Chapter 91
Wendy's neck was completely exposed, and she couldn't hide anymore.
She swallowed, and her eyelashes trembled as she looked away, "I forgot to put on the necklace after showering last night..."
Charlie slowly withdrew his hand and put the other hand with the cigarette on his lips.
He took a long slow pull at the cigarette and then blew the smoke to her. He asked slowly, "Wendy, what did I say after I put the necklace on you?"
Wendy clasped her hands quietly.
"Answer me!" Charlie suddenly shouted.
Wendy shrank her shoulders, bit her lips, and answered, "Wherever I go, I must keep it on my neck all the time..."
"What else?"
"I'm not allowed to take it off even when I'm showering..."
After finishing, Wendy was annoyed about the ridiculous excuse that she had said just now.
"Have you notice your special habit?" When Charlie spoke again, he put the unfinished cigarette in the tank and separated her clasped hands. Then he turned over her hands and added, "Your palms are sweaty when you're telling a lie."
Wendy felt nervous and her heart beat faster. This man was so perceptive!
She could hide nothing in front of him. Everything could be discovered by him.
Charlie rubbed away the sweat in her hands and stared at her, "Once more. Where's the necklace?"
Wendy looked at him and dared not tell him the truth. She said in a low voice, "I lost it..."
The corner of Charlie's mouth suddenly tightened.
He stared at her for a few seconds with her deep eyes. Then he shook off her hands and strode upstairs.
Wendy lowered her head and didn't dare to turn off the lights in the living room until his footsteps disappeared. After that, she went to upstairs quietly.
She pushed open the bedroom door and found that Charlie was not taking a shower. Instead, he took off his clothes and lay on the bed. His face was so gloomy, and his thin lips were tightened to a sharp line. Wendy stepped forward, picked up the clothes on the floor and hung them up.
"Uh, you don't want to take a shower?"
She asked tentatively but got no answer.
Wendy licked her lips and continued, "Then I'll go first..."
He didn't reply her either, as if she was talking to herself. During the whole process, Charlie didn't even give her a glimpse.
Seeing that, Wendy did not go to the bathroom. She stood still, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
Although she indeed did something wrong...
After keeping the deadlock for a while, Wendy walked to the big bed, gently bypassed the end of the bed, and then stood next to him. Looking at the gloomy and indifferent eyes of Charlie, she plucked up the courage to close to him.
She leaned on his body, which looked like a koala.
In fact, she was afraid of being kicked down by him.
Fortunately, Charlie did not do that. He still tightened face and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
"Well." Wendy carefully observed his expression and said obediently, "You said that if you were angry, I would come to hug you or kiss you..." Charlie finally looked straight at her.
However, the gloom on his face did not reduce, and his thin lips were still tightened.
Wendy thought that this method didn't work and was about to leave. However, he suddenly said.
"You have not kissed me yet!"
Wendy was speechless.
Alright, she blinked her eyes.
She had never taken the initiative to kiss anyone. At this moment, regardless of her shyness, she took a deep breath and put her lips close to him. She gave him a soft kiss.
When she moved away form his body, Charlie's face seemed to relax a lot.
Wendy drooped eyelashes and apologized to him, "I'm so sorry..."
"I didn't do it on purpose! I don't want to lose it. I like it very much..."
"Are you sure?" Charlie heard her words and put his hand on her waist.
"Yes..." Wendy answered seriously, and the most important thing was that the necklace was quite expensive.
The necklace costed more than ten thousand. Of course, she was not willing to lose it. Moreover, she was wearing it for such a long time, she was more or less accustomed to feeling it brought to her. It seemed that the key pendant had been always hanging on her neck.
After losing it, she felt empty in her heart.
Her waist was pinched hard by the hand that put there.
Wendy cried out in pain, and then she was pressed under his body. He ground his teeth and said, "Why didn't you lose yourself. See how I'll punish you!"
The next morning, the white Land Rover was running in the morning rush traffic time.
Wendy lowered her head. Her toes was drawing circles on the mat. She stole a glance at Charlie, who was next to her, from time to time.
After he got up in the morning, he didn't say a word. It seemed that his anger hadn't completely disappeared.
Wendy even didn't dare to breathe heavily.
The situation now was similar to last night. She was treated violently by him on the bed, however, she did not dare to complain even if she was hurt...
The atmosphere in the car was down. Finally, the Land Rover stopped before the office building.
Wendy tilted her head to have a glance at him. Then, she lowered her head and unfastened the seat belt. She planned to leave silently, but before she could get off the car, someone pulled her back. "I'll see you in lunch time."
"What?" Wendy was a little confused.
Charlie squinted at her with his deep eyes and said in a gloomy tone, "Farr told me there is sales counter in the shopping mall where we could buy another necklace of the same brand." Wendy widened her eyes.
She knew what he meant, which surprised her a lot.
The emptiness feeling in her heart disappeared in an instant.
"Keep it safe this time!" Charlie sneered and threatened.
"Okay!" Wendy nodded with a bright smile in her eyes. She was afraid that he would not believe her, so she raised both her hands and added, "I swear!"
At noon, Charlie had just finished a meeting nearby and arrived at the office building earlier.
As soon as he parked the car, a familiar figure came to him, who was wearing a black windbreaker. The man raised his hand to knock on the window of his car.
Charlie narrowed his eyes inconspicuously. It was Felix Yam. The man asked, "Mr. Hogg?"
"Mr. Yam." Charlie nodded.
Felix was not surprised to see him. Last time at dinner, Ewan mentioned that Wendy's company had a cooperation with the Hogg's Group, so he did not think much about their relationship. Felix continued, "It's good to see you here. Can you help with passing something to Wendy?"
"Sure." Charlie's eyes were calm.
"Basically, I planned to go up and give it to her by myself. But I have something urgent to do now. I need to pack up and go back to New York immediately!" Felix shook his phone helplessly, and then took out something from his pocket, "Wendy lost it in my home that night of the day before yesterday. I'm sorry to be annoying!"
He slightly loosened her fingers, and under the sunshine, there was a glow of diamonds.
He held the top of the platinum necklace, and a small key pendant, which looked like a sunflower, hung down.
Charlie's pupils contracted.
