"It doesn't matter!" Wendy shook his head.
How could she blame her? Connie did this for her, and so she should thank her!
When the female colleague saw this, she laughed out, "Haha! You two cooperated so well! What great actors! Do you need me to applaud you? Shame on you! Is it interesting when so many people are watching?"
"You —" Connie was so furious that she stamped her feet with anger. She was on the verge of jumping on her to pull her hair.
Wendy hurriedly stopped her from going crazy and comforted her with a smile. "Connie, don't be angry. It's not easy to shut her up. I'll call him."
She was referring to Charlie.
Her words nearly made the female colleague laugh her teeth off. "Hum! You can call any man and tell us that he is Mr. Hogg. No one will believe this!"
Wendy didn't argue with her. She picked up the phone on the table. There was a missed call before Charlie's meeting, so she called back before the crowd and put him on the speaker.
Charlie answered quickly, and then there came his cool voice.
"Hey, Wendy."
The few simple words were enough for the others to recognize that it was Mr. Hugg.
After all, since they were employees in the subsidiary company under the Hogg's Group, they all knew the voice of Charlie, their big boss. He called Wendy intimately even before she said anything to him.
Lots of people were gathering in the cafeteria and their argument had attracted many people's attention. The majority of them did not believe Wendy. As she made the call, every on- looker was looking forward to seeing the result. However, the moment they heard Charlie's voice, they fell silent.
Wendy remained calm as if she had not seen the astonished crowd and called Charlie the same way as she always did. "Charlie, I'm in the company's canteen. I don't feel very comfortable. Can you come to pick me up?"
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the canteen was petrified and looked at her without blinking.
Wendy thought it would be over, but the people around had no intention of leaving -they doubted it and were eager to see what would happen. Therefore, she had to sit down and waited for Charlie while rubbing her phone screen.
About ten minutes later, a plink sound of the elevator came.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, a tall figure entered everyone's sight. His black handmade suit showed off his well-built body, and he fixed his eyes on Wendy as he walked over to her.
When he came near, Wendy stood up from her seat.
He looked nervous because she told him that she felt uncomfortable. But when he saw her rosy cheeks and that she was not in pain, he looked a little relieved. When he held her hand, he touched her lower abdomen through the clothes.
He did not ask why she would ask him to come. Instead, he looked at the people around him with a frown and asked in a deep voice, "Wendy, are you all right?"
"I'm fine..." Wendy blinked her eyes.

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 😩...
