Chapter 436:Why Are You So Sad
Joey's sobbing gradually faded. And finally she fell into Duke's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at Duke
affectionately, "Duke, I really like you. I have never stopped thinking about you for five years. Never stopped. Do you still like
me?"
As long as he is a normal man, he will be moved when seeing his beloved woman looking at him like this.
Duke lowered his head slightly, and kissed Joey's lips, using his actions to prove it.
Fortunately, they are sitting in a courting chair, and the position is relatively off. No matter what they do, no one will think it is
strange.
But every time Duke kissed Joey, his heart would beat violently, heavily, suffocatingly, making him feel like he was doing
something wrong.
Joey was very active today, even more active than she was five years ago, and immediately erased the guilt in Duke's heart and
made him fascinated by the passionate kiss.
Only then did Duke thoroughly realize that even though his heart and eyes were blinded, his body had not forgotten the girl who
saved him.
——
Since then, Wendy hasn't seen Duke for half a month. As always, she could only see Duke on the 20th of every month. Even
Bruce, who was often with him, had no idea about where Duke was.
Wendy had no intention to work and sent a text message to Jamie who had recently returned to China and brought Bunny back.
Wendy felt happy when she thought of that cute kid.
She likes cute people or things. No one will dislike a kid as cute as Bunny.
Rubbing her eyes, Wendy stretched tiredly.
Having glanced at the time, she found that it was six o'clock, so after a while she left the company.
The company was still in the hands of her father, so Wendy's job was relatively easy. It took her five years to climb from the
grassroots to the position of general manager. The employees in the company are convinced of her.
Wendy's career has always been smooth, without much setbacks.
If there is any setback, it is not about work, but about love.
She was going to a dinner that night. Her father has just handed her the cooperation proposal with Lan's Enterprise. She went
there to negotiate the cooperation with Lan's Enterprise.
In fact, it was enough to send an assistant or secretary to negotiate, because the cooperation with Lan's enterprise was not
important, but after maintaining such a long cooperative relationship, they still had to give Lan's enterprise some respect.
At about seven o'clock, Wendy arrived at the Star Hotel, told the waiter in the lobby who was invited, and followed the waiter into
the elevator.
Actually Wendy didn't like the Lan family at all, but she knew that there is a clear distinction between business and privateness.
"Hello, Mr Lan." Wendy was polite and thoughtful, with a smile on her face.
"Isn't this Wendy? You have grown up." James Lan was surprised for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook hands with
Wendy with a smile on his face, and then arranged seats for everyone.
Although James hadn't seen Wendy for a long time, he always heard her father mention her and her impressive professional
experience.
In just five years, by virtue of her own ability, from a low-level employee to general manager, her ability should not be
underestimated.
They talked about cooperation first. At the beginning, James wanted to take advantage of Wendy's young age and her lack of
experience to suppress her. As a result, Wendy was not fooled at all and handled it very well.
Finally, they signed the contract before letting the waiter serve the food.
Wendy glanced at her watch and found that the conversation has lasted for an hour. Fortunately, she had already called her
home tonight so that the family wouldn't have to wait for her to eat.
After dinner, Wendy said goodbye to James and left the Star Hotel.
She drove from the underground garage of the Star Hotel, but Wendy stopped the car involuntarily as she passed the
commercial street.
A man and a woman are standing on the opposite road. The man is carrying a few brand-name bags in one hand and a sweet
and gentle-looking woman in the other. Walking on the street, neither of them speaks, but their sweetness and happiness can be
seen between their eyes.
The sight pierced Wendy's eyes deeply.
With her hands on the steering wheel tightening violently, Wendy blinked vigorously when she saw this loving couple in the
distance.
Did she not know that Duke liked Joey, or that the person Duke had been waiting for was Joey, or that Duke's favorite bride
candidate was only Joey?
But why is she still so sad when she knows everything?
Quietly watching Duke and Joey walk away, after a long time, Wendy blinked her dry eyes and drove away from here, as if
nothing had happened.
In fact, Wendy always knew that no matter who Duke liked or was with, it didn't matter to her, because she just had a secret love
for Duke.
...
Wendy's secret love was very restrained and calm. She only told Joey, so only Joey knew.
In other words, if she doesn't say it herself, no one can tell.
Since knowing that Joey came back, Wendy has rarely appeared in front of Duke again. Even the Garden, which she must go to
on the 20th of every month, has never been visited again.
It was not that she didn't want to get close to Duke, she wanted to see him, even at a glance, but after all, she was not the
person he liked. If she told the secret, their friendship would be broken.
But things went against everyone's wish.
Jamie was injured when shooting Moon's perfume advertisement. Wendy hurriedly ran to the hospital to visit him. It was lunch
time when she got downstairs to the hospital, so she packed a meal and took it up. .
By coincidence, she ran into Duke who came to the hospital with Joey.
After a few words of greeting, Wendy left here under the pretext of going to the bathroom. Unfortunately, Joey also followed.
"It's been so long, Wendy, didn't you miss me?" The smile on Joey's face was as sweet as ever, but inexplicably, there was a
touch of sullenness in those delicate and willful eyes.
Wendy couldn't tell people exactly, but she also had her own intuition and could vaguely feel Joey's change.
Joey's strong sense of worldliness was no longer like the delicate lady Wendy had known before.
"Sorry, we don't seem to be acquaintances." Wendy gave her a cold look, then reached under the automatic sensor faucet and
took a handful of water to wash her hands.
The smile on Joey's face froze, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Wendy and said sarcastically,
"Did you see me and Duke come here and follow us shamelessly?"
"You have a good imagination." Wendy's mouth twitched, and she marveled at Joey's imagination.
If she knew she would meet them here, she would definitely take a detour.
Joey snorted, folding her hands around her chest and looking at Wendy in a gesture of declaring her sovereignty. "Don't you
think I don't know your thoughts? Do you dare to say that you have no feelings for Duke?"
"So what? Do you dare to tell him?" Wendy shook the water from her hand, treating Joey as an idiot.
Wendy was always like this, and it was obvious that Joey knew that she liked Duke and would deliberately use this to make her
unhappy.
