Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 52

The following day, Wendy was awoken by the ringtone.

She reluctantly picked up the phone. But a scream of Judy came out from the other end of the line. 

"What's going on? Judy, why are you screaming? You frightened me."

"What happened?" Wendy yawned to rub her eyes. Then she turned to the wall to check the time.

After Henson left last night, she purposely turned off the alarm, hoping to get a full sleep and wake up naturally.

But it was just 8:30 now. 

Why Judy was so early today? When did she ever got up before 10 when she was free?

My dear god! What on earth happened to her?

"Gill didn't get the position. The school gave an official statement, saying that they made a mistake to have published the wrong name. And you are the right one who get the position. What a lame excuse! Hey, what do you think about it? I am so happy to see Gill's failure. Ha ha ha..."

At this time, Wendy finally came to her sense. She knew Henson did it for her. 

"Oh?" Wendy said dryly.

"Just oh? That’s your only reaction to hear such good news? Why could you be so calm? I know you won't give a da*m shit about Gill. But when you really showing your outstanding composure, I really want to call you 'Big sister'."

Wendy sat up to comb the hair with her fingers and said with laugh, "My dear little girl, you will be shocked anymore after you come across many other big questions like me."

"Tch." Judy felt a little disappointed with her reaction. But then she laughed and asked, "Then tell me, where should we go this afternoon? You said you wanted to treat me with a big meal before. Then how about today? We could also celebrate it for you for you have regained your position."

Wendy smiled to Judy and said, "All right. You can choose whatever you want, even if they a little expensive."

"You mean it? Do you just win a prize at a lottery?"

"No. It just because that for the past four years, you have helped me a lot. Besides, you told me the good news and we definitely should celebrate for it."

"Alright then, we should... eat the steak in the restaurant near our school."

Wendy smiled and judged, "You are so easy to get satisfied."

"Yes, then 'deal' ?"

"Alright, 10: 30 PM. We could meet at the school gate."

After hanging up, Wendy called Henson.

A lazy voice came over the phone, "Hello."

"It's me."

"I know."

"Are… you busy?"

"No." said Henson. Then he suddenly realized that his tone may be a little cold. So he soon asked back, "Why did you get up so early today? Didn't you say that you would be awake until the noon last night?"

In the meeting room, all the mangers were all shocked to his words.

Last night...

Could it be that the CEO was dating someone?

Mr. Charles was now talking gently with someone. But how could other people know that he was furious at them just now.

Who was so powerful to change Mr. Charles's attitude?

They were so curious about this mysterious girl. If she could give Henson a good mood every day, they would surely find her and asked for her help with respect.

"Yes. But my roommate woke me up with a call."

"She must be your nemesis."

"Not at all. She just wanted to tell me the good news. Henson, thank you. I have got the news that I have regained the job. Thank you."

Henson smiled and teased her, "I have said many times that, if you really want to show your thanks, then do it with action not words."

"Like?"

After walking out of the meeting room, Henson said, "Like, marry me?"

Wendy blushed. "If you just want to joke around, then I will hang up now."

Henson laughed again and said to her, "But I’m not joking."

"Then I'm really going to hang up."

"Then how about eating lunch with me today?"

"Sorry. But I have already got an appointment with my friend."

"How about evening?"

"But I need to tutor a middle school student tonight. And I won't be free until 8 p.m."

Henson raised his eyebrows with a little disappointment, "Then how could you thank me?"

"Mm…" Wendy thought for a while and decided, "How about tomorrow noon?"

Henson pursed his lips into a smile for Wendy wouldn't just reject him directly now.

It seemed like this woman really wanted to thank him for he had helped her.

"But I will be having a meeting at noon. Let's meet after work in the evening. I'll chose the restaurant."

"Alright."

Wendy could not help but smile to the sunny sky after hanging up.

But then she patted on her face for this strange smile.

Why did she smile to the sky? It was just a normal day. And what's so funny?

Wendy did not know why she was still in a good mood. But then she got up to clean herself and the room. After finishing all the household chores, Wendy left to the school.

She just arrived at school gate on time.

But our Judy was late again.

Two girls passed by her.

Wendy heard their talk. "As you know, he has helped me to solve such a big problem. So I want buy a gift to him. But what should I buy for him?"

"I think you… You could pay him back with yourself." The other girl joked.

"You're so annoying. Could you be more serious and give me some advice about the gift?"

"All right, all right. Does he smoke? If he does, a special lighter will be a good idea. Otherwise, you can buy him an useful gift like a tie or watch."

The two girls had walked away. But Wendy was still covering her red cheeks with hands.

Pay him back with yourself...

Wendy took a long breath for she could clearly feel her hot face.

At this time, Judy jogged to her from not far away. "Wendy, I'm sorry to be late. In order not be outclassed by your beauty, I spent some time in makeup.You would blame me on this, right?" Judy winked at her with an innocent face, but the she found Wendy was a little strange, "Wendy, Why is your face so red?"

"It must be the hot sun. I probably get burnt for having waited you here for a long time"

"That's all my fault. Let's go."

Wendy pulled her back and said, "About that … You will have a chance to make up it now. "

"What?"

Wendy then whispered something to her.

Judy was shocked about what she just heard. "What? You said what? "

"You hear me."

"Would you want to go back together with Gorman again?"

"Not at all!"

"Then why do you ask me about the gift choice for a man?"

Wendy was a little regretful for having told her about the gift. She should have just to buy the gift herself. Now how could she explain the gift thing to Judy?

Judy took her arm and said, "Hurry up to tell me the truth."

"I have a brother who I told you before. I want to thank him for he just helped me."

Judy was speechless to hear that, "You have been too courteous to your own brother."

"He's my half-brother. And it's better to be a bit more polite."

"OK, then. Just follow me. I'll bring you to a good place to buy the gift. I am sure your brother will be satisfied with the gift."

Wendy felt guilty for having told a lie to Judy. But she still followed her to buy the gift.
