Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 97

"What are you going to do?" Charlie frowned.

Wendy explained, "It's Emily who has called just now. She came back from another city and will stay in my house tonight..."

"No." Charlie refused directly.

Wendy was a little anxious and put on a pleading look. "Her situation is similar to mine in Ice city. Her grandma is in a nursing home. If she doesn't come to my home, she can go nowhere..."

Emily was her best friend since they were in university. When her grandmother was hospitalized, and the Lim family refused to pay the medical expenses, it was Emily who helped her to pay. Now, she had returned from another city and had no place to stay, Wendy should invite her to her home.

"Then you can leave after we finish!" Charlie grabbed her wrist and took her to the big bed even if she had not taken a shower.

Wendy hurriedly pushed him away and said, "No, she has already got off the airport bus and is about to arrive..."

Charlie's face slowly darkened.

She was biting her lips and staring at him. Then, he let go of her with a frown.

Holding her phone, Wendy walked over, picked up her bag and left silently, not daring to look at him.

"Wait a moment!" Before she could walk out of the bedroom, he suddenly asked her to stop.

Wendy stopped disappointedly. She thought that he might regret, however, she heard he said in a tough tone, "I'm going to dress up and send you home!"

The white Land Rover was running in the night, and they kept silent all the way.

Charlie didn't turn on the radio. Wendy grasped the seat belt and held her breath. She tried her best to curl up in the seat and hoped he would ignore her. Charlie's face was full of dissatisfaction. The neon lights cast some shadows on his clearly-defined face.

The car didn't run very fast, and it stopped steadily beside the old residential building.

Wendy unbuckled her seat belt, but the car was not unlocked. She had to look at him silently.

"Kiss me." Charlie said suddenly.

"...Ah?" Wendy was shocked.

Charlie frowned and urged her in a deep voice, "Hurry up, or I'll not let you go."

"..." Wendy bit her lips.

"Kiss or not?" Charlie narrowed his eyes and put his hand on the lever.

Wendy considered for a few seconds and decided to get close to him.

She couldn't give him a soft kiss like before. She blushed and kissed him deeply like he usually did to her. Soon, her ears also turned to red. Ten minutes later, Charlie let go of her. The white Land Rover left. She covered her mouth, and her tongue was painful because he had bitten her when the kiss ended.

Wendy patted on her hot face and walked into the building. As soon as she arrived at the entrance, a young girl jumped out and said, "Tell me, who is the man kissed you in the car!" The next day, Wendy was fully occupied in the company.

As soon as she went out of the conference room in the afternoon, her phone rang. She looked at the screen and picked it up quickly.

"Come to my house tonight."

His calm voice sounded in her ear. Wendy hesitated for a while and answered, "I'm afraid I can't..."

"Your best friend hasn't left yet?" Charlie said in a bad tone.

Wendy held the phone and answered after thinking twice, "It's not easy to replace suitable house, she may stay with me for a few more days..."

As she finished, Charlie hung up directly.

Wendy looked at the black phone screen. She could imagine Charlie's gloomy face.

On the third night after that, the house in the old residential building was lit with warm lights. Laughter could be heard from time to time, as if they had been back to their university days.

In the past, Emily and she shared a bunk bed. They always ate together in the cafeteria. At that time, a lot of their classmates even teased that they looked like lovers.

When Wendy washed all dishes and came out of the kitchen, Emily was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. She put a lap-top in front of her and shook her legs.

When Wendy walked over with a cup of water, Emily suddenly turned the screen to her. "Wendy, is he?"

The water that Wendy had just drunk almost gushed out of her mouth.

"Look at you! I'm right." Emily kept shaking legs harder, and swung her shoulder-length hair proudly. "Yesterday, when you answered the phone, I saw the man's name on your screen, so I searched his name on the Internet. I didn't expect that the man that I searched was exactly the same as the one that kissed you in the car that night! How is it? Am I a good detective?"

"It's a pity that you don't go to be a policewoman..." Wendy answered.

"Wendy, the shaver that you brought before was for him?" Emily narrowed her eyes.

"Well..." Wendy moved her eyes to aside.

"Your silence means I'm right!" Emily smiled and pointed at her, then she turned to the screen, "But, the Mr. Hogg looks cute and fit. I can feel his masculine by looking at his photo. He's better than lots of young actors!"

Wendy also looked at the screen, there was one of his work photos. Charlie sat in a conference room with his long legs crossed casually. He held a pen in one hand. He frowned slightly and looked very focused. The light on him was very good, which made the outline of his face more outstanding.

Seeing her best friend was staring at him, she blurted out, "Emily, do you like this type?"

"Don't worry! He's your man. I'm just looking at him!" Emily shrugged her shoulders and showed a sneaky smile.

"Don't say that..." Wendy shouted with a red face.

'He is your man'was lingering in her ears like a spell, which didn't disappear after a long time.

Emily's words made Wendy feel a little embarrassed, So Wendy got up from the sofa. After a few steps, her phone vibrated. It was Charlie. She blushed, covered the screen, and ran to the bathroom to pick it up.

"Go downstairs."

Charlie only said two words.

Wendy was stunned for a moment, then she walked to the bedroom window. She lifted the curtain and saw a white Land Rover downstairs. The car window of the driver's seat was half open, and she could faintly see the man's forearm and the burning smoke between his fingers.

After going to the kitchen, she slowly went to the door.

Glancing at Emily who was watching popular TV show, Wendy found an excuse, "I'll bring the garbage down!" Then, she ran downstairs quickly.

When she arrived at the entrance of the building, Wendy stopped and took a deep breath. After she cooled down a little bit, she went out and threw the garbage bag into the green trash bin. Next, she walked toward the white Land Rover.

When she opened the front-passenger seat door and sat in, the cigarette in Charlie's hand had burned to the end.

Wendy watched him flicking the stub out and then closing the window. The car was still full of the smell of smoke.

The Land Rover stopped between two street lamps. Charlie's face was half dark, which made his face more clearly-defined. Emily's teasing words rang in Wendy's ears again.

Wendy couldn't help clenching her hands on her knees. She swallowed and turned her face to him.

"How can you... oh!"

Her following words were all held back by his mouth and tongue.
