Charlie's pupils shrank as if he was trying to confirm if he had seen was true.
However, by the time he got closer, he had been back to normal.
After all, there were still staff from all departments of the company in the conference room watching. Charlie still maintained a meticulous leadership attitude. His thin lips twitched slightly, and he reached out symbolically. "Ms. Hogg!"
"Mr. Hogg, I'm sorry. You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Donna raised her eyebrows and held his hand. Following his eyes, she slightly leaned to one side with a smile and said, "These two people are Secretary Shaw of our company and Miss Lim of the market promotion department respectively."
Secretary Shaw immediately came forward and shook hands with Charlie.
Next, when it was Wendy's turn, there was not a slightest change on Charlie's face. However, when she retracted her hand, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed.
It hurt so much...
Wendy put her hand behind her back and felt that the bones of her fingers were almost crushed.
After secretly glancing at the fierceness hidden in Charlie's eyes, she shrank her shoulders and felt a chill down her spine.
Well, it's so terrible!
There were seats special for them on the conference table. She followed Donna and Secretary Shaw to sit down one by one. After the simple opening remarks, the blinds were closed, the projection cloth on the wall lit up, and the meeting officially began.
Charlie was still dressed in a black suit, with a tie carefully tied. He had a pen spinning in his hand and a cup of coffee next to him, but he never drank it.
Wendy had a few meetings with him and knew what he's like at work and how serious he was. But today, he seemed to be absent- minded. His deep eyes were always narrowed, and glanced at her from time to time.
Every time he glanced at her, she cringed subconsciously.
When it was his turn to speak, he held the pen and did not move, still maintaining that position. Gradually, everyone looked puzzled.
"Ahem!" Donna reminded.
Only then did Charlie get serious. He put his fist on his thin lips and coughed lightly. Then he turned his head to look at the projection cloth and moved his thin lips solemnly.
In the quiet of his voice stating the cooperation case, Wendy buried her head with a red face. Fortunately, no one was looking at her.
After more than two hours of meeting, because it was a cooperative investment case, they went on a field trip later. In the evening, naturally, there would be a dinner party scheduled. The large box was almost full of people and waiters were serving dishes.
When Wendy entered, Charlie was already sitting there, with two empty seats next to him.
She hesitantly walked over and thought that there should be no one paying attention to her.
When she was about to sit next to him, someone walked faster than her. Donna sat down first and was winking at her. She was stunned and could only pull another chair, while Charlie's face was already black.
During the dinner, Donna was sitting between them smiling all the time.
"Come on, everyone!" Donna put down her chopsticks and took the lead to stand up. "It's my honor to cooperate with your company, and I'm also very grateful for the host's kindness. So I'll bring up this first glass of wine as a toast to you all. Best luck with our case!"
"It should be us saying welcome!"
Charlie also pulled his lips, but his tone was meaningful. "Manager Wang is right. Welcome!"
While they were talking, everyone at the table stood up with a glass of wine in their hands.

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 😩...
