How to Get a Wife novel Chapter 280

Joanna didn't like Charlie, but it seemed that he got along well with other colleagues. He was rich, handsome and generous to his colleagues. Most importantly, he was capable. Charlie was a serious man when it came to work. Thanks to these advantages, Charlie became more and more popular among his colleagues.

But Joanna heard all these from Sherry.

Everything went well in the afternoon. At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone got off work on time and held a welcome party for Joanna. They were just ordinary employees, and some of them were married. So they just chose a relatively ordinary restaurant. Joanna thought that these things don't matter. The most important thing is everyone's mind.

"Sheena, it's time to get off work now. Hurry up. Everyone is waiting for you," Wang was older than Manager Sheena, so he called her Sheena out of working hours. Now it was off duty.

Sheena tidied her table, took her things and followed Wang, "let's go."

Then they drove towards the restaurant. The restaurant was already reserved in advance. The owner of the restaurant knew that they often came here, so he reserved the best seat for them.

"Let's make a deal first. I can't drink tonight. Please forgive me." Everyone was a little unhappy by Joanna's words.

"Joanna, don't be so boring."

"How could you not drink?"

"How can we enjoy ourselves if we don't drink?"

Listening to their complaints, in fact, Joanna felt a little guilty. But she had to do it. She had promised Wilson, and her physical condition did not allow herself to drink. Joanna smiled apologetically. "I'm so sorry, everyone. You should have seen the previous news. I really can't drink now, and I have promised Wilson that I won't drink any more. If I can't do it, I will not be able to join your activity in the future."

Although they all felt a little disappointed, after reminded by Joanna, they remembered that she had a miscarriage not long ago. Therefore, they stopped persuading Joanna to drink. After all, they came out together for fun. If anything happened to her, Helen and Wilson would not let them go.

"Now that Joanna has made up her mind, we won't force her to drink. Order her a glass of juice, and we can still drink." No one opposed Wang's proposal. They all agreed that Joanna couldn't drink.

"Come on, guys. Raise your glasses. Today we are here to celebrate for Joanna's participation. Let's relax and have a good time. Cheers! "

As soon as Wang finished his words, everyone raised their glasses. Manager Sheena was not good at this kind of things, so naturally it was left to Wang to do it.

"Cheers!" The cups of the group clinked.

Such a little episode quickly passed. They were all familiar with each other, so they got along very well. Therefore, they all had a good time together. Joanna was not a crazy person, except for those as mad as Rita. So she just quietly watched everyone's interaction and occasionally discussed with Sherry sitting next to her.

Sitting opposite to Joanna, Charlie looked at her quietly. It was not that Joanna didn't notice his expression, she just didn't want to care. She didn't like the way he looked at her.

A group of noisy people went out of the restaurant to join in a karaoke. During this period, Joanna called Wilson to report her whereabouts. Moreover, the others joked at her that Wilson was so worried about her that she even didn't have her personal time. Embarrassed, Joanna hung up the phone and went to the KTV with them. In fact, she didn't like such a noisy place all the time, but she didn't want to disappoint everyone. Since nobody said they wanted to leave, she couldn't leave as the host.

To her surprise, Wilson didn't talk much this time. He just agreed and told her to pay attention to safety. Hanging up the phone, Joanna felt a little confused. She was surprised that Wilson hadn't been nagging.

"Why are you here? Are you not going in? " As soon as Joanna turned around, she saw Charlie, who was looking at her with a teasing smile on his face. She was shocked, but she quickly returned to normal.

'It was this man again.' She always felt that Charlie was not simple. 'I had better stay away from him.'

"Mr. Charlie, what can I do for you?"

Charlie walked closer and looked at Joanna with sincerity. "Joanna, we are now colleagues. You can call me Charlie instead of Mr. Charlie."

"Well, it's just a name. You..." Joanna stepped back to keep a distance from Charlie, "stay away from me."

But Charlie didn't seem to care about the alienation. He stood still and said, "it seems that you have a good relationship with Mr. Wilson."

"Whether our relationship is good or not, I don't need your concern. This is our business. It has nothing to do with you. "

With one hand on the wall behind Joanna, Charlie came closer to her and whispered, "Why don't you have anything to do with me? Of course I have something to do with whether you are happy or not. It's about my future."

Joanna laid against the wall, stiff. She had never been so close to anyone except for Wilson. For a moment, her mind went blank.

"Well, this... This is... What does it matter with you? "

Hearing the stammering voice of Joanna, a smile appeared at the corners of Charlie's mouth. "Of course it has something to do with me. If you are not happy, you can immediately dump Wilson and come to me. If you are happy, I will take you away from him." He looked at Joanna with a snicker and continued, "from now on, I will pursue you."

Hearing that, Joanna looked at Charlie with surprise, "I'm engaged to Wilson. You..." Joanna's face flushed, and she did not know what to say.

"As I said, it doesn't matter. I don't mind."

Unable to answer him, Joanna tried her best to push Charlie away and ran into the bedroom. Seeing her escaping, Charlie smiled.
