Chapter 332 Good News, Bad News
Chapter 332 Good News, Bad News
Oscar’s hopes were dashed and he was upset.
Hannah found it hard to comfort him but she did not mean to turn him down this time.
The next morning, they recovered after two days’ rest and they went to work separately.
When they were having breakfast at the table, Oscar looked at the phone and a number suddenly
appeared: “9060”.
Hannah frowned and asked, “What does it mean?”
“9059.” Oscar continued.
Hannah wondered whether Oscar was in a trance.
“9058.”
“Are you possessed?”
“No.” Oscar put down his phone and looked up at Hannah. “I’m timing.”
“Why are you timing?” Hannah wondered. She could not figure out what Oscar was thinking.
“To see how long until your period ends.”
Speechless, Hannah found nothing to say and lowered her head to eat. She refused to say a word to
Oscar.
Noticing her look, Oscar chuckled with affection for her.
They went out together after they finished breakfast. Jimmy sent Oscar first because he was supposed
to follow Hannah to work.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Hannah looked at the bandage on Oscar’s hand. “Are you sure you could go to work with this? If you
take a few more days off, they won’t complain you.”
“They told me to go.”
Hannah frowned.
“The election results would be announced today, and they would let me take office, I supposed.” Said
Oscar.
Since Charles had quit, it was possible that things would go as he anticipated. The City Hall had a
reason to take advantage of the news and start to hype.
The car soon arrived at the site. Oscar got off the car.
“If the result came out, please tell me.” Hannah exhorted.
“Okay.” Oscar sounded obedient.
Then Hannah let Jimmy drive away and she looked back, seeing Oscar, who was standing in the back
of the car, watching her leave.
Hannah could not help but grin. The little things Oscar didi for her sometimes make her feel happy. On
the contrary, what Charles had done to her in the last life were not a patch on what Oscar did for her in
this life.
Hannah and Jimmy soon arrived at the Cooper building and she walked into her office.
Rose followed her.
For the first time, she didn’t report the work as soon as he opened her mouth. Instead, she said, “Ms
Hannah, I do admire your husband Oscar’s heroic deeds.”
Hannah glanced at her and sat down in her office chair, her brows slightly raised. “Have you had a lot
of free time lately?”
“No,” she replied. “I just can’t hide my feelings.”
“Are you sure you’re not brown-nosing?” asked Hannah.
“Fifty percent at the most,” Rose said with a straight face.
Hannah chuckled. She knew Rose was not so boring after all. Sometimes she thought Rose had a
lovable personality. Hannah cleared her throat and said, “Report the work please.”
“Yes,” Rose replied, “During your absence from the company, the work of several departments has
been carried out according to your requirements. This is the most important work progress for each
department. Please take a look.”
Hannah browsed the documents.
“Recently, the Municipal Bureau of Land Management is working on a major new city construction
project—the planning for South Bay New Town. It has been announced that there will be a tender in the
near future. I have made a preliminary check. The transaction for this project will probably mount to ten
billion. So it should be the most important program for us.” Rose continued.
“Yes,” Hannah agreed, “I was aware of the project when I left Kensbury City. It was a huge deal, and if
it went through, it would bring us a huge profit. So success is not an option.”
“Although we can’t be so arrogant, we have to say that we are experts in urban construction. There
should be no one more suitable than us across the whole country. It’s about the look of a city, and I
personally think we have a good chance of winning the bid.”
Hannah shook her head. It was too early to say, she thought.
Although she had asked her father to give it up in the previous life, Cooper Group might not have
succeeded in the end due to the fact that Charles was treacherous, and that they would never have
imagined the sinister methods the Sawyers would use. So it was very likely that they would be the
losers in the end. But she advised her father to give up the project, thus they managed to avoid a lot of
bad things.
In this life, everything was unknown.
“Do you think something would come up?” Rose asked.
“We should be careful,” Hannah said. “Tell the public relations department to ask for the bidding plan
from the bureau. Inform me immediately if there’s any news.”
“OK,” Rose said, “Still black coffee?”
“I don’t drink coffee today. A glass of lemonade with more sugar, please.”
“Are you pregnant, Ms Hannah?”
Hannah almost spurted out, “What do you think?”
“Oh. I assumed you were pregnant because you wanted something acidic.”
“I said more sugar.” said Hannah.
“I’m just speculating.” Rose felt wronged by Hannah. “Besides, you’ve been married for a long time.
Isn’t it normal to get pregnant?”
“Less gossip. Or I’ll give you more job!”
Rose closed her mouth and turned to leave.
Hannah was a little annoyed since there was always someone who kept talking about pregnancy and
giving birth these days. Even if she slept with Oscar, she did not want to have children. A decision on
giving birth of a child should be based on careful thinking.
Hannah lowered her head and concentrated on work.
At 11 am, she received a call from Oscar.
“Oscar.” Hannah was somehow excited. She told herself that she was just looking forward to the news
of Oscar’s appointment. After all, the better Oscar developed, the better it would be for her.
“We have good news and bad news. which is the first one you are ready to listen to?” Oscar said.
“What do you mean?”
“I came to work today and received two pieces of news. Which would you like to hear first, Hannah?”
“One of them is bad news.” Hannah raised her eyebrows. She felt inexplicably nervous.
“Bad for me.”
Hannah was a little silent.
“Tell me the good news first.” She rejected to hear the bad news.
“I was appointed. The appointment will soon be published, at most half an hour.”
“What’s the bad news?” There was still a bad news, so the good news was not as exciting as she might
think.
