After breakfast, Hannah was planning to go to the backyard to bask in the sun. She was trying hard to live peacefully in this house.
The phone rang again, and she answered it, "Hi, Manuel."
"Are you at the villa?"
"What else?" Hannah chuckled.
Manuel also smiled and said, "I'm coming to see you."
"Why?"
"I have something to tell you."
"Can't you say it over the phone?"
Manuel paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
He couldn't help but feel that Hannah still rejected him after all.
"Sarah will be in the Cooper Group."
Hannah sneered. That was something unsurprising for her. Even though Oscar had hit Sarah in front of her that day, so what? Under the intimidation of the Collins family, Oscar would compromise more.
"Oscar has no choice." Manuel tried to explain.
"You don't have to come to tell me this. The Cooper Group is yours now. It's your business to decide who will be in the position, I have no right to intervene."
Manuel felt a little embarrassed and said, "Then I won't disturb you."
Hannah hung up directly. From the moment Oscar chose to divorce her, she knew very well that there would be no privileges for her. Therefore, she would learn to calmly accept all the critical strikes.
Manuel put down his phone and couldn't help but sigh. When he received the news, the first one he worried about was Hannah. Of course, Oscar cared about Hannah's feelings, and that was why he asked Manuel to call Hannah first. But it turned out to be meaningless to make the call. Hannah would not object to the decision, nor would she approve of it.
Manuel dialled his cousin's number.
"Manuel."
"Is it convenient to talk?"
He was clear that Oscar was not always available to talk about his current status.
"Yeah."
"I just told Hannah about Sarah's thing in the group, but she didn't say anything."
Oscar was a little silent. He should have known Hannah's reaction.
"Okay, I know," Oscar answered in an indifferent voice.
"Oscar," Manuel called him at the moment he hung up.
"Yeah?"
"I mainly got used to my current position in the past few days. What I did every day was to read and approve official documents. Also, I was forced to hold meetings and listen to the reports of the staff."
On hearing what she reported, Manuel seemed not in the mood. Other senior executives were sweating because of Susan's words. Before, Manuel was an employee while Susan was the boss, so Susan could do whatever she wanted to do. However, their identities had changed now.
Did Susan say it on purpose to enrage Manuel? Everyone had this question in mind.
Sure enough, Manuel got across, and he said coldly, "Susan Phillips, I asked you to work in the company, not to take a vacation! Do you think you are doing the job well?"
As soon as the words came out, the staff was completely silent.
Manuel seldom lost his temper. No matter when he was the general manager or the chairman, he didn't bring his emotions to work. In addition, he had a strong ability to work. So even if he was young or even he didn't have as rich experience as the older employees, he was still accepted by most of the top management and the employees.
Everyone dared not to breathe at this moment, while Susan got furious on hearing what Manuel said.
She had many troubles at work. She had to learn everything but just couldn't understand it. She was forced to work every day. She got up early in the morning and tried to improve herself through her efforts. It was so hard for her. But now she couldn't stand the fact that she was being scolded by Manuel in front of so many people.
Then she stood up from her seat and yelled at Manuel, "Was it me who wanted to come to work? Didn't you keep me here? Didn't I say I couldn't do anything? Why did you treat me in this way now?"
It became more awkward. The meeting room fell into silence.
Manuel looked at Susan coldly, feeling a little annoyed about what she said.
Susan dropped her notebook heavily, "I quit!"
"What's the big fucking deal! It's just a job. I don't need a job because I am rich!" Susan thought to herself.
