Chapter 212


    Charlie''s pupils shrank as if he was trying to confirm if he had seen was true.


    However, by the time he got closer, he had been back to normal.


    After all, there were still staff from all departments of thepany in the conference room watching.


    Charlie still maintained a meticulous leadership attitude. His thin lips twitched slightly, and he


    reached out symbolically. "Ms. Hogg!"


    "Mr. Hogg, I''m sorry. You''ve been waiting for a long time, haven''t you?" Donna raised her eyebrows


    and held his hand. Following his eyes, she slightly leaned to one side with a smile and said, "These


    two people are Secretary Shaw of ourpany and Miss Lim of the market promotion department


    respectively."


    Secretary Shaw immediately came forward and shook hands with Charlie.


    Next, when it was Wendy''s turn, there was not a slightest change on Charlie''s face. However, when


    she retracted her hand, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed.


    It hurt so much...


    Wendy put her hand behind her back and felt that the bones of her fingers were almost crushed.


    After secretly ncing at the fierceness hidden in Charlie''s eyes, she shrank her shoulders and felt


    a chill down her spine.


    Well, it''s so terrible!


    There were seats special for them on the conference table. She followed Donna and Secretary


    Shaw to sit down one by one. After the simple opening remarks, the blinds were closed, the


    projection cloth on the wall lit up, and the meeting officially began.


    Charlie was still dressed in a ck suit, with a tie carefully tied. He had a pen spinning in his hand


    and a cup of coffee next to him, but he never drank it.


    Wendy had a few meetings with him and knew what he''s like at work and how serious he was. But


    today, he seemed to be absent- minded. His deep eyes were always narrowed, and nced at her


    from time to time.


    Every time he nced at her, she cringed subconsciously.


    When it was his turn to speak, he held the pen and did not move, still maintaining that position.


    Gradually, everyone looked puzzled.


    "Ahem!" Donna reminded.


    Only then did Charlie get serious. He put his fist on his thin lips and coughed lightly. Then he turned


    his head to look at the projection cloth and moved his thin lips solemnly.


    In the quiet of his voice stating the cooperation case, Wendy buried her head with a red face.


    Fortunately, no one was looking at her.


    After more than two hours of meeting, because it was a cooperative investment case, they went on


    a field tripter. In the evening, naturally, there would be a dinner party scheduled. Therge box


    was almost full of people and waiters were serving dishes.


    When Wendy entered, Charlie was already sitting there, with two empty seats next to him.


    She hesitantly walked over and thought that there should be no one paying attention to her.


    When she was about to sit next to him, someone walked faster than her. Donna sat down first and


    was winking at her. She was stunned and could only pull another chair, while Charlie''s face was


    already ck.


    During the dinner, Donna was sitting between them smiling all the time.


    "Come on, everyone!" Donna put down her chopsticks and took the lead to stand up. "It''s my honor


    to cooperate with yourpany, and I''m also very grateful for the host''s kindness. So I''ll bring up


    this first ss of wine as a toast to you all. Best luck with our case!"


    "It should be us saying wee!"


    Charlie also pulled his lips, but his tone was meaningful. "Manager Wang is right. Wee!"


    While they were talking, everyone at the table stood up with a ss of wine in their hands.


    Seeing this, Wendy also hurriedly grabbed her ss in front of her. The waiter poured a full ss of


    wine that the liquid in it spilled out when clinked the sses. She felt slightly drunk at the pungent


    smell. Donna was about to be prated by Charlie''s sword-like eyes.


    The second before Wendy''s ss touched her lips, Donna quickly reached out her hand and lied


    without turning a hair, "Wendy, you are allergic to alcohol, so just rece wine with tea!"


    "...Oh thank you!" Wendy replied in a daze.


    She put down the ss, picked up the teacup next to her, and drank more than half of the cup


    silently.


    After the clinking of sses, they were all sitting down, Charlie suddenly got up and said, "Sorry, I


    gotta pick up the phone!"


    Everyone nodded, people around the table were talking andughing. The tall figure had already


    walked to the door.


    "Hurry up!" Donna kicked Wendy under the table.


    Wendy stood up with a red face and said unnaturally, "Er, then I''ll go to the bathroom..."


    After walking out of the box, she looked around the corridor for a long time, but found no trace of


    Charlie. She clearly saw himing out with his mobile phone, but there was no one in the corridor.


    She said she was going to the bathroom just now on the table, and going back now was absolutely


    not a good idea, so she had to head to the bathroom. She still didn''t see him on the way, only


    waiters carrying the dishes.


    The bathroom was shared, with men''s room and women''s room on the left and right sides.


    As soon as Wendy approached, a strong arm stretched from the men''s room. She let out a low


    moan and was dragged into the bathroom stall with her back pressed against the door, and then


    she heard the sound of the door being locked.


    She raised her head in panic. Indeed, it was Charlie''s lowered face. His face with sharp facial


    features was close to her. It seemed that her eyshes could touch him if she blinked. He probably


    smoked just now.


    "Wendy, who give the guts to lie to me!"


    Charlie''s arm crossed the side of her head and his jaw muscles burst out.


    Wendy shrank and said timidly, "Well, I didn''t mean to..."


    "Don''t you dare say that!" Charlie red at her fiercely. "Why didn''t you tell me earlier that my aunt


    had bought yourpany? And this morning, when I called you, were you already on your way to


    Lim City?"


    Now he knew that Donna bought out herpany and deliberately kept a low profile to cover up.


    Moreover, he was afraid that it was not an idea on the spur of the moment, Donna must have


    nned it beforehand. Otherwise, Donna would not have brought up this case thest time she left.


    The key point was that Wendy, as an insider, did not tell him, and even hid it from him!


    No wonder she stuttered on the phone during the day, and even turned off the phone in the end!


    At that time, he really thought that her phone was powered off automatically and didn''t think much of


    it until he saw her in the conference room with Donna and instantly felt he was duped by them,


    which was really infuriating!


    Wendy could only repeat innocently, "I really didn''t mean to..."


    "You didn''t mean to?" Charlie snorted.


    "Yes!" Wendy nodded in a hurry, she was afraid that he would not believe her, so she betrayed


    Donna and confessed to him. "It was your aunt who didn''t allow me to tell you. She said if I dared to


    tell you, she would fire me!"


    "So you just listen to her?" Charlie said while grinding his teeth.


    Wendy bit her lips and whispered, "She is now my boss..."


    Charlie red at her as if he had been pissed off. The blue veins on his forehead were twitching


    faintly.

    Wendy was a little scared, but she was even more guilty. She reached out and gently pulled a small


    piece of cloth from his suit, and took the initiative to admit her mistake. "I''m sorry..."
