. It was about lunchtime and he wanted to take the elevator from the chairman's office on the top floor to the canteen on the third floor. It was rush hour. Gradually, the elevator was filled with people. He was pushed to a corner and heard the lightest gossip in the crowd, "Have you seen the news? Mr Johnson and Miss Phillips got divorced! That explains why Miss Phillips and Mr Parker are so intimate. The last time when I saw them doing something fishy in the office, I thought she was cheating on him. It turns out that they've already divorced."
"I don't understand why Miss Phillips doesn't like Mr Johnson. He is cute."
"That doesn't count. Mr Johnson is lame! No one wants to marry a disabled man." A woman said, "That's true. I would rather choose Mr Parker as well."
"Welcome to the real world." She sighed.
"We'll do the same thing... Sh!" They suddenly stopped because the door opened and another two came in.
They were Susan and Henry, who worked on different floors. It was obvious that Henry went to Susan's office. They behaved themselves in public and just stood side by side. The two gossipy people touched each other as if they reminded the other to take a look at Susan and Henry. They were spying on scandals.
Soon, they arrived at the third floor. People in the elevator left one by one but Manuel didn't want to eat in the canteen anymore. So he stayed and wanted to go to the ground floor. Just when the door was about to close, someone blocked it by hand suddenly. Susan came in hurriedly and saw Manuel. Her expression altered a little and slowly she walked in.
She forgot her phone and even just lunch, she felt insecure without it. But she never thought that she would run into Manuel. He pressed the button and asked, "Which floor?"
Susan paused and said hurriedly, "13."
Manuel pressed the button for her. The elevator was rising and the two kept silent.
"Why don't you have lunch?" Susan could not help asking.
"I've ordered the food delivery.
"I thought you never ate takeaway food." Susan frowned. She remembered that this man was unbelievably self-disciplined.
"People change," Manuel said stonily.
Susan bit her lips and thought he meant something more. They arrived at the 13th floor soon and Manuel pressed to close when she walked out of the elevator. And the elevator had left when she turned her head. Susan took a deep breath and decided to stay away from him.
...
Manuel came back to his office and ordered a food delivery. After that, he called Hannah, "Hi, Hannah, do I disturb you?"
"No." Hannah just finished the bento made by Max and she was full.
"Why? Anything big?"
"Today the directors of the board said I wasn't qualified."
"And?"
"I shut it out."
"So..."
"I find Henry got a lot of advocates in Phillips Bank."
"I knew." Hannah was calm, "Edward is getting old and pays less attention to the company. He lets Henry make the decision. After all, Henry is quite responsible. So it's reasonable for him to win their respects."
"When you settle it down, I will make arrangements with Phillips Bank's personnel."
"Brilliant." Hannah couldn't agree anymore.
"Just want to tell you what I saw in Phillips Bank. Then, I won't disturb your lunch break."
"Okay."
"Oh, right." Manuel just thought of something, "I've heard that you and Oscar have a baby plan."
"..." How could he say something so embarrassing?
"Good luck to you." Manuel also learned how to tease.
"All right. I'll go," she said.
"Bye."
Hanging up the phone, Hannah could not help touching her belly.
Would they make it this time?
She had never thought about having kids, but she was so nervous that she wanted to be a mother right now because of Oscar. She was easily affected by him.
...
In the afternoon, Hannah was busy when Rose knocked excitedly.
"What?" Hannah looked at her.
"Bills' secretary just called and said he would like to meet you at the hotel he lived in at 10 AM tomorrow to talk about the international e-commerce project." Rose barely controlled herself, "Ms Hannah, what did you say to him at yesterday's banquet? How could he initially give us the chance? It's amazing!"
Hannah chuckled. She didn't think it would be easy. "Okay. I get it. Let Tan in."
"Yes." Rose nodded hurriedly and added, "I am a big fan of you, Ms Hannah."
"That's it, my spaniel."
"I do admire you a lot," Rose said seriously.
"Got that." Hannah waved, "Just go."
She didn't feel excited at all, which made Rose admire her even more.
People like Hannah couldn't fail to be someone, Rose thought to herself.
Soon, Tan walked in, "Ms Hannah, you want to see me?"
Hannah nodded, "Bills Jones just called for cooperation. What do you think?"
