Chapter 92
Wendy left her office immediately when the lunch break began.
Coming out of the revolving door of the office building, she easily found the white Land Rover. Though the windshield, Wendy could vaguely see the outline of Charlie's face.
She trotted over quickly, opened the door, and got into the car.
Wendy fastened the seat belt, and asked with excitement, "Er, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Charlie didn't answer her. He just cast a glance at her.
His eyes were so dark, without any lights in them, as if they were dyed by black ink.
Wendy stunned for a few seconds. When she was about to open her mouth, he suddenly stepped on the gas pedal, and then the Land Rover ran into the traffic.
She looked at the street view outside the window along the way. They arrived at the shopping mall soon, but the Land Rover didn't stop, nor did it enter the underground parking lot. It just drove pass by the building.
From the rearview mirror, Wendy could see the building were getting farther and farther.
Wendy pointed at the building and said in surprise, "We are going to..."
However, Charlie seemed not to hear. He continued to stare at the front and concentrated on driving.
After driving for more than ten minutes, the Land Rover finally stopped on a bridge. In their view, the water in the river waved with the wind. Occasionally, a few yachts and ships sailed on it. Charlie pulled up the handbrake and stalled the car.
Without saying a word, he took out a cigarette, put it into his mouth and lit it. He lowered the window by half, and then the wind came into the car and took the white smoke away.
He was smoking silently in the same posture, and his expression remained unchanged, which made Wendy confused.
Wendy bit her lips and asked in a soft voice, "Charlie, aren't we going to buy a necklace?"
"No." Charlie replied in a plain tone.
His eyes swept from her top to toes, and then from her toes to her face. He opened the storage compartment on his right and took out something.
The small key pendant was fluttering in the wind, and its inlaid diamonds were shining.
"Why do you have it?" Wendy was surprised.
She stretched out her hand to take it. The feeling in her palm brought her great joy of finding it.
However, the joy did not last long, because Charlie's calm voice sounded again, "Felix said that you lost it at his home the night before yesterday, and asked me to help with passing it to you." Wendy's heart skipped a beat.
She lost it at Felix's home that night...
Wendy held the pendant in her hand and held her breath. She began to sweat.
The expression on Charlie's face didn't change, but his tone was slow enough to make her scared. Every word were full of deterrence. "You told me that you didn't answer my call because you had fallen asleep?"
"..." He found she had told a lie, which made Wendy's blood freeze.
"Are you going to tell me what you two did that night?" Charlie shook the half of the cigarette in his hand and leaned over.
"He was sick..." Wendy felt a little difficult to swallow. She prevaricated, "He had a fever and no one could take care of him that night, so I..."
"So you've been taking care of him for the whole night?"
If Charlie remembered correctly, she didn't answer the phone until the next morning.
At the moment when Wendy nodded, he slapped on the back of the chair behind him.
In a close distance, she saw clearly the coldness in Charlie's deep eyes. He grinned and said coldly, "He was indeed your old sweetheart. Wendy Lim, do you think I'm a fool? You spent a whole night with him, and now you tell me you two haven't done anything that night?"
"Don't..." When he pressed on her, Wendy shivered.
The collar of her clothes was torn open, and she felt pain on her skin. He was not kissing her, instead, he was biting.
It was the same as the last time. He treated her rudely after he got angry. It was not romantic at all. He was simply venting his anger. All the terrible memories rushed up in her head in an instant. Charlie felt that his eyelids twitched three times.
He was so angry that his eyes turned to red. The body under his palm began to tremble slightly. He looked down and found Wendy, who was confined in the seat by him, closed her eyes, and her eyelashes and lips were trembling.
She was really afraid of him...
Charlie swallowed, and his hand slowly made a fist.
The weight on Wendy's body suddenly disappeared. She immediately grasped her collar and hugged herself. She looked at him in disbelief and fear, like a poor animal.
"Get off the car!"
Charlie spoke these words coldly.
Wendy's legs were shivering, and she fell down from the car. Then, the Land Rover ran away.
Only the exhaust gas left in the wind. There was no one on the bridge. Occasionally, a few cars passed by quickly.
This was not the first time that he had left her on the road.
Wendy was used to his unpredictable moods. She wrapped herself in clothes and walked back slowly. After walking for a long time, a taxi stopped beside her, and she got on it. She lowered her head and clenched the small key pendant in her hand. There seemed to be a stone pressing on her heart, which made her hard to breath.
At the airport in the evening.
The airport was crowded all the time. People are carrying suitcases and rushed to here and there. Felix came back with his passport and boarding pass after checking in. Ewan and Wendy, who came to send him, were waiting at the yellow line. Wendy frowned and asked, "Felix, why do you leave so suddenly?"
"I have no choice. Military orders can not be disobeyed." Felix answered in a helpless tone.
"Felix, when will you come back?" Ewan asked.
"I'm not sure. I will come back when I'm free!" Felix replied in a low voice. When he looked at her, he said softly, "Wendy I'll come back with Daniel next time. Fie has been expected to see you for a long time!" "Okay." Thinking of the clever little boy, Wendy nodded and smiled.
Because there was still some time before the plane took off, they chatted for a while at the security checkpoint. When Ewan went to the bathroom, Felix suddenly saw someone behind Wendy and said, "Mr. Flogg, what a coincidence!" Wendy turned back when she heard Felix's words. Expertly, she saw Charlie in a suit and Farr followed.
Fler body involuntarily became tense. She couldn't help concentrating on Charlie.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Charlie opened her lips.
"Are you going on a business trip?" Felix asked with a smile.
"Well, I'll go to Beijing for two days. There's a project need to be discussed." Charlie nodded and looked down at his watch. Fie said in an indifferent and polite tone, "Sorry, I have to go now. I will be boarding soon."
After that, he went straight to the security check.
When he passed by Wendy, he did not look at her, as if he did not see her at all.
Wendy watched the tall figure gradually disappearing in her sight. She loosened her fingers and clenched again within a few seconds.
Fie was still angry...
