Chapter 283
Wendy was slightly stunned.
She didn't dare to believe that after they broke up, Charlie would come to her again, but Farr had a resolute look on his face.
Her fingers slowly curled up, and her heart was a little moved.
Farr looked at her thoughtfully and asked in a tentative tone, "Miss Lim, I thought you wouldn't come back from overseas. Now that you're back, do you need me to tell Mr. Hogg that between you and him..."
"No." Wendy shook her head. Her eyes were slightly dim, and her voice was soft. "Mr. Chiang, you don't have to tell him anything. It's really good to be like this now! We broke up four years ago, and we've not related anymore. There's no need to let him know about the past."
He now had his own life, his adorable son, and a fiancee who could be in the wedding hall any minute. Moreover, she would leave Ice City soon.
Hearing this, Farr nodded his head clearly.
After all, he was just an assistant. Besides, he did see the two of them break up four years ago. He remembered that he accompanied Boss to the airport and watched her and Felix leave with his own eyes...
For a moment, both of them can't help but have something on their minds.
"Mr. Hogg!"
Farr suddenly looked behind her and nodded respectfully.
Charlie wore a black suit and took a document in his hand. It seemed that he was coming out of the conference room and walking toward the president's office. At this time, he stopped and stood there, looking at them from a distance.
Or rather, his eyes were fixed on her.
Wendy couldn't help holding her breath.
Fortunately, Coral also came out of the conference room and quickly ran over. "Wendy, you must have been waiting for a long time!"
"It's okay!" Wendy quickly looked away and pulled Coral into the elevator. "Have you finished? If you're done, let's go..."
After the elevator door was closed, Charlie turned around with one hand in his pocket and walked to the office.
In front of the big desk, Farr stood respectfully and reported business. When all the reports were finished, Boss didn't tell him to leave. He had to ask in confusion, "Mr. Hogg, anything else you need me to do?"
Charlie put the cigarette between his fingers and sent it to his lips, took a drag, and then smoke dissipated.
In the blurred sight, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Are you familiar with Wendy?" "Not bad!" Farr was stunned.
"How familiar are you?" Charlie's thin lips twitched.
"Well..." Farr was a little confused. Even he was familiar with Miss Lim, it was because of the boss. Now Boss asked him, but he didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a long time, he said, "It's
just not bad!"
Charlie put out the half-lit cigarette in his hand and said, "You can go now!"
"Yes!" Farr nodded immediately.
But until he walked out of the office and closed the door, he had a chill down his back.
Wendy thought it was the same as last time, that she's just going to have a simple meal with Coral in a restaurant.
Unexpectedly, after entered the restaurant, she found that it was a reserved private room, and many people were already sitting inside. Men and women, and they all looked about the same age. One of them seemed to be a colleague of the magazine company, and she had a vague impression of him.
There was a birthday cake in the middle of the table with candles next to it. She didn't know until she asked, but it turned out that Coral was celebrating her birthday today! Coral took her as a friend and brought her here to have fun. Coral didn't mention it in advance and was afraid that Wendy would think too much.
Now that she's here, she didn't think it's a good idea to ask to leave. So Wendy had to sit down with them.
In addition to the colleagues of the magazine, they were all Coral's college classmates. They might be of the same age as Coral, so they got along well with each other. Soon, the atmosphere became lively, and she couldn't help but be affected by them.
During the four years of her life in Canada, although she got along well with her colleagues, she was in a strange country after all. There were some cultural differences. Every time they had a
party, she would be with foreigners. She never liked it, so she rarely took part in such activities. However, it was Coral's birthday today, which made her feel rare to be able to get involved in it.
Because it was a birthday party, after the meal in the restaurant, they directly turned to the KTV.
The atmosphere was still very lively, and there were laughter and cheers.
After entering the private room, almost everyone sang a song for the birthday girl, and only Wendy was sitting in the corner of the sofa all the time.
Thinking that today's Coral's birthday, and she came here empty-handed, so she felt very embarrassed. Although she was dragged to the KTV by these people, it was not very good to be silent. After hesitating for a while, she took the initiative to pick up the microphone.
The gift could have been given to Coral later, but Wendy had to do something in the moment. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Wendy stood up shyly and said, "Why don't I sing a song for Coral as a birthday present?" "Excellent!" Coral nodded.
"But I don't know how to sing pop songs. Can I sing a Huangmei opera?" Wendy looked at everyone and said with a hesitant expression, "I don't know if you are willing to listen..."
When someone else picked songs just now, she saw that there was opera in it.
"Huangmei opera? It seems to be quite interesting!"
"Yes, we'd love to! I remember that my grandmother used to sing it all the time, it's beautiful. I haven't heard it for years since my grandmother passed away. Wendy, go on! Make me nostalgic!"
Seeing that everyone was quite interested, Wendy was very grateful and went to pick a song.
The big screen showed the name of the chosen part of the opera, and the familiar prelude gradually sounded.
The moment Wendy handed the microphone to her mouth, she suddenly remembered a man's overbearing tone, it seemed to be still in her ears, "sing it only to me". He questioned her once after she sang the song, if she remembered it right. What's more, he even tripped her on purpose when she went to sing...
Those scattered memories seemed to be vivid in her mind and never faded away.
It seemed that since then, she had never sung it again in front of others.
However, things had changed a long time ago. He didn't remember her, and he didn't remember what he had said to her. Did it matter whether she sang or not?
She cleared her throat and began to sing in front of the screen. "In order to save you, I left my home, I didn't expect that I would succeed in the imperial examination. At that time, I was in the red robe, wearing a hat with in it, it's so new to me. I also went to the feast at the palace, rode through the palace. Everyone praised my unmatched beauty, but nobody knew that I was actually a girl! I didn't take part in the examination for fame, and I didn't win the examination for becoming a minister. I just did it for you, my beloved husband..."
After the elongated coda of the song, there was only the ending music left.
She had not sung it for a long time, so she was more or less nervous.
When Wendy put down the microphone, she quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.
