Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 62

Gazing at his back, Wendy hesitated for a moment. Then she decided to say the truth. "Why do I do that? I knew she scalded me on purpose."

This answer was out of Henson's surprise; he even turning his head around to ask her with a louder voice. "Did she?"

Wendy joked with a smile. "You're our boss. Telling this to you seems like I am speaking ill of Lily behind her back."

"Cut the crap!” Henson was not satisfied. “Tell me the truth, what really happened?"

“In fact, I don't really know what exactly happened. We two were in the pantry and turning around to leave the room at the same time. Then the next minute, her coffee was all over me. But there was still some distance between she and me. So I think she did that on purpose. " explained Wendy.

Pounding on the steering wheel, Henson was furious to ask, "You know you have been bullied. Then why didn't call me at that time?"

"Why should I do that? I am not a small kid anymore. I don't need to call a 'parent' to get my revenge. Besides, if you refuse me, I will look more miserable. Even if you really come down, then everyone will know our relationship. For god's sake, I don't want to be the heroine of the gossip."

"So you choose to swallow down this grievance?"

"I will find out the reason and fight back rationally" said Wendy after thinking for a while.

"Will you?" Henson did not believe her.

"Believe it or not. That's my plan anyway." Wendy curled her lips.

Henson laughed. But Wendy seemed to have remembered something. Then she asked, "But, how do you know I was in hospital?"

"I called you before. A colleague of you called Joye answered it. Then I knew you were scalded to the hospital. By the way, she said your phone was left behind in the pantry."

"But how dose she know which hospital I was in?"

"We normally will choose the nearest one."

Wendy realized she had asked a stupid question.

Henson brought Wendy back to the Charles family directly.

At the entrance, Wendy put on a cold face. She was reluctant to get off the car.

Henson was patient. He had made the third invitation. But Wendy still refused to come inside stubbornly. "Thank you. Please just send me home or back to the company."

"Your 'husband' lives here. How would you not live with him?"

Wendy rolled at Henson, "When will you stop this joke?"

"At the end of my life."

His whole life...

Wendy suddenly had an urge to ask him that "Do you know how long a life will be?"

Sorry, but he was not in her future plan.

Wendy just repeated her words again, "Please just send me home or back to the company."

Henson was confused. He turned around to stare at Wendy.

Then they just kept silent like that for about 10 minutes. Henson gave into to Wendy finally. Getting into the car again to back through the front gate, he brought Wendy back to the Big City community.

"It's almost 4 PM now. Forget about the company, and have a good rest."

"Thanks."

Henson helped her go upstairs.

Wendy was almost to forget to ask the dress thing. She pointed at herself and asked,"I heard that it is very expensive?"

"I only buy newly limited editions."

Shock choked Wendy's words for a while. Then she regained her sense. "It has been stained by coffee. I am afraid I can not get it as clean as before. So please go to find Lily for the compensation. I am very poor."

Henson caressed Wendy's head and said, "Stop your nonsense. Go to change your clothes and get some rest. Later in the evening, I will come back to see you."

After saying this, Henson headed out.

Wendy hurriedly replied, "I can take care of myself. You don't need come a long way to see me tonight."

Henson ignored her words.

After Henson left, Wendy remembered another important thing that she had forgotten to ask.

She patted her brain with upset. How could she never think straight when she was with Henson?

The moment when Henson want back to his office, He called Dayne.

"Find an excuse to get Joye to come to my office. Keep a low profile."

"Alright." Dayne was puzzled but he still did as Henson said. 

Ten minutes later, Joye showed up in his office. She greeted Henson respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Charles, I'm Joye."

"Do you know why I get you here?"

Joye was nervous. She did not know the answer. And she never expected to have the chance to meet him privately in her life.

"Sorry, I don’t know."

"Do you know the coffee thing happened in your department in the afternoon?"

Joye was puzzled.

But she still nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then tell me about it." said Henson.

Before saying it, Joye took a long breath.

Henson raised his eyebrows and asked, "So are you sure it was Lily that splashed coffee onto Wendy?"

"In fact, I didn't see it with my own eyes. But there were only them in the pantry at that time."

"Oh? Do yo know why Lily did that? "

Joye hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Charles, I have a guess. But... I'm not sure."

"You can just tell me your thoughts. I just want to know why Wendy has been bullied."

Hearing this, Joye immediately got that Wendy and Mr. Charles knew each other.

Joye then said, "During the past several days, a rumor says that our manager Johnson's mistress has been arranged into this company as a trainer. Then everyone has been guessing about it."

"Wendy wore an expensive new dress to the company today. So people thought Wendy was the mistress. I think that’s why Lily bullied Wendy."

Henson raised his eyebrows for this answer. The dress. Then he asked again, "But even it is true, why Lily did that?"

Joye exhaled and added, "Mr. Charles, because in fact Lily is also one of Johnson’s mistress. Everyone in the office knows about this. And that's also why they helped Lily that day. They are all afraid of being bullied by her ."

Henson laughed coldly for this. This Johnson was really a dandy.

"But why did you help Wendy?"

"Because I know Wendy wasn't Johnson's mistress.

"Oh? How do you know that?"

"Because I knew the real mistress. I happened to see Johnson buying a bag to the young girl. So I know Wendy was misunderstood."

"Then how dare you be against with Lily for Wendy?"

"I don't like Lily."

"Give me the reason."

"I was Lily's trainer before. But just because she became the mistress of Johnson, she then got promoted soon. She did not like me and always make me look bad. So I hated her."

Henson looked at Joyce. It seemed that he could use her as a help in this thing. So he said in a cold voice, "Alright, if anyone bullies Wendy anymore, you can come to report it to me. As a reward, I will offer you a promotion."

Joye was startled for a while.

Promotion？

"Alright, Mr. Charles."

"You should also find solid evidences to prove that Lily had really made mistakes on official matters. Then I can fire her with that. And you should remember that you should keep Wendy total out of this thing for the whole time."

Joye was pleasantly surprised. Even if she that Mr. Charles was using her to protect Wendy, she still felt so good about that plan. So she said happily, "Yes." 

"Alright, then go down to get Wendy’s phone to me. And you are free to go now."

Joye walking a few steps, something dawned on her. "Mr. Charles, was you on the phone to talk with me in this afternoon?"

"What? Isn't there a name on her phone ?"

Joye felt embarrassed to bring the topic up. She explained, "It isn't your name."

"What is that?"

"The rich third master."

What? Henson was confused.
