"Uh?"
Wendy Lim was stunned.
She looked up and saw that he was in a calm look. It seemed that he was not telling a lie.
She did not expect that he would refuse the wedding directly, and she did not know what to say.
On that day in the Lim family, Charlie Hogg and Johnny Lim went to the study upstairs. In the study, in addition to talking about businesses, Johnny Lim did mention that Yolanda was a big girl now and she liked him. If he was keen on Yolanda as well, it could be a great marriage.
But he refused without thinking twice.
Seeing she lowered her head, Charlie Hogg asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Wendy Lim hesitated and said in a low voice, "You didn't tell Yolanda our relationship. Perhaps you and she..."
In the deadlock just now, Charlie Hogg did not make any comments, and he only said one sentence from beginning to end.
Thinking of the situation she was in at that time, Wendy Lim felt very embarrassed.
"Impossible!" Charlie Hogg frowned and interrupted her, He looked at her with his deep eyes, "You told me that you didn't want her to know our relationship!" "Uh..." It seemed so.
Wendy Lim blinked as if she remembered what she once said.
The suffocation that had been stuck in her heart for a few days disappeared.
Charlie Hogg took out a cigarette box from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter that produced a blue flame.
He took a drag on his cigarette, and the whites smoke slowly spread out.
Wendy Lim looked at him for a while, and then asked tentatively, "You really don't like Yolanda?"
"Won't repeat again." Charlie Hogg squinted.
Wendy Lim shut up obediently, but a little joy welled up in her heart.
Charlie Hogg held the cigarette with two fingers and took a drag on the cigarette slowly. He deliberately blew the smoke on her face every time until her eyes became blurred, "Still in your period?"
Wendy Lim nodded shyly. "...No!"
It's been a week, and her period ended.
"They're only three things that I want to do." Charlie Hogg put his hand on her back.
"What are they?" Wendy Lim blinked.
Charlie Hogg blew out a smoke ring, "Go home, have dinner and make love."
"..." Wendy Lim felt so shy that her ears were burning.
However, Charlie Hogg didn't intend to leave after a long time.
At this time, the phone on the desk rang, and the respectful female voice came out, "Mr. Hogg, the flight to Shanghai will depart at 9:50 p.m. I'll arrange the driver to pick you up in an hour!"
"Ok, got it." Charlie Hogg hung up.
"Are you... going on a business trip?" Wendy Lim was surprised.
"Yes." Charlie Hogg nodded.
"Where will you go?" Wendy Lim continued.
After that, she realized how idiotic the question was, but Charlie Hogg was very patient, "Shanghai."
"Then why did you ask me to come here..."
"What do you think?"
Wendy Lim blushed and couldn't look him in his eyes. She stuttered, "Don't... Don't you have to catch a flight later?"
"Well, except for Shanghai, I have to go to Beijing when I come back. It will take at least a week or ten days." Charlie Hogg looked at her with deep eyes, "I will miss you."
His words warmed Wendy Lim's heart.
Although he said in a very plain way and the meaning of these four words mostly meant he would miss her body, she still couldn't control her heartbeat, which became faster and faster.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Wendy Lim shrank and tried to stand up.
Charlie Hogg didn't let her go. He still pressed her on his thighs.
