Chapter 216
"You don't have to say it! I'm not blind!"
The driver was scolded, and when he spoke again, he was a little more cautious. "Miss Lim, do we still need to go in?"
After all, they were driving for more than two hours from Ice city, and there were also a lot of men's clothes and daily necessities in the trunk. When they were ready to go, Mrs. Lim was still telling them, "It's an opportunity!"
Madge answered the driver with a sharp look. He immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
The two figures in her sight had disappeared from the apartment building. Madge narrowed her eyes coldly and clenched her fists tightly, trying to hold back her anger.
She didn't raise the window back up until the temperature in the car had all dropped.
She didn't say anything, and the driver didn't dare to do anything rashly, but to wait there, and the air in the car was cold.
Madge looked very pale. She took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed a number quickly.
"Hello, Madge?"
The deep voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end. Two dimples instantly showed on Madge's face, which made her totally different from the person she was a moment ago.
On the busy Monday, it was already noon when Wendy rushed back to the company.
Last night, under Charlie's insistence, the ticket was temporarily re-signed. After that, she was thrown onto the bed, and her clothes were in a mess on the ground. Naturally, she could not escape from being squeezed out of her body at night.
They had decided that she would take the first train the next day, but when she opened her eyes the next morning, she was forced to do it again. When she looked at her watch again, it was already past nine o'clock...
Even if Donna had bought their company, she couldn't go public violations of the company system...
Wendy got off the taxi and rushed to the office building.
It was lunch break at this time, and there were not many people in the office. Some went out for dinner or in the tea room. She sat on the chair panting, and her cell phone rang at the same time, as if someone had been calculated.
"You're at the office?"
A quiet male voice came, and she whispered, "Yeah, I just arrived..."
"Did you have your lunch?" Charlie asked again.
"I had it on the train..." Wendy replied. The box lunches were so expensive, she felt bad about paying for them. After that, she also asked him, "What about you?"
"I've had it already." Charlie complained, "It's awful!"
Wendy looked away slightly to see a faint reflection of herself on the computer screen holding a cell phone, her lips curled upwards. She couldn't help but let out a "puff".
"What are you laughing at?" Charlie asked immediately.
She answered him honestly, "I suddenly feel like we're in a long-distance relationship..."
There was silence for two seconds on the other side of Charlie's side. Then he said with some resentment, "Later, I'll call my aunt to discuss it, and then we'll make a long-term cooperation case. It's better to let you work with me!"
Oh my god!
He was using his power to plot his own interests!
Wendy couldn't agree with him at all. There was no such thing.
"What if she doesn't agree..." She couldn't help but ask.
"If she doesn't agree, you can just quit!" Charlie snorted.
Wendy surrendered completely. When she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, she suddenly heard him say, "I've got a call coming in. Wendy, I'll call you later!"
She hurriedly said yes and waited until he hung up before putting the phone down.
The phone was a little hot for a long time call. She felt her fingers were also hot, and so was her heart.
On the other side, Charlie, who was sitting in a high-backed chair, looked at the phone screen after hung up Wendy. He frowned for a moment and then picked it up. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he said, "Dad."
The lights were on, in a chain of retail-type KTV.
The music in the box was noisy, and Wendy took out her mobile phone, which was shaking, from her bag.
"Uh, I'll go out and pick up the phone!"
"Boyfriend?" One of her colleagues joked.
Wendy did not answer, but the look on her face had betrayed her.
She walked all the way to the bathroom, then closed the door and picked it up."... Hello?"
"You're not at home?" Charlie came up an abrupt question.
"Uh!" Wendy was stunned then answered in a blink. "No, I'm outside!"
She thought that it's the background noise that gave her away, so he had discovered it. Before he could ask more details, she had begun to explain, "Today is one of my colleague's birthday, and most people in my department are here to celebrate it together!"
"Okay." Charlie said flatly.
Wendy couldn't help asking him, "What are you doing?" " Smoking."
When he answered, he seemed to spit out a mouthful of smoke.
Through the line, Wendy seemed to smell the smell of smoke. She couldn't help but remind, "Charlie, you should smoke less. It's not good for your health..."
"I'm putting it out." Charlie said. After a pause, he suddenly asked her, "When are you going home?"
"It's time to cut the cake later. It'll be over soon," Wendy replied.
"Okay." Charlie replied calmly, "Then you go have fun."
Seeing that he didn't want to hang up the phone, Wendy was reluctant to leave. She couldn't help saying, "It's okay, we can talk for a while..."
"I have a video call. I'll hang up first!"
"Oh..."
Wendy hung up the phone and felt a little disappointed.
Recalling that she said that the two of them seemed to be in a long- distance relationship yesterday, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.
Back in the box, the cake had been placed in the center of the room. The birthday girl had put on her birthday cap, and all colleagues were pushing together to put candles. On the projection cloth, there was a happy birthday song. She followed up and clapped her hands together with the music. Wendy caught up with the last bus.
After she came down, she stepped on the hazy moonlight and walked to the old residential area. At this time, very few people were walking, only leaving the sound of her three-centimeter high heels falling to the ground.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace and wanted to go upstairs quickly.
Suddenly, there was a car's headlights in front of her. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a momentary loss of sight, and Wendy subconsciously reached out her hand to block it.
It was a car parked in front of the building. She couldn't tell the vehicle type temporarily because of the street lamps, but it's the outline of an SUV. There seemed to be a man sitting on the driver's seat inside, who was opening the door and getting out at this time.
In the quiet night, the hand-made black suit set off the tall and strong figure.
When the door was closed, he looked at her from a distance with his hands down. He had a strong facial features and a pair of deep eyes. At this time, his back was to the night, like a bright starry sky above.
When Wendy's sight finally recovered, she was shocked instantly.
"...Charlie?"
She opened her eyes wide and cried out in a low voice.
As if to confirm what she saw was real, Charlie leaned against the door and raised his eyebrows. "Finally you come back."
Wendy was stunned on the spot. After coming to her senses, she quickly ran over and touched him with both hands. Ecstasy exploded from the bottom of her heart, then she had been held tightly in his arms.
