Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 177

Wendy was confused.

At first, she thought it would be a sales call, but the deep voice conning from the phone overturned her thought. Judging from the speaker's voice, it should be a middle-aged man.

"Yes, this is Wendy!" She held her cell phone and couldn't help asking, "Sorry, who is..."

The man replied, "This's Charlie's father."

"Ah!"

Wendy covered her mouth in time.

She was so shocked that she almost cried out.

Thinking that it was a phone call from Charlie's father, Wendy almost dropped her phone. She held her phone with two hands and paused for seconds before she finally regained her voice. "Er, is there anything..."

"Miss Lim, do you have time to have a meet with me? After work, I will arrange my secretary to pick you up."

Before Wendy could say anything, the phone had been hanging up. Although he said in a tone of inquiry, it was obvious that he had made a decision for her.

Hanging up the phone, it took a long time for Wendy to exhale out. At the peak of the rush hour after work, a Mercedes stopped at the door of a tea shop.

A secretary arranged by Charlie's father opened the door for Wendy. When she entered the tea-house, Wendy stopped. After tiding herself up and adjusting her breath, she followed the secretary in. There were totally five floors in this tea shop, but there was no elevator. The decoration was very simple. The wooden steps made dull sounds when they stepped on.

On the third floor, they walked to the end and took a turn. They stopped at the door of the box. Knocking on the door, and pushing it open, the secretary nodded respectfully and said, "Chairman Hogg, Miss Lim has arrived."

A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit was sitting beside the rosewood window. He looked a few years older than Johnny. He was about 55 years old and looked very strong. There was not a trace of white hair on his head. In front of him was a cup of hot Biluochun tea.

He was resting with his eyes closed and did not open his eyes.

After reporting, the secretary went out.

When the door was closed, not only Wendy's palms but also her arms were clearly covered with sweat.

She didn't expect that Charlie's father would call her, and she didn't know why he wanted to meet her. Could it be that Charlie mentioned her in front of his father? But from the deep of her heart, she felt that things were not that simple.

Charlie's father didn't say anything, and Wendy didn't dare to move. She could only stand in the same place and observe secretly.

His facial features were somewhat similar to Charlie's, especially his cold expression now, which was exactly the same as Charlie's.

All of a sudden, Wendy recalled Charlie's words, "My father is serious and always loses his temper. I have seldom seen his smile since I was a child. Most of the time, he was blaming others..."

It is better to see once than hear a hundred times.

She licked her dry lips and became more and more nervous.

After an unknown period of time, Charlie's father finally opened his eyes, which were somewhat sharp. He stared at Wendy, as if he wanted to see her clearly from inside and outside. "Miss Lim?" "I'm..." Wendy could not help but take a step forward.

Charlie's father nodded and asked calmly, "Miss Lim, are you also from Ice city?"

"Yes..."

"How old are you?"

"24..."

"What's your job?"

"I'm working as an employee in a financial company..."

Wendy did not dare to breathe heavily. He asked as if he was checking her identity, but she did not dare to neglect these questions at all. Charlie's father's tone was polite, but his eyes made her feel very uneasy, especially when he looked at her. When she just flexed her hands, she heard him asked again, "What do your parents do?"

"My mother passed away very early." Wendy answered truthfully, "My father remarried. Now he is running a company, and I have a grandmother in the countryside..."

"Miss Lim, what's your relationship with Charlie now?" Charlie's father asked unexpectedly.

Wendy's heart skipped a beat.

She felt that those questions ahead were only smoke bombs, this one was the point.

"We..." She swallowed and calmed down. "I'm his girlfriend!"

"You're his girlfriend..." Charlie's father repeated her words meaningfully. Then, he smiled, "Well."

A few days ago, when he went to the dam to fish, Mr. Zheng told him that he had met his son and his girlfriend having a meal outside. At that time, he did not believe it. Unexpectedly, after a simple investigation, he found that Charlie indeed had a girlfriend!

Charlie's father narrowed his eyes and pointed at the red wooden chair opposite him. He said, "Miss Lim, don't be so reserved. I'm not a tiger. You don't have to stand there all the time. Please take a seat!" "Okay..."

Wendy answered in a hurry, and added, "Thank you..."

She sat stiffly on the cushion, as if she was sitting on pins and needles. On the opposite side, Charlie's father's imposing manner was too strong.

After sitting down, she did not dare to make a sound. She noticed that Charlie's father was not keen on tea and the tea in front of him had not been drunk at all, perhaps Charlie's habit inherited from him. Seeing Charlie's father lift up the teapot, Wendy hurriedly raised her hands and said, "Uncle, let me..."

"Call me Chairman Hogg." Charlie's father corrected her coldly.

Wendy was embarrassed and changed her words awkwardly, "Yes, Chairman Hogg..."

The cup was filled with water. She looked at the floating tea leaves and felt uneasy.

Charlie's father put down the teapot and seemed to have prepared for it already. He took out a check from the bag next to him, signed it, and handed it to Wendy. "Here is a million-dollar." Wendy was stunned all of a sudden.

"Uncle..." Realizing that she said wrong, she quickly changed. "Chairman Hogg?"

"Take it. It's a compensation for you." Charlie's father said calmly.

Wendy's face and lips instantly turned pale. She shook her head and didn't accept it.

"What's wrong? Do you think you're insulted?" Charlie's father smiled. "Miss Lim, it's better to be real. When you were with Charlie, didn't he give you 200 thousand per month? Or do you think it's too little? It doesn't matter. Is two million enough? If you want more, I'm sorry. I think you don't deserve that much!"

Wendy's hands clenched so tightly that her nails were inserted into her palm, but she could no longer feel any pain.

His father's words shocked her at first, then embarrassed her, and finally insulted her...

She tried very hard to make a sound. "I'm sorry, I won't take it..."

"I can tell you very directly that you two won't have a result. As a man, it's just a game to be with a woman like you. I don't care about it, but I won't allow him to do it all the time! As for this money..." Charlie's father pointed at the check. "If you change your mind, you can call me at any time. The Hogg's Group doesn't care about this two million."

Wendy listened silently, but she didn't say anything. She just asked, "Chairman Hogg, may I leave now?"

"Okay."

"Thank you for your tea. Goodbye..."

After saying that, Wendy stood up, nodded, and walked out of the tea house in a hurry.

She even didn't realized when she got home. When the key fell to the ground with a click, she found that she had stood alone at the door for a long time.

She picked up the key on the ground and opened the door.

As soon as she entered and changed into slippers, her cell phone rang. It was from Charlie, who was now in the United States. "Are you off work?" Hearing his calm voice, Wendy's nose twitched.
