Hannah changed the subject, "Here is your pajamas. Be quick. I gotta take a shower after you."
"Why don't you take a shower in your own room?" Susan raised her brows.
"I am gonna sleep with you tonight."
"Aren't you afraid it's gonna ruin your relationship with Oscar?"
"Of course not." Hannah smiled to reply.
Soon, both of them finished shower.
It had been a long time since they shared the same bed last time.
Actually, the friendship between them had been stable. Before Hannah got married, they always shared the same bed. However, ever since she got married, she felt like she did spend much less time with Susan than before.
Back into her previous life, she used to be too focused on her marriage with Charles. Whenever she thought about it, she couldn't help gritting her teeth out of anger.
"Hannah." Susan buried her head into Hannah's arms.
For Hannah, she had been accustomed to her intimate move since they were kids.
Susan always said that she felt like staying with her mom whenever Hannah was by her side.
"Hey, do you think Manuel is actually not that bad?" asked Susan. She also found it hard to believe that there could be such a sudden change happening to Manuel.
"Perhaps it's because of sadness that he goes crazy at this moment. A few days later, he will probably drop his request to marry me." Susan kept on wondering.
Hannah didn't respond. But she was sure that Susan was destined to marry Manuel.
"Time to sleep. Let's talk about it when we wake up tomorrow."
"I just can't sleep. I can't sleep whenever I think about Manuel." Susan felt distraught.
"Alright. But I gotta sleep."
"Hey!"
"I suggest you do as Manuel required. How about that?"
"Alright, you'd better go to sleep." Susan turned her back on her.
Hannah replied with a smile while staring at her back. Susan was outlined against the moonlight from the outside. Back into her previous life, Hannah could do nothing but to watch Susan dying miserably. This time, she swore to God it would never happen again.
When the alarm started ringing in the next morning, Hannah hurried to turn it off. She carefully got off the bed. Meanwhile, Susan was still in sound sleep. Actually, it took Susan couple of hours to fall asleep last night. The same to Hannah. When both of them finally fell asleep, it was about at dawn.
Hannah sneaked out of the bedroom in case Susan would be woken up. After what happened last night, Susan indeed needed a sound sleep. She walked into Oscar's room, who was still sleeping.
Hannah sneaked into the bathroom to wash up. Then she dressed herself up formally and put on light makeup.
When she was about to leave, a sudden voice sounded, "I thought you were gonna give me a goodbye kiss."
Hannah was startled.
When did he wake up?
He should be in sound sleep.
She turned to look at Oscar.
"Yes." Rose nodded, "That's the best daily performance among all those competitors in Northfield, even much better than the e-commerce platform developed by Sawyer Group. Our turnover has even hit the headlines today."
Hannah nodded and put away the files, "Tell the sales department to get ready for a meeting half an hour later. We will have the following plan settled."
"Yes, Ms Hannah." Rose left respectfully.
Hannah started to type her plan on her laptop. A while later, her phone rang. It was a call from the chairman, Miguel.
"Come to the conference room."
Hannah couldn't help frowning.
"Don't worry. It's a good news for you." Miguel seemed to be in a good mood.
"Okay."
Actually, she had expected that it would be some kind of praise waiting for her. After all, the job performance really mattered in a company. When she was about to leave the office, she walked to Mary's office.
"Mary."
Startled, Mary didn't expect her to come. She was actually fiddling with her phone right now. So she looked a bit guilty.
"Let's go to the conference room." Hannah didn't notice what she was thinking.
Mary was surprised. But soon she recollected herself, "Okay."
Then she followed Hannah to leave. She didn't ask Hannah for the reason why she needed to go with her. Of course, Hannah wouldn't tell her what she was planning.
After all, Roger Cooper must be upset about Mary's job performance. What was worse, Mary was still working for Hannah. He would probably be pissed off.
