In the private room upstairs, after having several rounds of drinking, the only sound in the room was the clinking of glasses.
Farr, who was sitting in the chair, turned his eyes from time to time to look at Boss next to him, carefully observing his face.
As if he's still seeing the image he saw when he went upstairs. Wendy, Felix, and the little boy were like a harmonious family of three. Boss didn't say anything about it, but the veins on the back of his hand hadn't diminished so far.
Fle's with Boss at the dinner party tonight, and he used to drink most of the wine. Fie didn't expect that Boss would be the one who drank most. After a while, the waiter behind Boss had already served several rounds of wine.
This was completely a way of using alcohol to relieve his worries!
Farr sighed. It seemed that the relationship was not so easy to deal with!
After drinking another half a cup, Charlie suddenly got up. Although his footsteps were not too messy, his hands were covering his stomach. No wonder he would be like this, he had not eaten any food since he sat down. Farr said something to those men on the table and hurried to catch up with him with a towel.
Charlie went straight to the bathroom, with his hands on the sink. The cold water was flowing.
Farr handed the warm water he got from the waiter and asked, "Mr. Hogg, are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Charlie twitched his lips.
The door of the men's bathroom next to them was suddenly pushed open. There were footsteps approaching, followed by a crisp child's voice.
"Mr. Strange!"
Was he calling his boss?
Following the voice, Farr lowered his head and looked over. It was a little boy who had just reached his knees. It's Felix's son.
He hurriedly looked at Charlie again and saw that his face sank.
Toby walked to the shorter sink next to Charlie and turned on the tap to wash his hands. He looked at Charlie with pity on his face. "Well, are you defeated by my father now?"
Seeing that Boss's thin lips were tightened, Farr quickly said, "Ahem! Don't talk nonsense! Go back quickly if you're done, otherwise, your parents would be worried about you!"
"I didn't talk nonsense!" Toby tilted his head up as if to prove that his words were correct. He blinked his big eyes and continued, "Daddy and Wendy are going to get married, and they went to see my grandmother today!"
Charlie's hand, which was turning on the tap, froze.
Farr stood straight and didn't dare to look at Boss' expression. The sun in winter seemed to hang high.
After the meeting in the morning, Wendy came out of the company with her two colleagues. The department took a new project and they were going to talk to the boss of the other party about a partnership. However, the boss was not in his company at this time, but at the temple in the suburbs.
She had come to this temple many times, so she was familiar with it.
Actually, it's also been a long time since she's been here, and it seemed the last time was with Charlie...
The boss was an old man, who was a believer. On the first and the fifteenth day of every lunar month, he would stay here all day. He wouldn't leave until he had the meal served by the temple.
When Wendy and his colleagues arrived, they easily found the figure of the boss before the huge censer. However, to her surprise, Charlie was also there. It seemed that Charlie and the boss she's gonna talk to were familiar with each other. They were talking right now.
Fortunately, the man in charge of this project was not her, and she's just part of it. So her colleagues came forward to negotiate with the boss, and she was only following them silently.
When they walking from the front hall to the back hall, there was a long table at the door with a bamboo tube on it and a monk standing next to it.
"Mr. Hogg, don't you want to pick up a fortunetelling bamboo stick?" The boss asked with a smile. The beautiful secretary next to the boss also echoed, and her big eyes were flapping like butterflies. "Yes, Mr. Hogg, the fortune- telling bamboo stick here is particularly amazing! Many people deliberately came here to ask for it, especially for their future marriage! Mr. Hogg is so young but promising, why don't you get one and see what it says?"
