It was getting colder and colder, and the words "temperature" from the weather forecast were getting
more and more. Ye city was waiting for the first snow in winter and Poppi was waiting for an important
day.
On the other side, Celine went to see Celine every day, but the gap between them seemed to be
growing. Every time when she went there, Celine would ignore her and Poppi wouldn't have a chance
to talk to Celine.
On the other hand, Shirley had been flying here and there in the warm subtropical regions. She was so
busy that she had not seen Poppi recently.
However, Wendy never changed her attitude except when she mentioned about Barry. She didn't know
what Barry were busy lately, either. The two of them didn't seem to meet each other either. It seemed
that the 'staying out' of Barry was just a dream. During this period, Poppi only met Barry once in the
hospital. At that time, surprisedly, Barry did not sneer at her. Instead, he seemed to want to say
something, but hesitated.
There was no phone call from Hugh too
Was the Spring Festival coming soon so that everyone was too busy to find them? But it was okay as
long as Malcolm was there.
"Well, that's it for today's meeting. Hand in all your manuscript and contract tomorrow." In the magazine
office, Poppi held the meeting and announced, "let's go home! You can do it tomorrow. "
"Come on!"
"Goodbye, director!"
"Poppi, we are leaving now!"
The editing department greeted and left one after another. However, Wendy still walked in the end to
pick up things with Poppi. "Where are you going, Poppi? Or the dessert shop? "
Poppi nodded with pleasure and looked at her watch, then she said with a complacent smile, "yes. I'll
go to a cake shop before Malcolm gets off work. And I can learn how to make dessert. I haven't
mastered all of it yet."
Wendy covered her mouth and snickered, "then I will not bother Poppi anymore. I will go home first."
"All right. It's cold now and it's got dark early. You should go home earlier, Wendy. If you have anything,
just come back tomorrow." Poppi patted on Wendy's shoulder and said, "let's go!"
"Yes." Wendy nodded and took a deep look at Poppi before she turned around and left. She went back
to her seat, took off her hat and scarf and walked towards the door.
Out of the gate of the building, a gust of cold wind blew. However, she felt colder when she saw the
straight figure standing not far away.
Wendy paused and gazed blankly at Barry. She thought for a few seconds and turned to leave.
"Wendy, are you pretending that you don't know me?" Seeing that Wendy had changed her direction,
Barry rushed to catch up with her. He suddenly grabbed Wendy's arm and dragged her. "Come with
me."
"What are you doing?" Wendy struggled desperately, but failed to escape from his grip. Finally, she was
dragged to the front of the car.
Crack
The door on the passenger seat was suddenly opened from the inside. Wendy was shocked. After a
while, she recognized the person on the passenger seat, and it was an acquaintance. She couldn't help
but greet, "Hi, Miss. Celine."
"Wendy!" Celine greeted Wendy in a familiar voice, "Hurry up. It's too cold here Achoo! "
When Celine sneezed, Barry turned to Wendy and urged, "get in the car quickly. Don't let everyone wait
for you."
A strong sense of grievance rushed into Wendy's heart, but she restrained herself in front of Celine.
She pressed her lips and said to Barry, "Mr. Wei, I didn't ask you to wait for me, did I? Why do you ask
me to get in the car as soon as possible? I want to go home now. Enjoy yourself, Mr. Wei. "
"You..." Hearing what she said, Barry was speechless.
Upon seeing this, Celine immediately got out of the car, wearing thin clothes, in a sharp contrast to
Wendy. "Wendy, go upstairs. I'll take the back seat. Let's go together. I was supposed to have dinner
with Barry, but I thought of you and wanted to take you with me. You are a guest! Come and ask me. "
Oh, yeah, she was a guest. Since she was a guest, didn't she have the right to refuse?
While Wendy was lost in her thoughts, she was pushed by Celine into the car and grabbed by her arm.
Before she could get out of the car, Barry had already started the car.
"Hello..." Before she could stop, Wendy noticed Barry's displeased look from the rear-view mirror.
Wendy turned her head away to avoid the touch of Celine and said, "well, Poppi is still in the company.
We'd better wait for her to come down for dinner. Let's get off the car first and wait for her."
"I don't like Poppi. You know what? We are waiting for her? I'm not crazy. " Barry snorted, "and, Wendy,
since you are in my car, don't try to escape. Don't be disobedient."
"Ouch! Barry, don't be so mean to Wendy!" "Apologize to Wendy now!" Celine said like a spoiled child
"No, thanks." Wendy didn't dare to look up. She felt like a fifth wheel. Why did they have to drag her
into the car? She was so passive that she didn't even have a chance to refuse.
In the front, as Barry was driving, the blue veins on the back of his hand stood out due to his strong grip
on the steering wheel. He looked at the sullen Wendy quietly and felt like his heart was covered with a
layer of shadow. Why did Wendy refuse to see him? Damn
At the same time, in the meeting room of Pei group, Emily, George and a foreigner with blond hair and
blue eyes were having a confidential discussion. They were not even present in the translation or
assistant. The secret conversation had been going on for the whole afternoon. Looking at the sunset, it
is time for concluded the discussion.
"The Charlotte family is famous in the world, Miss Pei, you can rest assured." Then George raised his
hand and said to the foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, "Mr. Lawrence is the tenth generation heir
of the Charlotte family. His visit to Ye city this time will certainly bring us the biggest profit. I invited Mr.
Lawrence because he is my private friend. Otherwise, we won't even have the chance to meet him. "
Lawrence was a man in his forties. He had deep eyes and looked handsome. Besides, he had a good
figure. He wore a suit, so he looked very modest. He spoke Chinese in an inappropriate tone. "Miss.
Emily, I swear to the honor of the family of Charlotte family. What Mr. George said is correct. It doesn't
matter if Miss Pei doesn't want to cooperate with me, because we are friends! I like to make friends! "
Emily was still wearing a decent business suit, confident and calm. Emily deeply believed in what they
said.
The Charlotte family was a famous financial family a hundred years ago. No matter how the market
changed over the past hundred years, the family could know the wind and even have the ability to
impact the economic lifeline all over the world. Most of its descendants were engaged in the financial
industry, which was large and scattered in the city. And the enterprises that were connected with the
family must have the qualitative improvement.
"I'm glad to meet Mr. Lawrence, too." With a decent smile on her face, Emily hesitated for a moment
before saying, "it's just that this project is too huge, and our company would go bankrupt if we donate
money So, I need to think about it. " Then she quickly added, "but I think Mr. Lawrence's proposal is
very good! It's a rare opportunity. "
"It's my great honor to be recognized." Lawrence then replied in a polite manner.
"Are you taking care of the Pei group now, Miss Emily?" Then George asked, "I've heard that Miss
Emily's parents are coming to Ye city recently, but they haven't seen me. So I don't know what they are
busy with recently."
"My mother is not in good health, and my father has been accompanying her to recuperate. So even if
they return home, they rarely show up outside." Emily replied calmly, "I take care of the business of the
Pei group now."
Lawrence nodded in agreement. Then, George nodded and said, "Benson is working on the 3D
building. Otherwise, as the son-in-law of the Pei family, I am sure he will be here to help. You two
geniuses in business become a couple. Your children are going to be the talent in the future. "
Emily picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of coffee, without answering the question of
George.
They made small talk as it was getting late and were about to say goodbye.
"I'm going to invite Mr. Lawrence to dinner the other day." With a smile, Emily shook hands with
Lawrence and said, "I'm just your friend."
The members of the Charlotte family never talked business with others at dinner. For them, work was
work, and friendship was friendship.
"Of course!" Lawrence smiled, "I'm looking forward to meeting Miss Emily again. See you. "
"Okay, bye. Take care."
After sending George and Lawrence off, Emily was about to return to her office when her phone rang.
She took out her phone and found it was from Benson.
During this period of time, the number of contacts she had with Benson had reached the highest, but
most of the time, she had to accompany the two elders. When she received a call from Benson alone,
she still felt a strange surprise.
"Hello?" Calming herself down, Emily picked up the phone.
"Have you finished your work? I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Come down. " Benson's voice was still
so pleasant to hear, like a beam of warm sunshine in the cold winter.
"What? What are we going to do? " Asked Emily perplexedly.
"Don't you remember that your parents and I would have dinner with you tonight?" Then Benson asked,
"what are you doing lately? Hasn't your assistant reminded you of your schedule this afternoon?"
Emily rubbed her temple. "Oh, I remembered. I had too many things to remember. I'll go downstairs
right now! "
With no more words, Benson said, "okay."
