Chapter 193
The next day, the sun rose.
When Wendy entered the yard to pick up firewood, she heard a faint cry from the gate.
She quickly walked out and opened the door. As expected, she saw Donna spinning around and shouting, "Oh my god, there are thieves here! Come and catch them!"
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Wendy came forward and asked nervously.
Donna pointed to the empty yard and said to her in a hurry, "My car is missing! Little Wendy, there are car thieves in the countryside!"
Wendy looked over and finally found something wrong. The black BMW stopped here last night was missing.
"Uh, auntie, don't worry!" Wendy was also a little confused and didn't know what to do. "The people in the village are very simple, and they won't do such a thing. I'll ask the neighbors for help to look for the car together..."
"Save your strength. Charlie drove it away!"
A male voice interrupted Wendy's words. It was Simon, who just walked out of the next room and yawned.
Donna seemed to have not expected this. She was surprised and asked, "Charlie? Did he drive away?" "Yes, he said he had something to deal with and left early in the morning." Simon nodded and stretched himself. "It seems that the sky was not bright, and I was still sleeping in a daze. I couldn't stop him!"
"Then what should we do?"
"He said that he would send someone to take us back to the city in the afternoon!"
Wendy was listening by the side. She gently clenched her fingers and thought, "Has Charlie left?"
"What's the matter that needs to be dealt with now? Didn't he call Mr. Chiang and postponed all the schedule when he came here with us?" Donna said. Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Wendy. "Little Wendy, what did you say to him last night?"
"I..." Wendy gasped.
Seeing her response, Donna knew better in her heart. She shook her head and said, "His psychological endurance is too bad!"
Wendy thought of last night, Charlie's eyes were very dark, and he said, "I watch you in." When she closed the door, she could still feel his hot gaze.
In the afternoon, the driver arranged by Charlie drove the black Bentley and parked at the gate of the courtyard.
Donna asked Wendy to go with them. Knowing that Wendy could not bear to part with her grandmother, they stayed until the evening before they went back to the city.
On the motor way, the road condition was good. Wendy gradually fell asleep. She had a dream. In the dream, she was trapped alone on a steep cliff. Under the cliff was a bottomless abyss. She could not move and was very scared.
At this time, Charlie appeared, standing a few meters away.
He held a cigarette in his hand, but did not go forward to her. She began to call his name, but he just stared at her from a distance.
Suddenly, a slender figure came over. She smiled with a dimple on her face. It was his fiancee. She intimately held Charlie's arm and said something. Then they turned and left step by step.
The stones under Wendy's feet were loose, and she fell straight down.
Charlie, no...
Wendy suddenly opened her eyes, and the environment in the car became clear in her sight. She gradually calmed down.
Donna, who was sitting next to her, smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
"Er..." Wendy was a little embarrassed.
She didn't feel so awkward until she saw Simon, who was sitting in the front seat, also sleeping soundly with his arms around his shoulders.
Donna still looked at her and said slowly, "Little Wendy, you kept calling Charlie's name in your dream just now."
"... I didn't keep shouting!" Wendy explained in embarrassment.
"It turned out that you've really dreamed about him?" Donna was amused by her silly look.
Wendy bit her lip in annoyance and did not dare to say a word, for fearing that she would say something wrong again.
"You think, therefore, you dream." Donna saw her lowering her head and stopped making fun of her. Instead, she looked out of the window and said meaningfully, "Many times, we think we have made
a choice, but we can't control our own feelings."
Monday, busy working day.
After lunch, Wendy just sat on the chair, and the supervisor came out of the office and went straight to her. "Wendy, you should get familiar with these documents first and go to have a meeting later."
"This is..." Wendy was stunned when she saw the document.
"Mr. Hogg mentioned that there was a subsidiary company's fund cooperation before. This is the relevant document, we have reached a consensus of preliminary cooperation!" The supervisor explained.
Wendy pursed her lips and remembered that it seemed to be the case, but she didn't expect that there was really a follow-up.
An hour later, the supervisor came up to her again and knocked on the desk.
"Come with me, let's go to Hogg's Group!"
"Okay."
When she stepped into Hogg's Group again, Wendy's mood didn't change much, but she couldn't help but clench her fists all the time.
To her surprise, even she herself could not understand herself thoroughly now.
She was looking forward to meeting Charlie, but she didn't want to see him at the same time.
The elevator went straight to the top floor, and they were led by the secretary to the conference room.
It was a department manager who took charge of the meeting. There was no sign of Charlie throughout the meeting. When the meeting was over, Wendy passed by the president's office and couldn't help looking in it, only to find that it was empty and no one was there.
And she found Farr when she came to Hogg's Group this time either.
Did he go on a business trip again?
Not long after Wendy and her supervisor entered the elevator, a secretary walked to the door of the office, holding the door handle and trying to close the door. However, as soon as he moved, he was sternly stopped by someone. "What are you doing!"
"Manager!" that secretary explained hurriedly, "I think Mr. Hogg hasn't come to work. The door of his office has been open, so..."
"That's Mr. Hogg's order!" The manager said grumpily and added, "Tell them not to close this door!"
"Yes!" The secretary replied immediately.
The next day, at the same time, Wendy came to the meeting with her supervisor again. The same as yesterday, it was still the department manager who received them. There were still no figures of Charlie and Farr on the top floor, and the president's office was empty and open.
When they came out of the building, Wendy's mobile phone rang.
It was Donna who called. She didn't know what was going on. She hesitated to pick it up and said, "Hello..."
"Wendy, what are you doing?" Donna asked with a smile.
"I just came out of a meeting with my leader, and now I am preparing to go back to the company," Wendy answered honestly. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Oh, I see!" Donna said flatly.
They chatted casually for a while, but it seemed that there was no point in Donna's words. Wendy had to take the initiative to ask, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
"Well." Donna seemed to be waiting for her to ask. After a pause, she said mysteriously, "It's about Charlie, do you want to know?"
"... Can I say no?" Wendy asked tentatively.
"Of course not!" Donna immediately said.
"..." Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She knew it would be like this.
She changed the phone to the other side of her ear and waited for Donna to continue. However, she did not expect that Donna's next words made her almost unable to hold the phone. "Charlie had a car accident."
