Chapter 169
Because Wendy made the decision temporarily, there was no flight that night.
Wendy took the flight at noon the next day. It took four and a half hours to fly to Macao. At seven o'clock in the evening, she would appear in front of Charlie.
When she was about to pass the security check, Charlie suddenly called her.
Wendy was shocked. She didn't expect that he would call her at this time. She hesitated for a long time before picking it up.
In fact, nothing was wrong. It was just that he was free now and wanted to know what she was doing. She lied that she was having lunch. She was afraid that she would reveal herself, so she didn't say a few words and end the call initiatively.
She remembered that Charlie once said that her hand would sweat as soon as she lied.
She could not help but look down and found that her palms were indeed sweaty.
Wendy rubbed her hands on her jeans and continued to move forward with the line.
She had only taken the plane twice, and all were accompanied by Charlie. In fact, she was a little scared to take the plane alone. Soon, it was her turn, she took a deep breath and handed in her ID card and boarding pass. Her next seats were an old couple, the old lady loved chatting very much, so it was not boring while flying.
When the plane steadily landed, Wendy unfastened the seat belt. In addition to carrying a satchel on her back, she also carried a small bag, in which there were some clean clothes.
Coming out of the airport, she followed others to buy tickets and got on the bus.
According to what she had planned in advance last night, Wendy got off the airport bus and changed into another one.
It was a sightseeing bus. In addition to the inside seats, there were open-air seats on the top of the car. But now it was cold outside, so there were not many people going up. Almost all of them were in the car. Besides, there was a tour group, which made the bus very crowded.
There was no seat, so Wendy stood at a back corner of the carriage.
"What are you doing?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Not long after the car moved, a quarrel suddenly came out, which attracted the attention of the crowd.
It was a short girl with short hair and a big pair of glasses. She was a little round. The person who quarreled with her was a very thin man with a sneaky look.
Although Wendy didn't know how to speak Cantonese, she had seen a lot of Cantonese TV series, so she could understand a little.
The girl pointed at the man angrily. "You touched my ass just now!"
"Come on, there are so many beautiful girls in this car, will I touch you?" The man was not willing to show weakness, and his words were very vicious. "Why don't take a look at yourself in the mirror? You're not the type that could be harassed!"
"You—" The girl trembled with anger.
No one in the car was willing to help. They just laughed and watched the fun.
The girl finally had no choice but to endure it. She moved to a place farther away from the man. Wendy felt that this girl looked very honest. Her face was red because of anger, and she didn't seem to be lying.
Thinking that she was not familiar with this place, she couldn't help but walk to a place with fewer people.
Soon, she arrived at her destination. Wendy moved to the door. A lot of people were going to get out of the car at this station, so she was pushed several times.
The bag containing clothes was held in her arms, and the bag on her body was pushed to her back. She subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but suddenly, the back of her hand hurt.
She took back her hand, only to find that there was a slit on it, and the red blood quickly gushed out.
Wendy turned around and found that the man standing behind her was the one who had just quarreled with the girl. When he found that Wendy was looking at him, he immediately glared at her. "What are you looking at?"
She was so scared that she quickly turned her eyes away and did not dare to say anything.
She was not familiar with this place, so she was afraid that she would get into trouble.
When Wendy stood firm, the back of her hand had already begun to bleed. She suddenly realized something and went to check her bag. There was a hole on the bottom of her bag, and the wallet and other items inside were all missed!
Oh no!
The man was not a hooligan, but a thief!
The only lucky thing was that her mobile phone was in the pocket, and it wasn't stolen.
There was an old woman beside her. Seeing her situation, she kindly handed over a tissue and pointed to the police station opposite the road. Wendy nodded and thanked her. Then she followed the pedestrians across the road.
After coming out from the police station, the sky had gradually fallen.
Yesterday, when she decided to come to Macau, she had deliberately made a phone call with Charlie to find out which hotel he was staying in.
Who knew that this kind of thing would happen. Now she had lost her wallet and certificates. Fortunately, the police sent her to the door of the hotel.
At the sight of the resplendent hotel, Wendy finally felt at ease.
However, after she went in and said Charlie's name, the receptionist said that she could not reveal the privacy of guest. In desperation, she had to call Charlie, but no one answered the phone.
About ten minutes later, Charlie called her back.
Wendy quickly picked it up."... Hello?"
"Miss me?"
His voice was still calm but sexy.
"No..." Wendy blushed and her eyes blinked. "I just wanted to know what you are doing. Haven't you returned to the hotel yet?"
"No, I'm in a meeting. There are a few important problems that have not been solved. We have to reach an agreement today. If I hadn't seen your phone call, I wouldn't have stood up from my chair.
I've sat here for five consecutive hours."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, I'm going to have dinner with the meeting staff later. What about you?"
Wendy replied in a lie, "I've already had dinner!"
"Good." Charlie answered calmly.
There seemed to be someone talking on Charlie's side. Wendy was afraid of disturbing his work, so she didn't dare to say that she was already in the hotel. She just said, "Er, Charlie, we can talk about it later after you going back to the hotel!"
Hanging up the phone, she looked at her empty bag and sighed. She made this decision only because of his "miss you" and couldn't help but ask for leave and came over to Macao. She had been happy and nervous all along the way. But she didn't expect that she would be targeted by a thief as soon as she got off the plane.
So, surprise couldn't be made casually...
There was a rest area in the hotel lobby, but it was too large and there were too many people coming and going. What if she missed him by accident?
Wendy thought for a while, in the end, she didn't go to the sofa, but went to the door of the hotel.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, a black commercial car slowly drove over.
Before the doorman came forward, the driver had already run down and opened the back door. It was Farr who came down first, and then Charlie.
He was wearing a black hand-made suit, which set off his strong figure. The exhaustion between his eyebrows could not be ignored. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The meeting was not very ideal and still did not solve the problem completely, which meant that it would continue tomorrow. There were too many works, many of which required his own decision. His physical body was tired, and his heart was also tired. This was the price he had to pay for being a big boss.
"Charlie..."
A female voice suddenly came from somewhere.
