Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 559
"It doesn't matter!" Wendy shook his head.
How could she blame her? Connie did this for her, and so she should thank her!
When the female colleague saw this, she laughed out, "Haha! You two cooperated so well! What great actors! Do you need me to applaud you? Shame on you! Is it interesting when so many people are watching?"
"You" Connie was so furious that she stamped her feet with anger. She was on the verge of jumping on her to pull her hair.
Wendy hurriedly stopped her from going crazy and comforted her with a smile. "Connie, don't be angry. It's not easy to shut her up. I'll call him."
She was referring to Charlie.
Her words nearly made the female colleague laugh her teeth off. "Hum! You can call any man and tell us that he is Mr. Hogg. No one will believe this!"
Wendy didn't argue with her. She picked up the phone on the table. There was a missed call before Charlie's meeting, so she called back before the crowd and put him on the speaker.
Charlie answered quickly, and then there came his cool voice.
"Hey, Wendy."
The few simple words were enough for the others to recognize that it was Mr. Hugg.
After all, since they were employees in the subsidiary company under the Hogg's Group, they all knew the voice of Charlie, their big boss. He called Wendy intimately even before she said anything to him.
Lots of people were gathering in the cafeteria and their argument had attracted many people's attention. The majority of them did not believe Wendy. As she made the call, every on- looker was looking forward to seeing the result. However, the moment they heard Charlie's voice, they fell silent.
Wendy remained calm as if she had not seen the astonished crowd and called Charlie the same way as she always did. "Charlie, I'm in the company's canteen. I don't feel very comfortable. Can you come to pick me up?"
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the canteen was petrified and looked at her without blinking.
Wendy thought it would be over, but the people around had no intention of leaving -they doubted it and were eager to see what would happen. Therefore, she had to sit down and waited for Charlie while rubbing her phone screen.
About ten minutes later, a plink sound of the elevator came.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, a tall figure entered everyone's sight. His black handmade suit showed off his well-built body, and he fixed his eyes on Wendy as he walked over to her. When he came near, Wendy stood up from her seat.
He looked nervous because she told him that she felt uncomfortable. But when he saw her rosy cheeks and that she was not in pain, he looked a little relieved. When he held her hand, he touched her lower abdomen through the clothes.
He did not ask why she would ask him to come. Instead, he looked at the people around him with a frown and asked in a deep voice, "Wendy, are you all right?"
"I'm fine..." Wendy blinked her eyes.
Like everyone else, she was a little surprised that he would come so quickly. It was just about ten minutes!
He had just finished the contract with a cooperative company and was on the way back to the Hogg's Group. When he received her call, he immediately asked the driver to turn and headed for her place. However, in other people's eyes, his appearance in such a short time showed that he attached great importance to Wendy.
Besides, his big hand was on her belly at this time, which had already explained everything. No one would ask Wendy to prove her relationship with Mr. Hogg.
Wendy was their boss's fiancee! Everyone was completely shocked by the news!
Among them, the most stunned one was the female colleague, and it was amusing to see the expressions on her face changed repeatedly. Just now, she was sure that Wendy was lying only because Mr. Hogg had never had any contact with Wendy when he came to the sub-company and had a meal with them. Neither did he give any special care for her. But to her surprise...
Now she felt greatly ashamed as if she had been publicly humiliated.
Connie felt free from anger and her whole face was lit up with joy and pride. She asked happily with her hands crossed on her breast, "How about that? What else do you want to say?"
The female colleague could not even dare to raise her head. How could she argue more? In fact, she was nearly scared out of her wits and stumbled as she stepped a few steps back. Then, gloomily, she escaped.
The group leaders were eating in a box, and the general manager also heard the noise outside. Seeing that they all crowded there, he was a little angry and wanted to scold them. However, after witnessing the whole process, he was so surprised and happy that he rushed forward to greet Wendy, his eyebrows shaking with excitement.
Wendy was speechless with surprise, and so did those colleagues who turned to look at the general manager and her.
She had no other choice but to tell them the truth. After all, she could not let Connie, who stood up for her, be bullied like that. She had to vent her anger for her!
Now, her identity was completely exposed!
It was obvious that she could not concentrate on her work in the afternoon because many colleagues would vie to show their concern for her and would even treat her warmly as if she were a celebrity. She was at a loss what to do even at the thought of it, so she had to look at the general manager and said hesitantly, "General manager, can I take half a day off?"
"Yes! Sure, sure!"
The general manager almost nodded repeatedly.
Not to mention taking a half day's leave, she was free to even take a year's leave!
Originally, he was not satisfied when the personnel department hired a pregnant woman. No leader in any company would like to accept a female and pregnant employee. Fortunately, he thought that she was only in the probationary period. After the period, he would find an excuse and fire her immediately. But unexpectedly, it was not bad luck at all. He got a treasure!
The general manager's face was red with excitement as if he had drunk too much. He rushed forward and said in his oily voice, "Mr. Hogg, Miss Lim, I'll send you to the elevator!"
He even pressed the elevator button for them and saw them off, his eyes sparkling. In fact, he even wished to accompany them to go out of the office building until they got on the car. The elevator door was finally closed and blocked all the others outside.
Wendy briefly told him why she would suddenly call him, and then let out a long sigh. "Now, it will be the same as when I was working in the Hogg's Group..."
Charlie raised his eyebrows happily because it was exactly what he wanted.
Originally, he did not want her to work after she was pregnant. He arranged for her to work in the Hogg's Group because he wanted his employees to take care of her. Now that everyone in the company knew about her identity, he did not have to worry about her being tired from work every day.
Until they got out of the office building and got into the white Land Rover, Wendy still felt that many people were watching them through the windows of the office building.
