The manager nodded and took over the blade with both hands.
They were led to a workshop inside. There was a professional craftsman, who were wearing gloves and ready to deal with it.
The new hilt was indeed the same as her old one. But when she saw the new hilt in the chef's hand, she had a sense of resistance.
Especially when she remembered the man's big smile as he sent her the knife...
Wendy Lim walked over and said, "Forget it, no need."
"No need?" Charlie Hogg stood up from the sofa. He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "It was you who held it yesterday with an upset look as if you were dying."
Wendy Lim was awkward by his words.
The manager thought that she was worried about the new hilt would not match the blade, so he interrupted with a smile, "Miss, all the craftsmen here are top-notch. After putting on the new hilt, I can guarantee that it would be exactly the same as your original one."
That's why she didn't want it.
Even though they looked exactly the same, they were not the same things.
Wendy Lim took back the blade and insisted, "I really don't want to fix it. Thank you."
"Then buy a new one. The knives here are all from Switzerland. You can pick one that you like!" Charlie Hogg said, pulling her hand.
Wendy Lim was dragged to the counter by him, but she didn't even look at the knives.
She shook her head slightly and took her hand away. Then, she wrapped up the blade and put it back in her bag. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"There are various kinds of knives. Are there anyone that you like?"
Wendy Lim bit her lips and said in a soft but firm voice, "It's special for me."
Special for her.
Charlie Hogg considered these three words his mind. There was no change on his usually indifferent face, but his chin gradually became stiff.
Wendy Lim straightened the straps of her bad, looked showed an apologetic look to the manager and said to Charlie Hogg, "I'm going to be late. Let's go!"
When they came out of the shopping mall, she followed him closely.
Charlie Hogg bypassed the car and stopped at the door of driver's seat. He didn't unlock the car but stood there. His deep eyes were fixed on her and suddenly said, "Who gave you the broken knife?"
"..." Wendy Lim's breathing stopped for a second.
"I'm asking you." Charlie Hogg said again.
His tone did not change, but the lines of his eyebrows became sharper. Deterrence could be found in his eyes.
Wendy Lim wanted to tell him a friend sent her the knife. But when she spoke out the words, she changed, "It's none of your business..."
Charlie Hogg stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly swung the key and sat into the car.
Before she could open the door, the Land Rover had started, and then he backed the car.
Wendy Lim reacted quickly and dodged to aside. Next, the taillights of the car flashed, leaving only the exhaust gas to her.
She couldn't believe that she had been left at the entrance of the shopping mall.
The man's temper...
Wendy Lim looked at her watch, but it was too late for her to take a bus, so she had to take a taxi.
"Wendy Lim?"
She frowned because she was familiar with the voice...
Wendy Lim turned back and saw Yolanda Lim, who decked out in designer gear. Yolanda Lim also frowned and said with astonishment, "How can you be here?"
"I'm really sorry to disappoint you." The corners of Wendy Lim's mouth twitched.
"What's going on? You should be detained for 15 days!" Yolanda Lim was so angry that she shouted.
"Maybe God bless me." Wendy Lim put on a fake smile. Every time she met Yolanda Lim, she was always in a bad mood. She reached out one hand to call a taxi.
Yolanda Lim stood in front of her and looked in the direction where the Land Rover just left. She stared at Wendy Lim and asked, "Wendy, tell me, is Charlie staying with you just now?"
Wendy Lim didn't want to provoke Yolanda Lim or she would be mad. So, Wendy Lim said perfunctorily," No, you're wrong."
A taxi stopped near her. She got into the taxi quickly and asked the driver to start.
"Am I wrong?"
It was impossible. Yolanda Lim had been attracted by Charlie Hogg for a long time, so she couldn't be wrong about him. Thinking of her beloved man was staying with Wendy Lim, she stamped her feet with anger.
Charlie Hogg did not call Wendy Lim in the following week.
Wendy Lim was happy and relaxed. She stayed in the hospital every evening, but she would occasionally check her mobile phone in case Charlie Hogg would get angry if she didn't answer his call.
When she thought of that, Charlie Hogg's face in a gloomy look appeared in her mind...
Wendy Lim shook her head hard. When did he become so deep-rooted in her mind?
When she was off work and got out of the elevator, her phone suddenly vibrated. She took out the phone and found it was Charlie Hogg.
"Come to my home tonight! I have a business dinner, and you should be on my bed when I come back."
He hung up before Wendy Lim could say a word.
From the day she decided to be with him, she was obedient, slept on his bed and kept the bed warm.
But it was in the summer...
Wendy Lim put one hand on her forehead.
When it was getting dark, she had already been in the upscale residential quarter.
Charlie Hogg didn't say an exact time and only told her to be his home earlier. Wendy Lim had been late once, and he was so angry that time. She didn't want to provoke him again, so she took a bus to here after dinner.
When she opened the door, it was dark inside.
Wendy Lim changed her shoes and went to take a shower. She came out from the bathroom and waited for a while, but there was no sound downstairs.
She played the poker game on her phone, and then fell asleep.
" Bang!"
The door was slammed.
Wendy Lim woke up with a start. She felt that there was a black shadow stumbling toward her, and the air was mixed with the smell of alcohol.
Before she could see the shadow clearly, she was bitten on the neck.
Wendy Lim felt the pain and confirmed that the man on her body was Charlie Hogg. In the dim light, she could vaguely see his clearly defined face. He closed to her ear and said with the smell of alcohol, "I asked you to warm my bed, but didn't allow you to sleep."
Wendy Lim looked out through windows at the moon hanging high in the sky. It was at midnight. How could she not sleep?
She explained in a weak voice, "I'm so sleepy that I can't control..."
"If I don't come back, you are not allowed to sleep alone in the future!" Charlie Hogg reached out one finger to touch her nose.
"Ok, got it." Wendy Lim nodded.
Charlie Hogg straddled her and began to undress.
Even in the darkness, she could see his strong body and his beautiful chest muscles. Because he was undoing the buttons of his shirt, the muscles of his forearms were stood out, which was as hard as iron.
Wendy Lim swallowed. She had been stimulated, and there was some warm liquid gushing out from her private part.
She suddenly froze and avoided his lips.
Charlie Hogg, who hadn't taken a shower, saw her responses and became unhappy, "Do I smell bad?"
"No..." Wendy Lim shook her head. Charlie Hogg raised her hands and wanted to be more violent.
"Don't, don't!"
Wendy Lim was a little anxious, but she couldn't stop him. After a while, she stuttered, "I, I'm on my period..."
