The following day, Wendy was awoken by the ringtone.
She reluctantly picked up the phone. But a scream of Judy came out from the other end of the line.
"What's going on? Judy, why are you screaming? You frightened me."
"What happened?" Wendy yawned to rub her eyes. Then she turned to the wall to check the time.
After Henson left last night, she purposely turned off the alarm, hoping to get a full sleep and wake up naturally.
But it was just 8:30 now.
Why Judy was so early today? When did she ever got up before 10 when she was free?
My dear god! What on earth happened to her?
"Gill didn't get the position. The school gave an official statement, saying that they made a mistake to have published the wrong name. And you are the right one who get the position. What a lame excuse! Hey, what do you think about it? I am so happy to see Gill's failure. Ha ha ha..."
At this time, Wendy finally came to her sense. She knew Henson did it for her.
"Oh?" Wendy said dryly.
"Just oh? That’s your only reaction to hear such good news? Why could you be so calm? I know you won't give a da*m shit about Gill. But when you really showing your outstanding composure, I really want to call you 'Big sister'."
Wendy sat up to comb the hair with her fingers and said with laugh, "My dear little girl, you will be shocked anymore after you come across many other big questions like me."
"Tch." Judy felt a little disappointed with her reaction. But then she laughed and asked, "Then tell me, where should we go this afternoon? You said you wanted to treat me with a big meal before. Then how about today? We could also celebrate it for you for you have regained your position."
Wendy smiled to Judy and said, "All right. You can choose whatever you want, even if they a little expensive."
"You mean it? Do you just win a prize at a lottery?"
"No. It just because that for the past four years, you have helped me a lot. Besides, you told me the good news and we definitely should celebrate for it."
"Alright then, we should... eat the steak in the restaurant near our school."
Wendy smiled and judged, "You are so easy to get satisfied."
"Yes, then 'deal' ?"
"Alright, 10: 30 PM. We could meet at the school gate."
After hanging up, Wendy called Henson.
A lazy voice came over the phone, "Hello."
"It's me."
"I know."
"Are… you busy?"
"No." said Henson. Then he suddenly realized that his tone may be a little cold. So he soon asked back, "Why did you get up so early today? Didn't you say that you would be awake until the noon last night?"
In the meeting room, all the mangers were all shocked to his words.
Last night...
Could it be that the CEO was dating someone?
Mr. Charles was now talking gently with someone. But how could other people know that he was furious at them just now.
Who was so powerful to change Mr. Charles's attitude?
They were so curious about this mysterious girl. If she could give Henson a good mood every day, they would surely find her and asked for her help with respect.
"Yes. But my roommate woke me up with a call."
"She must be your nemesis."
"Not at all. She just wanted to tell me the good news. Henson, thank you. I have got the news that I have regained the job. Thank you."
Henson smiled and teased her, "I have said many times that, if you really want to show your thanks, then do it with action not words."
"Like?"
After walking out of the meeting room, Henson said, "Like, marry me?"
Wendy blushed. "If you just want to joke around, then I will hang up now."
Henson laughed again and said to her, "But I’m not joking."
"Then I'm really going to hang up."
