NOVPUBChapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Every Sentence Seems to Make Sense_1 Chapter 1032 -1032: Every Sentence Seems to Make Sense_1 “If you absolutely have to attend a function at night, tell me where it is and I will pick you up.
In any case, you mustn’t be left alone,” Lyke Zhekova said.
He didn’t even give Peggy Lewis a chance to speak and arranged everything clearly for her.
Peggy tried several times to interject, but was unable to.
Lyke Zhekova was quite impressive.
This was the first time Peggy realized that Lyke could also be so eloquent.
Finally, it seemed that Lyke had finished talking.
...
Peggy then said, “Isn’t this a bit overkill?”
Did it seem like making a mountain out of a molehill?
Especially having Lyke personally pick her up and drop her off.
It was as if he was her personal chauffeur.
However, the weight of having Lyke as her chauffeur was quite overpowering.
“This matter concerns your personal safety.
How could we not treat it seriously?” Lyke Zhekova replied, “I don’t think we’re overreacting.
We have to be serious and thorough and cannot let our guard down.
Only then can you feel safe.”
“Besides, we can’t report this to the police.
After all, if we were to nitpick Jacob Zahn’s words, they could hardly count as a threat.
It’s only based on his tone, the situation at that time, and his character that we came to such a conclusion.”
“He hasn’t actually done anything tangible, and even if we reported him to the police, they wouldn’t accept the case.
We can only be extra careful.
Hence, we have to be prepared.”
“Only by taking it seriously can we better protect ourselves,” Lyke Zhekova said.
In fact, Lyke was considering whether to use this opportunity to have Peggy live in his home.
However, he knew that Peggy would definitely not agree.
Of course, he was not worried that Jacob Zahn would harm Peggy at her house.
He would have someone deal with Jacob Zahn’s issue tomorrow.
He would guarantee that Jacob Zahn won’t have any chance to harass Peggy.
However, Lyke did not plan to tell Peggy about this plan.
After all, he wanted to use this opportunity to drive Peggy to and from work.
If Peggy knew that Jacob Zahn was taken care of, he wouldn’t have this opportunity anymore.
As for having Peggy move into his home, that could wait for another opportunity.
After all, opportunities would surely come.
Wasn’t this the perfect chance to pick up and drop off Peggy?
“But I feel like I’m bothering you too much,” Peggy Lewis said.
Lyke Zhekova suddenly spoke seriously, “Peggy.”
“Yes,” Peggy Lewis immediately answered.
Because when Lyke became serious, Peggy felt nervous.
When she was nervous, she often ended up responding reflexively.
This response made Lyke’s mouth twitch.
He sighed and then said, “Aren’t we friends?
Why would my doing this be a bother?”
“Would you be so formal with Cindy Clarke?” Lyke asked.
Peggy thought, definitely not.
Her friendship with Cindy was based on many years of mutual support through hardships.
Peggy let out a sigh and said, “Then I won’t be so formal with you.”
“That’s more like it,” Lyke nodded approvingly.
Hence, Peggy agreed to let Lyke pick her up and drop her off for work every day in a daze.
And to accompany her during overtime.
And to pick her up from any functions she needed to attend.
It was precisely what a boyfriend would do for his girlfriend.
Even a boyfriend might not take care of his girlfriend to this extent.
Since Lyke was there to send her off, of course, she couldn’t let him leave on an empty stomach.
But constantly dining out didn’t seem quite right either.
However, Lyke already knew about Peggy’s cooking skills.
Therefore, he wouldn’t ask her to cook.
When the car arrived at the base of Peggy’s apartment building, Lyke said, “Let’s not go out to eat.”
Seeing Peggy’s confused expression, Lyke said, “Let’s order takeout instead.
I think eating at home would be more comfortable.”
Upon hearing this, Peggy let out a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, “Alright, alright.”
So, after they got home, Peggy started to order takeout.
Seeing this, Lyke said, “Don’t bother, I’ll just have the restaurant from my company send us something.”
There were many chain restaurants throughout Pingla.
Although none of them, except the hotpot restaurant, were very close, they weren’t too far away either.
Even if they were somewhat far and outside the delivery range of the takeout app,
if Lyke asked the restaurant staff to deliver the food, it would actually arrive faster than a delivery guy.
After all, the delivery guy had to deliver to several houses at once.
Going around to each house would indeed take a lot of time.
This is why, despite the fact that under normal circumstances, it would take only half an hour, the estimated delivery time on the app is an hour.
Lyke, of course, wasn’t just limited to ordering from restaurants owned by Majestic.
He would alternate between restaurants all over Pingla.
After all, from now on, he would be dining with Peggy every day.
They couldn’t simply go to the same few restaurants over and over again, could they?
Upon hearing this, Peggy said, “That can’t be.
You’re already driving me to and from work.
You have to accompany me when I work overtime, and pick me up when I have functions.”
Peggy suddenly paused.
She realized that Lyke was even busier at work.
What if it’s his turn to work overtime?
But that could wait.
She’d figure it out later.
Lyke was so reliable in handling things, surely he would have a plan in place.
Therefore, Peggy continued, “So I should treat you to dinner.”
Lyke said, “Forget about dinner.”
Wouldn’t that be adding financial strain to Peggy?
Dining for two would cost significantly more than dining for one.
“If you want to express your gratitude, why not handle breakfast instead?” Lyke suggested.
“Huh?” Peggy had not expected this.
Did Lyke mean that he would also be coming over to have breakfast from now on?
Lyke nodded, “Didn’t you just say that you didn’t know how to express your gratitude to me?”
“After giving it some thought, I think this is a good solution,” Lyke said.
“If you were to give me something expensive, I’d feel uncomfortable accepting it.
But you can’t just dismiss my help.
If you take care of my breakfast from now on, it would show your sincerity.
I don’t think it should cause you too much trouble to do so,” Lyke said.
Besides, breakfast is a simple meal, unlike dinner.
A few slices of bread, an egg, some milk and she’d be full.
There’s no need for Peggy to spend too much.
Peggy nodded in agreement to Lyke’s words.
Breakfast was indeed not difficult.
She would only have to cook if she were to fry an egg or boil one.
The bread was readily available at the convenience store.
At most, she would just have to spread some jam or peanut butter on it.
If she wanted to add more, she could include some lettuce or ham which, indeed, was quite simple.
Even a clumsy person could manage.
But then, Peggy paused.
She felt that every sentence Lyke said seemed to make sense.
