Chapter 45
After saying that, Charlie Hogg sat upright.
Wendy Lim stared at him with surprise, and his breath was still lingering on her lips.
She thought...
Charlie Hogg cast a sidelong glance at her, "Don't want to get out of my car?"
The indifferent look on his face did not change, but Wendy Linn's face turned red because of his gaze.
"No!" She shook her head.
She unbuckled the seat belt and bounced up from the seat. Before closing the door, she bent over and said to him, "Mr. Hogg, I'm going upstairs. Take care... Good night!"
The last two words made Wendy Lim feel a little awkward. She quickly ran into the corridor.
Instead of going upstairs immediately, she hid behind the gate of the building.
After the white Land Rover started again, she craned forward her head.
Staring at the taillights of the car, a strange feeling emerged in Wendy Lim's heart.
The next afternoon, Wendy Lim's supervisor talked to her alone after meeting.
He told her that there was a case that needed to be discussed with a supplier, so she needed to prepare documents and went to the supplier's company together with him.
Wendy Lim dared not to neglect it. Half an hour later, she left with the supervisor.
The taxi stopped in the most prosperous area of the central city. The skyscraper was the first thing that caught their eye, which was so magnificent.
When Wendy Lim saw the very eye-catching signage The Hogg's, she understood why the supervisor brought her here. Perhaps it was because he thought she might build a relationship with Charlie Hogg during the business dinner last time.
After waiting for half an hour in the conference room, Charlie Hogg finally appeared, followed by his assistant Farr Chiang.
When he saw her, there was a little surprise in his eyes, but it was gone soon.
He was still in a black handmade suit which had a straight shoulder line and matched perfect with the exquisite tie. He was delicate and neat from head to toe. The shutters was shut, which made his facial features more outstanding.
After Charlie Hogg sat down, Farr Chiang next to him immediately handed the documents to him.
"Sorry."
He only said one word, and then began to work. He looked around and his eyes didn't rest on anyone.
Except for the business dinner last time, it was the first time for Wendy Lim to see him in a business meeting.
In addition to his indifference face, there was some strictness between his eyebrows. He poked on the table with the pen between his fingers. His every word did make sense. He was unassuming but made people regard him with reverence. No wonder so many people would support and be loyal to him.
Wendy Lim kept up her spirit until the meeting ended.
She packed up the documents and walked out of the elevator with the supervisor.
As soon as she got out from the revolving door, people behind her greeted respectfully, "Mr. Hogg ".
Wendy Lim and the supervisor turned around at the same time and saw Charlie Hogg and his assistant Farr Chiang coming out. They should have another plan next.
Charlie Hogg said in a plain tone, "Can I give you a ride? I'm going your way."
"Thank you, Mr. Hogg!" The supervisor answered immediately.
There was a black Bentley parked by the road. Farr Chiang had already run over and opened the rear door.
Wendy Lim was almost dragged over by the supervisor. He looked at Charlie Hogg, who had already gotten into the car, and turned back to her, "Wendy, hurry up, sit in the middle!" "Er..."
Before she could refuse, she had been pushed into the car. The driver started the car. Wendy Lim was sitting between Charlie Hogg and the supervisor. The supervisor seemed to be very pleased by Charlie Hogg's behavior and kept flattering him with his hands rubbing together.
Charlie Hogg was always indifferent to flattery and showed a faint smile occasionally.
Wendy Lim looked forward, listened to their chatting. Suddenly, a hand covered her left hand.
Her heart was beating fast.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but it was caught more tightly.
The warmth transferred from Charlie Hogg's hand to hers, and he even circled on the back of her hand with his rough fingertip.
Wendy Lim's breathing slowed down. She gritted her teeth and reminded him,"... Mr. Hogg?"
"What's wrong?" Charlie Hogg looked at her.
He answered in a casual tone and his expression was serious. Even the supervisor look at her with curiosity.
Wendy Lim couldn't raise her left hand, then she blushed.
When they had dinner with Yolanda Lim, he stretched one foot to touch her leg. And now, he did a similar thing. She knew that he seemed to be good at such kind of things. "Nothing. Thank you for sending us back..."
Wendy Lim could only find an excuse. When the redness on her face was about to spread to her ears, Charlie Hogg finally withdrew his hand slowly.
What happened just now seemed to be a deliberate trick, but also an accident.
When Wendy Lim went back to the company and sat down, her phone vibrated.
It was a strange number. She answered with hesitation, "Hello?"
"It's me."
Wendy Lim heard the man's voice, and she almost couldn't hold the phone.
Charlie Hogg seemed to be still in the car, and the sound of the engine could be heard. He said, "Come to my home at nine this evening."
Wendy Urn's ears were buzzing.
She was gooseflesh all over when she remembered what he said before, went to him when he wanted.
"Oh..." She answered obediently.
Then, she found that he was still on the line. She was about to ask when she heard he said in a low voice, "Remember to buy two packs of Okamoto when you come."
"..." Wendy Lim nearly choked.
"Don't you know that emergency medicine can only be taken twice a year?"
... I see.
Wendy Lim hanged up in a hurry. Her face was hotter than she was in the car.
Since she received Charlie Hogg's call, Wendy Lim had been ill at ease.
Because she resigned from the bar, she had plenty of time. She stayed with her grandma in the hospital until it was getting dark. She was afraid of being late, so she left for Charlie Hogg's home an hour earlier Before getting on the bus, she got into a convenience store.
Perhaps because it was in the evening, there were a lot of people in the store. She quickly scanned the items on the shelves and stopped in one place.
After looking around, she reached out one hand to take two packs of condoms quickly. Then her face turned red.
"Miss, how can I help you?"
It was her turn to pay. The cashier asked with the code scanning machine in one hand.
Wendy Lim didn't raise her head. After a while, she handed two packs of condoms to the cashier, and said in a quiet low voice, "Err! I want to pay for these..."
She grasped the changes, ignored the cashier's jesting eyes, and ran out quickly.
She would never come to this convenience store again...
Wendy Lim put two packs of condoms in her bag. She couldn't understand why she should come to buy these!
At nine o'clock, she got off the bus.
However, after entering the housing estate, Wendy Lim paused for a long time. Looking at the building before her, she didn't know where to go. What's worse, she had deleted the address that Charlie Hogg texted to her.
"Why didn't you arrive?"
Half an hour later, Charlie Hogg called her and asked with an angry tone.
Wendy Lim looked at her shadow on the ground. She answered like a child who had done something wrong, "I forgot which building you lived at..."
