Blake seemed to find it funny. She chuckled and said, "Why do you think so?"
Seeing that there's nothing wrong with Blake's look, the colleagues frankly told her the previous gossips.
"Wendy has a nickname called "Flower of Cardiac Surgery". I heard that even Dr. Torres, who was the top Prince Charming of the cardiac surgery department, wanted to pursue her. But Wendy is the cousin of Chris and Brian, and few people dare to take action. Later, I heard from an intern of the cardiac surgery department that Wendy was on the night shift with a hot guy who also invited them to breakfast. Wendy and that man were then very likely to become a couple!"
Blake pondered for a moment and said with simple curiosity. "Didn't Wendy tell you that Gavin was her brother?"
The others shook their heads and added, "However, I heard that Wendy dated the young master of Clark Enterprise later. So, the gossip at that time should be a misunderstanding."
Blake still felt that there was something wrong.
The reason why there was a misunderstanding was probably that there was a romantic involvement between them. Otherwise, the misunderstanding would not have happened for no reason.
Was there a romantic involvement between Wendy and Gavin?
Blake stopped herself from thinking about it, then dialed Gavin's number and asked softly, "Where are you?"
"The company." Gavin might have been reading some documents, and he answered in a businesslike manner, "I still have some business to deal with, and I need to work overtime."
"Well," Blake hesitated for a moment before asking in an adorable voice, "Could you please come to pick me up after you finish your work?"
Gavin was silent for a second and asked, "When will you get off work?"
Blake thought Gavin had agreed, so she said happily, "Half past five!"
"I may not finish it until six o'clock." Gavin was meticulous and thoughtful enough, but without feelings, as if he was talking to a partner who came from afar. "I'll let the driver pick you up, okay?"
Blake had always known that Gavin was very busy, and he hated it when others bothered him while working.
He picked up her phone at work and chatted with her for so long, which was probably his limit.
She hadn't been in the position for a long time yet, so she couldn't be willful.
"Okay." Blake smiled very obediently. "Then you go back to your own business. I have something else to do."
Gavin just replied with a "Hmm" and then hung up the phone.
Blake vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she really liked Gavin, so she would rather not dwell on it.
When Wendy saw Blake appear in the intern's office of the cardiac surgery department for the second time, she was not surprised. She handed the document completed by her and her colleagues to Blake and said with a smile, "It's done. You can check if there are any mistakes."
"I'll read it in the office." Blake looked at Wendy with her clear and beautiful eyes. "Are you off work now?"
Wendy nodded defenselessly, and then she heard Blake say, "Then let's go together. Your brother's driver will pick me up and Ill ask the driver to send you back in passing."
In front of so many colleagues, Wendy didn't want to embarrass Blake, so she had to go with the latter.
Gavin's driver had not arrived yet, and the two of them waited at the hospital gate. Wendy asked casually, "Will you go to meet Gavin, or go home?"
Wendy did not call Gavin brother, but called him by his name?
Blake hid her surprise very well and said with a slight smile, "I'll send you home first, and then I'll go to the company to look for Gavin."
As soon as she finished speaking, a white Land Rover stopped in front of them.
Blake got in the car, and when she sat down, she found that Wendy did not get in. She looked at Wendy in confusion.
Wendy waved her hand at Blake and said, "Go ahead to meet Gavin. I will just take a taxi back. If I delay your meeting, I will feel guilty."
She smiled mischievously, and then helped Blake close the car door, without giving her a chance to speak.
To be honest, she could be polite to Blake. But she didn't know how long she could maintain her politeness... She knew her temper too well...
Therefore, it was the wisest choice to deal with Blake less.
Blake could not force Wendy to get in the car, so she had to order the driver to drive.
Watching the white Land Rover disappear into the traffic stream, Wendy let out a long sigh of relief and walked towards the subway station.
She was in a bad mood now and decided to cram into the subway. She wanted to see if the crowd could help her drive her bad mood away.
Wendy wondered idly about the scene and walked slowly on the sidewalk. She was about to cross the road and enter the subway station when a silver-gray car suddenly braked and stopped in front of her.
She tried to bypass the car when the car door suddenly opened. Three young and strong men got out of the car.
For some reason, Wendy suddenly had a bad feeling and unconsciously sped up. However, after a few steps, the strange men who got out of the car seized her hand.
"Let me go!" Wendy shrieked subconsciously. "Who are you? I don't know you. Let me go!"
Wendy's sounds of fear and horror attracted the attention of passers-by. But the situation was not clear, and no one dared to help her. Most people just stood on the opposite side of the road and watched.
The man who had grabbed Wendy looked fierce. "You heartless bitch! Do you want to run away after cheating me of money? I'm telling you, if you don't return my money, I will make you suffer!"
Wendy tightly grabbed the iron pole of the street lamp, and she had already understood what she had encountered.
They must be either business rivals of Chris or Brian, or human traffickers.
No matter who they were, these people aimed to take her away. She was in danger.
She shouted at the passers-by, "I don't know them, and I don't need to cheat him of money. Please call the police!"
The man gave Wendy a hard shove, rudely and fiercely. "Are you pretending not to know me after using up my money? I must teach you a good lesson today!"
Wendy did not know if the passers-by would like to help her, but she was very clear that she could neither be afraid now nor be frightened by the strange man's momentum.
"Try touching me!" She stared coldly at the man who was pretending to hit her and warned him. "If you touch me, you'll never be able to live a good life!"
The man was stunned, and then violently pulled Wendy again.
No matter how stubborn Wendy was, she was never a match for those men in terms of strength. Her hands soon were separated from the iron pole of the street lamp little by little, and the door of the car was already close at hand.
In her eyes, the door was a Gate of Hell. Once she was taken into a car, she could not imagine what would happen to her.
At this time, calling either Gavin or Brian was useless. She could only seek help from passers-by.
Before Wendy could make a sound, she felt something pass by her cheeks. Then, with a bang, the man who was grabbing her was hit on his face, and she finally regained her freedom.
Wendy thought it was Gavin, but she saw an unfamiliar face when she looked at him.
Another two men got off the car, and joined in the battle against the stranger.
Wendy watched them from afar, with her hands trembling.
It was true that the stranger had helped her out for the time being, but she did not know him, either. She also had a reason to suspect that he was in league with those men.
He was not a sturdy man, but he was unexpectedly good at fighting. The few men who got off the car were defeated by him quickly, and then they got in the car and ran away.
He picked up the camera which was temporarily placed on the ground and walked toward Wendy. "Miss Moore."
Wendy kept retreating. "Don't come over! You are with those people. Don't think I will be fooled!"
She knew very well about the tricks of human traffickers. If the first group of people failed to kidnap her, someone would show up and pretend to be a good person.
When a girl lacked a sense of security, she would rely on the person who helped her out. Once she trusted the exact person and followed him, she would fall into the trap of human traffickers.
The strange man was stunned for a moment and then smiled. "My surname is Dui, and my first name is Fang. You can call me Xiao Fang, or you can call me by my full name."
"You don't have to be so wordy." Wendy took out her mobile phone and unlocked it quietly. "I won't trust you so easily."
The man made a gesture of surrender. "Okay, I am your brother's friend. I also know your cousin-in-law and cousin. So, can you trust me now?"
Wendy thought about it and took two steps back. "You are their business rival, aren't you?"
Brian and Chris, who stood at the top of the financial empire in Arlington, had only a few close friends Wendy might not know but must have heard of.
How could this young man with a camera hanging around his neck and looking like an otaku be their friend?
He must be their business rival. He wanted to threaten Brian or Chris with her!
"Miss..." Dui Fang gave Wendy a thumbs up and said, "I must praise you for your fancy!"
"What does this mean?"
Wendy was about to curse when her cell phone suddenly rang, and Gavin's number was displayed on the screen.
For no reason, she suddenly wanted to cry. She choked with sobs and picked up the phone. "Gavin..."
"I already knew about this." Gavin said, "You go with Dui Fang immediately."
Wendy looked at the strange man who was not far away from her and looked helpless. She asked doubtfully, "Is he really your friend?"
"Yes." Gavin softly comforted Wendy. "Don't be afraid. He won't hurt you. You go with him first. I will pick you up right away."
Wendy answered with an "Oh" and hung up the phone.
Dui Fang came over and asked, "So, can you trust me now?"
Wendy closed her lips and said, "I'm sorry for what I did just now. And, thank you."
"It doesn't matter. It's a good thing for girls to be cautious." Dui Fang said, "Let's go. Get in the car first. The situation is not very clear now, so I'm not sure if it's safe here."
Wendy unwillingly said, "I will call the police!"
She respected and was tolerant of others, but she didn't allow her rights to be violated!
Those men pulled her on the street and even tried to abduct her into the car. They had already violated her rights!
Dui Fang saw Wendy's serious look and couldn't help but smile. "Believe me, tell your cousin or cousin-in-law about this kind of thing and let them stand up for you. The result will satisfy you more than calling the police!"
Wendy did not react for a moment. "What do you mean?"
"It means that even if you're willing to forgive those guys, your brothers won't let them go so easily." Dui Fang said, "So, there is no need to call the police. Come with me first. I will take you to a safe place."
Wendy felt that what Dui Fang said was also reasonable, so she obediently followed him into the car.
She was too panicked to consider a very important question: Why did Dui Fang happen to meet her here and even recognize her as Gavin's sister?
