Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 54

The manager nodded and took over the blade with both hands.

They were led to a workshop inside. There was a professional craftsman, who were wearing gloves and ready to deal with it.

The new hilt was indeed the same as her old one. But when she saw the new hilt in the chef's hand, she had a sense of resistance.

Especially when she remembered the man's big smile as he sent her the knife...

Wendy Lim walked over and said, "Forget it, no need."

"No need?" Charlie Hogg stood up from the sofa. He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "It was you who held it yesterday with an upset look as if you were dying."

Wendy Lim was awkward by his words.

The manager thought that she was worried about the new hilt would not match the blade, so he interrupted with a smile, "Miss, all the craftsmen here are top-notch. After putting on the new hilt, I can guarantee that it would be exactly the same as your original one."

That's why she didn't want it.

Even though they looked exactly the same, they were not the same things.

Wendy Lim took back the blade and insisted, "I really don't want to fix it. Thank you."

"Then buy a new one. The knives here are all from Switzerland. You can pick one that you like!" Charlie Hogg said, pulling her hand.

Wendy Lim was dragged to the counter by him, but she didn't even look at the knives.

She shook her head slightly and took her hand away. Then, she wrapped up the blade and put it back in her bag.

"There are various kinds of knives. Are there anyone that you like?"

Wendy Lim bit her lips and said in a soft but firm voice, "It's special for me."

Special for her.

Charlie Hogg considered these three words his mind. There was no change on his usually indifferent face, but his chin gradually became stiff.

Wendy Lim straightened the straps of her bad, looked showed an apologetic look to the manager and said to Charlie Hogg, "I'm going to be late. Let's go!"

When they came out of the shopping mall, she followed him closely.

Charlie Hogg bypassed the car and stopped at the door of driver's seat. He didn't unlock the car but stood there. His deep eyes were fixed on her and suddenly said, "Who gave you the broken knife?"

"..." Wendy Lim's breathing stopped for a second.

"I'm asking you." Charlie Hogg said again.

His tone did not change, but the lines of his eyebrows became sharper. Deterrence could be found in his eyes.

Wendy Lim wanted to tell him a friend sent her the knife. But when she spoke out the words, she changed, "It's none of your business..."

Charlie Hogg stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly swung the key and sat into the car.

Before she could open the door, the Land Rover had started, and then he backed the car.

Wendy Lim reacted quickly and dodged to aside. Next, the taillights of the car flashed, leaving only the exhaust gas to her.

She couldn't believe that she had been left at the entrance of the shopping mall.

The man's temper...

Wendy Lim looked at her watch, but it was too late for her to take a bus, so she had to take a taxi.

"Wendy Lim?"

She frowned because she was familiar with the voice...

Wendy Lim turned back and saw Yolanda Lim, who decked out in designer gear. Yolanda Lim also frowned and said with astonishment, "How can you be here?"

"I'm really sorry to disappoint you." The corners of Wendy Lim's mouth twitched.

"What's going on? You should be detained for 15 days!" Yolanda Lim was so angry that she shouted.

"Maybe God bless me." Wendy Lim put on a fake smile. Every time she met Yolanda Lim, she was always in a bad mood. She reached out one hand to call a taxi.
