A wave of guilt rose in Wendy’s heart.
She didn’t nothing about the meeting.
She even took him to eat hamburgs with her just now.
Looking at the desserts on the tea table, her eyes turned red with tears. “Dayne, what can we do now?”
“Miss Evans, please don’t worry, I’ll think go to find h… Mr. Charles, oh my god, finally you’re back. ”
Wendy heard Dayne suddenly calling the name “Mr. Charles”.
Then Henson’s icy voice came to her ear.
“Have I told you that I won’t come back?”
This was a completely different Henson Wendy never saw.
Dayne replied hurriedly, “No. As your phone is left behind in the office, and I am afraid that the foreign partners will leave soon, so I…”
“Will our company go bankrupt without this deal?”
“No no no. Mr. Charles, I am very sorry.” Dayne then put the phone back on his ear. “Miss Evans, Mr. Charles had been back already. Please don’t worry.”
Henson frowned to stare at him, “You’re calling Wendy?”
Dayne felt a little guilty, “Mr. Charles, I’m sorry. I couldn’t contact you before, so I called Miss Evans …”
“Enough,” Henson got Dayne’s phone out of his hand. He then asked on the phone, “Have you eaten the desserts?”
Hearing it was Henson now, Wendy stamped her feet anxiously, “Henson. Why do you do this to me? If I have ruined such a big deal, can you imagine how shameful I will be?”
“Even if I can’t make the agreement, I won’t ask you to take the blame. It’s my business. But if you really feel bad for me you can choose to repay me with yourself. I’d love to accept that.”
Hearing this, Dayne hide away hurriedly.
Wendy felt a little frustrated. “Please stop joking around now. Hurry up to continue your business now.”
Henson laughed, “Don’t forget to send me the photos, or I will come to find you again.”
Henson then hung up.
“Stop at there.” Henson turned to shout to Dayne. who was almost near the door of the room.
Dayne quickly stopped and lowered his eyes respectfully. “Yes. Mr. Charles.”
Henson threw the phone back to him.
Dayne got his phone.
“If you dare to call Wendy again for this thing, then you can wait and see how will I ‘take care of’ you.”
“No no no. I make a promise here that I won’t do this again.”
Henson then pushed open the door to the conference room to continue the meeting.
On the other side, looking at desserts on the table, Wendy suddenly lost her appetite.
She was really scared by the call.
But Henson hoped she could eat them all.
So she picked up the dessert to eat again.
After eating another two of them, Wendy was too full to eat anything, then she took a selfie and sent it to Henson.
Henson heard a new message coming in. He then picked up the phone to check it.
In the picture, Wendy was making a face to him, her finger pointing to the desserts on the table. The cream residuals were still on her lips. Henson suddenly burst into laughter.
“You are more attractive than the cake.” Henson typed those words while he was still listening to the reports from people.
Dayne was so nervous that he’s about to sweat.
He had never seen Mr. Charles like this before.
He must be falling in love.
How Miss Evans… could actually take Mr. Charles down?
He really wanted to kneel down to her for some advice.
Next day was Saturday. Wendy thought Henson would come to ask for a meal.
So she got up early and bought a lot of ingredients from the market.
But it had been seven o’clock in the evening, Henson still did not appear or even make a call.
Staring at the soup that had been simmering for a whole day, Wendy pursed her lips in the small kitchen.
Fine, without him, she then could eat all of them herself.
She cleaned up the table and placed the dishes on the table.
Wendy was about to eat but still felt unhappy. She put down the fork to cross her arms and said, “You said to eat together on weekends, yet now you don’t come without telling me in advance? Ha, what a joke.”
Wendy took a deep breath. Then she began to eat again.
After just a small bite of the food, Wendy could not help but think, “Is… he so busy today? But he was also very busy last night. Hmm, he could be busy again. Yes, that’s the reason. Stop thinking of him now. Yes… But… He’s always very busy. But he still had the time to upset her before.”
Thinking of the day before yesterday, when he was angry for she did not call him, Wendy hesitated to the sofa to get the phone.
Then she found Henson’s number in the directory and but hesitated again.
What if he was busy now?
Or he just said that he wouldn’t come here to eat?
Then how embarrassing she would be.
But Henson may also be waiting for her call too.
He said that before.
Wendy still hesitated.
But in the end, she went back to the table to go on her eating.
But she could not finish the dishes either because of a bad mood.
After eating, she felt lazy. Then she decided to return to her bed without even cleaning the table.
It was only eight o’clock, but Wendy decided to have a sleep.
Because only when she was asleep can her imagination stop running wild.
But she unfortunately lost sleep.
So thinking for a while, Wendy finally immediately got up to call Howell directly.
“Sister Wendy, what a coincidence! I am also about to call you.”
“Oh? What for? ”
“I want to ask you that why didn’t you come to see Henson when he is sick?”
“What? Henson is sick? What happened? Is it serious? ”
“You don’t know?”
Wendy felt awkward. “No, I haven’t called him yet.”
“Wow, Sister Wendy, that’s your fault as a girlfriend. Henson seemed to have eaten something unclean last night. He had a diarrhea for the whole day. How could you not call him for a whole day?”
Wendy immediately thought of the hamburg from the stall.
But she also ate it. And she was completely fine now, then why was Henson sick?
“How is he now?” asked Wendy.
“I don’t know. I just saw him getting angry with a servant, so I wanted to call you to ask about him. I mentioned you to him too. But he was probably mad at you and asked me to stay away from your business. So I thought you two must have a quarrel before.”
Wendy felt guilty.
“Alright, Howell. I got it. I will hang up.”
She then hung up.
Howell stared at his phone in confusion. Then he said to himself, “But how could you just hang up like this? You did not even tell me why you call me. Weird! “
