CHAPTER 833 THE MISSING FILE

Chapter 833 The Missing File

Susan waited for a while, and two luxury commercial vehicles arrived at the gate of WST. When the

vehicles stopped, Susan walked over in no time.

Clara first got off the car. Looking at Susan, she hurriedly called her, "Miss Phillips."

Susan nodded.

Then, Manuel got off the vehicle, too. After getting off the vehicle, Clara came forward to help Manuel

tie up his black tie and said sweetly, "It's a bit crooked."

Manuel took a glance at Clara and said, "Thank you."

Clara wore a bashful expression on her face. Susan was a bit speechless to see them flirting during

working hours. But she was now a subordinate and dared not have any dissatisfaction with Manuel. All

she could show was a flattering smile.

After they finished, Susan volunteered to speak, "Mr Johnson."

Manuel squinted at Susan. With a dark expression, he said, "Susan, as a leader, you need to be

punctual."

Susan had prepared for that, so when Manuel was scolding her, she did not feel anything strange. She

just nodded and replied, "I'll be punctual next time."

She didn't explain more. Manuel glanced at her again, and spoke, "Get in there."

He then strode ahead, followed by Clara, hurriedly. Susan stopped, and Tammy immediately came over

to her, "Miss Phillips, luckily you are here, I was on edge all the way and afraid you haven't arrived.

Thank God you are here, I'm so relieved now."

"Where's my laptop?" Susan cared nothing but this.

"In Clara's hand, the laptop she's holding now is yours," Tammy answered.

"Why did she have my laptop?" No wonder the laptop she had just seen looked a bit familiar.

"She said Mr Johnson need to see more about the scheme, so I gave it to her," Tammy explained.

Therefore, Susan didn't think too much of it. Based on her understanding of Manuel, she always

thought that he was not at ease with her. Although when the scheme was finalized and confirmed by

him yesterday, it was inevitable that he would check it again early this morning.

"Hurry up, Miss Phillips." Tammy urged.

Susan also felt that even Manuel was waiting for them, so she hastened to catch up.

They were warmly entertained by the partner company's hospitality and sat in the meeting room.

Manuel was talking with the partner company's leader, Mr Brown.

Manuel had just turned 25 a few days ago while the leader of the partner company looked at least 50

years old. Although they were from different generations, they were not far apart in the conversation.

Manuel was not old, but his calm and steady style let him be an extremely outstanding existence on Property © .

such a business occasion.

The staff of the partner company helped them connect the computer projection. Everything was ready.

Susan opened her laptop and looked for her file. But when she opened the stored files, she was

stunned completely. She looked for the PPT again and again, but still couldn't find it.

"Tammy," Susan quietly called the person standing next to her.

Tammy hurriedly stepped forward, "What's wrong, Miss Phillips?"

"Where is my file?" Susan asked.

"Isn't it in there? I just confirmed that it's in there." Tammy quickly looked at the laptop about the

storage place.

"No, there's nothing." Susan was a little flustered, while she was trying to hide her feelings.

Tammy was also scared. Was she hallucinating? She had confirmed it again and again.

Tammy hurriedly took over the Bluetooth mouse in Susan's hand, looking for it in the laptop. But the

PPT was gone. She couldn't find it by searching for the file's name.

Susan began to be nervous, and so did Tammy, who was about to cry.

"Why?! It's not possible!" Susan thought.

Manuel was still talking to Mr Brown, and they were enjoying their conversation, during which Manuel

quietly looked at Susan's side. Seeing her panic, he knew that something must happen. But he showed

neither surprise nor strange and was still talking to the leader calmly.

Clara, who was standing behind Manuel, was smiling secretly. Seeing the anxious expressions of

Susan and Tammy, she knew exactly what happened. She was waiting to see how Susan was going to

report her work without her PPT. She could even imagine the consequence followed by this and what

humiliating consequences would happen to Susan.

"Is it still not ready yet?" the partner leader asked his subordinate.

It indeed took a little long time.

His subordinate hurriedly said respectfully, "It's ready, Mr Brown. We are just waiting for Miss Phillips to

put her file on."

"Okay." The leader heard that it was Susan's problem, so he didn't ask more about it. But such an

urging was a sign that he couldn't wait. Luckily, the moment someone came into the meeting room to

find Mr Brown for reporting her work, Mr Brown was about to refuse, but Manuel took the opportunity to

say, "Mr Brown, I need to use the restroom."

Mr Brown nodded. He was a bit pleased with Manuel's EQ. At such a young age, he spoke and

behaved comfortably.

After leaving, Manuel didn't go straight to the restroom, but to Susan, with a dark face, "What's wrong?"

Susan bit her lips, looked up at Manuel, and said, "The PPT we made last night was missing."

Manuel's face suddenly changed. Susan knew she would be scolded, and it was her fault. She felt that

even if Manuel shot her with a gun now, she also deserved it.

"Miss Phillips called me to check the file again and again, and I checked it and then gave it to Clara, I

don't know why…" Tammy's eyes turned red.

Tammy took responsibility for this failure. But she couldn't figure out why it suddenly disappeared.

Clara now followed Manuel. After hearing Tammy's words, she hurriedly said, "I can prove it. When I

went to Miss Phillips' office, Tammy repeatedly confirmed to me that the file was still in her laptop."

She seemed to help Tammy, but in fact, to get herself out of this. She achieved her purpose.

"I'll take the previous draft scheme to report first," Susan said, constrainedly.

The scheme was changed over ten times. Every draft was stored separately in case a previous edition

was needed. So, she still had the latest draft except for the final one. There were just some changes in

the contents, which would indeed have some impact.

Manuel looked at Susan coldly and showed a darker face when hearing her words.

He lowered his voice, but that could not cover his great anger, "Susan, are you taking the business

negotiation as a joke? Do you know how rigorous a business negotiation has to be?"

She knew, but she had no choice now. She could not manage to report it orally, and it would show no

sincerity to them. At this point, it was the only plan she could think of.
