In the cafe, Wendy was restless.
The evening sun came in from the window, shining on the faces of Wendy and the man opposite her. Like a toothpaste advertisement on TV, the man smiled and showed his white teeth. Just by looking at him, Wendy felt stiff at the corners of her mouth.
When she got off work, before she could get out of the office building, she received a call from Donna.
Donna said that she would have dinner with her tonight. Without giving her a chance to refuse, the black BMW had already stopped at the side of the road.
Wendy had to get into the car. But she didn't expect that she was cheated into having a blind date. Donna had already found an excuse to leave, leaving her and the man opposite her staring at each other.
The day before yesterday, when Donna said this in the hospital, she still thought it was a joke...
Sure enough, the Hoggs were all actionists...
Wendy was very helpless, and it was not good to leave directly. This was the first time for her to have such an experience. She didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to hold on.
However, she had already secretly sent a message to Emily. She asked Emily to call her in more than ten minutes, and then took it as an excuse to leave. "Ms. Hogg's introduction just now was not comprehensive. My ancestral home is actually Shandong. I was lucky enough to work in Ms. Hogg's company abroad. Now I want to see if I can have a better development in China! But I have a residency card, if my future wife wants..."
Wendy listened silently and timely nodded, stirring the milk tea in her cup.
At this time, someone walked to the neighboring table. Wendy inexplicably felt a chill but she did not pay much attention to it, until—
"A cup of American black coffee please."
Wendy was shocked when she heard the familiar calm voice.
She turned her head and saw Charlie sitting on the chair next to the table. With a black windbreaker outside, he was wearing a hospital gown inside. His right calf was wrapped with splints, which made his movement a little slow.
"Isn't he supposed to be in the hospital? Why is he here?" Wendy thought.
The man opposite her asked, "Do you know him?" "Er..."
"Do you want to say hello?"
"No need!" Wendy immediately shook her head.
"What did I just say?" The man saw her confused expression and was not angry. He smiled and continued, "I see! I have a green card. If my future wife wants to live abroad in the future, I can go back with her! Miss Lim, where do you prefer?" "I don't want to go abroad..." Wendy said.
"That's good! It coincided with my thoughts, and I increasingly think that you are the one who suits me!" The man seemed to be very happy, and his eyes were bright. "How old are you this year?"
"24 "
"It's just right. We are fit for our age. If you are three years younger than me, there will be a generation gap between us!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang as the coffee cup was heavily placed on the table.
Wendy's breath paused and subconsciously looked at the other side.
If three years older caused a generation gap, then there would be two gaps between her and Charlie. Charlie was six years older then her.
The man on the opposite side was still talking endlessly, and the dark eyes from the side were glancing at her from time to time. Wendy held her mobile phone tightly. Why hadn't Emily called her yet!
She had to stand up. "Sorry, I've drunk too much milk tea. I'm going to the bathroom."
