Chapter 19
"Charlie!" Yolanda Lim greeted happily. "I've been waiting for you here for a long time! I ordered a cup of black coffee for you. Let's go to the deck to get some fresh air after breakfast!"
Charlie Hogg frowned and stopped. But he continued to move when he saw a beautiful figure.
"Charlie, why did you sleep so early last night?"
"I felt unwell."
Wendy Lim looked up when she heard his voice.
Charlie Hogg, who sat down at the table, was also looking at her. Wendy Lim was reflected in his deep eyes.
Yolanda Lim noticed their eye contact, which made her unhappy. She pouted and said, "I've told my sister not to do this. It makes me feel bad to let my sister serve me, but she didn't agree with me. She said it was her work, so I had to let her do it!"
Wendy Lim sneered in her mind. She had gotten used to Yolanda Lim’s hypocrisy.
"We can't let her join us this time!" Yolanda Lim said with a regretful expression.
"Enjoy your meals." After serving the dishes, Wendy Lim could finally leave.
"Charlie, would you like to add some milk into your coffee?"
"Charlie, can I be your dancing partner at the dinner party tonight?"
Their voices behind Wendy Lim walked away. She looked back at them who were eating.
Not long ago, she had thought that they were a perfect match, but now she thought she was wrong.
Wendy Lim stood at a long table, and the wind from the river messed up her hair in the forehead.
The party was held on the deck. Magnolia shaped floor lamps lit up the whole cruise. Well- dressed people were drinking, chatting, and dancing. There was a sharp contrast when the hustle and bustle of the cruise compared with the quite opposite bund.
All people here were well-dressed except services staff like Wendy Lim. There were groups of people talking and drinking. However, Wendy Lim could see Charlie Hogg in the crowd at a glance. He was in a black suit with a natty pocket square, which was not flamboyant. He didn’t do up the suit buttons and wore no tie either.
She noticed that there were different people around him since the party began.
Charlie Hogg didn't talk much and occasionally nodded slightly. His assistant beside him was helping with most things.
Charlie Hogg had a clearly defined face with a cold expression. There was a powerful aura around him, which made him stand out. The light reflected in the river shone brightly in his eyes. Wendy Lim looked at him from the corner where she was standing and forgot to breathe for a moment.

She nearly attracted by Charlie Hogg!
Wendy Lim looked away and found that Yolanda Lim, who was a few steps away, was staring at her. Yolanda Lim seemed to be very dissatisfied with Wendy Lim’s gaze on Charlie Hogg.
Wendy Lim told herself to ignore her when Yolanda Lim came over. So when Yolanda Lim took a glass of cocktail from the tray in Wendy Lim’s hand and deliberately knocked her, causing all the cocktail on the tray to fall to the ground and smash, Wendy Lim only cleaned up the mess quietly.
"Do you let her treat you like this? You should get back at her."
A pair of bright leather shoes came into Wendy Lim’ s sight, and then a low voice came above her head.
Wendy Lim raised her head and saw Charlie Hogg was holding a glass of red wine and staring at her. A red agate was inlaid on his cufflink, which flickered on his wrist as he swirled the wine in his glass, attracting people's eyes.
Wendy Lim calmed herself down, picked up the tray, and stood up, "if a mad dog bit you, would you bite back?"
"..." Charlie Hogg choked.
The metaphor was really irrefutable.
Looking at her slender figure who turned around to get new cocktails, Charlie Hogg gave a faint smile in his face, but a big smile in his eyes.
Farr Chiang, who was standing next to Charlie Hogg, was shocked. Could his boss smile in such a lustful way?
