Chapter 119
She didn't come to a business meeting with her supervisor, and Charlie didn't tell the receptionist to let her in either. So the receptionist asked her, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No..." Wendy was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, if you don't have an appointment, I can't let you in. Please make an appointment before you come here!" The receptionist refused her politely, "Mr. Hogg's schedule is full. Even if you have an appointment, you may not see him. He is not available in coming three months."
"..." Wendy pursed her lips. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
She suddenly realized that it was not easy to meet him.
Wendy had no choice but to turn around and go out. When she was about to pass through the revolving door, she heard someone called her from behind, "Miss Lim!"
"Farr!" She turned around and saw Farr who was in a suit.
"Miss Lim, are you here to see Mr. Hogg?" Farr asked.
"Uh." Wendy nodded and answered, "I have something to talk with him, but I didn't make an appointment in advance..."
Farr's expression and voice seemed to be a little excited, "That's fine. I'll take you up!" They took the lift to the top floor, and a magnificent president's office came into her eyes.
Farr led her to the door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Then he pushed the door open and respectfully reported, "Mr. Hogg, you have a visitor!"
In front of a huge desk, Charlie lay prone on it. There were piled up documents on both sides of the table. The computer next to him showed the data of the stock market. There was a clear sound of pen scratching on the paper.
The suit jacket was put on the back of the chair. His shoulder slightly tilted because he was holding a pen. He lowered his head, looked very serious.
Hearing Farr's words, he didn't raise his head and only made a sound of "hmm".
Farr glanced at her, then nodded, stepped back and closed the door.
Wendy stood there for a while, and he didn't raise his head. She had to move forward until she was only a few steps away from the desk.
She noticed that besides the documents, there were a cup of cold coffee and a lunch box on the table, which should be the lunch that his secretary ordered for him.
Her eyes stopped on them for a while.
It was not a delicious meal but a bowl of noodles. She didn't know if it tasted bad. The chopsticks that put on the box hadn't been opened. It seemed that he hadn't eaten it at all, and the noodles were sticking together. Wendy calmed down and said, "Mr. Hogg..."
The pen in Charlie's hand stopped. He suddenly raised his head and his pupils contracted rapidly.
"Sorry, I just need a few minutes..." Wendy grabbed the strap of her bag in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Charlie leaned back.
Wendy took out the bank card from her bag and put it on the desk, "I received a text message yesterday. You have put 30,000 dollars in it..."
"Oh." Charlie put the pen into the pen cap, and some emotions flashed in his eyes. He said in a faint tone, "Maybe Farr forgot."
"Now that we have ended, I can't take your money anymore, so... I have to give this card back to you." Wendy said, put the card on the table and withdrew her hand.
"You come here just for this?" Charlie stared at her. "And..." Wendy swallowed.
Under his gaze, she took out two more things from her bag, "The key and the necklace..."
When she loosened her hand and let go of the necklace, she felt slightly wistful.
There seemed to be a trace of loss in Charlie's eyes, but he didn't show any more emotions.
When he spoke again, his voice sounded more indifferent, "I've never taken back what I sent out. If you don't want it, go out and turn right. There's a trash can!"
"Then you can deal with it as you like..." Wendy gently clenched her hands behind her. Charlie seemed to snort. Suddenly, he raised his arm, picked up the key pendant and directly threw it into the trash can next to him.
Just the same the situation as he sent it to her. The necklace dropped into the trash can with a bang.
Wendy widened her eyes, but she was not surprised. This was his way to deal with things.
Looking at the expensive necklace that had been treated like rubbish by him, she felt pity for the money, and the necklace as well. She couldn't pick it up like what she had done at that time, so she clenched her hands and said, "I have to go now."
Wendy finished, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wendy, don't you think about it twice?"
Wendy paused, raised her eyes and found that his deep eyes had never left her.
She knew what he meant.
Almost at the same time as he spoke, a sense of loss emerged up in her heart, accompanied with resistance.
Wendy straightened her back. She didn't say anything, but her silence and expression had showed her attitude.
When she turned around and arrived at the door, Charlie's calm voice sounded again, with a gloomy mood, "Wendy, I can also force you to stay with me via some methods as before."
Wendy had to stop.
"You..." She turned around and glared at him, gritting her teeth.
He was right, and he could do so.
As the saying goes, the poor should not intrigue against the rich. People like him could do everything they wanted. Previously, she was forced to take the initiative to beg him because she had no other choices...
She felt desperate again.
Wendy had nowhere to vent her anger. He suddenly added, "But I don't want to do that."
"..." She was stunned.
She was in a mess.
Suddenly, there were two knocking sounds on the door. One of the staff asked respectfully, "Mr. Hogg, the shareholders' meeting will begin soon!"
Wendy turned around and left quickly.
Time flies!
After work, Wendy came out of the office building. When she was about to cross the road, a jeep stopped beside her.
She sat in and said, "Felix, you don't have to come to pick me up. In fact, I am more accustomed to taking a bus..."
"I'm not busy these days, and Daniel wants to see you!" Felix smiled gently.
"Wendy, I miss you so much! I want to see you every day!" The little boy immediately poked her head out from behind. Wendy compromised.
When the car drove on the main road, she thought of something and couldn't help asking, "I haven't seen Ewan for a long time. Is there any news from him?"
In the past, Ewan always followed Felix wherever he went.
"He has been busy with his family issues," Felix explained.
Wendy nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Felix turned to her and said with a smile, "Wendy, next Saturday is your birthday. I'm free that day. Let's find a holiday resort to celebrate your birthday, shall we?"
Wendy was in a trance for a moment, and she almost forgot about it.
However, she did not agree. Instead, a worried look appeared on her face. "I'm afraid I can't go with you next week..."
