Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 538

Charlie paused before he opened the car door and turned around.

He saw two women. One was much older than him, and the other looked like a newly graduated college student. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

They looked at each other, and Connie said first, "Mr. Hogg, we are employees of the subcompany and in the same department with Wendy!"

"What's the matter?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.

He joined their gathering this time only because of Wendy. Other than subsidiaries' leaders who could have the chance to talk to him, he barely paid attention to other employees. Many female workers would rush to the washroom to reapply their makeup upon knowing his sudden arrival, but he did not bother to throw a glance at any one of them, even out of the corner of his eyes.

Bonnie pulled the reckless Connie back, nodded a greeting, and said respectfully, "Mr. Hogg, as employees, we all thank you for your generous dinner tonight, and then we have something to say to you!"

Hearing that they were Wendy's colleagues, Charlie remembered that they seemed to have been sitting next to Wendy during the dinner. Thus, he was a little more patient with them. He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Go ahead."

"Then we'll go straight to the point, Mr. Hogg!" Bonnie paused for a moment before she heaved a deep sigh of relief and said, "During the meal, both of us saw you pull Wendy into a private box!"

"Oh?!" Charlie was surprised.

It had never occurred to him that anyone would see them. Before he pulled Wendy into the box, he looked around and was sure that no one else but only two waiters serving the dishes was in the corridor. He didn't see them because they followed him there had been hiding at the corner all along.

"Yes, we saw you!" After all, Connie was young, so she couldn't help but say, "We saw you not only this time but also the last time when you came to a meeting. I saw you drag Wendy into the washroom! Mr. Hogg, do you know she is pregnant?"

"Uhm." Charlie gave a vague reply.

He did not deny it! Bonnie and Connie exchanged a knowing look-they seemed to have guessed it right.

Bonnie, who was older, chose her words with great care. "Besides that, she has a fiance. They get along well and are about to settle down!"

"After your lecture at our university, I regarded you as my idol. But still, Mr. Hogg, I have to say that you're wrong to do this!" Connie, like a student arguing something serious with her teacher, looked more serious than when she was working in the office. "I can prove that what Wendy said was true. She has a very good relationship with her finance! You must have seen the diamond ring on her hand that her fiance gave her. She wears the ring every day and never gets it off his finger! Besides, her fiance is from a decent family and is very handsome. He's not worse than you!"

Hearing this, Charlie raised his eyebrows high and said, "Have you seen each other before?"

Being asked like this, Connie felt a little guilty but soon calmed down, "No, but she has talked with us about him many times, so we are all clear what he is like-He is 1.86 meters tall with a good figure, hooded eyes, a prominent nose. I have asked her how her finance was when compared with you. She answered earnestly that he was as handsome as him!"

The more she talked, the more she felt that Wendy's finance was much like Mr. Hogg in front of her, but she didn't give it a second thought.

"She said that they had been looking forward to having a child for a long time. Her fiance loves him very much and is very good to her. The most important thing is that she loves him very much, very much!" Connie deliberately emphasized "very much" a few more times.

"What else did she say?" Not in a hurry, Charlie continued to ask, enjoying listening to her opinion about him.

In the shades of night, he stood there casually, his hands in his pockets. He didn't look annoyed at all. There was even a faint smile on his face — he was secretly pleased. People love praise, and he was no exception. Charlie was all ears at this time.

"Wendy also said that she was very lucky to meet her fiance!" Bonnie honestly reported what Wendy had told her.

Connie added with a very righteous tone, "Her eyes lit up whenever she mentioned her fiance! So, Mr. Hogg, I'm afraid that you have no chance to be with her. Please let Wendy go and stop pestering her. You can't force her to accept you by using your power in our company. There are so many women adoring you, but Wendy is soon going to marry her fiance and get the marriage certificate!"

"Right, Mr. Hogg. As the saying goes, wrecking one marriage is worse than knocking down ten temples!" Bonnie echoed, nodding.
