Hearing this, Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Well, you can leave now!"
As the door closed, he was left alone in the office. After smoking a cigarette slowly, he picked up his mobile phone.
On the other side, Wendy, who had received his phone call, just came out of the copy room, holding a stack of copy materials and sitting on the desk to sort it out.
"Watching movie again?"
After hearing what he said, she was surprised. Didn't they just watch a movie last night?
Charlie's calm voice sounded again. "We're going on a date, don't you understand?"
"I see..." Wendy had no choice but to reply meekly.
"I have to work overtime tonight, so we're going to watch a late night movie." Charlie said.
Wendy wanted to say that it was not necessary to watch a movie tonight, but she was afraid of making him unhappy, so she didn't say it out.
She continued to say "I see" meekly. Then she thought of something and said, "That's right. I'm going to Emily's home in the evening. When she moved away, she left two clothes in my home. I'm going to send them to her."
"Well, I'll go pick you up." "Got it..."
Hanging up the phone, she found that her colleagues next to her were looking at her with ambiguous eyes.
Wendy's face turned red and she hurriedly put down her mobile phone. She pretended to be working and continued to sort out the materials. After she wrote a few words on the paper, she was surprised to find that she was writing his name, Charlie.
She crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash can.
After getting off work in the evening, Wendy took the bus and went straight to her best friend, Emily's, home.
After entering the estate, she saw Emily standing downstairs wearing only a thin knitted jacket. She thought that she was waiting for her, but she saw a black Cayenne parked next to her. It seemed that she was talking to the driver inside, and she was saying something.
Soon, the Cayenne drove away with a loud noise.
The driver seemed to step hard on the gas pedal, passing her with a cool breeze.
Wendy hurriedly dodged to the side and hugged her shoulder. When the car passed by, she looked up, then she was stunned. The man sitting in the driver's had a pair of familiar and charming eyes...
Dr. Chin?
On the other side, Emily also saw her and waved her hands at her.
Wendy, who was surprised just now, asked uncertainly, "Emily, who were you talking to just now?"
"Nobody!" Emily's eyes flickered.
"It's the Cayenne that just left..." Wendy pointed in the direction of the gate of the community and said thoughtfully, "I think the driver looks like Dr. Chin, Charlie's friend... Do you know each other?"
"What are you talking about, Dr. Chin? I don't know him. It's cold outside. Let's go into the house!" Emily stepped forward to hold her arm and dragged her into the building.
As soon as they entered the elevator, she asked if she had brought her clothes, and Wendy didn't mention that man again after she was cut off.
Every time Wendy came to Emily's home, she would sigh with emotion. This department was so comfortable and more importantly, the rent was also very low. At this time, Emily would smile secretly next to her.
They ordered takeout. Wendy looked at her watch from time to time.
After learning the reason, Emily was surprised. "Are you and Mr. Hogg going to watch a movie later?"
"Yes!" Wendy nodded with a confused look. "I don't know why he wants to say a movie at such a late hour. It seems that it starts at half past eleven. I don't think there's any good movie to be on recently..."
"A movie at half past eleven o'clock?" Emily could not help but ask.

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 😩...
