Chapter 176
When they came out, the sky outside had just begun to fall.
There were still two hours left before the flight, so they could take a stroll along the pedestrian street.
At noon, the police station called Wendy and said that they had found her wallet. All the cash and bank cards in it were lost, only her certificates were left. The thief must have thrown it into the trash can after taking away money.
But for Wendy, it was lucky enough.
However, even if she did not find back the certificates, she was not worried. Charlie was by her side, he must have a way to take her back.
Her bag was temporarily sewn up and was full of cash now. Wendy held the bottom of the bag with her hands nervously, for fearing the money inside would fall down.
Charlie insisted on giving the money to her.
Wendy still felt uneasy to collect such an unexpected fortune. When they walked, Wendy saw something. She gently shook Charlie's hand and said, "Shall we go to that store to have a look?"
"Okay," Charlie replied calmly. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
After entering, Wendy was surprised to find that it was actually a luxury store.
It was a famous luxury brand and mainly focused on high-end leather products. It was full of all kinds of leather bags, most of which were female bags.
Wendy pressed her bag with her hands and asked carefully, "Charlie, can I... use this money at my disposal?"
"I've said that you won this!" said Charlie.
Hearing this, Wendy nodded slightly and followed the clerk to walk around the store.
Charlie's phone rang at this time, he said to Wendy, "I'm going to answer the phone first!"
"Okay..." Wendy nodded again.
It was a call from the local branch office. They talked about official business for a long time. When Charlie came back, Wendy was standing still with her head lowered.
Charlie walked over from behind and asked, "Have you picked something you like?"
"Yes." Wendy glanced at him and then said to the clerk, "Please pack this one up for me!"
Then they went to the cashier and paid the bill.
When the clerk handed over the packaged thing, Charlie was surprised. What Wendy bought was actually a man's belt. She gave it to him directly.
"Did you buy it for me?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.
"Yes!" Wendy nodded.
Charlie's eyes softened. The belts were commemorative, with a symbolic "H" logo in the middle. It was not cheap. He glanced at the bill and found that the price for this belt was just the money they won... Coming out of the luxury store, Wendy felt relaxed.
She looked at Charlie, who was next to her. After they paid the bill, he changed into the new belt in the fitting room.
"Do you know what does it mean to give a belt to a man?" Charlie suddenly said in a lazy manner.
"... What does it mean?" Wendy was stunned and didn't think too much.
He insisted on giving her the money, but she didn't want it, so she could only use this way to return it back to Charlie.
"If a woman gives a man a belt, she secretly means to tie this man to her side for the rest of his life." Charlie reached out his hand, hooked her waist into his arms, and lowered his eyebrows slightly, his whole body was full of lure. "Do you also want to tie me with a belt?"
"What if I said yes?"
Wendy held her breath and asked softly.
The answer to her question was Charlie's kiss.
After dinner in the restaurant on the street, they went back to the hotel, packed up their luggage, and prepared to go to the airport later.
Wendy didn't have much luggage, she just needed to pack up her clothes. Charlie had been in Macao for a long time, so when she finished tidying up her own things, she helped to tidy Charlie's. When she putting his boxer briefs into the suitcase with a blush, there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door and found it was Farr, who seemed to be in a hurry. "Miss Lim."
After Farr greeted her, he immediately asked, "Where's Mr. Hogg?"
"He's inside the room..." Wendy pointed to the bedroom.
Farr nodded slightly and walked in quickly. After hearing Farr's words, Charlie frowned and pondered for two seconds, "I see. Go and arrange it!"
Seeing Farr coming and going in a hurry, Wendy couldn't help stepping forward and asking. "What's going on?"
"I'm afraid I can't go back with you."
"Uh?" She was puzzled.
Charlie frowned and explained, "I have to go to the United States for business, but it won't take long this time. I will come back immediately after I finish it."
In the airport lobby.
Because Charlie was going to the United States and needed to take an international flight, they could not wait together.
Farr had helped her to check-in. Just like when they just met in Macao, Wendy stood there with her bag in her arms, watching Charlie's Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
"Send me a text message when you arrive home. I may not be able to get it on the plane, but you still have to send it. Understand?"
"Got it..." Wendy nodded.
Charlie continued, "It's already midnight when you land. I'll ask Mike to pick you up."
"Okay..." answered Wendy obediently. Mike was his driver.
Mike was his driver. Hearing his orderly arrangement, she felt at ease.
She had already asked for days off from the supervisor so she had to go to work on Monday tomorrow, which made her couldn't go to the United States with Charlie like a follower.
Time passed by, and the radio had begun to remind them.
"Come here."
Charlie stretched out his hand toward her.
Wendy did not resist, but obediently and shyly leaned over.
The radio was still reminding, she struggled. Then, she heard his voice in her ear. "It's okay to let you go, but give me a kiss first!"
"Right here?" Wendy looked at him in surprise.
"Right." Charlie replied calmly.
Wendy looked around and squeezed her fingers in embarrassment. "But there are a lot of people here..."
"I won't let you go if you don't." Charlie threatened and deliberately tightened his arms.
In the face of his raised eyebrows, Wendy finally closed her eyes and slowly stood on tiptoe.
Five minutes later, she ran to the security check with a red face. Until the turn at the end, when Wendy turned back, she could still see the figure of Charlie standing up. The light was shining above him, which made him like a Prince Charming.
Monday, working day.
Wendy had been busy with her work for a whole day. Except for her noon break, she had no rest. When she got off work, she could finally catch her breath for a short time.
Of course, the colleagues who loved gossiping would not be idle. They began to ask her about her whereabouts last week and whether she had hung out with her boyfriend.
Wendy's phone vibrated at this time. She took this opportunity to get away and went to the bathroom to pick it up.
She looked at the screen and frowned, for it was a strange number.
"Hello?" Wendy hesitated.
There was a pause for two seconds and then a voice came. "Hello, is that Wendy Lim, Miss Lim?"
