Chapter 269
After knocking, the door of the president''s office was pushed open.
Charlie buried his head in the document and didn''t raise his head. He thought it was the secretary
who came in to report until hearing a soft voice.
"Charlie!"
He looked up and saw Madge walking in. He frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
"I just passed by and came up to see you! Still working?" Madge came over with a smile, showing
two dimples on her face, "This is a toy I bought for Larry. Bring it to him when you go home!"
"There are a lot at home." Charlie twitched his lips.
"He''s just kid, loving to y. No matter how many are they, they''re not enough!" Madge put the
shopping bag on the table as if she didn''t hear it as a euphemism.
Charlie put down the pen in his hand and leaned back on the high-backed chair.
Madge looked at him with infatuation in her eyes. Then she mentioned in a casual way, "Charlie, my
father is back."
"Yes, I know." Charlie nodded.
"Looks like he''s not going to Berlin this time. The business there is almost done, so he doesn''t need
to run around. Besides, he is old, so my mother and I want him to stay at home more!" Madge
paused for a while and then said in a softer voice, "Charlie, my dad asked about our wedding
yesterday..."
Seeing that he remained silent, Madge kept smiling. "It doesn''t matter. I''ll do whatever you say!
Whenever you want, I can wait!"
He listened carefully, there was the sureness of it.
"Sunny, I have work to do. You go back first." Charlie leaned back on his desk.
"Fine!" Madge nodded and said softly, "Then don''t work too hard, I''ll see you again sometime!"
When the door of the office closed, Charlie raised his head from the document again and narrowed
his deep eyes slightly.
He gently tapped the ground with his feet, turned the high back chair to the window, and poured out
a cigarette from the cigarette box. He lit it up, and smoke swirled around him.
He nced at the shopping bag at the table and saw a toy box with cartoon printed on it.
Madge bought such a toy to Larry more than once, and she would buy it almost every once in a
while.
Four years ago, he had a car ident. He woke up and spent some time in the hospital recovering.
When he was discharged from the hospital, Gilbert took him back to the Hogg family and told him
that he had a son, who was born after a night with a woman outside. The woman had the same fate
as her mother, and she hemorrhaged to death after giving birth.
Charlie could tell that Madge was pushing him to marry her just now. Just like Gilbert said, Madge
could ept him and his child he had with another woman without anyints with a generous
and tolerant heart. Such a fiancee was indeed impable.
Four years had passed since they had officially engaged. By all rights, it was time for them to
consider marriage next.
However, he did not want to do that in his heart.
He was very resistant subconsciously, but it''s not clear why.
In the reception room, Wendy and Coral were taken to wait here.
The secretary was very polite and was making tea for them.
"Wendy, no, I''m really too nervous!" Coral suddenly stood up and rubbed her hands. "I''m getting a
stomachache at the thought of a close encounter with Mr. Hogg. Wait for me, I''ll go to the
bathroom!"
Wendy knew that Coral was not exaggerating, because her face turned pale. Wendy could tell Coral
was really nervous.
After Wendy nodded, Coral trotted to the bathroom.
The secretary who received them had not left yet. Wendy''s hands on her knees were clenched and
loosened again and again. Finally, she couldn''t hold her tougue, "Er, is it Mr. Hogg''s fiancee who
just entered?"
"Yes! Miss Gray, the daughter of the Gray family!" The secretary nodded.
After all, as a woman, she liked to gossip, so she could not help saying a few more words, "Our
office often talk about her. Mr. Hogg''s fiancee is really beautiful, and her clothes are always limited
and precious!"
"They... not married yet?" Wendy bit her lip and continued to ask.
"No!" The secretary shook her head. "It''s strange. Four years ago, Mr. Hogg held an engagement
ceremony with his fiancee. It''s very grand, but until now, they haven''t got married..."
After that, the secretary did not know what she saw and immediately stood straight.
"Mr. Hogg!"
Wendy looked up and saw Charlieing in with one hand in his pocket. He was wearing a ck
hand-made suit. She looked at him for a moment, and averted her eyes quickly, guiltily.
The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably strange. Fortunately, Coral came back in time.
Charlie went to the single sofa and sat down with his knees bent. "Can we begin?"
The interview was given a very short time, only 20 minutes. In order to save time, Wendy was
responsible for recording, so that she could have an excuse to lower her head all the way to the
screen, only focusing on typing.
Finally, it was over. She shut down theputer.
Coral obviously didn''t want to leave, but she didn''t dare to ask more. She got up reluctantly and
went out with Wendy.
When they were about to walk out of the reception room, Wendy suddenly heard a quiet voice
behind her.
"Miss Lim."

"...Uh?"
Wendy turned around in a daze.
Charlie was still sitting on the sofa. His long legs were crossed, exposing ck socks, which was
swaying at this time, and his voice rose slowly with his eyebrows at the same time. "If there''s
anything you want to ask, you can just ask me, no need to sneak around behind my back."
Sneak around...
Wendy almost bit her tongue.
Her face turned red again, and even reached her ears. She dragged Coral and ran to the elevator
as fast as she could.
Charlie looked at her red ears and lost in thought.
The next evening, Wendy remembered to go to the hotel to get the express mail.
As soon as she entered, she found that something seemed to have happened inside. A lot of
people gathered in front of the rest area. It was crowded. She didn''t know what they were watching
and noticed that there were no security guards.
"The young master of the Hogg family is getting angry!" Seeing that she was looking around,
someone next to her told her.
The young master of the Hogg family...
Larry? Wendy was surprised. While she was still unsure, she heard someone say, "It''s Mr. Hogg
who is lecturing his son! He looks terrifying, like a Hades!"
When she heard this, she couldn''t help but run over quickly.
After squeezing in from the crowd, she found that it was a mess inside.
The leisure area for guests had be a mess at this time. The vases on the decoration rack next
to them were all broken into pieces, and everything she saw was not in the right position, and there
was almost no ce for her to stand.
A stubborn little boy stood in the middle of the chaos, with a straight face and cheeks puffed up, just
like the time he got the shot at the hospital, like an angry little beast.
Standing in front of him was Charlie''s tall figure. His face was also tense and his eyes were cold.
There were a lot of people around, including the staff of the hotel, and Uncle Lee and Aunt Lee, who
were responsible for taking care of Larry, were also there. But no one dared to go forward or
breathe heavily, watching the father and son.
The air in the hall seemed to be colder.
Wendy didn''t understand what was going on. Someone squeezed in and she swayed.
Larry seemed to have seen her with his sharp eyes. He stunned for two seconds, then rushed
towards her.
She felt her knees warm and Larry jumped on them. His fair and tender face was lifted up, and his
big eyes, which were like ck grapes, turned red almost in an instant, tears falling down. His
crying made Wendy''s heart break into several pieces.
He choked with a soft voice, feeling so wronged. "You don''t like me anymore..."
