Susan found it harder to calm herself after Henry left.
She seemed to be agitated about something.
Tossing and turning, she finally sat up on the bed and reached out for her phone unconsciously. But she found it had been taken away by Martina.
Henry told her to call him if she was scared but he knew that she'd lost her phone.
Susan bit her lips, wondering if Henry loved and deserved her. She told herself not to overthink it. Then she got dressed and left home.
Actually, she was still in a panic but somehow, she went out in the middle of the night, and she even drove by herself. The car had been in the garage for a long time.
She sat down on the driving seat, took a deep breath, started the car and stepped on it. She had to talk to Manuel to figure it out.
She was driving at an average speed, and her heart kept beating very fast. Susan parked the car and went up to Manuel's apartment. Staring at the door, she suddenly felt like chickening out.
Nervous, she wanted nothing but the truth.
She was supposed to pay him back or thank him appropriately if he had saved her tonight. She would drag herself out of the wishful thinking if it wasn't him.
Susan took a deep breath and finally input the password. But it said wrong. Manuel had changed the password. Susan didn't feel hurt but she got complicated feelings in mind.
Then she rang the doorbell.
It rang several times but nobody came to open the door.
Was Manuel still out? Or, did Manuel have anything to do with that explosive sound? Was he in danger or injured?
A sudden fear freaked her out, and her face turned deadly pale.
At that moment, the door was abruptly open, and Manuel stood there with an impatient face.
She wasn't welcomed here, Susan thought.
She got stunned for a second and couldn't say a word for a long while.
"What's the matter?" Manuel said lightly and broke the silence first.
"You were home?" Susan came back to earth and asked.
"Any problem?"
"You've been home all the time?" Susan asked again.
"Yeah."
"Did you..."
"What do you want?" Manuel said impatiently.
Susan bit her lips. In her eyes, Manuel was always so cold to her.
"I think you've met me tonight." Susan was a little upset.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Manuel said coldly, "It's late. I must go to bed."
"Wasn't it you tonight?" asked Susan. Somehow, her eyes were red with tears and she even didn't know what the disappointment was for. She just felt so bad.
