Chapter 338: Celebrate My Birthday With Me


    "Anything else?" Victor frowned with piercing eyes.


    Susan could only look back at his indifferent face. She was longing to ask him something, but the


    words stuck in her throat. She felt a little dispirited.


    After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and forced a smile. "I talked to Dr. Turner earlier. He said


    that it would take at least half a month before you could get discharged from the hospital. I know there


    are many rumors going around online at the moment. Knowing you, you will do something about it, but"


    "Susan." It was something he didn''t like to hear, so Victor cut her off abruptly in a voice so cold.


    "That''s none of your business."


    His disregard for what she was trying to say made Susan bite her lower lip, yet she still responded so


    calmly, "I just care about—"


    "No need." There was not a trace of emotion on Victor''s face, but he did sound steely.


    With tears welling in her eyes, Susan lowered her head and didn''t say a word for a while. When she


    finally collected herself, she raised her head again and feigned a smile. As she tried to keep her voice


    from quavering, she uttered, "You see, I''m quite officious."


    Susan stared straight to Victor, trying to see how he would react. However, Victor didn''t even look at


    her.


    Susan tightened her grip on the hem of her dress. Then, hidden under her dress, she tightly pinched


    her palm with her nails that were covered with exquisite manicure. This way, she could let out and hide


    her embarrassment at the same time. Forcing a smile, she said, "Anyway, I won''t stay for long. I have


    other things to do today. But before I go, I just want to ask you. Do you remember what you said


    before? If our cooperation is cancelled, in addition to the film contract and the cooperative contract


    between the Szar Group and the Sullivan Group, you will also give me three houses in Delmor


    Community."


    "Yes. Don''t worry. I will ask Ivan to make the arrangements so that the transfer procedure will be done


    as soon as possible." As Susan reminded Victor of their agreement, his expression became even


    colder.


    But then Susan pursed her lips, looked up at Victor, and suddenly said, "No. I actually don''t want those


    houses."


    Victor was already typing a message that he would send to Ivan when Susan suddenly made such an


    unexpected remark. He then stopped typing, raised his head, and squinted his eyes at Susan.


    Obviously, he wasn''t amused.


    The moment their eyes met, Susan felt a chill down her spine. It was as if Victor could look through the


    depths of her being.


    She actually felt numb, and she had a hard time moving.


    Just a few days ago, Victor was sent to the operating room and was in a critical condition. But even


    though he wasn''t fully healed yet, his aura, and the intensity of his stare didn''t change at all. Susan felt


    like she couldn''t breathe properly while Victor''s fierce gaze was focused on her. Susan admired Victor,


    but she was also afraid of him. Moreover, she was scared that he would see through her real thoughts.


    "So, you don''t like the houses in Delmor Community? I still have a few sets of houses, and the Sullivan


    Group also has several real estate projects under construction. If you prefer a different location, then


    you can tell Ivan your choices. He will help you obtain whatever property you like," Victor said tly, his


    eyes void of emotion.


    "No. You misunderstand me." At this point, Susan summoned all her courage, looked at Victor, and


    said, "Although my family is not the richest in Apliaria, my parents will have no problem buying a house


    for me. In short, I don''t really need your properties."


    Victor''s eyes darkened. He didn''t want to dilly-dally so he asked straightforwardly, "Then, what exactly


    do you want?"


    "I..." Susan paused and swallowed before continuing, "It will be my birthday in half a month. Forget the


    houses. Victor, I just... I just want to celebrate my birthday with you. Will that be okay?"


    After saying that, Susan stared at Victor''s eyes nervously. She didn''t want to miss any subtle change in


    his expression.


    "This is thest time I''ll ask anything from you. Think of it as your parting gift as we end our cooperation


    thatsted for three years. Victor, I''m not asking for anything else. This is my only request." Afraid that


    Victor would refuse without hesitation, Susan made sure that she said the right words.


    However, while Susan looked at Victor''s dark eyes, she didn''t have any clue at what he was thinking. In


    fact, no one might be able to read his mind.


    Nheless, Susan was determined to get what she wanted. She wouldn''t leave Victor''s side until she


    got the reply that she was yearning for.


    "Victor!"


    Knock! Knock! Knock!

    They were interrupted by a series of knock on the door, and the door was pushed open from the


    outside. Then, a small hand holding the doorknob appeared, followed by a familiar small face.
