Hearing her pitiful tone, Ben felt sorry for her. He sighed and turned to look at her. "Can you promise me a few things?" Wendy's eyes lit up. She nodded excitedly, "Okay, go ahead. I will promise you everything!" "I haven't said anything yet!"
"Just say it. I can promise you everything. Now think about it. Have I ever refused you?"
However, Ben didn't respond. He was organizing his words. How could he make her not angry and agree to his request easily?
"Are you ok? I'll go to work after lunch! "asked Wendy. Hearing that, Ben came to his senses and glared at her. "Even if you are going to work, you can do it tomorrow!"
"No... No... Don't... Don't... " Wendy shook her head.
"He has made a rule that I must go this afternoon, and I can't be late!" With a dark face, Ben said, "Then listen to him!"
"No, I'll listen to you. Do you have a problem? If there's no problem, I'll clean it up! "
With a frown, Ben said slowly, "Okay, then promise me a few things and I'll let you go!"
"Tell me, I will promise you!" Wendy blinked at him and said affirmatively.
Looking at her happy face, Ben said slowly, "First, don't work overtime. Eat on time and don't eat those snacks secretly!"
"Okay, no problem. But as for working overtime, well... It seems that there is no problem. He didn't mention working overtime to me when he said so. I will use a small trick to escape from working overtime. In short, the first rule is that I promise you, no problem! "
With a dark face, Ben looked at her and asked innocently, "Okay, you say the second!"
"Second, no matter how busy you are at work, you have to take medicine!"
"Well, although I don't like taking medicine, I will take it because my body is my own!"
"I'm afraid that you'll forget to take the medicine because you're too busy. I'm not with you! "
"Well, I see. You can continue!" Wendy said flatly.
After a moment's hesitation of him, Wendy smiled weirdly and said, "Don't hesitate, Ben. Let's get straight to the point. I know the point is now!" Ben looked at the weird smile on Wendy's face. He had a feeling that his mind was seen through.
"Third, you... You should behave yourself! "
Wendy frowned, "What do you mean by behaving myself? What do you mean? "
"That is, you have to keep a distance from Howard!" Staring at the smiling face of Wendy, Ben bit the bullet to say it out. However, just as he expected, Wendy looked at him with her eyes wide open.
Feeling a pang of guilt, Ben hurriedly explained, "I didn't say anything about you. I just want to say that Howard is too insidious, so you should stay away from him!"
"I didn't say anything!" Wendy calmly stared at his face. She said calmly, but her calm tone still made him feel a kind of inexplicable uneasiness. This cunning girl!
"Well, that's enough. The most important thing is that you haven't fully recovered yet. You must take care of yourself and have a good rest. If necessary, you can negotiate with Howard and require to get off work early!"
"Ben, you... If I get off work earlier alone, are there any rules? No, I won't discuss this with him! "
"Okay, but try your best!" Ben said awkwardly. He still didn't want her to go to work, but he just couldn't stand her pitiful look. He loved her so much!
"Ben..." Hearing Wendy's words, Ben looked at her uneasily.
"Don't you believe me?" She looked at him seriously. Ben directly denied, "No, I mean... The man is really insidious. Be careful! "
With a weird look on her face, Wendy stared at him and asked, "Are you serious?"
Feeling a little guilty, Ben quickly changed the topic, "Hey, aren't you hungry? What do you want to eat? "
Wendy ignored his words and kept staring at his face. Seeing this, he felt guilty and said, "What's wrong? Say it out!"
He pretended as if nothing had happened, and Wendy also looked away from his face as if nothing had happened. Now she finally understood why he was worried about her health and didn't let her go to work. He was worried about her and her health. In fact, it was not a good thing to say that he didn't trust her.
Ben frowned and looked at the strange look on her face. It seemed that she was thinking about something, like 'he didn't believe her. Humph... She would show him!'
"Ben, I'm not hungry now. I'm going to pack up and get ready for work!"
"No, tomorrow!" Said Ben. *
