"Uh...We are still not married yet..." Wendy felt a bit embarrassed.
She was still pregnant out of wedlock, so it was currently a little embarrassing for her to tell others this. In front of Bonnie and Little Nicole, She was not as confident as she was in front of Charlie.
"You're not married yet?" Connie said in surprise.
Bonnie's tone also became a little more serious. "Wendy, as your colleague I think I'd better give you some advice. After all, I've been through a lot in my life. You're pregnant before you get married with your boyfriend. You'd better get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble if someday your boyfriend suddenly dumps you. What if this happens?"
"We are not in a hurry to get married." Wendy hurriedly shook her head.
"Wendy, you'd better lose no time. Listen to my advice and think more about yourself!" Bonnie frowned and said earnestly, "The social atmosphere is currently very cruel now. Women are more likely to become the unlucky ones in marriage affairs. Men tend to be more merciless than women. If he dumps you someday, he will be able to easily find a new girlfriend. You will then be left in a wretched situation. It will be difficult for you and your kid to make a living. If your ex-boyfriend is a kind person, he might be willing to give you some monthly upbringing payment to raise your kid. But this seldom happens."
Wendy could feel from Bonnie's tone that she had no intention of sneering at her. She did not mean to joke at the relationship between Wendy and Charlie. Instead, she was sincerely taking care of Wendy. For a newcomer like her, Wendy felt deeply touched by Bonnie's enthusiasm.
Wendy was afraid that the misunderstanding would continue and deepen, so she just smiled and raised her hand to explain, "No, my fiance had proposed to me a long time ago!"
"Wow...This diamond ring is beautiful, and the diamond is also big!" When Little Nicole saw the diamond ring on Wendy's ring finger, she exclaimed in a low voice, and then touched the diamond cut surface with her finger. The bright light of diamond shone in her eyes. Little Nicole wanted to have a try, but she knew her own status. The marriage ring was not as interesting as an ordinary one, so she could only touch it.
When Bonnie heard this, her facial expression immediately relaxed a lot. "So your fiance has already proposed to you? That's good! He's a responsible person!"
"Yes!" Wendy nodded. At the mention of Charlie, her eyebrows and voice became tenderer, and her eyes seemed to be shining. "He is very kind to me and loves me very much. He has been looking forward to this baby for a long time. When I applied for this job, I was still not tested to be pregnant. He did not want me to work here while being pregnant. I insisted on it. It took him a long time to allow me so!"
Of course, Wendy would not tell them the exact process of persuading Charlie!
Upon hearing this, Bonnie immediately believed what Wendy had said. Her fiance did not care about money, and was not willing to let her come out to work. It seemed that he really cared very much about her!
"Sister Wendy, is your fiance handsome and has a good family background?" Little Nicole asked curiously. Noticing that Wendy's eyes were shining when she mentioned her fiance, Little Nicole naturally came to the conclusion that Wendy's fiance must be a very handsome man, and from the diamond ring on her finger, Little Nicole could tell that he must be from a rich family.
"Yes..." Wendy nodded pertinently.
Little Nicole held her smiling face with her hands and said movingly, "He must be very nice to you too! I'm so envious of you two!"
The corners of Wendy's lips curled up, and the smile was mixed with sweetness. Her eyes were smiling into a pair of crescent moons. She then said, "I'm glad to hear that. To become his fiancee is something lucky for me!"
When the lunch break was over, every department received a notice saying that there would be someone from the head office coming to hold a meeting in the afternoon.
The "head office" referred to the Hogg's Group. It was normal for employees of the Group and its subsidiaries to have interactions with each other in work. Wendy was not surprised to hear that. The conference was also to be attended by the senior managers, and as a new employee she did not have to attend it.
When she returned to the office, Wendy found that except for Bonnie and herself, the other three female colleagues in the department were all wearing makeup with small mirrors.
Wendy still remembered that, approximately four years ago, she had also come across something similar to this.
She frowned and quickly asked, "Bonnie, do you know who is coming from the head office?"

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 😩...
