An office building in a bustling street.
The reception lady at the reception desk smiled every time Wendy looked over, but that lady still had no intention of inviting her in.
She couldn't help but look at her watch. She had been waiting for an entire hour.
Wendy actually came here yesterday, but that lady shut her out. She made an overseas phone call to the chief editor to report this, but still got an order that the person must be interviewed. If the interview didn't work, the anniversary issue would have been a waste of time.
Originally, her business trip was arranged in advance, and many people who needed to be interviewed had already made an appointment one by one. Only one person hadn't agreed yet. It was the founder and chairman of Price's Group.
Different from Mr. Hsu whom she had interviewed when she first returned home, this Mr. Price was a tough guy.
Wendy looked at her watch again and felt that the whole afternoon was going to be wasted here. She couldn't help but stand up from the sofa again and walked to the front desk. "Excuse me, can you ask again? Can Mr. Price find time to meet me?
"I'm sorry!" The lady at the front desk smiled.
Wendy frowned. When she was worried about what to do, she suddenly heard the lady shouting at her back, "Mr. Hogg!"
She turned around and saw a tall figure walking in.
It should be an official business, and it seemed that there was an appointment. The lady had already come out and prepared to guide him personally.
He still wore a black suit, which set off his strong figure, followed by Farr, who had met her in Hogg's Group last time.
"Miss Lim!" Farr also saw her and could not help but greet her.
Wendy smiled at Farr as a response.
Feeling the boss's sideways glance, Farr's hand, which was holding the briefcase, shook inexplicably. He closed his mouth and stopped talking, and silently retreated to the side.
Charlie put his hand into the pocket and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Er..." Wendy shrugged her shoulders. "I come here to see Chairman Price. He's a very important person we'd like to interview for our anniversary issue, but he has never agreed. I tried my best to persuade him, but he doesn't even want to see me..."
After hearing this, Charlie was silent for two seconds and asked her, "What if I can persuade him for you?"
"You?" Wendy was surprised.
"Yes." Charlie nodded with his thin lips moving. "If I help you, how would you thank me?"
Wendy frowned, looked at him with confusion and some vigilance, and said, "How do you want me to thank you..."
"It's very simple." Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What?" Wendy swallowed.
Charlie's deep and dark eyes swept over her nose bridge and fixed on her just closed lips. He said in a mischievous tone, "I want a kiss from you."
"..." Wendy widened her eyes.
There were many people coming and going in the office building hall, and she didn't expect that he would say something like this in public.
"Wait here!"
Without waiting for her response, Charlie suddenly said that to her and lifted his leg to leave.
Wendy came to her senses and shouted, "Wait..."

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 😩...
