Chapter 436:Why Are You So Sad


    Joey''s sobbing gradually faded. And finally she fell into Duke''s arms, wrapped her arms around his


    neck, and looked at Duke affectionately, "Duke, I really like you. I have never stopped thinking about


    you for five years. Never stopped. Do you still like me?"


    As long as he is a normal man, he will be moved when seeing his beloved woman looking at him like


    this.


    Duke lowered his head slightly, and kissed Joey''s lips, using his actions to prove it.


    Fortunately, they are sitting in a courting chair, and the position is rtively off. No matter what they do,


    no one will think it is strange.


    But every time Duke kissed Joey, his heart would beat violently, heavily, suffocatingly, making him feel


    like he was doing something wrong.


    Joey was very active today, even more active than she was five years ago, and immediately erased the


    guilt in Duke''s heart and made him fascinated by the passionate kiss.


    Only then did Duke thoroughly realize that even though his heart and eyes were blinded, his body had


    not forgotten the girl who saved him.


    ——


    Since then, Wendy hasn''t seen Duke for half a month. As always, she could only see Duke on the 20th


    of every month. Even Bruce, who was often with him, had no idea about where Duke was.


    Wendy had no intention to work and sent a text message to Jamie who had recently returned to China


    and brought Bunny back. Wendy felt happy when she thought of that cute kid.


    She likes cute people or things. No one will dislike a kid as cute as Bunny.


    Rubbing her eyes, Wendy stretched tiredly.


    Having nced at the time, she found that it was six o''clock, so after a while she left thepany.


    Thepany was still in the hands of her father, so Wendy''s job was rtively easy. It took her five


    years to climb from the grassroots to the position of general manager. The employees in thepany


    are convinced of her.


    Wendy''s career has always been smooth, without much setbacks.


    If there is any setback, it is not about work, but about love.


    She was going to a dinner that night. Her father has just handed her the cooperation proposal with


    Lan''s Enterprise. She went there to negotiate the cooperation with Lan''s Enterprise.


    In fact, it was enough to send an assistant or secretary to negotiate, because the cooperation with


    Lan''s enterprise was not important, but after maintaining such a long cooperative rtionship, they still


    had to give Lan''s enterprise some respect.


    At about seven o''clock, Wendy arrived at the Star Hotel, told the waiter in the lobby who was invited,


    and followed the waiter into the elevator.


    Actually Wendy didn''t like the Lan family at all, but she knew that there is a clear distinction between


    business and privateness.


    "Hello, Mr Lan." Wendy was polite and thoughtful, with a smile on her face.


    "Isn''t this Wendy? You have grown up." James Lan was surprised for a moment, stretched out his hand


    and shook hands with Wendy with a smile on his face, and then arranged seats for everyone.


    Although James hadn''t seen Wendy for a long time, he always heard her father mention her and her


    impressive professional experience.


    In just five years, by virtue of her own ability, from a low-level employee to general manager, her ability


    should not be underestimated.


    They talked about cooperation first. At the beginning, James wanted to take advantage of Wendy''s


    young age and herck of experience to suppress her. As a result, Wendy was not fooled at all and


    handled it very well.


    Finally, they signed the contract before letting the waiter serve the food.


    Wendy nced at her watch and found that the conversation hassted for an hour. Fortunately, she


    had already called her home tonight so that the family wouldn''t have to wait for her to eat.


    After dinner, Wendy said goodbye to James and left the Star Hotel.


    She drove from the underground garage of the Star Hotel, but Wendy stopped the car involuntarily as


    she passed themercial street.


    A man and a woman are standing on the opposite road. The man is carrying a few brand-name bags in


    one hand and a sweet and gentle-looking woman in the other. Walking on the street, neither of them


    speaks, but their sweetness and happiness can be seen between their eyes.


    The sight pierced Wendy''s eyes deeply.


    With her hands on the steering wheel tightening violently, Wendy blinked vigorously when she saw this


    loving couple in the distance.

    Did she not know that Duke liked Joey, or that the person Duke had been waiting for was Joey, or that


    Duke''s favorite bride candidate was only Joey?


    But why is she still so sad when she knows everything?


    Quietly watching Duke and Joey walk away, after a long time, Wendy blinked her dry eyes and drove


    away from here, as if nothing had happened.


    In fact, Wendy always knew that no matter who Duke liked or was with, it didn''t matter to her, because


    she just had a secret love for Duke.


    ...


    Wendy''s secret love was very restrained and calm. She only told Joey, so only Joey knew.


    In other words, if she doesn''t say it herself, no one can tell.


    Since knowing that Joey came back, Wendy has rarely appeared in front of Duke again. Even the


    Garden, which she must go to on the 20th of every month, has never been visited again.


    It was not that she didn''t want to get close to Duke, she wanted to see him, even at a nce, but after


    all, she was not the person he liked. If she told the secret, their friendship would be broken.


    But things went against everyone''s wish.


    Jamie was injured when shooting Moon''s perfume advertisement. Wendy hurriedly ran to the hospital


    to visit him. It was lunch time when she got downstairs to the hospital, so she packed a meal and took it


    up. .


    By coincidence, she ran into Duke who came to the hospital with Joey.


    After a few words of greeting, Wendy left here under the pretext of going to the bathroom.


    Unfortunately, Joey also followed.


    "It''s been so long, Wendy, didn''t you miss me?" The smile on Joey''s face was as sweet as ever, but


    inexplicably, there was a touch of sullenness in those delicate and willful eyes.


    Wendy couldn''t tell people exactly, but she also had her own intuition and could vaguely feel Joey''s


    change.


    Joey''s strong sense of worldliness was no longer like the delicatedy Wendy had known before.


    "Sorry, we don''t seem to be acquaintances." Wendy gave her a cold look, then reached under the


    automatic sensor faucet and took a handful of water to wash her hands.


    The smile on Joey''s face froze, a trace of resentment shed in her eyes, and then she looked at


    Wendy and said sarcastically, "Did you see me and Dukee here and follow us shamelessly?"


    "You have a good imagination." Wendy''s mouth twitched, and she marveled at Joey''s imagination.


    If she knew she would meet them here, she would definitely take a detour.


    Joey snorted, folding her hands around her chest and looking at Wendy in a gesture of dering her


    sovereignty. "Don''t you think I don''t know your thoughts? Do you dare to say that you have no feelings


    for Duke?"


    "So what? Do you dare to tell him?" Wendy shook the water from her hand, treating Joey as an idiot.


    Wendy was always like this, and it was obvious that Joey knew that she liked Duke and would


    deliberately use this to make her unhappy.
