"Have you seen Mr. Hogg? He is so handsome and virile!"
"He’s tall and strong. He also has a cold face... A man like him who gives other people an abstinent feeling is really charming. I want to be the Cinderella and he is the prince. We'll have many kids and live a happy life."
In the bustling bar, the bathroom had always been a place for staff to have a rest. You could heard lots of gossip there.
Wendy Lim knew who they were talking about. She saw a group of people coming into bar, including him. He stood out in a crowd and attracted the attention of waitresses.
Wendy Lim didn’t know his full name. She only noticed that Yolanda Lim called him Charlie. Now, she knew his surname was Hogg...
The Hogg family was a prominent family in Ice City. Their business occupied half of the city, and their social status was unshakable. Even the officials had to show respect to the people in the Hogg family. Now, the Hogg’s companies had flourished.
Wendy Lim thought that she had been entangled with such a man, and he even stretched his legs to touch her in this evening...
She bowed her head and touched her calf. No one noticed her. Here came more gossip. “Mr. Hogg is different from Mr. Chin. Although he will order a bar girl every time he comes, he never sleep with the girl! Do you think he has a problem with that?"
Wendy Lim thought of the passionate night and his violent kiss...
"Absolutely, he has no problem." She almost blurted out.
"If he has no problem with that, it can only be the reason of his orientation..." The woman looked at Wendy Lim and made a very bold guess, "Does he like men?"
"He doesn't like men either!" Wendy Lim confirmed.
Now, everyone turned to her in surprise.
Wendy Lim was so embarrassed and also realized her abnormal performance. She tried to explain but found that everyone was looking at her. She turned around and almost stumbled.
Charlie Hogg stood at the door with one hand in his pocket. The light was shining above his head, and he blew a ring of smoke. The white smoke floated over, accompanied by his uncertain voice, "I haven't expected that you know me so well."
"..." Wendy Lim felt more awkward and wanted to hit the wall with her head.
The protagonist of gossip appeared. Wendy Lim and other waitresses took advantage of the chaos and sneaked from the bathroom.
