Instead of addressing her physical needs, she unscrewed the faucet, buried her head in the sink, and kept rinsing her face with cool water to make herself look more refreshed. She did not look up until her slightly red nose and eyes were normal.
She can't cry!
And she can't let Charlie worry about her anymore...
Wendy wiped the water off her face with a tissue and practiced a big smile on her face in front of the mirror.
When she came out of the bathroom, the people outside noticed that she had combed her hair again. Her hair was damp and stained with some water drops, but her eyes were particularly bright.
Wendy nodded at Donna, who was looking at her with concern in the eyes, and then said to the officer, "I'm ready!"
The officer nodded, and then turned around and led her inside.
They stopped in front of a room, and the officer told her, "There will be our staff present when you meet. The conversation is open. Attention, it's only 15 minutes. Hurry up!"
"Yes..." Wendy nodded.
The door was locked from the outside. After the guard opened the door, she saw Charlie inside.
The heart felt like it had been weighed down by a scale.
The room was very dark, with only a white light bulb hanging from the ceiling. Below it was an empty black table. Charlie sat on the chair with a frown. His eyes were deep and serene, and he was silent and quiet.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, he was looking up slowly.
He was wearing his usual black suit, and his tie was still tied meticulously, and there was not much expression on his face. He looked calm as if nothing had happened, and he seemed to be sitting on the high back chair in the office.
Seeing him like this, Wendy calmed down a lot.
She knew that no matter when and where her man was, he was the most dazzling one. Even at this moment, he might be trapped in a dilemma, but he was still calm and composed, and the calm aura around him was still very strong.
What she didn't know was that Charlie actually breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At first, he was worried that she would be so scared that her face was wet with tears. He didn't expect that she could be so calm.
Charlie silently raised the corner of his mouth.
Wendy pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him. She moved the corner of her mouth with all her strength. "Charlie..."
Just by calling his name, she almost choked with sobs.
The white light bulbs on the top of her head shone on her face from above. They were facing each other across the table and hadn't taken their eyes off each other since she entered the door.
Fifteen minutes...
She finally understood the value of time. It was only fifteen minutes!
Wendy raised her hand and stretched out across the table toward him.
Charlie's thick eyebrows knitted together. There seemed to be a moment of hesitation in his eyes. He picked up the hand under the table. At the same time, there was a clear sound of metal colliding. There was a cold pair of handcuffs between his wrists.
The silvery-white light was more glaring than the light on top of her head, piercing straight into her hearts.
Wendy held her breath and went forward to hook his hand.
Almost at the moment when they touched each other, they held each other tightly, so inseparable.
Charlie wrapped her fingers as if he was giving her strength. He twitched his lips and asked, "Are you scared?"
"No!" Wendy shook her head without hesitation.
