Farr looked at Charlie with a struggling face, and then looked at Wendy, who was standing aside. He seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought.
Charlie frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss Gray is in your office!" Farr had no choice but report.
"Did I say I wanted to see her?" Charlie asked in a low voice.
Farr nodded quickly and explained nervously, "But this time she came with the proposal of Gray's Group and Hogg's Group..."
Wendy didn't know much about their business, but it was clear to her as early as four years ago that Charlie and Madge's engagement was very much a business marriage between the Hogg family and the Gray family, and how closely the two families worked together.
Seeing that Farr was in a dilemma, she took the initiative to say, "Charlie, go to see her first..."
Upon hearing this, Charlie's eyebrows twisted into a small knot.
Wendy pointed to the front and whispered, "I'll wait for you in the living room over there. Ask Mr. Chiang to call me when you're done!"
After that, she let go of his hand and wanted to go over. As soon as she raised her foot, Charlie pulled her back again. He reached out his hand and raised her chin, staring at her face with his deep eyes, as if to explore her emotions. "Wendy, are you jealous?"
"I'm not..." Wendy argued.
When she looked up at his expression, she couldn't help but smile gently. "I'm really not jealous. You told me before that there's nothing between the two of you. I believe you..."
Charlie's gaze gradually deepened, as if he was on fire.
He put his hands on her waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Wendy dodged in panic, she felt embarrassed and said, "There are still many people watching!"
Charlie's face turned cold as he watched her slender figure enter the living room.
Well, he also had some things to talk to Madge. The last time he met her in the restaurant, he was in a hurry. In addition, his son was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, so he didn't say anything that day.
His deep eyes narrowed, and then he walked towards the office with his hands in his pockets.
He pushed the door open and Madge, who was sitting at his desk, got up at the sound of the door and saw him with two dimples.
"Charlie."
Charlie just gave her a light glance and went straight to the high back chair and sat down.
After they met face to face, Madge sat down again. Seeing that he didn't want to take the initiative to talk to her, she could only smile and continue, "I want to send the proposal to you."
"Well, put it there." Charlie raised his hand.
"Charlie, you read the proposal first. Nico said that there are a lot of imperfections in it, and that the main opinions are at your disposal!" Madge's voice was soft.
"I'll talk to Nico about the details." Charlie said with a nod. Then he looked up from the proposal and leaned back on the chair, looking at Madge from a distance. "Sunny, are you just here to send the proposal to me?"
"Charlie, you got me, didn't you?" When Madge heard this, she immediately choked with sobs and said, "Yes, I just want to see you. I went to the villa and you wouldn't even let me in. So I could only talk to you under the guise of delivering a proposal!"
"You don't need to do that." Charlie said in a cold tone.
"Charlie, are you really not willing to say a word to me now?" Madge looked at him dazedly. "We got engaged four years ago, and in these four years, I have been waiting for you. Do you really have to be so hard-hearted?"
"Charlie, why would you ask that? I... Of course I don't know!" Madge's tone was a little unnatural, and the hand holding the bag was unconsciously tightened as if she was afraid that someone would see through her heart. But she still tried her best to remain calm, got up and said, "Charlie, I have a cocktail party later. I'll go first!"
In the living room, Wendy stood in front of the blinds, through the gaps, she could see the traffic below.
She secretly took two deep breaths to relax.
Although she had just spoken to Charlie in such a generous way, thinking that he was now in the office with Madge, she would still mind it a little. It seemed that women would still be narrow-minded in this aspect.
The secretary behind her came in and put the teacup on the tea table next to her. "Miss Lim, here's your tea."
"Thank you." Wendy turned back to show her gratitude.
This was the female secretary who had entertained her and her colleague Coral last time. But this time, the way the female secretary looked at her was obviously different. The female secretary looked her up and down, and even secretly turned back to look at her when leaving.
After the secretary left, people passed by the door from time to time.
As more and more people came, it seemed that they became bolder. A few female secretaries simply leaned over the door and muttered together.
"Did you see her clearly? It's her. At that time, she came here hand in hand with Mr. Hogg. Many people on the first floor saw it clearly!"
"But isn't our Mr. Hogg having a fiancee? I heard that she's already preparing for the wedding some time ago. Where did this woman come from? Could it be the mistress? How could the mistress be so flagrant?"
"A mistress is nothing more than a mistress! Miss Gray is in the office now. Didn't she hide in the conference room? The fiancee is there, so the mistress has to hide. But then again, why does she have to be a mistress? Tsk!"
"It depends on what kind of person you're with. If you're with Mr. Hogg, I bet you'd probably wake up laughing in your sleep. Not to mention to be a mistress, many female employees in the entire Hogg's Group will have to squeeze their heads to have a one-night stand with Mr. Hogg..." Although Wendy didn't listen to the conversation deliberately, they were right at the door. Sometimes, their voices could be heard clearly.

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
