Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 539
Bonnie steadied her and quickly reminded her. "Connie, stop joking around. Mr. Hogg is here!"
Connie quickly caught on, suddenly stood up straight with a start, and hastened to say, "Mr. Hogg, you misunderstood me! How can you be a despicable man? We failed to recognize you as Wendy's finance! As I said, you're my idol, the prince charming. How can you be such a lecher... Bah!"
"Mr. Hogg, please don't be angry. We come to you out of good intentions..." Bonnie also explained nervously.
Although they didn't tell her what had happened, Wendy had more or less guessed it.
They must have seen Charlie and her entering the box together and thought that Charlie harassed her. So they came to talk to him but found that he was actually her fiance! Thinking of this, she felt warm in her heart.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hogg won't mind about this!"
Wendy comforted them with a smile and gently pulled Charlie's firm hand, which held hers tightly. "Am I right?"
"Mm." Charlie said, his lips curled into a smile.
He was not displeased at all, so he would not blame them for this. With these two righteous workmates accompanying her, Charlie felt much more rest assured. He also understood why she liked this company and her colleagues.
Now that they all knew Charlie was her fiance, Wendy was a little shy and guilty, so she said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was afraid that everyone would treat me differently once they knew it. You see, I just want to be an ordinary employee like everyone else..."
"Wendy, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about this!" Bonnie said.
Connie repeatedly nodded and promised, "Uh-huh! I'll keep it a secret! If you want to meet each other in the company or on other occasions, just let me know, and I'll be a lookout for you!"
Just now, the more she described the appearance of Wendy's fiance, the more she felt he was very similar to Mr. Hogg. It turned out that they were the same person. Before this, they would never connect Wendy and Mr. Hogg together. But now, they could easily see the love between this couple even if they just stood together in silence.
They were ideally
suited!
What a perfect match!
Wendy was very grateful to their tolerance and understanding.
At this time, Charlie placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, lowered a little, and reminded softly, "It's late. You're pregnant and need to go home early to rest."
"I know..." Wendy nodded her head shyly.
While looking up, she saw Bonnie and Connie staring at them attentively as if they were watching a touching movie of love.
They watched Charlie open the car door, fasten the seatbelt, and closed the door for her. Then he walked around before the car and took his driver's seat. Under the neon lights, Mr. Hogg appeared quite gentle - he looked quite different from his usual resolute and indifferent image.
The white Land Rover gradually merged into the neon lights and disappeared from their sight.
"Bonnie, pinch me. Am I dreaming?"
Bonnie did not hesitate-she raised her hand and pinched her hard. Suddenly, Little Zhao cried out with a grin, "Ouch, it hurts!"
However, after the pain, she looked at the bustling streets and sighed. "Wendy's fiance is Mr. Hogg! She is a winner of life!"
After hearing that, Bonnie also nodded seriously.
The next day, as soon as Wendy arrived at the company, Bonnie and Connie moved to her with their chairs. Bonnie maintained her composure, but Connie made a heart shape with her arms, saying, "Wendy, ever since you came to the company, you're satisfied with my performance, aren't you?"
"Yes..." Wendy found her question both funny and annoying.
"That's good, that's good!" Connie felt relieved.
Wendy had to say seriously, "Don't be like this. I will not know how to handle the situation. Only you two know it so that you can treat me as like before!"
"Is that okay?" Connie asked excitedly.
"Sure!" Wendy nodded.
Connie grinned all of a sudden. Then she raised to see the other busy colleagues in the office and muttered while turning her head left and right, "Alas, what should I do? I'm really a little nervous when keeping such a big secret to myself!"
"Actually, other than the baby I'm carrying, we have a son!" Wendy said, blinking her eyes.
Since Bonnie and Connie
could criticize Charlie for her, she regarded them as her friends and had no intention of hiding anything from them.
"Oh, my God!" Connie leaned back in her chair.
She wanted so much to shout out in the corridor, telling others that their big boss's future wife was sitting next to her!
She felt it so hard to suppress her desire for gossip!
After the lunch break, Wendy found that Connie's work processed slowly - she had finished none of the small pile of financial statements after more than half an hour! Besides, she was busying playing with her phone hidden in her drawer, texting someone.
Wendy, seeing this, could not help shaking her head. She then got up and went to the bathroom.
When she came back and sat down, she found that Connie took out her phone again to type something.
After a while, Wendy returned with a cup of hot water from the pantry room. Connie took up her phone to type again upon seeing her. Since she had done so quite a few times, Wendy thought there must be something fishy about it. Then, when she lowered her head to type on her phone again, Wendy abruptly leaned over to see what she was doing.
"Connie, what are you doing with your phone?"
Connie was so scared that she dropped her phone onto the ground. She shook her head and stammered, "Nothing, nothing!"
Wendy made a guess and made sure of it when seeing the guilty look on her face. Quickly, she reached out, picked up Connie's phone, and saw the message that she was editing.
And she saw Charlie's phone number, which she knew well by heart.
Connie texted him what she had done from the morning. They were all real-time updates: when she began working; when she went to the bathroom; when and what she drunk, etc. She reported all matters about her in detail to Mr. Hogg.
It was obvious that Charlie had brought her over.
Wendy was amused, thought a little angry.
Throwing the phone back to Connie, she scolded angrily, "Little spy!"
Connie smirked and explained while holding her arms coquettishly, "Sister Wendy, you are pregnant. Mr. Hogg is worried about you! Besides, I do it out of concern for you."
Wendy shook her head, casting her a wry glance.
Not long after, her phone rang. She thought Charlie called her after getting Connie's messages. However, when she took the phone up and looked at the screen, she found it was an unknown number. She hesitated a little before picking it up.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Lim?" A strange male voice sounded.
"Yes. Who is speaking?" Wendy frowned.
The man's tone sounded serious and formal, not like that of those salesmen or frauds.
"This is the municipal public security subbureau. Miss Lim, do you know a criminal named Helen Lee?"
"I do..." Wendy said, pursing her lips.
The man continued to explain the purpose of this phone call. "She applied and asked us to tell you that she wanted to see you."
