"It's the least I could do. You helped Larry." Charlie put his hands in his pockets and said with a faint expression, "Miss Lim, if you change your mind, you can go to Hogg's Group to find me at any time. As long as it's not too much to ask, I'll do it!"
Wendy pursed her lips and didn't say anything in the end.
When she took two steps toward the hotel, her fingers were clenched into fists, but she still couldn't help but turn around again.
"Charlie, you..."
All of a sudden, the tall figure suddenly froze.
Wendy's breath seemed to be taken away by the night wind, and she felt a little regretful for her impulse.
Perhaps it's because he had this indifferent and distant tone, or he called her Miss Lim, or she hadn't seen him for four years, she thought she should say "how have you been"...
Her eyes were fixed on him, watching him stop and turn around.
In fact, it was only a few seconds, but she felt that it had been a long time. It was like a slow motion movie, frame by frame.
That pair of deep eyes slowly looked at her. While she was holding her breath, she heard him say in a doubtful tone. "Do we know each other?" Wendy seemed to have been severely knocked on the head by something.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide to look at him, unable to conceal her surprise and shock. She unconsciously pursed her lips, suspecting that he actually did it on purpose, or that she had misheard him. However, the doubt in his eyes was so real and clear.
Wendy took a step back.
"..." She shook her head, her chest seemed to be blocked by the night.
Back in the hotel, Wendy looked down through the window. There were so many cars on the street that the black Mercedes-Benz had long disappeared.
Her ears seemed to be filled with many small worms, which were buzzing with his last question. She seemed to be in a trance, and his deep eyes and the doubt at the bottom of his eyes emerged...
Wendy closed her eyes. After a while, when she opened them again, she took out her mobile phone.
The line was connected quickly. "Hey, Emily, it's
__ _ n
me...
After saying this, Wendy immediately took her mobile phone away.
Sure enough, the next second, Emily's roar could be heard from the other end of the line even it had not been amplified, causing the eardrums to buzz.
The next day, when it was still dark outside, Wendy opened her eyes. There was something in her heart that made her unable to sleep tight all night.
Lying on the comfortable bed in the hotel, she's counting the time until the morning light came in through the curtains bit by bit. Then she took off the quilt, got dressed, and went to the bathroom to take a shower and shuffle out the door. Then she went to the magazine company first.
At 10:30 a.m., Wendy arrived at the cafe where she had arranged to meet Emily.
When she pushed open the glass door and entered, she saw Emily, who was sitting next to the wall, looking forward to her. And Emily craned her neck from time to time to look outside.
"Wendy!"
As soon as Emily saw her, Emily almost jumped out of the chair.
Wendy also walked over quickly. They hadn't seen each other for four years, and held each other's hands tightly. It went without saying that they loved and missed each other very much.
Wendy noticed that Emily seemed to have changed a lot. Her shoulder-length short hair had grown long and was tucked in her ear very gently. However, Emily seemed to be thinner and her chin was a little sharp.
After hearing her words, Emily immediately said, "You're the skinny one.! Is the food there not to your liking? You're skinny!"
"I'm fine!" Wendy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's been so many years. You are so cruel! I think that you will never come back for the rest of your life! You only send me emails, with only two sentences in it. I know you're in Canada. I'm so jealous of you! But you don't seem to miss me at all!"
"Nonsense, I miss you the most..." Wendy said sincerely.
During the four years of living in Canada, in addition to unfamiliar surroundings and strange people, there were also friends and colleagues who got along well. But they were not like Emily, Emily and she had the same college bond, and she always missed the time together.
"Hmph, that's more like it!" Emily was just teasing her. Now that after hearing what Wendy said, she felt much better. "I'm not done with you yet. The first thing you've done after returning home is not coming to see me, and I've been waiting for you for the past two days! If you hadn't called me last night, I'm afraid I will go to the hotel to look for you..."
Before Emily could finish her sentence, she suddenly stopped.
Wendy looked over her shoulder, and the expression on her face instantly changed.
Wendy turned her head and saw a tall figure in a white coat rushing in, with a green surgical uniform inside. Obviously, he came out of the hospital and didn't have time to change.
Just like Emily, Wendy also felt that Simon had changed a lot as well.
