Chapter 444: The Feeling of Losing Everything

Wendy scoffs softly and didn’t take to heart what he says. She will only do this in front of him. In front of Duke, she has always been an adorable and obedient persona.

“What’s image? Is it edible? Also, If I can’t get married, isn’t there you who my parents had accepted?” Wendy said casually as she turns on the television and picks a channel that she likes.

But she says it for fun because there is no love between them and that’s why they will not be together in the future.

Eddie was elated when Wendy said those words. Fireworks were bursting all over his heart.

Though he knew that she was just saying it, he had a feeling that he still had a chance.

…

Wendy stays at Eddie’s villa for several days. She didn’t go anywhere after taking leave and just stays at Eddie’s place eating and drinking. What a way to live!

Eddie is different from his normal behavior. He has always been a workaholic but now he leaves punctually after work. On his way home he would take back some snacks for her.

Wendy isn’t sure if it was an illusion but Eddie gives her a very familiar feeling. It’s not the familiarity of the past but it was he resembles a person close to her. It made her dizzy.

But she can’t figure out who Eddie resembled.

This day, Wendy and Eddie are on the sofa watching a recent popular TV drama. As they are watching they commented on the actor’s and actress’s attire and acting skills. They were no experts and yet they said as though they were.

At this point, the cell phone rings but Wendy is watching an exciting portion and nudges Eddie, “answer the call, it’s too noisy”.

Eddie placed the popcorn down and took a paper napkin. He pulls the telephone which fell into the gaps. He taps Wendy’s shoulder, “Your call.”

“Who is it?” Wendy looks at the screen and then back to the television, “hello?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Wendy, where are you now? The company is in trouble!” The troubled voice of the assistant can be heard over the phone and he describes the issue.

Wendy stands up from the sofa, “What did you say?”

“Okay, I’ll go over now, wait for me!” Wendy hangs up the call and turns to look for her bag and bedroom slippers.

“What happened?” Eddie looks at her expression and feels that something important had happened and asks.

“Something happened at the office and I need to go back. Where are my shoes and bag?!” Wendy threw around the cushions in search of her handbag.

“…” Eddie calmly picks up her bag from the corner of the table and hands it to her. Thereafter he kicks over the slippers to her front and consoles her, “Don’t be anxious, I’ll send you back, I guarantee that you’ll be back in ten minutes.”

“Okay.” Wendy anxiously nods and keeps her things into the bag and wears the bedroom slippers to change her clothes.

Downstairs, Eddie is already waiting and Wendy quickly runs over, changes her shoes, and follows him out of the villa.

As Eddie says, he is able to send her back to the office within ten minutes. As the car stops, Wendy hurries to open the door and goes down and says, “Thanks for sending me back and thanks for these few days, when the opportunity arises, I’ll give you a nice treat!”

Treat…

After these few days, Eddie is unable to bear Wendy’s change of attitude. But he knows that she is in a hurry, nods, and sees her walking into the building.

Eddie takes out the phone to call his assistant and let him check if anything happened to her company recently.

His assistant is able to find out very quickly and reports to him, “Director Charlies, recently Fortune enterprise has a project and it was yesterday that Lucky Enterprise sent out a similar business proposal and the same project. In the beginning, Lucky Enterprise didn’t meet the conditions to participate in this project but now they took out that business proposal, and that gave them the opportunity.”

Eddie’s eyes deepen, “Has the person in charge of the development plans approved it yet?”

“Not yet, there was a disagreement on a portion and Lucky enterprise doesn’t have a good solution. If that doesn’t work out, then Fortune enterprise will get the project.” The assistant continues to report.

“Tell that person in charge do not give the project to Lucky enterprise and can’t let Lucky enterprise partner with Fortune enterprise. If you can’t withdraw Lucky enterprise’s plans then block them.” Eddie ponders and instructs.

But Director, the resources that Lucky enterprise has far exceeds Fortune enterprise and its financial links was suddenly crippled…”

How did things take such a serious turn?

Eddie squints his eyes and tightens his grip on his phone. Lucky enterprise must have something to do with this.

“Director Charlies, it is said that the daughter of Lucky enterprise went to Fortune enterprise to become an assistant, could it be…”

“Okay, got it. Bring the laptop on my table and come look for me at Fortune enterprise.”

“Yes, Director Charlies.”

…

Fortune enterprise is now in the middle of a crisis. First, their business plan was stolen, then their financial resources were disrupted. In a flash Fortune enterprise slumps into a pit.

Wendy stands inside the building and the people are hurrying about. She feels surreal and her head is in a daze. She reaches out trying to grab a person to ask about the situation but she is shocked to see the people walking through her hands!

Wendy looks at her hands in surprise and found her mind increasingly muddled.

“Wendy…” a sweet voice comes from behind Wendy and she immediately turns to look. She sees Joey covered in blood walking towards her.”

“How does it feel to lose everything?” Joey’s smile is very strange and makes Wendy panic.

How come Joey has so much blood on her and why are the people walking through her hands? Where the hell is she?

The more she thinks the more she is confused. Joey already walks to her, reaches out, and grabs her hand. Her smile is ferocious and twisted, “Look, you finally have lost everything. Your company, the

man you loved the most, are all mine!”

“What did you say?” Wendy’s head is heavy and can’t understand her.

“Can you see my body covered in blood? This was caused by you, by you!” Joey forcibly pushed Wendy and laugh loudly.

Wendy is pushed to the ground and when she wants to stand up, she finds that her legs are too weak.

Her ears still have Joey’s laughter, each laugh is increasingly appalling…

“Not me, it wasn’t me!” In the quiet room, the person laying on the bed suddenly screams and then sit up rapidly.

Wendy takes several deep breaths and the dream continues to linger in her mind.
