Chapter 69
Wendy was pulled by Charlie all the way.
He walked in big steps, and she staggered from time to time behind him.
At this moment, her sleepiness had completely disappeared.
Wendy looked at the green certificate in her hand and then turned to his clearly defined face. She couldn't help biting her lips. This man really had magic power. He could even get her passport...
"Charlie, I'll be late for work..."
Wendy couldn't get rid of him, so she could only shake her hand that was tightly held by him.
Charlie stopped and turned around, then said to her, "Call and ask for a leave now."
"What?"
"Do you want me to do it for you?"
Seeing that he was really going to grab her phone, Wendy had to dial the number on her own, "Hello, this is Wendy. I have something urgent in my family. I want to ask for a week off..."
Although the supervisor was not very happy, he reluctantly agreed. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Charlie squinted at her, "You lied without flushing or panting."
"..." Wendy clenched her hands. She did these all because of him!
She tugged at her backpack belt and frowned, "I can't leave with you because I haven't told grandma yet..."
"I've told grandma yesterday, and she has agreed," Charlie said with a faint smile.
"..." Wendy widened her eyes.
Suddenly, she understood that the reason why he appeared in the ward yesterday...
Farr, who was in the front carrying a suitcase, turned back and nodded, "Mr. Hogg, please wait here for a moment with Miss Lim. I'm going to get the boarding passes!"
The passport in Wendy's hand was taken away.
"I forget to bring my ID card..." She intended to make the final desperate struggle.
Charlie snorted and took over her backpack. He opened it and easily found the ID card in her wallet.
Wendy lowered her head and thought, "Why does this man have such a keen observation?"
Five or six minutes later, Farr came back with the boarding passes.
"Let's go!"
Wendy followed him silently.
They were waiting for security check-in a long line, which might take a long time. Charlie looked at Wendy, who was holding a boarding pass behind him. He frowned and asked, "Why do you keep silent?" It seemed that ever since she got the boarding pass, she had never said anything.
After a long time, Wendy replied in a low voice, "I haven't taken a plane..."
To be honest, she would be a little embarrassed. It was hard to find a person who had never been on a plane.
However, she did not. On the one hand, after she left the Lim family, she and her grandma relied on each other for survival. She seldom traveled, even if she went on a trip, she would take a train most of the time. On the other hand, after her mother passed away when she was eight years old, she had a fear of heights...
Seeing her eyelashes tremble slightly, Charlie couldn't help smiling. When he opened his mouth again, his tone was softer than before, "You can follow me closely after the security check!"
"OK!" Her answer was more obedient than before.
In the following time, from the corner of his eye, Charlie saw that she was following him like a child.
When it was their turn to go through the security check, Wendy was stopped by a man in uniform. The reason was that there was a dangerous article in her backpack.
It turned out that the dangerous article was the knife wrapped in a handkerchief.
"You're still carrying it with you?" Charlie frowned.
Before Wendy could answer him, the security staff wearing a pair of white gloves had already taken over the blade. He said with a serious look, "I'm sorry, lady. This is a dangerous article. According to the flight safety regulations, you are not allowed to take this with you on the plane!"
"Then what should I do..." Wendy panicked.
Charlie walked over silently. He reached out his hand and took over the knife from the security staff.
Wendy thought that he was going to throw it away, so she shouted, "No!"
Charlie glanced at her and ordered Farr, who was standing behind, "Farr, go to check it out!"
"No problem!" Farr nodded.
Wendy let out a sigh of relief.
Because they had spent a long time in security check, not long after they entered the waiting room, the radio noticed that they would board.
In the first- class cabin, Wendy and Charlie sat together, and Farr sat behind them.
At the moment when Wendy sat down, she still felt a little absent-minded.
Did she really get on the plane like this?
The passengers next to her were all fastening their seat belts. Wendy looked at them for a while, but she didn't know how to do it.
Fortunately, there was guidance on the small screen. When she was learning carefully, the man next to her reached out his hands to help her to fasten the seat belt.
Wendy smelled him and said, "Thank you..."
Charlie wanted to tease her as usual, but he restrained himself from doing so when he saw her silly face.
After taxing for a while, the plane took off.
When the stewardess passed by Charlie raised his hand, "Can I have a glass of ice water?"
"Me too..." Wendy whispered.
When she reached out one hand to take the glass handed to her by the stewardess, the plane began to bump.
Wendy was shocked and her face turned pale.
The stewardess smiled to comfort her, "Lady, don't be afraid. We may have met some airflow, the plane will be a little bumpy. This is normal. No worries."
As soon as the stewardess finished, the seat belt sign flashed, and the radio reminded the passengers that the plane had met some airflow. Passengers needed to fasten the seat belt and don't walk around casually. If anyone was in the toilet, he should hold the handrail.
Wendy relaxed a little, but she still felt nervous.
She lowered her head and found that she was holding Charlie's hand tightly. Her face turned red immediately.
"Ugh, I'm sorry..."
Wendy was embarrassed by her gaffe and withdrew her hand quickly.
Charlie raised his eyebrows. "Are you afraid?"
"Now, I’m not..." Wendy licked her lips.
Charlie narrowed his deep eyes, and lights sparkled in his eyes. He said slowly, "There will be more turbulence soon."
"... Really?" Wendy couldn't conceal her nervousness in her voice.
She held his hand tightly again.
And she had not let go of his hand for quite a long time.
Charlie, who was holding a glass of water, caught a glimpse of the small hand tightly grasped the back of his hand. The corners of his lips were lifted up imperceptibly.
About ten hours later, the plane arrived.
Wendy followed Charlie out of the airport lobby. There was a car that had been arranged for picking them up. They sat in the car first, and Farr went to claim their luggage.
It was late at night, but the airport was lit up.
Previously, because she focused on the plane turbulence, she did not pay much attention to their destination.
At this moment, Wendy looked around and saw an eye-catching city name. Only then did she know that they came to New York, one of the most prosperous cities in America...
It was an international metropolis and also the world's economic center, and...
That man was here as well.
She involuntarily clenched her fists, and her eyes gradually became empty. A hot breath from the man next to her was approaching, "What are you thinking about?"
