She looked up and saw a strongly defined face and a pair of deep eyes.
There was still a faint smell of smoke in the air. Out of the corner of her eyes, Wendy Lim noticed
that there was a cigarette butt on the ground that had not been burned out. It seemed that it had
been thrown away in a hurry.
Charlie Hogg was standing two steps below Wendy Lim and holding her from below. So, half of her
body was hanging on him, and the ce where his arms held was her sensitive waist.
The skin on her waist touched his tight arms muscles, and touched smooth...
"Let me go!" Wendy Lim struggled.
Charlie Hogg seemed to have noticed her sensitive part and swallowed, "Is this your attitude toward
a man who helps you?"
Feeling his arms was tightening and touching her waist, Wendy Lim was shy and annoyed. "Let me
go! Let go of me..."
Charlie Hogg nced at her for a while and then released his hand indifferently.
Wendy Lim did not expect that he would suddenly let her go. She fell down on the stairs when she
was struggling. Her bent knees got injured and elbows were numb. She could see Charlie Hogg
was crushing the cigarette butt with his leather shoes. Then he bent over to pick it up and threw it
into the trash bin. He looked down at her with his hands behind his back. She couldn’t find any
warmth or tenderness in his eyes.
She had known that the man was cold-blooded. He could watch her cut her wrist without any
reaction.
When Wendy Lim wanted to stand up despite the pain. Charlie Hogg suddenly extended his hand to
her.
Wendy Lim tilted her head but did not avoid it. He asked in a deep voice, "What''s wrong with your
face?"
Only then did she notice that his fingers had brushed the long hair on her left face. When she came
to the hospital, she was afraid of her grandmother would worry about her, so she let her hair down
to cover her swollen face. At this moment, the swollen part and the red marks on her left face were
exposed to his eyes.
Charlie Hogg touched it with his fingertips. When he moved slightly, Wendy Lim could feel a little
pain and itch spreading from face to mind...
Before Wendy Lim could figure out where the itch came from, she heard he said with a slight
mockery, "Changed money with p again?"
"..." She felt it was more painful on her left face.
Her words touched her bottom line, and a wave of heat rushed to her forehead.
All these were owing to Charlie Hogg. If Wendy Lim had never met him, Ynda Lim would not be
jealous and not go to Ynda Lim''s house to make a scene. Then Johnny Lim would not be furious
at Wendy Lim, and she could get paid for the supermarket promotion...
"It’s none of your business!" Wendy Lim suddenly knocked off his hand and stepped back to keep
distance from him. She raised her head and said word by word, “Mr. Hogg, I hope we won’t see
each other again!"
Charlie Hogg silently watched as she disappeared into the corridor.
After a few minutes, he took out a cigarette and lit it. The smoke curled up. He narrowed his eyes.
There was a luxury cruise parked on the river, shining with lights on the river.
The corridor on the second floor of the cabin was covered with wool carpets. Footsteps would be
muffled by the carpets. Every suite here wasparable to a five-star hotel suite. Wendy Lim took
a turn with a clean sheet in her arms and stopped.
She knocked at the door and opened the door with the general room card.
It was very spacious inside, and the guest standing with his back facing the door.
It was a tall and strong man who was making a phone call, speaking out few words once in a while.
Wendy Lim walked close to him, and the clearly defined line of the man''s face gradually came into
her eyes. Even he was facing the sunlight, his deep eyes were shining brightly. She met the man
again.
