Chapter 286
An office building in a bustling street.
The reception lady at the reception desk smiled every time Wendy looked over, but that lady still had no intention of inviting her in.
She couldn't help but look at her watch. She had been waiting for an entire hour.
Wendy actually came here yesterday, but that lady shut her out. She made an overseas phone call to the chief editor to report this, but still got an order that the person must be interviewed. If the interview didn't work, the anniversary issue would have been a waste of time.
Originally, her business trip was arranged in advance, and many people who needed to be interviewed had already made an appointment one by one. Only one person hadn't agreed yet. It was the founder and chairman of Price's Group.
Different from Mr. Hsu whom she had interviewed when she first returned home, this Mr. Price was a tough guy.
Wendy looked at her watch again and felt that the whole afternoon was going to be wasted here. She couldn't help but stand up from the sofa again and walked to the front desk. "Excuse me, can you ask again? Can Mr. Price find time to meet me?
"I'm sorry!" The lady at the front desk smiled.
Wendy frowned. When she was worried about what to do, she suddenly heard the lady shouting at her back, "Mr. Hogg!"
She turned around and saw a tall figure walking in.
It should be an official business, and it seemed that there was an appointment. The lady had already come out and prepared to guide him personally.
He still wore a black suit, which set off his strong figure, followed by Farr, who had met her in Hogg's Group last time.
"Miss Lim!" Farr also saw her and could not help but greet her.
Wendy smiled at Farr as a response.
Feeling the boss's sideways glance, Farr's hand, which was holding the briefcase, shook inexplicably. He closed his mouth and stopped talking, and silently retreated to the side.
Charlie put his hand into the pocket and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Er..." Wendy shrugged her shoulders. "I come here to see Chairman Price. He's a very important person we'd like to interview for our anniversary issue, but he has never agreed. I tried my best to persuade him, but he doesn't even want to see me..."
After hearing this, Charlie was silent for two seconds and asked her, "What if I can persuade him for you?"
"You?" Wendy was surprised.
"Yes." Charlie nodded with his thin lips moving. "If I help you, how would you thank me?"
Wendy frowned, looked at him with confusion and some vigilance, and said, "How do you want me to thank you..."
"It's very simple." Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What?" Wendy swallowed.
Charlie's deep and dark eyes swept over her nose bridge and fixed on her just closed lips. He said in a mischievous tone, "I want a kiss from you."
"..." Wendy widened her eyes.
There were many people coming and going in the office building hall, and she didn't expect that he would say something like this in public.
"Wait here!"
Without waiting for her response, Charlie suddenly said that to her and lifted his leg to leave.
Wendy came to her senses and shouted, "Wait..."
She didn't agree!
However, Charlie was tall and his legs were long, and his pace was big. In the blink of an eye, he had entered the elevator.
There were still many people coming and going in the hall. Wendy returned to the sofa and sat down. Looking at the second hand on the dial, she hesitated whether she should give up and leave first. The lady at the front desk came over to her.
"Miss Lim, Chairman Price asked me to invite you in!"
"Oh..."
Wendy nodded and followed the lady with a pen and a computer.
When they came out of the elevator, the secretary directly took her to the chairman's office. On the leather sofa, Farr, who had followed Charlie up before, was nowhere to be seen, only Chairman
Price and Charlie were sitting side by side. The latter was holding a cigarette in his hand, and the white smoke was coming out of his mouth.
The secretary brought a cup of tea and reached out her hand, indicating, "Miss Lim, please take a seat!"
"Thank you." Wendy nodded.
She put the pen and the computer on her knee and was developing an opening, "Chairman Price..."
"Miss Lim, you really got something!" Chairman Price opposite interrupted her with a smile, and the lines on his face were vibrating slightly. "I know your purpose for coming here. I've accepted the interview, and we can start soon!"
"Really?" Wendy was surprised. "Chairman Price, do you really agree to be interviewed?"
"I've already let you sit in front of me, and you're still asking me?" Chairman Price smiled and raised his eyebrows. He glanced at Charlie next to him and laughed even louder. "Haha, Mr. Hogg and I have been friends for two or three years. When I was playing golf on the golf course, I accidentally had a heart attack. Fortunately, Mr. Hogg handed me the medicine in time. I owed him a favor!"
"I thought he would put this favor on the business field, but he didn't mention it in the cooperation for many times these years. I didn't expect that he would ask me for this favor and let me accept your interview! So, as I said, Miss Lim, you really got something!" In the end, Chairman Price gave her a thumbs-up.
"Er..." Wendy suddenly became embarrassed.
She glanced at Charlie, who was beside her. In the white smoke, he was also looking at her with his deep eyes.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Her heart seemed to be burnt, and she lowered her eyes in panic.
Chairman Price didn't seem to see their interaction. He smiled and asked, "Miss Lim, can we start now?"
"Yes..." Wendy's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She didn't dare to look up anymore. She was staring at the screen of the computer all the way, highly concentrated.
About forty minutes later, the interview ended.
Wendy closed the computer on her knee, and her calves were a little stiff for remaining in a posture for a long time. She looked up at the opposite side and said, "Chairman Price, thank you. After the interview paper is sorted out, I will send it to you first!"
"Okay!" Chairman Price nodded with a smile.
"Well, Chairman Price, we'll be leaving first!" Charlie stood up.
"Okay!" Chairman Price raised his hand.
Wendy bit her lip and had to go out of the office with Charlie.
When they walked to the elevator, the elevator just stopped on the top floor. After entering, there were only two of them inside.
No one pressed the elevator in the middle of the way. Wendy's hands behind her back twisted and she mumbled, "Er, the interview of Chairman Price, thank you..."
"You're welcome." Charlie's thin lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Wendy's fingers pinched each other, and the elevator door slowly opened in front of her eyes. She walked out of the spinning door right after Charlie, then Charlie took out the car key from his pocket. "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go get the car!"
