"How do I know?"
Using her as an excuse to do that.
He was truly… shameless.
Yes, she was very angry now.
"Two reasons for that. First, I had made a deal with Moishe. He could take advantage of my identity to advertise Elizabeth. As a return, Elizabeth will be the spokesperson of all of our products for free."
"Second, I really enjoy seeing your jealous face. After all, this's the only evidence to show that I am important to you."
"Now you can stop worrying about our relationship. In fact, Elizabeth and I did not know each other at all before."
"Why did two strange people have to spend a vocation together in Bali together?"
"You said you weren't jealous. Then how can you notice this news? Okay, since you care this so much, I can explain it to you now. In a word, I haven't gone to Bali with Elizabeth."
"I did often go to Bali to have a vacation alone. But I did not know Elizabeth at all before. I also knew from the news that she also took the same flight to Bali and lived in the same hotel with me."
"But from the beginning to the end, we hadn't met at all. It's just a coincidence."
Hearing Henson's explanation, Wendy knew the whole story about the rumors. But she still refused to admitted defeated and said, "I'm not jealous at all. This is my last explanation to you about your relationship with her. I just like reading news like others."
"Fine, you are not jealous. But I am jealous of the boy in your school. Even you don't like him, I am still unhappy for his confession to you, so… Should I ruin your face? Anyway, I still want you even if you're not pretty anymore."
Wendy rolled her eyes at him and got up. "I want to eat dinner. I'm starving now."
Henson laughed to called Donald back.
Donald have the table set and prepared dinner for them soon.
"Is Wendy's room ready?"
"Yes, Mr. Charles."
"Miss Evans, we have already cleaned up your room and prepare some clothes in your coatroom according to Mr. Charles's instructions.
"Besides, if you also need anything from your house in Big City, you can give me a list later. I will send someone to fetch them fro you."
"All my deposits and other certificates are in the drawer. They are my most important items. Please bring them to me." said Wendy after thinking for a while.
"You have deposits ?"
"Why? Can't poor people have some money?"
"You have deposits, so you can be seen a real poor man."
"I won't bother to argue with you on that. I need to change my clothes now."
"Okay."
Wendy was about to enter the old room in which she lived before on the first floor.
But Henson said unhurriedly to her, "Your room are now on the second floor."
"Why?"
"You can have a guess," Henson said as he walked upstairs first.
Wendy followed him upstairs, feeling depressed.
Henson finally stopped before a room next to. He then knocked on the door with a finger and said, "This is your room now."
Wendy pushed the door open and walked inside.
Henson was trying to follow her in, but Wendy turned around and said, "I want to change clothes now."
