Chapter 62
Wendy Lim was definitely sure that it was Charlie Hogg.
Although he was not in the Ice city, his arrogance and domination were still here.
She sighed and sent Tom and the girl to leave, then walked back to the hospital.
However, on the way back to the hospital, she kept repeating the word " Mr. Hogg " in her head. Even when she got out of the elevator, the situation had not improved, so that she was knocked by the infusion holder of a patient passing by.
As soon as she entered the ward, her phone rang again.
Wendy Lim had already known who it would be before she took out the phone.
Her knee was still a little painful. When she picked it up, she deliberately did not say anything.
"What's wrong? Why are you in a low mood?"
Charlie Hogg's tone sounded lazy and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Noticing that she didn't answer, he was not angry. He asked slowly, "How's the coffee?"
"Not so good." Wendy Lim was angry when she heard this. She deliberately said, "I was kicked out halfway. A rich man booked all seats..."
"It made you so upset that you can't date with the colleague?"
"It's not a dating..."
Wendy Lim had to correct him, "What's more, the colleague called Tom. Today I didn't meet him alone. Another girl, my fellow schoolmate, was with me. I was playing cupid for them there." "So why do you sound upset?" Charlie Hogg snorted.
Wendy Lim was speechless. She rubbed her knees and said, "I fell down accidentally just now."
"Silly!" Charlie Hogg shouted at her, and then asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yes." Wendy Lim said.
She did not know if it was her illusion that she could feel he cared about her.
When Wendy Lim was trying to find more evidences, she heard he continued, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
"Eh?" Wendy Lim was surprised, "Didn't you say that you would spend more than a week?"
Charlie Hogg paused for a while, it seemed that he was smoking, "The trip to Beijing is cancelled temporarily. So I'll go back directly. The flight will arrive at night. I'll see you when I get home." "Oh, I got it." Wendy Lim nodded.
"Warm my bed," Charlie Hogg said.
"Okay..." Wendy Lim was obedient.
She really couldn't understand why he always asked her to warm his bed. "Don't want to hang up?"
After a long period of silence, Charlie Hogg asked her.
Wendy Lim bit her lips and murmured, "You said I was not allowed to hang up your phone call..."
"Haha, good girl!" Charlie Hogg laughed.
His laughter came to her ear, mixed with the last two words. Wendy Lim felt itchy in her ear, as if the laughter had been spreading inside. It was really...
It was too much like the whispering between lovers.
After hanging up the phone, Wendy Lim breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously touched her burning face.
She looked up and continued to walk inside. Grandma, who was reading newspaper on the bed, was also looking at her. Grandma smiled and said, "Wendy, are you on the phone with your boyfriend?" "Well." Wendy Lim was uncertain and felt a little guilty.
"You're in love now, my darling. I remember the time when I fell in love with your grandfather!"
"Grandma, don't make fun of me..."
Wendy Lim lowered her head with embarrassment, and the temperature on her face was raising.
For an instant, she almost believed that Charlie Hogg was really her boyfriend.
Grandma pulled the presbyopic glasses down and suddenly asked, "Oh Wendy, have you ever told me the name of your boyfriend?" "He's Charlie..." Wendy Lim almost blurted out.
It was too late to hold back his name when she realized.
Grandma continued, "What's his full name?"
"Er, Charlie Hogg." Wendy Lim couldn't make up a name, so she told the truth.
Moreover, even if she told grandma, the old lady, who stayed in the hospital every day, would not know who Charlie Hogg was.
Grandma frowned when she heard the name.
After a while, she turned over the newspaper in her hand and asked Wendy, "Is this one on the paper?"
"..." Wendy Lim was shocked.
What a coincidence!
On the internal page of the newspaper, more than half of the page was relating to financial news.
There was a photo on it. The man in the photo was wearing a hand-made suit. Although he was sitting on the sofa, he couldn't hide his tall figure. He was a capable and experienced businessman, without a trace of impatience. There was a cold and reserved look on his face. Who else could it be other than Charlie Hogg?
Wendy Lim was in a dilemma, so she had to nod.
After she confirmed, grandma was glad but also worried.
The day after tomorrow came in the blink of an eye. When the Bentley drove in from the entrance of the upscale residential quarter, it was already past one o'clock in the early morning.
Charlie Hogg, who was fatigued with the journey, pulled his luggage out of the elevator. When he opened the door, warm lights spilled out.
He paused for a moment and then remembered that he had called her.
Charlie Hogg swallowed.
During the past years, when he arrived home and opened the door at night, only darkness inside. He lived a plain and repeated life for so many years, which was like stagnant water. But now, there was someone waiting for him, so it seemed that he was not alone anymore.
The bedroom door was not closed. When Charlie Hogg walked in, he saw a slim figure leaning against the bed.
There was a book that was bigger than her face lying on her knees. Her head was lowered, and her face was full of tiredness. She kept nodding, but she tried her best not to completely close her eyes. "You're so sleepy, why don't you sleep?"
Wendy Urn's chin was pinched by someone all of a sudden, and she looked up.
After a few seconds of daze, she saw him clearly. He must have just arrived. His suit and coat hadn't been taken off, and he looked as if he had come back from winds and rains.
Wendy Lim scratched her long hair and muttered, "I dare not sleep..." "Oh?" Charlie Hogg raised his eyebrows.
Wendy Lim took a look at him, curled her lips, and complained, "You told me last time that if you don't come back, I can't sleep..."
"Why are you so obedient?" Charlie Hogg smiled.
Wendy Lim didn't say a word and snorted in her heart.
When she looked up again, she found that there was a big smile on his face, which was unusual to see in the past.
"Grumble-"
The sound from tummy was loud and clear in the night.
Wendy Lim had a full dinner at night, so she could not make the sound. She looked at Charlie and found that he looked a little uneasy.
She was a little surprised, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"I was having meeting all the day. I went straight to the airport when all meeting ends and only had a glass of water. I almost couldn't catch up the flight." Charlie took off his suit jacket. There was only water in his stomach, so it was strange that he was not hungry.
"The flight should offer something to eat." Wendy Lim was puzzled.
"The food tasted bad." Charlie answered, biting his lips.
He was so picky!
Wendy Lim thought that he hadn't eaten for a whole day, so she lifted the quilt and said, "Wait for while!" Charlie Hogg didn't pay much attention to her. He unbuttoned his shirt and went into the bathroom.
When he came out of the bathroom, he heard some noises from downstairs, and the air was full of the smell of delicious food. When he came to the restaurant, he saw a bowl of steaming noodles in Wendy's hand.
Charlie Hogg was stunned for a moment.
