Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 193

Wendy immediately snatched Henson's phone from his hands. "Don't you dare, Henson! Ian has a girlfriend already, he even showed us her pictures today. They've been in a good relationship since their university days," she explained.

He didn't seem convinced by that. "Well, it's not like he can't break up with her. That Ross of yours you liked had a girlfriend before too, but look what happened?" he huffed.

"How's this even an equal comparison? I've loved Big Bro Ross since I was a kid, while I know nothing about Ian apart from the fact that we work together. Plus, he's in a stable relationship with his girlfriend, so why are you badmouthing him for? Also, he's not my type because I like tall men," she explained.

His brows relaxed a little after hearing that. "The man's a dwarf?" he asked.

"No, he's around 1.78 m, maybe? That's kind of short to me," she replied.

He immediately raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Well, what do you think about MY height?" he probed.

"You're the cream of the crop in terms of height," she giggled.

Her nonchalant reply made him feel uneasy. "I hope you're not just saying that to appease me," he sulked.

"Of course not, just look at Gorman. You two are around the same height, no?" she said.

"I'm taller," he said and raised an eyebrow. "So, I should be better than him, right?" 

She didn't know how to reply to that and merely rolled her eyes at him. She was also disgusted at herself for bringing up Gorman. "Yes, yes," she answered.

This also made her realise how easy it was to coax Henson. It seemed like he was the type to ascend to heaven with just a few words of praise.

Even so, she rarely complimented him even after knowing that he'd be a happy boy for a whole day after receiving a few words of praise.

She found it odd after realising that she also applied the same principle to Gorman back then. 

Perhaps it was after she learned that people can change that she was more willing to compliment Henson more, even after refusing to do so for Gorman in the past.

It was apparent to her that her personality was slowly but surely starting to change on the inside.

It was lively, if not more this Friday afternoon than it was last week. 

Even without Cael in the office, Carmen was still giddy as she was excited to meet Henson later in the afternoon. 

As the new recruit for the Business Management Department, Ian naturally took over Cael's role. 

Fully armed with the privilege of being Henson's personal assistants, Carmen urged them to head to the basketball court early that day.
