Chapter 339


    Wendy had no choice but to hold the iPad. She bit her lips and said, "Remove thetro..."


    Upon hearing this, even Charlie himself didn''t notice that he raised his eyebrows.


    The waiter quickly brought up the pot. It was not a traditional charcoal fire, but an electromaic


    stove iid on the table. There was arge y pot on it, which was filled with fragrant chicken


    soup, with sliced onion and ginger floating in the soup. When the hot pot heated up and tumbled,


    the aroma drifted away at once.


    Thinly sliced fatty beef and vegetable were dipping into the hot pot.


    Because the restaurant chose a one-piece sofa, it''s inevitable that they were close to each other.


    Every time Wendy raised her hand, she felt she could touch Charlie''s.


    Wendy gripped her chopsticks and couldn''t help looking at Ryan sitting on the opposite. "Ryan, shall


    we switch seats?"


    "Sure!" Ryan happily agreed.


    Charlie frowned. They moved very quickly. They moved quickly and swapped positions before he


    could stop them.


    Wendy kept eating with her head down, trying not to look at the poker face on the opposite side.


    Ryan smiled as he added water to her cup and asked, "Wendy, you said on the phone that there


    were some changes, what changes?"


    "The person I want to interview today, Director Huang, suddenly had to fly to Australia for some


    urgent business, and I don''t know when he''ll be back..."


    "Then what''re you gonna do?" Ryan frowned.


    Wendy shook her head and said with a sigh, "I don''t know. I guess I''ll just have to wait..."


    "It okay. Things happen!" Ryanforted her with a smile. "I''m in no hurry to go back, so I can wait


    with you!"


    Charlie, who had been frowning, suddenly said, "If she doesn''t go back, will Mr. Ye wait too?"


    "Mr. Hogg is kidding, right? How could that be!" Ryan pushed up his sses.


    "Haha." Charlieughed ambiguously and said in a deep tone, "I just think that things happen, just


    as you said."


    Wendy felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so she interrupted and said, "Eat quickly, or the


    beef will be overcooked!"


    After the hotpot, the lights were already on outside without anyone noticing.


    Charlie took out a car key and nced at Wendy. "I''ll give you a ride."


    "Thank you, but no need. I''ve just ordered a car on the app. It''s bing more and more


    convenient to order a car online now!" Ryan smiled as he waved his phone. He then pointed at a


    taxi that had stopped by the side of the road. "Seems like it''s already here!"


    Charlie didn''t say much, and seemed to be happy to hear that.


    He continued to twitch his lips. "Wendy, get in the

    "Uh, no need..." Wendy shook her head.


    Wendy took half a step back as if she was afraid that she would be grabbed by him and shoved in


    the car. She ran over to Ryan then, "Ryan, I''ll go with you!"


    As the cab drove through the neon light, the driver in front listened to the radio with great interest.


    Aftering down from the overpass, Ryan suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Hogg drove


    a white Land Rover, didn''t he?"


    "Yes..." Wendy nodded and asked in confusion, "What''s wrong?"


    "It''s fine." Ryanughed as he shook his head.


    He turned his head and looked at the rearview mirror. The white Land Rover he saw in it had been


    following them all the time. He had been watching it for a long time, and it was clearly not like it''s


    just passing through.


    Ryan hesitated for a while before speaking, "Wendy, you and Mr. Hogg are more than just friends,


    aren''t you?"


    Upon hearing this, Wendy pursed her lips.


    In Canada, in addition to her daily contact with colleagues, she only had one close friend, Ryan, so


    she didn''t want to lie to him, but she didn''t want to talk about it again, so she just said. "It''s not


    important. It''s all over..."


    Ryan nodded. She didn''t want to talk about it, and he didn''t want to make it hard for her either.


    However, after hesitating for two seconds, he asked, "Mr. Hogg''s son is indeed very lovable. What


    about the child''s mother?"


    "Actually, I don''t know." Wendy shook her head and said nkly, "But Larry said that he didn''t have


    a mother, and I probably know that Charlie had Larry with another woman, a one- night stand or


    something like that!"


    "I see!" Ryan nodded. He then shook his head and smiled. He seemed to be thinking too much just


    a second ago.


    The taxi stopped under the apartment building. Wendy opened the door, got out of the car, and


    waved to the people inside with a smile. "Ryan, I''ll go up first. You go home and get some rest too,


    bye!"


    "Bye!" Ryan replied with a smile.


    Not far away, the white Land Rover stopped under the streetmp.


    The white Land Rover did not drive away until it was certain that the taxi had disappeared into the


    night and Wendy''s silhouette had appeared in one of the windows.


    In the evening, at Hogg''s Group.


    As soon as the meeting was over, Charlie opened the office door, took off his suit jacket, and took


    out his phone from his pocket. There was a missed call from Hogg''s Mansion.


    He walked to the French window and dialed back with one hand in his pocket.


    After the line was connected, it was quickly picked up, and Gilbert''s deep voice came, "You didn''t


    answer my call, are you in a meeting?"


    "Yes, it''s just over." Charlie pulled his lips. The sun was setting, and half of the sky was dyed red.


    The rose-colored light fell into his eyes. "Dad, what''s the matter?"


    "Come back for dinner tonight. You don''t have to bring Larry."


    Gilbert still didn''t know Larry was in the hospital, so he said so.


    Charlie narrowed his eyes. "What''s wrong? Don''t you miss your grandson?"


    "Don''t talk to me like that!" Gilbert immediately retorted. He paused for a while and then said, "It''s


    not like I don''t miss my grandson, but I called you mainly because I want to discuss your marriage


    to Madge! No matter what excuse you are going to find, this matter can no longer be dyed!"


    Charlie sneered, barely audible.


    Gilbert didn''t hear that. He said in a sterner tone, "Charlie, you''re not getting any younger, and


    Madge has been engaged to you for four years now. So, your wedding must be on the agenda as


    soon as possible!"


    Charlie listened in silence. In the end, he opened his thin lips and said, "Got it." Hanging up the


    phone, the setting sun was setting over his eyes and brow, but there was no warmth at all.


    Charlie took out a cigarette from his pocket. When it was lit by the lighter, the white smoke


    dispersed. He took a hard drag on his cigarette, and the nicotine went from his mouth to his


    stomach, and the light in his eyes grew colder and colder.


    "Knock! Knock! Knock!"


    There was a knock on the door, and then the office door was pushed open.


    Farr, dressed in a suit, came in and reported respectfully, "Miss Gray is here. She wants to see


    you!"


    Hearing this, Charlie leaned over. The smoke was around him, making it hard for his resolute and


    angr facial features to be seen clearly.


    Farr observed his boss''s expression and said, "Mr. Hogg, should I turned her down like before, or..."


    "Let her in," Charlie said, spitting out a puff of smoke.


    "Yes!" Farr responded immediately.
