Chapter 371 Too Much for Me to Bear

What Suny said was nothing for Anthony, who believed that she was merely an assistant and that she could not have had much association with Phantom's boss in the one and a half years after the breakup of her marriage with Austin, during which she remained a housewife.

But Rosa was different. Everyone knew she was the principal secretary of Phantom's boss. Since the emergence of Phantom, she had always been her assistant. While he could turn a deaf ear to what Suny had said, he must value Rosa's words.

Rosa's intention to expel him made Anthony stiffen, for he knew if he didn't achieve anything today, god knew when he could meet their boss again, which was something he could not afford to do. Anthony looked at Rosa with a flattering smile, "Secretary Lee, it's my fault. But the emergency urged me to be here today. Could you please send a message to your boss?"

But Rosa stood still with her emotionless face, "Mr. Johnson, it's not me that you should apologize to. It's Miss Holland. Our boss has made it clear that Miss Holland has an equally important position as her and has the right to decide up to ninety-nine percent of the businesses in this company before informing her. As for what you mentioned earlier about pretending to be the boss. That could be regarded as an insult to Miss Holland. As the secretary of our boss and a colleague of Miss Holland, I truly suggest you make an apology to her."

It must be admitted that Rosa, as someone who had worked with Suny for years, knew by heart that she needed to earn respect for her.

Anthony despised Austin, and Suny even more. For him, though Suny was the granddaughter of Charlie Murphy, there was still Robert Murphy. Even though she belonged to the Murphys, she had not surnamed Murphy.

And now he, a man more than sixty years old, was going to apologize to her?

Hilarious. If people knew it happened, how could he live down?

He did not want to apologize. Not at all. So he changed the subject, "Secretary Lee, if your boss's not available today, could you tell me when she's free? I really have an important project to discuss with her and I believe she would be interested."

Rosa peeped at Suny without a trace, then she said coldly, "Mr. Johnson, Miss Holland was the only person in Phantom who was able to contact our boss. I believe you should ask Miss Holland as to when she's free to discuss with you about the project."

Suny was beside her when she was rambling about in a serious tone. The corner of her mouth could not help curling up.

Anthony happened to catch that smile and thought she was laughing at him. Suddenly, his face stiffened.

If it was in the past, he would have turned angry.

But now, he was quite clear that he could not offend Suny no matter how much he disliked her when faced with the dilemma that he could neither doge apologizing nor apologize willingly.

At that time, Raul, who seldom came to Phantom, was back and was astounded at the sight of Anthony.

But smart as he, he was clear Suny's identity had always been kept as a secret.

Although he merely had a glimpse, it was quite obvious to him that the conversation did not go well.

Actually, it was Anthony that was not well. After all, for all those years that Raul had known Suny, few people could agitate her to a point that she lost her normal countenance.

When he caught sight of Raul, Anthony's stiffened face was replaced by much glee.

It seemed impossible for him to meet Suny today, but at least he met Raul, which meant something to him.

Instantly, Anthony ignored Rosa and Suny. Well, if they were not going to treat him nicely, why should he be wasting time?

Anthony thought so and averted his attention to Raul, "Long time no see. Mr. Webster."

"Mr. Johnson. Long time no see."

Anthony used to be treated with reverence, but now everyone knew that he had retired. And people were also aware of Suny's relationship with Austin. Besides, now she was the granddaughter of Charlie Murphy. For smart people like Raul, it was impossible that he didn't know who could and who could not be offended.

For Raul, Anthony was overestimating his ability if he was going to fight Austin.

But he was a man that preferred to have plan B, a man who would do things to a certain point, not too extreme. As what Anthony would turn out to be was still hard to tell, he added after the first greeting, "Wha brings Mr. Johnson here?"

Anthony was discontent at first, but seeing that Raul's attitude was much more sincere than Rosa's and Suny's, his face softened as he felt his dignity back, "I have a project to cooperate with your company." How could Raul, a people person, not know what project he was referring to. He smiled, "It depends on Miss Holland. Our boss has trusted Miss Holland with the majority of the businesses."

As soon as he finished his sentence, paleness washed over Anthony.

If what Rosa had said was a slap in his face, then what Raul had said was a knife stabbed in his heart. Raul indicated clearly that it was no use looking for him. Suny was the one that could make decisions.

Raul smiled at Suny, "Since Mr. Johnson has business to talk about, I'll leave you alone. See you soon." He waved them goodbye.

Anthony had not given up, crying from behind, "Mr. Webster, we can have a talk about... Mr. Webster?" Raul left without turning back, pretending to be deaf.

Having seen enough drama, Suny was tired of wasting time with Anthony.

She stared at him with a faint smile, "Mr. Johnson, I have some business to do. If you have nothing important to talk about, you may leave now."

He glared at suny, his face turning from black to white. After a long while, he gritted his teeth, "Miss Holland, it was my fault. Please forgive me. I am old now, slow in response, and clumsy in choosing a word." Suny lifted her brows, "What Mr. Johnson has said was too much for me to bear."

She glanced at Rosa, "Rosa, please show Mr. Johnson the way out. I have some reports to do."

Aware of Suny's intention to expel Anthony, Rosa went straight to him, "Mr. Johnson, please follow me."

Anthony was almost trembling with wrath while glaring at Suny even more sullenly.

But none of that seemed to affect Suny. She sat in front of the office table and buried her head into documents without looking up again.

Rosa repeated, "Mr. Johnson, please follow me."

Anthony left knowing that it was impossible for him to seek help from Phantom.

When he walked out, his secretary reminded him, "Mr. Johnson, is that Mr. Webster?"

He frowned, looking in the direction his secretary was pointing at. Indeed, Raul Webster was walking out of Phantom.

A touch of glee climbed up his face, and he hastened to approach him, "Mr. Webster, I have something to talk with you."

Raul did not expect to meet Anthony again. He silently cursed him in his heart while appearing cordially, "That's out of my ability, Mr. Johnson. I'm just some unknown shareholder and had no right to make decisions. Mr. Johnson had better turn to Miss. Suny for real business."

Anthony whispered to him, "Don't you want to be the real decision maker?"

"I am used to being a normal person. Suny does a great job running Phantom. I don't have such aspirations. Mr. Johnson, you are looking for the wrong man. I must leave now."

Raul was not an idiot. Despite the fact that Suny was doing a good job, merely considering the relationship between her and the Murphys would stop him from usurping.

Besides, even if he wanted to, his ability would not allow him to do so.

He felt he was quite self-aware, which was totally different from Anthony, who failed to see the right path even at this age.

Raul walked further and hummed with contempt.
