Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 212

Charlie's pupils shrank as if he was trying to confirm if he had seen was true.

However, by the time he got closer, he had been back to normal.

After all, there were still staff from all departments of the company in the conference room watching. Charlie still maintained a meticulous leadership attitude. His thin lips twitched slightly, and he reached out symbolically. "Ms. Hogg!"

"Mr. Hogg, I'm sorry. You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Donna raised her eyebrows and held his hand. Following his eyes, she slightly leaned to one side with a smile and said, "These two people are Secretary Shaw of our company and Miss Lim of the market promotion department respectively."

Secretary Shaw immediately came forward and shook hands with Charlie.

Next, when it was Wendy's turn, there was not a slightest change on Charlie's face. However, when she retracted her hand, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed.

It hurt so much...

Wendy put her hand behind her back and felt that the bones of her fingers were almost crushed.

After secretly glancing at the fierceness hidden in Charlie's eyes, she shrank her shoulders and felt a chill down her spine.

Well, it's so terrible!

There were seats special for them on the conference table. She followed Donna and Secretary Shaw to sit down one by one. After the simple opening remarks, the blinds were closed, the projection cloth on the wall lit up, and the meeting officially began.

Charlie was still dressed in a black suit, with a tie carefully tied. He had a pen spinning in his hand and a cup of coffee next to him, but he never drank it.

Wendy had a few meetings with him and knew what he's like at work and how serious he was. But today, he seemed to be absent- minded. His deep eyes were always narrowed, and glanced at her from time to time.

Every time he glanced at her, she cringed subconsciously.

When it was his turn to speak, he held the pen and did not move, still maintaining that position. Gradually, everyone looked puzzled.

"Ahem!" Donna reminded.

Only then did Charlie get serious. He put his fist on his thin lips and coughed lightly. Then he turned his head to look at the projection cloth and moved his thin lips solemnly.

In the quiet of his voice stating the cooperation case, Wendy buried her head with a red face. Fortunately, no one was looking at her.

After more than two hours of meeting, because it was a cooperative investment case, they went on a field trip later. In the evening, naturally, there would be a dinner party scheduled. The large box was almost full of people and waiters were serving dishes.

When Wendy entered, Charlie was already sitting there, with two empty seats next to him.

She hesitantly walked over and thought that there should be no one paying attention to her.

When she was about to sit next to him, someone walked faster than her. Donna sat down first and was winking at her. She was stunned and could only pull another chair, while Charlie's face was already black.

During the dinner, Donna was sitting between them smiling all the time.

"Come on, everyone!" Donna put down her chopsticks and took the lead to stand up. "It's my honor to cooperate with your company, and I'm also very grateful for the host's kindness. So I'll bring up this first glass of wine as a toast to you all. Best luck with our case!"

"It should be us saying welcome!"

Charlie also pulled his lips, but his tone was meaningful. "Manager Wang is right. Welcome!"

While they were talking, everyone at the table stood up with a glass of wine in their hands.

Seeing this, Wendy also hurriedly grabbed her glass in front of her. The waiter poured a full glass of wine that the liquid in it spilled out when clinked the glasses. She felt slightly drunk at the pungent smell. Donna was about to be penetrated by Charlie's sword-like eyes.

The second before Wendy's glass touched her lips, Donna quickly reached out her hand and lied without turning a hair, "Wendy, you are allergic to alcohol, so just replace wine with tea!"

"...Oh thank you!" Wendy replied in a daze.

She put down the glass, picked up the teacup next to her, and drank more than half of the cup silently.

After the clinking of glasses, they were all sitting down, Charlie suddenly got up and said, "Sorry, I gotta pick up the phone!"

Everyone nodded, people around the table were talking and laughing. The tall figure had already walked to the door.

"Hurry up!" Donna kicked Wendy under the table.

Wendy stood up with a red face and said unnaturally, "Er, then I'll go to the bathroom..."

After walking out of the box, she looked around the corridor for a long time, but found no trace of Charlie. She clearly saw him coming out with his mobile phone, but there was no one in the corridor.

She said she was going to the bathroom just now on the table, and going back now was absolutely not a good idea, so she had to head to the bathroom. She still didn't see him on the way, only waiters carrying the dishes.

The bathroom was shared, with men's room and women's room on the left and right sides.

As soon as Wendy approached, a strong arm stretched from the men's room. She let out a low moan and was dragged into the bathroom stall with her back pressed against the door, and then she heard the sound of the door being locked.

She raised her head in panic. Indeed, it was Charlie's lowered face. His face with sharp facial features was close to her. It seemed that her eyelashes could touch him if she blinked. He probably smoked just now.

"Wendy, who give the guts to lie to me!"

Charlie's arm crossed the side of her head and his jaw muscles burst out.

Wendy shrank and said timidly, "Well, I didn't mean to..."

"Don't you dare say that!" Charlie glared at her fiercely. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that my aunt had bought your company? And this morning, when I called you, were you already on your way to Lim City?"

Now he knew that Donna bought out her company and deliberately kept a low profile to cover up. Moreover, he was afraid that it was not an idea on the spur of the moment, Donna must have

planned it beforehand. Otherwise, Donna would not have brought up this case the last time she left. The key point was that Wendy, as an insider, did not tell him, and even hid it from him!

No wonder she stuttered on the phone during the day, and even turned off the phone in the end!

At that time, he really thought that her phone was powered off automatically and didn't think much of it until he saw her in the conference room with Donna and instantly felt he was duped by them, which was really infuriating!

Wendy could only repeat innocently, "I really didn't mean to..."

"You didn't mean to?" Charlie snorted. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes!" Wendy nodded in a hurry, she was afraid that he would not believe her, so she betrayed Donna and confessed to him. "It was your aunt who didn't allow me to tell you. She said if I dared to tell you, she would fire me!"

"So you just listen to her?" Charlie said while grinding his teeth.

Wendy bit her lips and whispered, "She is now my boss..."

Charlie glared at her as if he had been pissed off. The blue veins on his forehead were twitching faintly.

Wendy was a little scared, but she was even more guilty. She reached out and gently pulled a small piece of cloth from his suit, and took the initiative to admit her mistake. "I'm sorry..."
