She didn't come to a business meeting with her supervisor, and Charlie didn't tell the receptionist to let her in either. So the receptionist asked her, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No..." Wendy was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, if you don't have an appointment, I can't let you in. Please make an appointment before you come here!" The receptionist refused her politely, "Mr. Hogg's schedule is full. Even if you have an appointment, you may not see him. He is not available in coming three months."
"..." Wendy pursed her lips.
She suddenly realized that it was not easy to meet him.
Wendy had no choice but to turn around and go out. When she was about to pass through the revolving door, she heard someone called her from behind, "Miss Lim!"
"Farr!" She turned around and saw Farr who was in a suit.
"Miss Lim, are you here to see Mr. Hogg?" Farr asked.
"Uh." Wendy nodded and answered, "I have something to talk with him, but I didn't make an appointment in advance..."
Farr's expression and voice seemed to be a little excited, "That's fine. I'll take you up!" They took the lift to the top floor, and a magnificent president's office came into her eyes.
Farr led her to the door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Then he pushed the door open and respectfully reported, "Mr. Hogg, you have a visitor!"
In front of a huge desk, Charlie lay prone on it. There were piled up documents on both sides of the table. The computer next to him showed the data of the stock market. There was a clear sound of pen scratching on the paper.
The suit jacket was put on the back of the chair. His shoulder slightly tilted because he was holding a pen. He lowered his head, looked very serious.
Hearing Farr's words, he didn't raise his head and only made a sound of "hmm".
Farr glanced at her, then nodded, stepped back and closed the door.
Wendy stood there for a while, and he didn't raise his head. She had to move forward until she was only a few steps away from the desk.
She noticed that besides the documents, there were a cup of cold coffee and a lunch box on the table, which should be the lunch that his secretary ordered for him.
Her eyes stopped on them for a while.
It was not a delicious meal but a bowl of noodles. She didn't know if it tasted bad. The chopsticks that put on the box hadn't been opened. It seemed that he hadn't eaten it at all, and the noodles were sticking together. Wendy calmed down and said, "Mr. Hogg..."
The pen in Charlie's hand stopped. He suddenly raised his head and his pupils contracted rapidly.
"Sorry, I just need a few minutes..." Wendy grabbed the strap of her bag in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Charlie leaned back.
Wendy took out the bank card from her bag and put it on the desk, "I received a text message yesterday. You have put 30,000 dollars in it..."
"Oh." Charlie put the pen into the pen cap, and some emotions flashed in his eyes. He said in a faint tone, "Maybe Farr forgot."
"Now that we have ended, I can't take your money anymore, so... I have to give this card back to you." Wendy said, put the card on the table and withdrew her hand.
"You come here just for this?" Charlie stared at her. "And..." Wendy swallowed.
Under his gaze, she took out two more things from her bag, "The key and the necklace..."
When she loosened her hand and let go of the necklace, she felt slightly wistful.
There seemed to be a trace of loss in Charlie's eyes, but he didn't show any more emotions.
When he spoke again, his voice sounded more indifferent, "I've never taken back what I sent out. If you don't want it, go out and turn right. There's a trash can!"
"Then you can deal with it as you like..." Wendy gently clenched her hands behind her. Charlie seemed to snort. Suddenly, he raised his arm, picked up the key pendant and directly threw it into the trash can next to him.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
