Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 535
"Are you pursuing Francis?" Hearing this surprising news, Wendy was almost choked by the water.
"That's right!" Tilly admitted, raising her chin.
Wendy, shocked and speechless, broke off a piece of the steamed bun to chew, trying to calm herself down.
Francis had seen Tilly naked after she was drunk, so Wendy thought Tilly, as a proud young lady, would feel displeased, and that was why she threw a tantrum at him. Francis kept avoiding her, for he could not stand up against her. However, the truth was not what she had expected...
So, it was this incident that brought them together.
Wendy, raising her chin, said deliberately, "A few days ago, you looked hurt when seeing other couples kissing or hugging! Also, you wondered how Charlie, whom you had liked for seven years, would fall in love with me in such a short time."
"Wendy, stop making fun of me!" Tilly blushed and stomped her feet in embarrassment. "Humph, if you say more, I might regret my previous choice and compete with you for Charlie!"
"I give up!" Wendy hastily raised her hand to surrender.
Though her face no longer burning hot, Tilly, avoiding any eye contact with Wendy, appeared shyer. "In fact, I didn't expect me to take a fancy to him. When we first met, he didn't impress me much. But when I was drunk at the bar, I felt that he was a gentleman. Later, I asked the hotel waiter, who told me that I was carried back by him all the way. I had drunk myself unconscious, so he helped me take off all my clothes and certainly saw me naked. However, he didn't take advantage of the situation to sleep with me. Instead, he slept on the sofa for a night and let me sleep on the bed. Since then, he becomes increasingly charming in my eyes..."
"Then you can't help falling in love with him!" Wendy said the unspoken words for her.
"Yes!" Tilly admitted, not bashful at all. "He drew and enthralled me. I want to be his girlfriend!"
"What have you done to win his heart?" Wendy asked curiously.
Tilly shrugged and told her, "I've called him whenever I was free. However, later on, he hardly answered my calls. So I began to send him lots of messages so that I can become part of his life!" Wendy finally knew who made the harassing phone call.
"Isn't it said that men have to take great efforts to get the person they love, but women achieve that easily? He is the only person who attracts me except for brother Charlie. I have the confidence and determination to make him my boyfriend!" Tilly snickered, clenching her fist to vow earnestly.
Wendy replied, "Uh, in spirit, I'm with you!"
After lunch, Wendy went back to the company and found that her colleagues in the office were all smiling. She curiously asked Bonnie next to her, "What's the good news? Why does everyone look so happy?" "What else can it be? In addition to a salary raise or a bonus, the only happy thing left will be a free feast!" Bonnie smiled and explained to her, "Not only people in our department but also all the employees in our company will go to have dinner together tonight, and our general manager will cover all the expenses. It can be considered as our company's welfare, once in a quarter!"
"Sister Wendy, you are so lucky that you can enjoy the feast as soon as you joined us!" Connie, who was next to them, echoed excitedly.
"Does everyone have to attend it?" Wendy asked hesitantly.
"Of course, none of us will miss it!" Connie nodded and said while holding her hand. "Sister Wendy, let's go there together after work. Relax. You can just focus on eating the nice dishes when you get there. No one will force you to drink because you are pregnant. Besides, Bonnie and I will take care of you!"
Upon hearing that, Wendy answered with a smile, "Okay."
She thought that as a newcomer, it would be better to keep a low profile and attend the company's group activities. If she didn't go there, her workmates and leaders would think she was much aloof. After all, she got along well with them. Thus, she decided to have the feast with them but would not go to the karaoke.
She was quite lucky-her working environment had been quite pleasant and relaxed when she was in Canada. Though most of her colleagues in the magazine were foreigners, it was easy for her to get along with them, and there were not many complicated intrigues in her office.
Bonnie, seeing her being busy editing something on her phone, asked with a smile, "Are you texting your boyfriend to report our activities?"
"Hey, not her boyfriend but her fiance!" Connie reminded her.
"Yes..." Wendy nodded her head with a red face.
She wanted to tell him not to come over after work to pick her up, for she had to join her company's activities. Also, she should dial home because her supper needed not to be prepared.
"Sister Wendy, do you have any pictures of your fiance on your phone? Or you can show pictures you took together. Let me see what he looks like please!"
"Well, I don't have any..." Wendy said the truth.
There were no Charlie's photos in her phone, and they had never taken any pictures together. When he just returned home from abroad, he had not retrieved his memory. At that time, they took Larry to visit a zoo and took a photo together there. Since then, the photo became Charlie's screen saver.
"Then can you describe him for me?" Connie couldn't help gossiping. "I'm really curious about the decent boyfriend you've talked about. For example, how tall is he?" "About 1.86 meters..." Wendy replied. "Is his figure very good?"
"Pretty good..."
"Double eyelids or single-fold eyelids?"
"Hooded eyes..."
Whenever he looked at me with those dark, hooded eyes, I would be helplessly absorbed in him as if I had fallen into a deep well.
"What about his nose? I suppose he must have a prominent nose."
"Right..."
"According to my analysis, he has fine features and must be a handsome man! But I don't know how good-looking he is. How does he compare with Mr. Hogg?" Connie suddenly came up with this question. Perhaps it was because she had seen Wendy be dragged into the men's room by Charlie.
Wendy thought for a moment and gave her a serious answer, "...both of them are very handsome!"
Her boyfriend was Charlie, so she did not lie, but Connie did not know it. Thus, she thought that Wendy's boyfriend was as attractive as Mr. Hogg.
Bonnie interrupted and said, "Okay, stop gossiping. Hurry up and finish your work. Otherwise, don't cry when you're too late to join the feast!" Hearing that, Connie obediently turned back to her seat and focused on her work, typing quickly.
In the evening, they arrived at the restaurant for dinner. It was in the largest VIP box upstairs, which was equipped with six or seven big tables, and everyone took their seats according to their departments.
All the people in the company had arrived, and they were chatting excitedly. However, it seemed that their general manager didn't intend to sit down. Instead, he stood there, glancing left and right. When the box's door was pushed open again, he suddenly rushed over there, as fast as lightning. "Mr. Hogg!" He called out.
