Chapter 245: Why Had Everything Changed?
Wendy looked at the comments and choked on the water she had just taken a sip on.
What in the world was this?
She and Michael went to a scenic spot for a day of fun and became an internet sensation?
Wendy exited the entertainment news and ran to Twitter to take a look. They accounted for five of the top ten trending searches.
Wendy clicked on a few of them and swiped through them randomly.
One of the posts had the group photo and a few lines of text. "I’m telling you, I was at Bayview yesterday, and Mr. and Mrs. Lucas had no pretensions and even took a photo with us. But Mr. Lucas’ drawing skills... hahaha!"
The comment section already had hundreds of thousands of discussions.
"Hahahahaha! Mr. Lucas’ drawing is really bad. When compared with Wendy’s, it looks like a kindergarten drawing."
"Mr. Lucas finally has one thing he’s not good at, so I’m relieved, otherwise I would have thought Mr. Lucas was a jack of all trades."
"Why does it matter if Mr. Lucas can’t draw? Mr. Lucas’ weakness is Wendy’s job."
"I would say they are a match made in heaven. Even their strengths and weaknesses are complementary. When will the Lord give me a complementary partner?"
"Don’t dream about it. You’re full of flaws. The person who can complement you hasn’t been born yet."
"I don’t know why I’m so happy to see Mr. Lucas and Mrs. Lucas getting better and better. I feel like I’ve become a fan of theirs."
Looking at the comments of admiration and praise, Wendy smiled.
However, there were happy people and unhappy people, such as Winnie. When she saw the news, she was so angry that she smashed her phone.
Another example was Christian.
Christian sat in his office chair and tapped his fingers on his desk. The sound of his fingers tapping on the surface of the desk sounded particularly jarring in the quiet office.
He looked at the computer screen with a sullen gaze and tightened his fingers one by one.
In the next second, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. Soon, the call was answered, and Christian said coldly, "Come into my office."
Zen walked into Christian’s office and said, "What can I do for you?"
"You will take over the task of suppressing the Collins Group," said Christian. "Within a month, I want Collins Group to have no way out."
"Collins Group?" Zen had not been involved with this matter before, but also heard about it, advised Christian, "Collins Group this year is indeed affected by the economic impact, but they are also in Lake City. The company is a large enterprise in Lake City.
"Since you went into custody, Michael has taken away most of DR’s clientele.
"At this time, if you tough it out with Collins Group, you’ll only end up as dead meat.
"In that case, won’t Michael be the one to get a big advantage?"
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Christian looked up at her and said word for word, "I just want results and you don’t have to worry about the money. Just tell me how much money you need."
"But where did you get that much money from?" Zen was very puzzled.
Christian said, "What? I still need to report my funds to you?"
"That’s not what I meant." Zen took a deep breath and said in a softer tone, "I’m just worried that the company can’t afford it."
Christian said, "No need for you to worry about it!" Christian waved his hand and said, "Get out!"
Wendy laid on the couch with a smile and scrolled through Twitter all morning.
After lunch, she planned to take her two kids to an amusement park in the afternoon.
Anyway, she had time since she wasn’t going to the office today.
Otherwise, when she started working tomorrow, she wouldn’t have time to play with her two kids again.
Leah and Jake were very happy to hear that they were going out to play. After lunch, Wendy changed their clothes.
Wendy drove the car herself, and both kids sat in the back. At that moment, the phone rang.
Wendy looked at it and saw that it was Zen calling. When she saw the caller ID, Wendy’s brows furrowed.
She hadn’t blamed Zen for the incident with the client earlier. Although her tactics were out of line, it was understandable to Wendy because to each their own. But this time, she bribed the doctor and deliberately sowed discord between her and Michael. This incident made Wendy feel estranged from Zen.
After a moment of hesitation, Wendy pressed the answer button.
"Wendy, it’s your day off. You’re not working, so come and hang out with me for a bit," Zen’s voice came through the phone. "It’s been a long time since we’ve been out together."
"Zen... "
Wendy wanted to ask her directly why she had paid off the doctor to sow discord between her and Michael, but Wendy would have preferred that Zen had said it herself, rather than her questioning it.
It was a pity as Wendy didn’t think her relationship with Zen would come to this point one day.
When they were in college, they were each other’s classmates, best friends, and had agreed to work hard together to establish themselves in Lake City.
At that time, they were innocent and simple. The friendship at that time was also sincere and unadulterated.
But what about now?
Why had everything changed?
With her eyes slightly lowered, Wendy had a bitter smile at the corners of her mouth.
Zen said, "What’s wrong?" When Zen heard Wendy call out her name without saying anything else, she was a bit puzzled and said, "You’re not still working overtime today, are you?"
Zen said with a smile, "There’s no need to work so hard. Would Mr. Lucas be willing to let you be so tired?"
"I’m taking Leah and Jake to the amusement park and we’re on our way," Wendy said indifferently.
"That’s good," said Zen. "I haven’t seen the two kids for a while, but when we were in college, we agreed that our kids would recognize us as godparents. I’m a godmother, but I haven’t even officially played with the two kids. Previously, you were injured and hospitalized and at that time, although I often saw the two children, I have not even said a few words to them properly."
"This... " Zen’s call was unexpected by Wendy.
"Is it inconvenient?" Zen’s voice was apologetic as she said, "Are you still mad at me?"
"Not really, so come over," said Wendy.
Wendy now knew that Zen could not be trusted and would be mindful of her.
After hanging up the phone, Wendy said to the two kids in the back seat, "Miss Zen wants to come play with us. Is that okay?"
"Yes, it’s more fun with more people." Leah’s eyes were sparkling, and she clapped her hands together as she said, "I haven’t seen Miss Zen in a long time."
Not long after Wendy arrived at the amusement park, Zen arrived.
"Wendy... " Zen smiled and walked up to her.
Wendy returned a smile and said, "You’re here so soon?"
