Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 81

Their gaze met in the air. Wendy's confident look frightened Avril to turn around her head first.

"Just ignore them. That's the best way to deal with the the people you hate," said Joye.

Wendy smiled but said nothing.

She almost finishing her meal, her cell phone rang.

It was Bain.

 "Hello."

"Where are you?"

"I’m working."

"Part-time job again?" Bain said helplessly, "You just graduated. Why not give yourself a break? Wendy, you could have lived an easy life."

"But I like my fulfilling life."

"Will your life change dramatically after taking several days off?"

"Yes."

"You!" Bain could only laughed helplessly and asked, "Has Henson ever gone to find you over the past few days?"

Wendy was a little guilty.  Bain would definitely be furious if he knew she was working at Henson's company now.

"Bain. Don't worry. I can take care of that."

"How could I not care about your things? You are my sister." Bain said as he heaved a sigh, "I just want you to be safe and healthy. Do you know?"

"Yes, I know."

"Let's have dinner tonight."

"But I have got an appointment already tonight."

"Am I not your more important brother?"

Wendy hesitated to say, "But I'm afraid that your parents will..."

"They have their choices. But I have mine. I just want to have a dinner with my own sister. They can not accuse me of that."

"Um… Alright then."

After hanging up, Wendy let out a long sigh.

Looking at Wendy, Joye pretended normal and asked, "Get a date for tonight?"

Wendy nodded her head. She pursed her lips to make a slight smile, "Yep."

"You told Jimmy you have a boyfriend before. So it is true? He is the one upstairs?"

Wendy shooke her head to deny it quilckly. "Joye, you misunderstood our relationship. We're not a couple."

Joye fell into confusion. But Mr. Charles cared so much about Wendy.

Mr. Charles definitely liked Wendy.

Or she really guessed wrong?

After lunch, Wendy returned to the office.

Seeing Wendy going into the tpantry, Avril also followed her.

While paying attention to the door, She came near Wendy to ask unhappily, "Are you telling a lie? You said you didn't want to be a formal worker here, but you have been very close to Joye recently. We all know Joye is Mr. Charles's people now, so you are trying to make a good impression on her, right?"

Wendy‘s face was a little cold. She did not want to explain anything to Avril, so she said, "None of your business."

"But we're all colleagues. And we even went into this company at the same term. How could you be so bad when I am so honest to you?"

Wendy gave her a sarcastic smile.

She had not got the luck to grow up in a good environment.

But even so, she could still tell the difference between right and wrong.

Avril was evidently good at distorting truth.

If you would call Gill tactful, then you may find Avril pushy.

 Wendy gotting her water, she just wanted to leave.

I've already booked a table for us."

The waiter led them to a table near the window.

It was a Chinese restaurant, so he ordered some tea for her.

Wendy taking two sips, Bain suddenly asked, "Where're you working now? I went to the coffee shop before. But they said you had already resigned from it."

Wendy felt her mouth was a little dry. "I worked for a friend, who you don't know."

"You are so secretive now. Do you go to work at a bar again?" asked Bain.

Wendy shook her head. "No, I'm going to be a teacher soon in the school. I won't work there again in case of getting trouble."

Bain laughed, "You always know what's the right thing to do. That is your advantage."

He then took out a key to her.

Wendy frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"I bought you a house in the Oasis Community by your school. It is a graduation gift for you. Then you don't need to squeeze into the small staff dorms with others. I bought it with my own salary. So it has nothing to do with the Nicholson family."

Wendy pursed her lips. She then pushed the key back to Bain.

 "What do you mean? Do you want to reject me again?"

"Bain. I am healthy and working hard. You should believe me that I can buy the house myself one day."

Bain looked at Wendy with a little surprise.

He liked her unique stubbornness. But he also hoped she could sometimes accpeted his help.

"That is just a gift for your brother. You should take it."

Wendy firmly shook her head and explained, "But this gift is too expensive."

"Wendy, I won't force you accpet anything except this house. You can even pay back the money to me gradually after you get your salary. I just want you to have your own home after graduation. I want to give you a home."

He really wanted to give her a home. He did not want to be just her brother...

But now, he could not...
