In the evening, after work.
In a hotpot restaurant in the mall, Wendy couldn't put her attention on the boiling soup pot. She finally asked, "Emily, you and Dr. Chin... where did he take you that day? Did he do anything to you?"
After that day, she had been worried, but she didn't know how to ask it on the phone.
Emily was eating a fish ball, when she heard Wendy's words, she bit it hardly. "Humph! How dare he!"
Although she said so, there was obviously a suspicious blush on her face.
"Then what's the matter between you and him?" Wendy had to change the question and continued to ask uncertainly, "Is what Dr. Chin said true? You two, Er... have slept together?"
Emily swallowed the fish ball in her mouth and nodded with hesitation.
Seeing Wendy open her eyes wide, she scratched her head and explained, "In fact, it was an accident!"
Wendy took a sip of lemonade to calm hesrelf down.
It seemed that they were similar to her and Charlie. It was no wonder that they were best friends. They were all in the same sitiation in this aspect.
"Let me tell you, Simon is not a doctor who will save lives. He is a well-dressed beast! Don't be fooled by his appearance!" Emily said excitedly.
Wendy listened to her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But when she finished eating, she couldn't help saying, "Emily, don't be angry about what I'm going to say. Do you feel sorry for Boyd?"
Boyd was Emily's boyfriend, they started when they were still in college. At that time, Wendy devoted herself to Felix and they often showed off their love in front of her. In the year of the senior year, Boyd was sent to study abroad by the university, but it had no impact on their relationship. Although they had not met each other many times for so many years, their relationship was still the same as before.
Now that there was a Simon, Wendy couldn't help worrying about this couple...
"Don't mention that jerk again in the future!" Emily's face suddenly turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Wendy was surprised.
"Wendy! For so many years, I've been thrifty, and I almost gave all the money I've saved from working to him to study abroad, just for waiting for him to be transferred back to the domestic branch office to marry me, but he... But he actually found another woman behind my back!" In the end, Emily's eyes were already wet.
Wendy was shocked and doubted her own ears. "Emily, is there any misunderstanding..."
"I hoped so too!" Emily gave a wry smile. "But no. I caught him in bed! Fie didn't even tell me when he returned to China. Fie was accompanying that woman on a trip to Yunnan! They've been together for a long time, and that woman is the daughter of a high- ranking official. He depends on her for promotion. Compared to her, an ordinary person like me is nothing!"
"Emily..." Wendy felt distressed.
It had been a long time since her last trip to Yunnan, but Emily did not say a word. During this period, she had always been energetic and happy. It could be seen that she hid all the pain in her heart and bore it alone silently.
"I'm fine!" Emily wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. "I'm good at self- healing. I've already accepted this truth!"
Wendy could only hold her hand tightly to comfort her silently.
After dinner, the two of them left the mall directly. The setting sun outside hadn't completely faded.
They did not take a bus, but took a taxi. They would pass by Hogg's Group's building on their way back. Emily knew that too, so she pointed at the front and asked, "That's Hogg's Group building. Shall we get off the car and see if we can make a coincidence?"
"Emily!" Wendy frowned.
