Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 556 A Quarrel

Chapter 556 A quarrel

The car arrived at Futuring.

Henry and Susan went over to the seat they'd booked in the restaurant. Susan focused on ordering food while Henry sat across the table and suddenly got surprised. "Henry, would you like beef steak or..."

"Susan..." Henry interrupted and winked at her.

Susan followed Henry's eyesight and looked back, only to replace Manuel and Martina sitting at a table near them.

At the time, Manuel was pulling out the chair for Martina and inviting her to take a seat. Martina, who was elegantly dressed, couldn't hide the excitement on her face. Susan turned around to keep on checking the menu.

Henry took his eyes off them and said slowly, "What a coincidence!"

"Kensbury is a small city."

"Indeed." Henry paused and added, "Are they together?"

"Have no idea," Susan said sarcastically.

She asked Manuel about it last time but he told her they were just friends.

But obviously, it wasn't true. She could tell how deeply Martina loved Manuel only by giving a glance at her.

But it didn't bother her. Susan had figured it out. She had nothing to do with Manuel and it made no difference to her no matter whom Manuel was going to be with or if he had lied to her.

"I want beef broth. Thanks." Henry saw Susan was indifferent to Manuel and changed the topic.

Then Susan chatted and laughed with him.

On the other table, Martina had seen Susan and Henry as soon as she went into the restaurant, and she kept glimpsing at them from time to time.

Manuel had also noticed them too.

At times, those whom you didn't want to see, would just show up to your face unexpectedly.

"When will they get married?" Martina suddenly asked.

Manuel was ordering food and saying without raising his head, "It's their business."

"Don't you care?" Martina asked deliberately.

"Nope." Manuel said bluntly.

"It isn't a show that you took me out for dinner, right?" Martina said.

Manuel swallowed slightly. It was only a coincidence. But he was fine with the misunderstanding if he must have a good reason to be there.

"You're not over Susan yet?" Martina said emotionally.

"I just think I can't let them laugh at me."

"So, you want a date to tell Susan that she's not the only one?" Martina asked.

Manuel didn't say a word in reply.

"I'll do it." Martina got emotional and said, "I'll still do it even if you take advantage of me."

Manuel raised his head to look at her, who looked so sincere and eager.

"Let's order first." He said.

"Manuel, I'll be with you as long as you want to, for whatever reasons," Martina said firmly.

Manuel chose to be silent. Martina knew she couldn't force him. But she believed Manuel would finally replace it out and fall in love with her someday. She would wait for him, even for a lifetime.

They were very quiet, which was utterly different from the lively interaction between Susan and Henry.

They didn't break the ice until Susan stood up to leave for the lady's room. All at once, Martina reached out her arm to take Manuel's hand.

Manuel moved his fingers a little. He was going to take his hand away but Martina simply grabbed it more tightly.

"Oh dear Manuel, I wanna taste the caviar on your plate." Said Martina.

Hearing it, Susan blinked her eyes lightly and thought it was way too much.

Martina was such a clinger and her voice was extremely coquettish, which had given her goosebumps. She guessed Martina wasn't Manuel's type. Susan turned around to see it and got stunned.

She saw Manuel feeding Martina the caviar with his spoon.

Gross! Susan was disgusted with it, which made her sick. Then she walked faster to leave.

Martina achieved her purpose and put on a bright smile, "Excuse me. I have to powder my nose."

Her plan couldn't be more obvious, but Manuel didn't stop her. He sat at the dining table and saw Henry coming up to him.

"You planned it?" Henry asked coldly.

But Manuel simply glanced at him and said nothing.

"You want to get Susan jealous?" Henry smiled ironically.

"Are you doubting yourself?" Manuel asked.

Henry looked bad in a second.

"That's why you think Susan will be jealous?"

"I'm just warning you. Don't play tricks. Susan won't love you."

"Whatever." Manuel stood up from his seat.

Manuel had a handsome and young face. Telling from his face, no one could say he was over six feet. Instead, they would think he was a not-so-tall handsome young boy. But he was taller than most men around when he rose to his feet. Of course, he was taller than Henry.

"I wouldn't have divorced Susan if I still loved her. Just a heads-up. You can't marry Susan unless you give up the shares of Phillips Group. Do you think Susan will still love you as time goes by?" "You!" Henry got furious in a flash.

"Patience will finally run out no matter how much you love someone," Manuel said and left for the restroom directly.

Henry glared at his back and trembled all over with anger. Manuel wanted to take over Phillips Group. But by no mean would Henry let him have it.

In the lady's room, Susan went out and found Martina waiting for her in front of the big mirror of the sink.

"What do you want?" Susan said harshly.

"Nothing much. I just wanna tell you that I'm with Manuel."

"It's none of my business," Susan said with a gloomy face.

"Yeah." Martina looked complacent and said, "I just wanna tell you."

"What's the big deal of it?" Susan said sarcastically, "He's the man I've dumped."

"You!"

"I guess only you think Manuel is a dreamboat." Susan despised it.

"It makes sense." Martina smiled lightly, "A stupid woman like you, who wants the worst kind of guys, just can't get how happy I'm."

Susan stared at Martina furiously. She got it that Martina was having a dig at Henry.

"Are you out of your mind? What did you see in that Henry?" Martina went on teasing her, "But, I should thank you for that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the chance to be with Manuel."

"Watch your damn mouth!" Susan was pissed off, "Manuel is good at nothing except that he's good-looking. He's a nerd and a cold fish. He can be silent for a whole day. You must have been cursed to be with him!"
