"You want to go with me?" Charlie was very surprised.
"Well..." Wendy avoided his sight.
Charlie raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. He took her with him when he went out.
In the office building, there were all white- collar workers with work tags. Wendy followed Charlie to the top floor and was settled on the sofa. He found her two books to pass the time, and then buried his head in front of his desk and got busy.
At about nine o'clock, someone knocked on the door of the office.
The woman who came in was the young secretary from last night. She was wearing professional clothes and was obviously stunned when she saw Wendy.
Wendy couldn't help but sit up straight and bit her lip lightly.
She'd been preoccupied last night after the secretary knocked on the door and left. The scenes that the successful boss and the young female subordinate were having sex in the office appeared in her mind.
In fact, she was more or less right.
The secretary did have feelings for Charlie. After all, she was young and promising. When she was deployed, it caused quite a stir in the branch, especially among girls. And the secretary was a recent graduate, it was easy for her to fell for Charlie.
Wendy had observed before that Charlie always went to work alone after arrived in Lim City, except for the scene she bumped into in the office last week.
The secretary did not think too much about it. Instead, she just acted. She felt that Charlie would need a woman in private eventually. If she worked hard, she might get a chance. That's why she had knocked on the door and delivered the chicken soup at night. Who would have thought...
"Mr. Hogg, these are the documents you need to see and sign!"
The secretary handed over the documents and asked, "Do you want black coffee? I'll cook it for you later!"
"Uh, I'll do it!"
Suddenly, a female voice sounded.
Both of them looked over at Wendy. Wendy was embarrassed, but she had to bite the bullet, "You like the coffee I made, don't you? The one with malt sugar in it..."
She bit her lips and held her breath nervously.
Charlie looked at her with his deep and dark eyes. When her palms were sweating, he finally pulled his lips and said, "Yes."
Wendy was relieved to have a step down and went to the tea room.
When she finished making coffee and returned to the office, the secretary also took the signed document and was ready to leave.
Wendy put the coffee cup on the table and called out, "Er, wait!"
The secretary looked back in confusion and saw Wendy walking to the sofa and picking up a bag next to her then handed it over.
"Here's your lunch box. I've already washed it."
"Thank you..." The secretary took the lunch box and left in a hurry.
Wendy looked at the office door closed, quietly releasing the lightly clenched fingers.
When she turned around, she found Charlie, who was sitting on a high-backed chair, helding a cup of coffee but didn't drink it, and looking at her from a distance. The light in his eyes was what she couldn't read.
Wendy felt a little hairy by being stared like this, "Why are you looking at me all the time?"
"I'm wondering, someone has learned how to be jealous!" Charlie said with a faint smile.
Her little tricks was seen through and she felt embarrassed all of sudden.
She turned her face away, walked back to the sofa, and sat down. At that time, she saw Charlie put down the pen in his hand and dial an internal number.
"Mr. Hogg!"
Soon, there was a respectful voice from the other side. Charlie glanced at her and said, "Director Price of the personnel department? Come to my office."
Five minutes later, the door of the office closed again.

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 😩...
