Chapter 368 A dig at Charles
Hannah felt bad when she received Charles’ phone call. She was clearly aware of what he was going
to say. Undoubtedly, he must want to take a dig at her with his current “self-satisfaction” after being
oppressed by her.
She didn’t pick up the phone, and she said to Rose, “Tell the board I’m not feeling well so I can’t attend
the meeting.”
“But...” Rose was put in a quandary. She had been informed to ask Hannah to attend the meeting by
the board. Obviously, they intended to hold her ountable for the failure. In this case, Hannah would
be criticized. But if she didn’t show up, the situation would only get worse because of the attitude
problem.
Rose was surprised for she always thought Hannah was the person who would never shirk her
responsibilities.
“I’ll call my fatherter. You may go out and start your work.” Said Hannah.
Rose nodded her head. Before she left, she said. “Ms Hannah, take it easy. Failure does not mean
anything, let alone their sess is suspicious. How did they achieve inpleting such a perfect
scheme as ayman! And the quota is suspicious as well. Why they quoted so urately 9.9 billion as
we quoted 10 billion? It was just 100 million lower than us!”
Rose didn’t think it was a coincidence. Hannah gave a slight smile, but she didn’t exin to her.
“Forget about it. I’ll deal with it myself. You may go now.”
Rose said nothing more. She believed a strong woman did not need too muchfort from others, or
she would doubt herpetence.
After Rose left, Hannah called her father immediately.
“Hi, dad.”
Miguel said in a low voice, “Where are you now? We are all waiting for you.”
“I won’t attend the meeting.” Said Hannah.
Miguel frowned. He didn’t think his daughter was wayward, nor would she be defeated by the failure.
Although the board mightin about this, what he was to do was to back his daughter up.
“Don’t overthink it, dad. I am not defeated by the failure of bidding, instead, I’m tired now and need a
rest. I don’t want to cheat the directors so I’d better not show up.”
Miguel understood her words except for thest ones.

What did she mean she didn’t want to cheat the directors?
What she was going to do?
“Dad, can I have a week off?” Hannah asked suddenly.
Miguel was shocked again for he knew clearly how workaholic Hannah was. Hannah had even been
working on weekends these days. She barely got herself a rest. So Miguel was pretty surprised to
know she wanted to have the day off.
“Hannah, you can have the day off whenever you want. But at the moment I’m afraid you will be
gossiped about.” Miguel said immediately.
She must be described as letting herself go to seed because of her failure.
“I don’t mind it. Oue counts most than process.” Hannah smiled.
“I’m worried about you.” Miguel had the phone call with Hannah directly despite his being in the
meeting room. His daughter was the most important to him, and nothing couldpare with her. He
didn’t care whether he lost a project worth ten billion or not!
“Don’t worry, dad. I’m fine. I just want a couple of days off. I’ll be back to work next Monday.”
Miguel hesitated for a while and finally agreed, “OK, have a good rest. But you need toe back
home for rest, your mom will be by your side.”
Hannah didn’t know how to respond to her father though he thought she was taking things too hard.
But she couldn’t tell him the truth until the time to put the Sawyers on trial came. The reason why she
wanted some days off was to avoid the notice of others. It was her n to pretend she was frustrated.
She would have thestugh! As to the Sawyer family, they would be caught on the hop!
“I’ll stay with Oscar.” Hannah answered.
Miguel was stunned for a moment.
“I want to see whether he’s doing well recently. We have been apart for over a month, I miss him.”
Miguel gave a heartyugh.
“You have your baby now! Just go ahead. Call me when you arrived. Let me know you are safe and
sound.”
“OK.”
Hannah hung up and stretched herself. It was true that she missed Oscar. She missed him badly
though they would text each other every day. So this time, she decided toe to see him. She was
curious whether Oscar would be surprised by her arrival!
At the thought of it, she beamed a warm smile. However, her mood was killed when she received
another phone call.
It was from Charles.
Hannah put it through with hesitation, and Charles seemed to be a bit surprised at this.
Butter, he sneered. “The generousdy finally picked up my phone!”
“I don’t want to waste my time on a nobody.”
“Hannah, I think you are really bad at getting favored by men, aren’t you?” His voice was cold.
“I don’t mind whether I can get your favor or not. I can get Oscar’s favor anyway.”
“Oscar?” Charles seemed to be irritated, “How do you expect a man who is far away from here could
give you help? You were pulverized this time, and I think he might not even give you a call!”
Hannah was a bit annoyed. It was a wrong choice to pick up his phone.
“Well, are you keeping an eye on him?” Hannah raised a sharp question.
Charles was annoyed too because she had the right answer.
“It’s just your guess.” Charles denied, “Men would love to toy with a woman like you for a short time,
but it will be definitely boring as time goes on.”
“Did you get me even for once?” Hannah asked
Charles’s face fell.
“You have no right to say I’m boring since you never got my heart” Hannah taunted, “Your words are
nothing but sour grapes.”
“Hannah, don’t take yourself too seriously!”
“Am I right? You can lie to anyone except yourself.” Hannah was pretty sure of this. She didn’t think
Charles would have a favor for her, instead, she knew that Charles could not stand he was refused by
others. He must want the things he failed to get. He couldn’t stand any failure so that he could enjoy his
superiority! Charles was such an arrogant boaster.
