What did that mean?
Wendy frowned. Even though it was a message, he wrote in a tone of command.
She put the phone back into her pocket. The supervisor next to her glanced at her and said, "Wendy, we ended early today. Do you want to go out for a walk tonight?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid not. I have something else to do. "Wendy shook her head. Thinking of the text message from Charlie, she added, "My friend is waiting for me. We plan to eat hot pot together tonight."
She emphasized the last sentence, and it was also the answer to Charlie's invitation.
The elevator soon arrived, and four of them walked out.
Not long after Wendy returned to the room, someone knocked on the door. She opened it and Daniel with a mushroom-shaped haircut rushed in. Then he took her hand and dragged her to the next door, "Wendy, come with me!"
After entering the next door, she was so surprised.
The room was elaborately decorated to create a warm atmosphere. The room was filled with balloons. There was a " Happy Birthday" made of balloons on the wall. A steaming hot pot was placed on the table. Felix was in a casual suit. He greeted her with a smile, "I planned to eat in the restaurant, but I think the atmosphere in the room is better!"
"It's great." Wendy nodded. She was really touched, "Did you make all these on your own?"
"Yes, I have blown up a few balloons! Wendy, do you like it?" The little boy asked excitedly.
Wendy touched his head and answered, "I like it very much, thank you!"
"You're welcome!" The little boy put on a shy look.
Felix led her to the table, pulled out the chair, and let her sit down. He picked up his son and put him on the chair next to her. Then, he sat down.
The hot pot was a takeaway from a restaurant. Each one had a small pot, which was using solidified alcohol to heat. The soup in the pot was boiling, and various ingredients were placed on the table. The good smell of beef stimulated their appetites.
When they were eating, Felix took out an exquisitely-wrapped box from behind, "Wendy, happy birthday."
"Thanks. What is this?" Wendy took it over.
"Open it and you'll know." Felix put on a bigger smile.
Wendy opened it and found a brand new Swiss knife inside.
Felix helped her tear off the outer package and said with a smile, "You told me that the previous knife was broken, so I give you a new one."
"Felix, thank you..." Wendy touched the handle of the knife.
This knife looked almost the same as her previous one, but the blade was new. Both of them were given by Felix, and this one could completely replace that one. However, when she was stroking the knife handle, she didn't get too much happiness.
The number of meal boxes on the table was gradually decreasing, and they almost ate all ingredients.
Felix looked at his son with a frown and reminded him, "Daniel, eat less. It's almost eight o'clock now. You can't digest them if you eat too much!"
"Uh-huh... I'm a growing boy!" The little boy put a piece of meat into his mouth and contradicted him.
Hearing that, Wendy looked at the electronic watch next to her. Indeed, it would be eight o'clock in five minutes.
She thought of the text message from Charlie in the evening. She hesitated for a few seconds and picked up her phone, "I'll make a call."
Felix nodded while stopping his son from eating more meat.
Wendy walked away and called Charlie, but it didn't get through. A female voice reminded her, "Sorry, the subscriber you dialed can't be connected or turned off..."
Wendy pursed her lips and walked back. Felix asked, "Wendy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Wendy shook her head.
