Chapter 239
Chapter 239
Wendy looked out through the blinds, the sun was dipping in the west, and in an hour she would be off work.
She lowered her head, took out her mobile phone from the drawer, and looked at the message she just sent on the screen.
"Charlie... are you busy?"
"Yes."
"What do you want for dinner? I'll cook for you when I get off work."
"Whatever."
Wendy looked at the simple reply above. Just a few words to her, which could even be considered perfunctory.
She bit her lips and sighed with her chin in her hands.
He was the one who asked her to tell the truth...
Wendy found that Charlie was getting more and more difficult.
The colleague next to her came over and gossiped. "Are you having a fight with your boyfriend?"
"No..." Wendy shook her head.
It's not exactly a fight, but she seemed to have made him unpleasant...
The colleague showed a look of seeing through Wendy already as if she was an expert in love. "Oh, it's normal! It's said that every man actually has a childish little boy living in his mind!"
Wendy expressed her consent. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
After glancing at the watch, Wendy turned off the computer and winked at her colleague next to her. Then she grabbed her bag and ran away with her waist bent.
To be honest, it was the first time that Wendy skipped work. Fortunately, she was about to get off work soon and there was nothing important at work. If her manager found out, she had asked her colleagues to help with a sloppy job and get over it.
After leaving the office building, Wendy stopped a taxi on the side of the road.
There was a flower shop next to her. She bit her lips and walked in.
A few minutes later, when she came out of shop, she held a bunch of roses in her arms. Of course, it couldn't compare with the huge bouquet he sent her before.
There was a red light on the zebra crossing, and many pedestrians were waiting by the roadside.
Probably at night, there were a few scattered stalls on the street outside the flower shop, selling small groceries or trinkets and such. Wendy took a look at them, and her eyes were fixed on something. "How much is this?"
The last second before the green light changed, Wendy also arrived at the opposite side of the road with flowers in her arms. The building of Hogg's Group was in front of her, and it was not yet officially off-duty. No one came out. Wendy looked up as if she could see an office on the top floor at a glance. She took out her mobile phone from her bag and called him.
The call was answered quickly, but no sound was made.
Wendy took the initiative to say, "Charlie, guess where I am now..."
"Where are you?"
"You walk by the window now..."
Although Charlie's tone was a little hard, it seemed that he did as she said. She could hear the sound of the high-backed chair sliding on the ground, and then footsteps. When he stopped, she waved at the top like a fool. "Charlie, did you see me?"
Although she couldn't see clearly what was going on up there, she knew that he would definitely see her.
Thinking of this, she waved even harder.
There was no sound over there, and Wendy's hand was a little sour. "Hello? Charlie... are you listening?"
There was still no response, but he didn't hang up. The phone's still on.
Just as she was wondering whether the signal was good or not, Charlie suddenly said in a calm voice, "Look to the right."
Then, the call was disconnected.
Wendy turned her head and was stunned. She saw a tall figure coming out of the building. He was wearing a black hand-made suit, showing his two extremely long legs.
She thought she'd create a little surprise for him, but it turned that he created it for her.
Charlie walked straight towards her, holding his mobile phone in his hand.
"Why did you skip work?"
Wendy didn't say anything and just looked at him with her eyes blinking.
Charlie noticed the bouquet in her arms and frowned. "Where did the roses come from?"
"Well, you guess!" Wendy said deliberately. A second before his face darkened, she put it into his arms and was a little shy. "I bought the flowers, for my boyfriend..."
Charlie raised his eyebrows silently. He definitely had never received flowers in his life.
He took out the car key from his trouser pocket, pulled her hand, and walked directly to the Land Rover parked on the side of the road. In the afternoon, he went out to handle some things. When he came back, he parked the car on the side of the road and no longer needed to go to the underground parking lot.
Wendy sat in and couldn't help asking, "Are you done with your work?"
"Yes." Charlie didn't look at her.
Wendy fastened the seat belt and put her hand into her pocket. Charlie didn't know what she had taken out, then Wendy hid it in her hand. Then, she reached out towards him and grabbed his large hand that were held on the steering wheel. Then, a pure silver ring was put on his slender fingers. It was very ordinary, but also very bright in the setting sun.
Looking at the silver ring on his finger, Charlie raised his eyebrows and asked, "You bought this, too?"
"Yes..." Wendy nodded, and her face was still red. She also stretched out her hand. There was also a pure silver ring on her finger, which was exactly the same as Charlie's. She explained shyly, "I bought these at a roadside stand. They didn't cost me much. Fifty bucks for two. It's for couples, and one for each of us..."
Charlie did not say anything. After starting the engine, he reached out his hand to hold her.
Wendy secretly looked at him and saw him all smiles at the corners of his eyes. He's not mad at her anymore.
And that made him happy?
She could not help but feel a little surprised. Could it be because she bought couple rings for them?
The white Land Rover quickly rushed into the traffic. When the red light came in front of them, Charlie bowed his head and kissed her hand wearing a ring.
In the cafe, Madge stirred the latte in her glass.
Yolanda, who asked her out and sat on the opposite side, had not stopped talking since she sat down. She said a lot of things about Wendy and Charlie.
Hearing that, Madge was in a bad mood and had to maintain an elegant smile on her face.
When Yolanda finally finished, Madge sighed and said, "Your sister is indeed difficult to handle."
"I've told you that she's difficult! Sunny, you're Charlie's legitimate fiancee, Wendy doesn't deserve to compete with you! You must get Charlie back and don't ever show mercy to Wendy!" Yolanda said hurriedly.
Madge smiled back, very temperamental, and very generous.
The phone rang. Madge picked it up and hung up. After hanging up, she said to Yolanda, "Yolanda, I have something important and have to go first! Thank you for telling me this!"
When Yolanda heard this, she immediately showed her loyalty and said, "Sunny, don't worry. I'm always on your side no matter what!"
"Yolanda, thank you." Madge seemed to be moved.
The luxury car drove into the yard of a villa. The driver opened the door respectfully. "Miss Lim, we're here!"
When Madge got off the car, the phone rang again. It was Linda who called, Linda called her just now but she hung up.
Madge walked into the villa quickly, and the servants came forward immediately. She changed her shoes and tossed her coat and bag to the servant as she walked inside. Then she went to the study on the second floor and knocked on the door.
Inside, Linda was sitting in front of a large desk, pressing her forehead. "Mom, why did you call me back in such a hurry?"
