Chapter 73
Wendy felt pain in her ear, but she didn't dare to say anything.
When he moved in a distance, she touched her ear and asked in a low voice, "How about... I go back to the hotel?"
"No!" Charlie put the cigarette back in his mouth.
Observing for a few seconds, Wendy found that he really had no intention of asking her to leave, so she took out the lipstick.
Fortunately, the makeup artist gave it to her before she left. Her lipstick had been kissed off by him. She needed to slightly fix her make-up.
She didn't have a mirror, so she replaced it with her phone screen.
It was a bit dark, and she rarely put on makeup. Wendy apply it very slowly.
Charlie kept flicking the cigarette ashes, but his eyes had been fixed on her, watching she applied the lipstick.
She wore an off-shoulder gown, and her two arms were exposed in the air. The black gown made her skin look white. Her face was delicate when she put on makeup.
She was not that awesome beautiful, but she could absolutely catch people's eyes.
Especially her red lips, which seemed to attract men to kiss... Charlie felt a little dry. He took a drag on his cigarette again, only to find that it had the cigarette was burned to the end. Fortunately, Farr, who was sitting in the front, turned back and said respectfully, "Mr. Hogg, we arrived!"
Charlie stubbed out his cigarette and nodded lightly.
The car stopped. Wendy hid the lipstick in her hand. Then, Farr got off first and opened the rear door for her.
As she lifted the hem of her gown and was about to get off the car, she felt someone pulling her arm.
"Bang!" The car door was closed.
Wendy turned around, and Charlie kissed her again.
"Uh..."
She turned her head back.
Five minutes later, the car door was opened again.
Charlie and Wendy got off one by one. The former looked calm as usual, while the latter lowered her head with a red face.
Coming out of the elevator, Wendy touched the corner of her lips with her fingers.
She had applied the lipstick in a hurry just now, so some of it had been applied beyond her lips.
Wendy lowered her head and looked at his strong arm that she held. She couldn't help pulling him gently, "Charlie, next time, can you tell me before you kiss me?" "Hm?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.
"I'll remove the lipstick first..." "Hm?" Charlie raised his eyebrows again.
Wendy licked her lips and said in a serious tone, "I'm afraid you'll be poisoned!"
Charlie,
Farr, who was standing behind them, burst into laughter, he was glared by Charlie, and then he moved his eyes away in a hurry.
The banquet was held in a large venue. There were crowded with people in gorgeous clothes.
Charlie led Wendy inside. Along the way, many people greeted them. She suddenly felt that she was like the Cinderella. The hem of her gown was spilling over the carpet. Everything was so unreal. The atmosphere was very lively. As the music sounded, some people walked to the dance floor, and the rest were drinking and chatting.
Charlie shook the red wine in his hand and raised his chin towards the dance floor in the center, "Can you dance?"
"No..." Wendy was embarrassed.
"Silly girl!" Charlie said to her, "I'll teach you later."
Wendy shook her head and answered, "I don't want to do. I don't like it..."
At this time, Farr walked to them and pointed to a foreigner not far away, saying that he was the CEO of an overseas finance company.
Charlie nodded and said to her, "I have something to talk with him. I'll be back soon."
"OK!" Wendy answered. Charlie took two steps and turned back. Sure enough, he saw her gentle and docile look.
He walked back and said with satisfaction, "You don't have to wait there all the time. You can walk around as you like. There are some self-service food on the opposite side, and I can find you." "Oh, I got it..."
After she nodded, Charlie turned around and left with Farr.
With his permission, Wendy moved to the place where there were fewer people. She was a little hungry, but she had no appetite when facing so many foods. She only ate a small piece of cake and put down the plate.
She felt unease when Charlie wasn't by her side,
There were people coming in from time to time at the entrance. Wendy cast a glance at the entrance.
Only a glance, she was shocked.
Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, she couldn't mistake.
...It was him!
Wendy couldn't suppress the panic in her mind. She was sweating on her forehead and hands, but she felt cold all over her body.
A waiter passed by with some champagne. She took a glass, drank it up, and managed to calm down.
When she turned around, the man had already seen her and walked over.
He seemed to be afraid that she would run away and came to her in the blink of an eye, "Wennie, it's you!"
He was tall and strong, the same as the man in her memory. His outstanding facial features made him looked serious.
However, when he smiled, he was indescribably charming. His smile was like the breeze in Spring, which could warm your body and your heart. He looked mature and experienced. Wendy was choked, and she could only stare at him.
However, another man walked to her and said, "Miss, may I have the pleasure of dancing with you?"
"I'm sorry!"
Wendy heard he said in an American accent, and then she was brought to the dance floor by him.
Her two hands were pulled up by him, one on his shoulder, one on his waist, and his hands also fell on her shoulder and waist. Then, they began to move with the music.
Wendy was in a trance, as if she had returned to the past.
It was in the old house in the alley, he played the music with the recording tape. He whirled around with her in the same way. She couldn't dance well, and would step on his shoes from time to time. But he was still full of patience, took her to whirl, whirl again...
Her memory and the reality overlapped. Wendy's eyes fixed on his face.
"I thought I was wrong. I saw you at the Times Square that night."
"..." Wendy choked.
She also remembered the familiar figure that flashed past in the Times Square that day.
Seeing that she remained silent, he smiled and patted her on the head like he used to do, "You're a heartless girl, are you going to keep silent all the time?"
Wendy opened her mouth and shouted, "Felix..."
She had made a great effort to speak out his name.
Wendy thought that he would question her why she had not appeared at the airport a year ago, or why she had been avoiding him. However, when he spoke again, he smiled and said, "Daniel misses you very much."
Then, what about you?
Wendy blurted out in her heart.
She would asked him in the past, but now, she couldn't do so...
The song ended, the dancing men and women next to them all let go of each other. Wendy saw Charlie standing there and watching them.
