Charlie Hogg crossed his legs and leaned back in the chair lazily. It could be seen from his position that he was the big shot among these people.
He held a cigarette with a long ash in his hand.
When he said this, he flicked the cigarette and put it back into his mouth. His deep eyes narrowed slightly because of the rising smoke. He looked more mature and charming in the light.
Wendy Lim took a deep breath.
The manager who pulled her was surprised, "Mr. Hogg. You know Wendy?"
"Eh" Charlie Hogg mumbled.
His voice was toneless but sounded ambiguous.
Wendy Lim didn't know if he said it on purpose. She opened her mouth. She couldn't deny it under the excited gaze of the manager.
"That's great! Wendy, please take the seat next to Mr. Hogg!" The manager pulled her all the way in and pushed her to seat near Charlie Hogg. Then he whispered to Wendy Lim, “Mr. Hogg is an important client of our company. Remember to please him!"
"I know..." Wendy Lim nodded.
Under the gaze of the manager, Wendy Lim took the wine bottle obediently, “Mr. Hogg, let me pour you a glass of wine."
Charlie Hogg squinted at her and stubbed out the cigarette.
When he took over the glass, he brushed over her hand with his slender and dry fingers, and then drank up in one swallow.
Cheers and applause mingled in the room. Wendy Lim withdrew her hand when she felt the heat from Charlie Hogg’s hand.
After they finished eating and drinking.
A group of people came out of the restaurant, and Wendy Lim walked in the rear.
She had also drunk some beer, but no more than three glasses in total. Most of the time, she poured wine for Charlie Hogg. For this reason, others did not ask her to drink more...

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 😩...
