NOVPUBChapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Pack your luggage and go with me_1 Chapter 1034 -1034: Pack your luggage and go with me_1 Lyke Zhekova strode over, directly grabbed Jacob Zahn’s shoulder, and flung him out.
Peggy Lewis saw what was happening through the peephole and quickly opened the door.
“Who’s there?” Jacob Zahn had not yet seen Lyke Zhekova.
As soon as he stabilized himself, he demanded in a furious tone.
It was only when he raised his head that he realized it was Lyke Zhekova.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Lyke Zhekova turned to see Peggy Lewis coming out.
Lyke Zhekova frowned, “Why did you come out?
...
Go back in and lock the door.”
Peggy Lewis shook her head, “With you here, he can’t hurt me.
I can’t just lock you out.”
Lyke Zhekova was touched by her trust, even a hint of dependence she hadn’t noticed herself.
He then gave Peggy Lewis a tender smile.
The presence of Lyke Zhekova and his smile filled Peggy Lewis’s heart with an unusual sense of security.
Seeing Lyke Zhekova there, Jacob Zahn knew there was no chance he could harm Peggy Lewis tonight.
Now that he had lost his job, he didn’t need to fear Lyke Zhekova.
But he also didn’t want to suffer a loss in front of Lyke Zhekova tonight.
His gaze wandered between Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis.
Without uttering a word, he immediately pressed the elevator button intending to leave.
After all, Lyke Zhekova couldn’t affect his professional interests anymore.
He didn’t feel the need to be wary of Lyke Zhekova.
But he had forgotten that if Lyke Zhekova wanted to, he could make sure Jacob Zahn never found work again.
Seeing that Jacob Zahn was about to flee, Lyke Zhekova turned to Peggy Lewis and said, “You go in first and lock the door.
I’ll be back soon.”
Peggy Lewis knew he was probably going to chase after Jacob Zahn.
“How about we let it go.” Peggy Lewis whispered.
“Are we going to let him keep harassing you?” Lyke Zhekova spoke in a low voice.
Although he had already arranged for someone to properly handle this matter concerning Jacob Zahn.
But now that he had encountered him and verified that Jacob Zahn really dared to come over intending to harm Peggy Lewis, how could Lyke Zhekova let him walk away just like that?
Any audacity must come at a price.
“We can deal with him later.
But I’m worried about you getting hurt if you go after him alone,” Peggy Lewis whispered.
Lyke Zhekova should be gratified that Peggy Lewis was showing concern for him.
And because she was worried, Peggy Lewis quickly grabbed Lyke Zhekova’s arm, forgetting about maintaining a proper distance between them like before.
But Lyke Zhekova wanted Peggy Lewis to know that dealing with a small fry like Jacob Zahn would not cause him any harm.
After all, he had been trained at the Lanarn Training Ground.
Even though his skills weren’t on the same level as those of the regular teams there, who were so skilled that they could take on world champions, he was nonetheless a product of the Lanarn Training Ground.
Not only could he handle Jacob Zahn but he wasn’t afraid of anyone with real skills either.
But seeing the worried look on Peggy Lewis’s face, Lyke Zhekova sighed.
He wondered, what would it matter if he personally taught Jacob Zahn a lesson?
Making Peggy Lewis feel secure was far more important.
Otherwise, he would seem like a hero rushing out to fight but have Peggy Lewis worrying and fearing for him.
This was not what a gentleman would do.
“Alright.” Lyke Zhekova reluctantly agreed, “I was just trying to stand up for you, didn’t intend to make you worry.”
Peggy Lewis sighed in relief.
Even if Lyke Zhekova wouldn’t get hurt, she would still worry.
Avoiding physical confrontation was the safest way.
Fearing that Lyke Zhekova might change his mind, Peggy Lewis quickly pulled Lyke Zhekova inside, “Let’s talk inside.”
At that moment, Lyke Zhekova turned back to see Jacob Zahn had left.
Once inside the elevator, Jacob Zahn seethed hatefully.
Peggy Lewis was such a liar!
She’d been saying that Lyke Zhekova was looking out for her and giving her business opportunities solely because of Cindy Clarke.
Those were lies!
Could Lyke Zhekova’s protection of her extend to her home just because of Cindy Clarke?
And moreover, considering the interaction between them just now, they were clearly familiar with each other, even behaving like they were more than just friends!
Looking at how furious Lyke Zhekova became when he showed up to see Peggy Lewis.
And how Peggy Lewis was worried about Lyke Zhekova!
Their relationship couldn’t be that simple!
Jacob Zahn had unconsciously exited the elevator.
But he did not leave.
Instead, he hid in the nearby stairwell.
Planning to wait until Lyke Zhekova had left before looking for Peggy Lewis again.
Unless Lyke Zhekova didn’t leave at all!
Jacob Zahn sat on the steps of the stairwell, swiping the floor absent-mindedly.
***
Lyke Zhekova entered Peggy Lewis’s house once again.
This time, he didn’t take his time but instead directly said to Peggy Lewis, “Get your stuff ready, follow me.”
“Huh?
Go where?” Peggy Lewis was taken aback.
“Given that Jacob Zahn has already shown up here, I can’t let you stay here alone,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“Just now Jacob Zahn looked like he was leaving, but what if he’s hiding downstairs?
What will you do if he comes back after I leave?” Lyke Zhekova asked.
“So, pack your things and come home with me,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“To your home?” Peggy Lewis quickly shook her head, “No need, honestly, I can go back to my parents’ house.
Or if it really comes to it, I can go to Cindy Clarke’s house.”
After all, Adrian Zhekova wasn’t around these days.
It would be convenient for her to stay there.
Lyke Zhekova was amused, and he even laughed out loud.
The laughter gave Peggy Lewis the chills; she instinctively shrank back, feeling as if she had made a mistake.
Yet, she didn’t know where she went wrong.
But Lyke Zhekova thought she was wrong.
Then she heard Lyke Zhekova say, “I said I would pick you up and drop you off for work, so it would be more convenient if you lived at my place.”
“You don’t want me to traverse half of Belfard just to pick you up, do you?”
“Of course, setting that aside.
How would you explain it to your parents if you decided to go back home?
Would you tell them about Jacob Zahn and make them worry?
If you didn’t tell them, it would be unusual for you to start living at your parents’ place after living alone.
Wouldn’t they worry?
If they ask you and you don’t tell them, wouldn’t that make them worry more?”
Peggy Lewis had only suggested going back to her parents’ home out of shock from Lyke Zhekova’s proposal.
If she could actually go back, she would have left today.
Peggy Lewis had realized this during the daytime, which is why she never mentioned going home to her parents’.
“As for staying at Cindy Clarke’s house, it’s not denied.
But how long can you stay there given that Adrian Zhekova will only be away for a few days?” Lyke Zhekova said.
Peggy Lewis: “…”
That was true.
“You come home with me for now, just for a few days.
Jacob Zahn’s behavior has me really worried.
I’ve already sent someone to handle the situation.
He won’t get another chance to bother you,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“But just as a precaution, you still need to stay with me for a few more days.
We have to ensure that he truly won’t bother you anymore,” Lyke Zhekova said.
