Chapter 536


    Everyone looked toward the door, including Wendy.


    Charlie, wearing a ck suit, and Farr walked in with great strength, which reminded her of his


    vigorous look the first day she went to work.


    The general manager had already gone forward to greet them. How could the others sit still there?


    They stood up in unison and shouted in surprise and excitement, "Mr. Hogg!"


    "Just help yourselves!" Charlie walked in and said, "I''ll pay for all the bills today. You can order any


    drinks you want —no need to save the money for me. The Hogg''s Group has always been


    generous to its employees. You all deserve it!"

    Their general manager was also very generous every time he took them out to have dinner. But


    because he was their direct supervisor leader whom they had to deal with every day, they did not


    dare to order anything too expensive. But Charlie was different. Everyone present knew how


    openhanded he was. In this case, all employees here could enjoy themselves to the full without


    worries.


    The box suddenly burst into an uproar, much more lively than before.


    Waiters served various dishes one after another. Those white- cor workers, who always gave


    themselves airs, werepletely rxed at this time. Wendy''s department shared one table with


    the ounting department and the public rtions department, so most of them were girls.


    Nevertheless, they toasted each other more frequently than their male colleagues at the table next


    to them.


    Wendy only drank water-she was pregnant so that one would make her drink wine, as Connie said.


    She couldn''t help looking at Charlie, who sat at the main table two tables away before her. He must


    have driven here, for he declined others toasts on the ground of driving and let Farr drink on behalf


    of him. Halfway through the gathering, Farr was already in the pink.


    Wendy shook her head and thought, Mr. Chiang, unlucky man!


    After drinking a ss of water, she wanted to go to the bathroom, so she got up and said, "I need to


    go to the bathroom!"


    The moment she walked out of the box, Charlie stood up. He put his phone in front of him, acting as


    if he were going to pick up a phone call. "Sorry, everyone, I''m going out to answer a phone call!"


    Wendy dried her hands, came out of the bathroom and saw a tall figure leaning against the corridor.


    Charlie had taken off his suit jacket and tie, leaving only the white shirt inside. On his long legs, his


    pair of pants was straight as if it had just been ironed. When his dark eyes met hers, he smiled


    immediately.


    It was a faint smile. He raised his brows, eyes gleaming and the corner of his lips curving a little.


    Wendy looked around and asked nervously, "Why did youe out with me?"


    "You took a look at me, hinting me toe out, didn''t you?" Charlie said, putting his hands into his


    pants pocket.


    "I didn''t..." Wendy felt wronged.


    When she got closer, Charlie stood straight and stretched out his right hand toward her palm,


    saying, "Come here!"


    "No..." Wendy shook her head and did not give him her hand. Instead, she said worriedly, "Many


    colleagues are in the box nearby. If anyone identally sees us..."


    Seeing that she was not willing to cooperate, Charlie went straight to grab her hand.


    However, Wendy avoided him the moment he touched her. No matter what, she wouldn''t let him get


    his way.


    Anyone who saw them from behind would think that Charlie was forcing Wendy to do what she very


    felt reluctant to do.


    When they were still some distance away from the box, Charlie still could not hold her hand. Thus,


    he simply put his arm around her shoulder, turned around, and pushed open the door of the next


    box. As soon as they entered, he closed it.


    "Hey..."


    Wendy protested but was put on hisp. "I have to socialize with them once I''m back. It''s much


    better to stay in this quiet box with you!"


    "Charlie, why are you here again?" She asked with a frown.


    "A man always goes along with his wife," Charlie said, raising his eyebrows.


    Wendy had no choice but to change the topic. "Did you pick Larry up from the kindergarten?"


    "Sure. I went here after I sent him back to the vi." Charlie bent his knees, letting her slide closer to


    him to put all her weight on him. "He begged to go with me but I scolded him, so he chose to stay


    home finally."


    "Don''t be so harsh to him!" Wendy pursed her lips in disapproval after hearing this.


    ''TH be a loving father if you give birth to a daughter for me," Charlie said.


    Since Wendy was sitting on hisp, it was more convenient for him to touch her belly with his palm.


    He put his palm under her clothes, caressing her swollen belly admiringly to feel the baby''s


    movement. Wendy found that he liked to touch her belly very much and would touch it more than


    ten times a day, not including the number of touches after she fell asleep at night.


    "That''s unfair!" Wendy felt angry at the injustice of the situation for Larry.


    Charlie looked down at her and said slowly, "It''s okay for Larry, a boy - he will be our daughter''s big


    brother and will protect her. A little discipline will do him a world of good!"


    Wendy thought it was reasonable and nodded with a smile.


    "Why would Francise to you today?" Charlie asked casually as if he didn''t care.


    "Actually, it was Mr. Wace who asked him to meet me!" Wendy recalled what happened at noon


    and quickly told him, "He wanted me to be his granddaughter, so he sent Francis to ask my opinion.


    I was tter by this favor and immediately agreed before asking for your idea!"


    "Anyway, I would agree." Charlie nodded. He would never stop her from epting such a wonderful


    invitation.


    "There is one more thing that you must be surprised about!" Wendy''s eyes widened a little as she


    continued excitedly, "Tilly has fallen in love with Francis! And, she''s chasing him now!"


    As expected, Charlie was surprised at this news.


    "I don''t know if they have the fate of love. But if they be a couple, it will be good news all


    round!" Wendy muttered what was in her mind and looked up at him again. "Why did you barely eat


    just now?"


    "I don''t have an appetite," Charlie said with his mouth twitched. "What about you?"


    "Me too!" Wendy curled her lips andined to him. "Those dishes are spicy enough and have


    very little taste to me, so I had no appetite, either."


    Perhaps it was because the general manager was from the south, the dishes he ordered were a bit


    light. There was an old saying that women would prefer the sour vor if they carried a boy and


    spicy if it was a girl. After getting pregnant, she especially liked to eat spicy food. Thus, Aunt Lee


    would often add some chili to her meal at home.


    Wendy took a look at her watch and shouted in a low voice, "Oh, no! I have been out for ten


    minutes! I have to go back now!"


    With this, she poked his hand on her belly, indicating that he should withdraw it now.


    Charlie, though unwillingly, slowly took his hand out after being urged by her for a long time. But


    before doing that, he groped up to her breasts and rubbed them several times.


    Wendy blushed and walked out of the box before him.


    This time, Charlie didn''t force her to walk with him - he let her walk before him in small steps.


    However, as they left, neither of them noticed that two people were standing in astonishment not far


    away behind them. Actually, they had been there since Wendy and Charlie walked into the box.


    "Connie, let''s go back too!"
