Susan and Henry went back to Phillips Bank.
Neither was talking to anybody.
Henry beside her didn't disturb her as if he understood her.
Finally, they arrived at the building.
Susan went off the car.
Henry walked up to hold her hand. Susan paused for a second but didn't refuse him.
They held hands and went into Phillips Bank.
Susan watched the lift going up until they arrived at the floor.
But then she stood still in the elevator and didn't react. Henry held her and indicated that they arrived.
After glancing at Henry, Susan went out of the elevator.
When Callie saw Susan coming, she quickly went to greet her and even wanted to joke with a smile on her face. The next second she was embarrassed because she saw Henry holding her hand. Confused, she thought Manuel and Susan were a couple.
Callie felt too embarrassed to speak, while Susan didn't see her and walked to her seat directly. Then, Susan started packing her stuff.
Henry helped her clean up. But he was not so agile since he only had one hand available.
After a while, Callie couldn't help but ask, "Miss Phillips, did you resign?"
It was absurd.
After all, it was her father's company, she shouldn't be fired.
"No. I changed my position."
"So soon?" Callie was so surprised.
Susan looked cold.
"But you and Mr Johnson..." Before she could finish, she felt Henry look over with a cold look so she didn't dare to speak.
Callie went back to her seat and she looked over now and then.
It was hard for her to accept this. She felt sorry when she thought of the smile on Manuel's face this morning.
Finally, Susan packed up everything. She looked at the empty desk and felt lost. For the first time, she had nostalgia for a post after being forced to work in the company by her father.
Although she complained every day, she never came late and she worked overtime.
She intended to work hard at that moment.
She didn't know if she was used to working, or to someone.
She looked at the closed door and didn't know if Manuel found it hard to accept her sudden change.
Manuel didn't say anything on the phone. So she didn't know how to face him now.
"Susan," Henry held her hand.
Susan looked at him.
