Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 7

Charlie Hogg opened a bottle of XO with the point of the knife.

Wendy Lim stared at the knife, "The knife..."

Charlie Hogg was swinging the knife skillfully with his fingers, and a smile flashed in his eyes. "This knife is really good. It was made in Switzerland. Great handle and very sharp blade."

"It's mine!" Wendy Lim was pretty sure.

She couldn't find it anywhere. It turned out that he took it!

Charlie Hogg withdrew his wrist, showing no intention of giving the knife back to her.

Their talk had already caught people’s attentions in the room. At this time, a slightly drunk man grinned and said, "That's easy. Take off your clothes if you want the knife!"

Wendy Lim froze.

The crowd burst into laughter. It was a game for the rich.

"We can help you to undress and throw you onto the street!"

Wendy Lim clenched her hands tightly until her joints turned to white. She looked at Charlie Hogg whose face was still indifferent and cold.

Charlie Hogg was staring at her at the same time. Colorful lights was shining in the room. Her expression was the same as when he met her for the first time in the Lim family. She looked like a lonely girl standing on a cliff, but her eyes were full of stubbornness.

Charlie Hogg was distracted for a moment.

Looking at Wendy Lim put her fingers on her button, he interrupted and said coldly, "Is it really that important? A broken knife?"

It was not a broken knife!

Wendy Lim retorted in her mind.

But how could a man like Charlie Hogg understand? She clenched her teeth. The jeering stares from people around her made her more awkward.

Simon Chin knew what Charlie Hogg thought. He gave a stern look to the slightly drunk man, stepped forward and said, "How about singing a song to liven us up?"

Wendy Lim felt ashamed because they took her as a plaything for joy. However, it was better to sing than to take off clothes!

She took over the microphone and looked at the projection screen. Then she sang without thinking, "Whoa~ whoa~ whoa~ whoa— Although my fate is bumpy, my road has twists and turns, and my life is sometimes beyond my control..."

She finished the song and there was silence in the room.

Simon Chin was digging his ears and asked with a painful look, "Hey, are you kidding me?"

Wendy Lim, who couldn't carry a tune, was very embarrassed to be questioned, T ve sung better than usual..." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Simon Chin was completely speechless.

"Drink this half bottle of wine."

Charlie Hogg, who had been silent for quite a long time, suddenly spoke.

Wendy Lim looked at the remaining half bottle of XO, gritted her teeth and said, "Will you give the knife back to me if I drink it?"

Charlie Hogg lit a cigarette slowly and nodded lightly.

Wendy Lim saw white smoke was coming out of his mouth and became hazy. She could vaguely see his cold lips twitched. She judged his words and made a decision in three seconds. She strode forward and took the bottle.

She looked up and said to him, "All people here are witnesses. Remember your promise!"

Wendy Lim was not a non-drinker, but she was a cheap drunk. It was the first time for her to drink such a strong wine.

The spicy feeling was spreading from her throat to her stomach. She could not drink any more after a few mouthfuls, but she did not put down the bottle. Instead, she gritted her teeth and continued to drink the rest of the wine. Her only thought was to get her knife back.

Simon Chin was a little shocked. "Charlie, this girl looks dull but really has guts!"

The wine was so strong that half a bottle was too much for a man, not mention a girl like Wendy Lim. Charlie Hogg’s eyes looked calm, but some lights accumulated in the deep.

It was not a big deal. He had seen more excessive behavior that she had done.

"I’m done!"

Wendy Lim put the bottle upside down, only few drops dropping down.

She wiped her mouth with her sleeve and looked at Charlie Hogg, "Can you return it to me now?"

Then her legs gave out and collapsed forward.
