Tammy couldn't figure out what Clara wanted. She was so furious with her nose and eyes turning red. Susan didn't want to explain but said, " Go drink, it's on me."
At least to Susan, Manuel and Clara don't make their relationship public. She did not know why, but she didn't have a reason to publicize their relationship as an outsider. Now she felt that nothing else mattered now and she just let it all out.
Looking at her, Tammy couldn't believe that Susan was in the mood for that.
"Pressures need to be released, otherwise, I will do something extreme and regretful! Come on, let me take you to the best restaurant in Kensbury City."
Then they took a taxi.
Before the dishes were served, they began to drink. They had calmed down quite a bit by now, and they were drinking more and more and both getting a bit drunk.
Tammy suddenly asked, "Miss Phillips, don't you think that Clara likes Mr Johnson?"
Susan did not answer directly and she said indifferently, "Manuel is hot and capable. Every woman likes him."
Tammy said straight to the point, "But you, doesn't it?"
Susan just continued drinking, "I'm blind."
Tammy suddenly said with a serious look, "Miss Phillips, why don't you go sleep with Mr Johnson".
Susan was so astonished that she spit out the wine, which was right spit on Tammy's face.
Tammy said almost in tears, "Miss Phillips, you can blame me for costing you your job, but why did you spit on me?"
"I don't mean to." Susan hurriedly grabbed tissues to help her clean, "But what you said just now astonished me."
"I took it seriously. Mr Johnson must like you, in my view."
"Why do you think so?"
"I saw with my eyes, and I felt with my heart."
"Don't you see how bad he was to me?"
"Don't you realize that he was just tryna help you? To train and help you work better. Don't you think he's only "bad" to you?"
"So should I be grateful to him?"
"I'm not joking. I think he treats you well, and his eyes are still on you!" Tammy said seriously, "You'd better say sorry to Mr Johnson or sell your charms. I am sure that he will not fire you."
Then she stood up to leave. When she was in the elevator, she pressed down a number with some hesitation. The doors of the lift opened, and Susan walked to Manuel's office.
If he had not left yet, she would tell him again in person; and if he had left, that was it. Although she was clear about her decision, she didn't knock on the door until a long while had passed.
"Come in."
It was surprising that Manuel was still here since it was almost 9 PM. Susan cowered on hearing his voice, but she still pulled the door open.
Manuel sat in the chair with no work at hand and seemed to be enjoying the view while sitting there. The sightseeing in Kesbury City at night was beautiful. There was a large picture window in Manuel's office, so it was nice to enjoy the view with a cup of coffee.
Susan walked to Manuel slowly. He glanced at the shopping bag she was carrying, which was filled with something. Catching the look in his eyes, Susan began, "This is all I can take right now. I'll get someone to move the rest tomorrow."
Manuel didn't say a word, and he kept a cold and sullen face.
"I will not work tomorrow, and it's not necessary to pay this month's salary to me. But there is one thing I want you to help with."
Manuel just kept looking at her with cold eyes, without saying anything.
Susan said with courage, "I hope you can give Tammy some extra unemployment compensation."
