Chapter 657 Parting
After changing into pyjamas, Oscar went to bed. Hannah was already in bed. Neither said a word in the
dimly lit room, immersed in the endless sorrow of parting. Hannah felt Oscar''s sadness whenever he
left Cian, from small torge. She reclined sideways on Oscar''s chest. Oscar was lost in thought then.
He was momentarily astonished when Hannah approached him and then took her into his arms tightly
but gently. Hannah heard his forceful heartbeat, which was not essible tomorrow.
"How often will youe back, Oscar?"
"I''m not sure." Oscar shook his head.
"I''m afraid I''m gonna miss you." Said Hannah in distress.
"Come on," Oscar smiled deliberately, "Strip out ''I''m afraid''."
Pursing her lips, Hannah heard Oscar saying firmly, "I will miss you." Her heart was pounding. Oscar
was the man who could always take her breath away. She couldn''t tell how much she wanted Oscar to
stay, which was as much as her desire to leave with him. There was too much helplessness in the adult
world.
Hannah nodded silently, swallowing all the sentences that rose to her throat, except this one, "Take
care and stay alive."
"All right." Oscar embraced Hannah tightly.
It was a sleepless night. Hannah fell asleep after all. When she woke up, it was empty by her side. It

was Oscar''s style to leave silently. He seemed to fear parting, possibly because he had often parted his
brother. Looking at the emptiness beside her, Hannah felt a sense of loss. She sighed. After adjusting
her mood, Hannah got up. It was shocking that she had already been used to the everyday life with
Oscar-he brushed her teeth, washed her face, and even carried her to the toilet...
Finishing the morning wash, Hannah went downstairs and took the breakfast prepared by Max. While
eating, Hannah asked, "What time did Oscar leave?"
"Before 6 am, madam, Jimmy sent him to the airport," Max answered.
Hannah looked at the clock and counted the time. It was more than one hour''s flight to the Capital, so
Oscar must have gotten off the ne. But he didn''t give her any phone call, short message or
whatever. Was he far too upied to do so? Hannah finished her breakfast without a word and went to
work in Jimmy''s car. Jimmy was a silent man. He tended not to say anything unless Hannah asked
him. So Hannah didn''t know anything about his sending Oscar to the airport. She sighed, seeing the
scene through the window in a daze.
"Madam," It was rare that Jimmy offered to talk to her.
Hannah''s eyes moved, "Yes?"
"Master Oscar said that time would be beyond his control when he arrived in the Capital, so he hoped
madam did not worry about him if he couldn''t call or send you a message timely." Said Jimmy.
Hannah was astonished that Jimmy should make such a long speech.
He added, "Master Oscar also said he would return whenever possible. And he wanted madam to care
for yourself and your baby, not miss him too much."
Hannah smiled softly, being warmed by Oscar''s consideration. Sometimes simple words between the
beloved could please them for a long time.
The car arrived at Cooper Group. Hannah sat in her office and listened to Rose''s work report. Finishing
reporting, Rose said, "Ms Hannah, have you heard the news about Phillips Bank?"
"What?" Hannah''s countenance changed.
"It is said that there is a boardroom power struggle in Phillips Bank, but I''m not sure about the specifics.
I guess it is no small matter as it hit the headlines." As a secretary, she should also know about the
industry news.
"Got it." Hannah answered, "Can you get me a cup of milk?"
"Sure."
Before Rose left, she nced back at Jimmy, Who tensed up when feeling her stares. Rose pursued
him relentlessly these days, ignoring all his in statements and coldness. She approached him again
and asked, "What will you have?"
"Mineral water," answered Jimmy indifferently.
"Just like you."
Jimmy frowned in confusion.
"An unromantic backwater," Rose muttered.
Jimmy pursed his lips without a word.
Rose found it incredulous. Did she chase after a ball of air for over a month? How could Jimmy neglect
what she had done all the time? She tossed a sachet in her hand at Jimmy while he blocked it with a
p. The sachet fell on the ground a few feet away. Rose''s countenance looked dreadful,
"Did you think I threw a dynamite at you?"
Jimmy''s Adam''s apple moved slightly-he did have thought so.
"It was made by myself. Take it or leave it!" Rose walked away without another word, angrily.
Seeing their interaction, Hannah thought there were hardly bosses who would indulge their employees
in flirting during working hours. Hannah turned her eyes away and dialled Manuel''s number to ask
about the affairs inside Phillips Bank. She had a feeling that it had much to do with him.
The phone put through quickly, "Good morning, Hannah."
"Good morning, Manuel. I heard that there is something wrong with Phillips Bank?" Hannah asked.
Manuel expected this phone call as the news hit the headlines. He said, "Henry and his clique want to
force me to resign under public opinion."
"Who is him to do so?" Hannah was a bit angry.
"I set a goal when I took office but haven''t achieved it yet because of many idents during this
period."
Hannah nodded,prehending Manuel''s choice, which she made to barely secure her seat in the
"But don''t worry, I can manage it."
"What can I do for you?"
"No, I''m afraid," Manuel said frankly, "I''ve checked out that the close cooperation between you and
Phillips Bank is not helpful for me. So don''t bother; I can manage."
"So you look down on me?"
"No, I don''t."
Hannah was just kidding, "Anyway, feel free to call me if anywhere I could help."
"Sure."
"And don''t get ahead of yourself."
"I won''t."
"All right, that''s it."
"By the way, did my cousin leave this morning?" Manuel asked.
"Yeah, earlier than I could catch a glimpse of him."
Manuel smiled, knowing it was Oscar''s style.
He said, "Theodore is likely to go there with him. So don''t worry, he''ll be fine."
"All right," Hannah nodded.
She could only think that way instead of imagining the worst.
"OK, that''s it. I''m going to deal with the work at hand."
"All right."
Manuel hung up the telephone and looked at his secretary, who had just knocked on the door and
entered. She said nervously, "Mr Johnson, there is a meeting in the boardroom."
