Wendy was confused.
At first, she thought it would be a sales call, but the deep voice conning from the phone overturned her thought. Judging from the speaker's voice, it should be a middle-aged man.
"Yes, this is Wendy!" She held her cell phone and couldn't help asking, "Sorry, who is..."
The man replied, "This's Charlie's father."
"Ah!"
Wendy covered her mouth in time.
She was so shocked that she almost cried out.
Thinking that it was a phone call from Charlie's father, Wendy almost dropped her phone. She held her phone with two hands and paused for seconds before she finally regained her voice. "Er, is there anything..."
"Miss Lim, do you have time to have a meet with me? After work, I will arrange my secretary to pick you up."
Before Wendy could say anything, the phone had been hanging up. Although he said in a tone of inquiry, it was obvious that he had made a decision for her.
Hanging up the phone, it took a long time for Wendy to exhale out. At the peak of the rush hour after work, a Mercedes stopped at the door of a tea shop.
A secretary arranged by Charlie's father opened the door for Wendy. When she entered the tea-house, Wendy stopped. After tiding herself up and adjusting her breath, she followed the secretary in.
There were totally five floors in this tea shop, but there was no elevator. The decoration was very simple. The wooden steps made dull sounds when they stepped on.
On the third floor, they walked to the end and took a turn. They stopped at the door of the box. Knocking on the door, and pushing it open, the secretary nodded respectfully and said, "Chairman Hogg, Miss Lim has arrived."
A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit was sitting beside the rosewood window. He looked a few years older than Johnny. He was about 55 years old and looked very strong. There was not a trace of white hair on his head. In front of him was a cup of hot Biluochun tea.
He was resting with his eyes closed and did not open his eyes.
After reporting, the secretary went out.
When the door was closed, not only Wendy's palms but also her arms were clearly covered with sweat.
She didn't expect that Charlie's father would call her, and she didn't know why he wanted to meet her. Could it be that Charlie mentioned her in front of his father? But from the deep of her heart, she felt that things were not that simple.
Charlie's father didn't say anything, and Wendy didn't dare to move. She could only stand in the same place and observe secretly.
His facial features were somewhat similar to Charlie's, especially his cold expression now, which was exactly the same as Charlie's.
All of a sudden, Wendy recalled Charlie's words, "My father is serious and always loses his temper. I have seldom seen his smile since I was a child. Most of the time, he was blaming others..."
It is better to see once than hear a hundred times.
She licked her dry lips and became more and more nervous.
After an unknown period of time, Charlie's father finally opened his eyes, which were somewhat sharp. He stared at Wendy, as if he wanted to see her clearly from inside and outside. "Miss Lim?"
"I'm..." Wendy could not help but take a step forward.
Charlie's father nodded and asked calmly, "Miss Lim, are you also from Ice city?"
"Yes..."
"How old are you?"
"24..."
"What's your job?"
"I'm working as an employee in a financial company..."
Wendy did not dare to breathe heavily. He asked as if he was checking her identity, but she did not dare to neglect these questions at all. Charlie's father's tone was polite, but his eyes made her feel very uneasy, especially when he looked at her. When she just flexed her hands, she heard him asked again, "What do your parents do?"

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 😩...
