Wendy scoffs softly and didn’t take to heart what he says. She will only do this in front of him. In front of Duke, she has always been an adorable and obedient persona.
“What’s image? Is it edible? Also, If I can’t get married, isn’t there you who my parents had accepted?” Wendy said casually as she turns on the television and picks a channel that she likes.
But she says it for fun because there is no love between them and that’s why they will not be together in the future.
Eddie was elated when Wendy said those words. Fireworks were bursting all over his heart.
Though he knew that she was just saying it, he had a feeling that he still had a chance.
…
Wendy stays at Eddie’s villa for several days. She didn’t go anywhere after taking leave and just stays at Eddie’s place eating and drinking. What a way to live!
Eddie is different from his normal behavior. He has always been a workaholic but now he leaves punctually after work. On his way home he would take back some snacks for her.
Wendy isn’t sure if it was an illusion but Eddie gives her a very familiar feeling. It’s not the familiarity of the past but it was he resembles a person close to her. It made her dizzy.
But she can’t figure out who Eddie resembled.
This day, Wendy and Eddie are on the sofa watching a recent popular TV drama. As they are watching they commented on the actor’s and actress’s attire and acting skills. They were no experts and yet they said as though they were.
At this point, the cell phone rings but Wendy is watching an exciting portion and nudges Eddie, “answer the call, it’s too noisy”.
Eddie placed the popcorn down and took a paper napkin. He pulls the telephone which fell into the gaps. He taps Wendy’s shoulder, “Your call.”
“Who is it?” Wendy looks at the screen and then back to the television, “hello?”
“Wendy, where are you now? The company is in trouble!” The troubled voice of the assistant can be heard over the phone and he describes the issue.
Wendy stands up from the sofa, “What did you say?”
“Okay, I’ll go over now, wait for me!” Wendy hangs up the call and turns to look for her bag and bedroom slippers.
“What happened?” Eddie looks at her expression and feels that something important had happened and asks.
“Something happened at the office and I need to go back. Where are my shoes and bag?!” Wendy threw around the cushions in search of her handbag.
“…” Eddie calmly picks up her bag from the corner of the table and hands it to her. Thereafter he kicks over the slippers to her front and consoles her, “Don’t be anxious, I’ll send you back, I guarantee that you’ll be back in ten minutes.”
“Okay.” Wendy anxiously nods and keeps her things into the bag and wears the bedroom slippers to change her clothes.
Downstairs, Eddie is already waiting and Wendy quickly runs over, changes her shoes, and follows him out of the villa.
As Eddie says, he is able to send her back to the office within ten minutes. As the car stops, Wendy hurries to open the door and goes down and says, “Thanks for sending me back and thanks for these few days, when the opportunity arises, I’ll give you a nice treat!”
Treat…
After these few days, Eddie is unable to bear Wendy’s change of attitude. But he knows that she is in a hurry, nods, and sees her walking into the building.
