Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 816 Clara’s Ruse

Chapter 816 Clara's Ruse

Susan knocked at the door, but no one answered. She frowned, saw the time, and found that it was still during office hours. Gritting her teeth, she pushed open the office door and entered the spacious room where there was nobody. Seeing this, she realized that Manuel left early. But Manuel didn't leave early very often. However, his absence was good news for Susan since she could report to him the next day. During the day, she was busy preparing the report and didn't have time to deal with other tasks that she had to finish today. With that, Susan turned and intended to leave the office.

But at the same time, she seemed to hear something in the cubicle of the office, which made her stop. She told herself that she should leave at once because it was not supposed to pry. However, she still wen to the door of the cubicle unconsciously. Then she heard a woman say, "President, are you ready?" Her voice seemed a little urgent, which was familiar to Susan since she had heard that kind of voice when she looked at porn. Suddenly, she felt a little heartbroken, stood in the doorway, and couldn't move her feet.

"Oh... Do it gently... it aches..." The woman said with a broken voice. As learned from porn, Susan knew that it was a trick that women usually used to arouse men's possessiveness and make them more excited when having sex.

Holding her computer, Susan was trembling. She couldn't believe that Manuel, a reserved man, was so eager to have sex and did this right here in his office. Susan wanted to push open the door and see how excited Manuel and Clara were in the cubicle. Was it possible that she could completely forget Manuel and wouldn't be heartbroken anymore if she could see what they do in the cubicle? She might not feel distressful when she was hurt too much.

She held out her hand but drew it back at last. She was not brave enough to see naked Manuel making love with another woman. She could only imagine the scene, without doing anything. She preferred to ignore what she heard and left the office awkwardly. She walked so hurriedly and almost tripped over her own feet. When she closed the office door, the door of the cubicle was opened. Clara came out of the cubicle. As a secretary, she still wore a slim suit for work, with a cold smile on her face.

Manuel wasn't there. He had left the office after midday without telling her the reason. Clara wasn't feeling motivated to work after he left. Then she chose to tidy up Manuel's office since she was reluctant to do other work. When she heard the knock at the door, she knew that it must be Susan who was going to report to Manuel. Therefore, she decided to cheat on Susan by pretending to have sex with Manuel. By doing so, she hoped to hurt Susan and make her quit. It seemed that Clara succeeded. She believed that Susan would not love Manuel anymore. With this, she smirked, being determined to have a relationship with Manuel.

Manuel went to Hannah's place since he had to talk to her face to face. "The video was posted online and it will be available at least for two hours." He said.

"That's great." Hannah nodded. Everyone would see this video because two hours was enough for it to go viral online.

"Are we going to set up an interview for Sarah tomorrow?" Manuel confirmed the plan with Hannah.

"Yes. Sarah will be interviewed by the most authoritative magazine in Northfield."

"Well, I have already called the office of the magazine. They told me that the chief editor will interview Sarah in person. The content behind the scenes will be uploaded then." Manuel said. At the same time, he was amazed at the vindictiveness of Hannah who tried every possible way to ruin Sarah's reputation.

"I will ask Sarah again to see whether she would like to accept the interview or not."

"She will accept it." Hannah was quite sure about it. "She is keen to be admired by everyone and to show how successful she is. Therefore, she would be happy to accept the interview conducted by an authoritative magazine."

Manuel nodded, realizing that Hannah knew much about Sarah's inner thoughts.

"All right, I will invite some reporters to cover the event." Manuel said, "You just need to watch the news then."

"Thanks."

"To be honest...I should say thanks to you." Manuel said.

Hannah felt confused. Manuel pressed his lips, "You will know why in the future."

Hannah didn't ask the reason. She didn't care whether Manuel told her or not. She was satisfied to live her life.

"Well, I am going to prepare for it." Manuel got up and was about to leave. Hannah didn't ask him to stay.

"By the way, my cousin will be back in a week."

Hannah looked at him.

"I am just telling you his agenda. There is no hidden meaning. And I didn't tell him the things that happened today."

"Got it," Hannah answered indifferently.

Manuel didn't say anything and left the villa. When he was driving, his mother called him. "Mum."

"Do you work overtime today?" Justine asked, knowing that her son was always busy.

"Nope," Manuel said. It was quitting time, so he wasn't going to the company today. What's more, he had to deal with other things.

"Then why not have dinner with me? I haven't seen you for a long time." Justine said.

"Well..." Manuel considered for a while, "Okay."

Considering that having dinner wouldn't spend too much time, he said, "Where are you now? I am going to pick you up."

"I'm in the hospital. Come now."

"Is Edward feeling better?" Manuel asked.

"No. If he is better, I don't need to go to the hospital every day."

Manuel didn't say anything.

"Well, be careful when driving. Pick me up now."

"Okay." Manuel hung up.

After hanging up, Justine dialled another number. "Susan?"

Susan said nothing and wondered why Justine suddenly called her. But she thought that Justine's call was not a good thing for her.

"Could you have dinner with me tonight?" Justine said suddenly.

"I'm at work now."

"Then stop working now."

"How can you be so aggressive?" Susan was angry. She couldn't understand what was wrong with Manuel and Justine. Why both of them made her so angry?

"I have taken care of your dad for such a long time. Isn't it necessary for you to invite me for dinner?" Justine said stoutly.

Susan was furious but she couldn't reject her since Justine asked her to have dinner forcefully. "What do you want to have for dinner?"

"Let's go to the X restaurant on the 68th floor."

Susan was dissatisfied with the restaurant Justine named because the food there was quite expensive.

"Fine."

"We will meet at 7 PM. Don't be late."

"I know," Susan answered impatiently. After she hung up, she didn't want to work. To be honest, she almost collapsed in the afternoon and didn't do anything. Then she went to the bathroom to reapply her makeup since she wanted to look decent when she met Justine. But then she was startled when she looked in the mirror. Her eyes were red and puffy.
