CHAPTER 621 SEEK FOR SYMPATHY
Chapter 621 Seek for Sympathy
Susan went away angrily. Every time she failed to please Manuel, she would swear she would never
have a presumptuous desire for Manuel.
Susan got into her car and went home. She was so pissed about it and felt a tightness in her chest.
She was afraid she would die of anger one day because of this guy. She didn't know why she always
got irritated by Manuel.
At this moment, she just wanted to yell out.
Suddenly, Henry called her. Susan tried to soothe her anger away before answering the phone.
"Hi, Henry."
"Are you home?"
"On the way. Did you finish your dinner?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
It seemed that they had nothing to say suddenly, appearing in an awkward atmosphere.
"I'm drunk, honey." Said Henry.
Susan stopped, watching the night and feeling puzzled. She was wondering if she should take her
boyfriend home. But she felt embarrassed by saying such words.
"I drank much with the client. I want to do something to resolve the crisis we are facing now. I want to
make due contributions to our company." Henry continued as if he didn't feel Susan's emotions.
Susan got what he expressed now. She knew Henry felt depressed about the work. Her father only
thought highly of Manuel, but in the past, only Henry was regarded highly by her father before Manuel
joined the company.
"Henry, don't worry. I think, my father just wanted to retrieve Justine, so he put Manuel in key positions.
I believe he will give your due because you have the capability." Susan comforted him.
Henry laughed, self-mockingly.
Hearing Henry's sound, Susan felt a little distressed.
"I've worked for Phillips Bank since I graduated from the university. I've approached everything dutifully.
I have nothing to say if I'm not qualified and Manuel replaces me in the company. But if Henry replaces Property © .
me for other reasons, I would feel it's regrettable for me." Henry said miserably.
"Henry..."
"I'm sorry, honey. I made an indiscreet remark." Henry apologized suddenly. He was not coherent on
the telephone since he was drunk.
"I'm not embarrassing you, and I don't want to force you to do something for me. I felt depressed and
wanted to talk with you. No pressure. I'm sorry to bother you... It's getting late. Hurry home and get
yourself to bed. Good night!"
"Henry,"
As he hung up the phone, his countenance changed. He did it on purpose because he wanted Susan
to feel guilty, and persuade his father into including him in Manuel's special group. He didn't know what
was Manuel doing now, which made him nervous.
It was he who had revealed many details of Phillips Bank to Sway Bank. Besides, he had offered them
many suggestions to grab the customers of Phillips Bank. He was now in an unfavourable situation, for
he didn't know what Manuel was doing now. Henry did all these in an attempt to oust Manuel from the
company with the help of Sway Bank.
Susan thought a lot in her car. She held that she owed a lot to Henry indeed. Then she called her father
in no time.
"Dad?"
"It's so late. What's up?" Edward's voice was a little dazed. Susan thought he was sleeping just now.
"Manuel is now working himself to the bone while you are sleeping so early. I thought at least you
should have concerned yourself with the company and your staff. How can you feel at ease and
justified?" Susan said in a huff.
"What? What's the matter with you?"
A bad temper had been with Susan for many years.
"I'm annoyed with you, as everyone makes active efforts for you while you think it's a matter of course."
"I pay them." Edward felt depressed about Susan's censure.
"Do you think your salary is worth their efforts?"
"That's because Manuel possesses a high sense of responsibility. He does his job dutifully. Do you care
for him?" Thinking of this, Edward felt better.
"Don't daydream. I just despise you for your indifference."
"What do you want?" Edward wore a stern expression.
Susan began to remember to talk about Henry with her father.
She breathed deeply and said, "I want you to let Henry in Manuel's special group."
"What?" Edward was irritated.
He thought he had a flippant daughter since he almost lost track of their conversation. Now Susan was
talking about Henry.
"Henry's performance is visible to all of the company, but now you neglect him while putting Manuel in
the key position. Do you consider Henry's feelings? It's blatantly unfair. Don't you care about what
others think?"
"What do you speak for?" Edward didn't understand what Susan meant to do.
"Anyway, you must let Henry work in the special group," Susan said in a firm voice.
"That's not like kids' playing house. I've promised Manuel in the presence of all the executives that he
has the full power to act in his special group. What would Manuel think if I interfered? Am I a man
falling on my promise, or am I domineering? If you want Henry to work in the special group, you should
turn to Manuel, he is in charge of the special group. I'm not in a position to decide on this matter. You
must know, diverging from the established procedure is a taboo in the workplace."
Susan stopped.
She might not understand her father's words before. She used to think that her father could decide
everything as the president of the company. But now, she knew it was not simple in the workplace as
she had thought. The president was also like a king who couldn't decide everything in his kingdom. He
still had to ask for opinions from his ministers before making a decision.
