The scenes of Lyke approaching her earlier kept flashing through her mind.
How could Peggy Lewis sleep?
She was too timid to ask directly.
Peggy Lewis lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She thought about talking to Cindy Clarke, but for some reason, it was hard to put into words.
She didn’t know how to tell Cindy that she was now living in Lyke’s uncle’s house.
...
She reached for her mobile phone, only to put it down again.
With no other choice, she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.
Lyke Zhekova went to his bedroom as well.
He didn’t sleep, but was reading a book instead.
Whether he was able to focus on it was another matter.
Anyway, he hadn’t turned a page for a long time.
He didn’t sleep because he couldn’t.
Apart from the fact that Peggy Lewis was just next door, he was waiting for a phone call.
After a while, Lyke received a call from Wallace Martin.
“CEO, everything is settled,” said Wallace.
“Jacob Zahn won’t bother Miss Lewis anymore,” Wallace continued, “But, we’ve made a new discovery in his mobile phone.”
“What discovery?” Lyke asked.
“Some photos in his mobile phone,” Wallace answered, “They are photos of you and Miss Lewis.
You were dragging a suitcase, walking with Miss Lewis, the background looks like a residential building.”
Hearing this, Lyke immediately understood what had happened.
Jacob Zahn must have remained hidden in Peggy’s building when they left, and took the pictures.
Lyke was thankful that he decided to bring Peggy back then.
He had a feeling that Jacob wouldn’t leave so easily.
“I asked Jacob Zahn, and he believes that you and Miss Lewis are having an improper relationship,” said Wallace, “Didn’t the company receive some photos of him accompanying clients today?
A lot of people at the company look down on him.”
“So, he wanted to pay back in kind by doing the same thing, sending those photos of you two to the company’s email,” and Jacob knew the emails of the company, “to prove to the company that what he said was true.”
“Tsk!” Lyke scoffed, “How can we be compared to him.”
“Yes, of course,” Wallace hastily agreed, “You and Miss Lewis are in a serious relationship to marry.
You are sincerely pursuing Miss Lewis.”
Lyke: “!”
Lyke had never admitted this to Wallace before.
From his perspective, he always let Wallace know that Peggy had feelings for him as well.
But now, hearing Wallace say this, Lyke found no words to argue.
After struggling for a few seconds, Lyke said: “You’re right.”
“Yes, taking care of one’s girlfriend, you’re going to give the business to Rui Shi anyway, so what’s wrong with giving the business to your own girlfriend?” Wallace said again.
“You’re right,” Lyke agreed wholeheartedly.
“What about those photos…” Wallace asked again.
He was still with Jacob, not leaving.
Jacob was being watched by his men, and he was on the phone with Lyke outside.
Wallace intuitively thought that Lyke would want people to know about the photos.
But even though he suspected this, he couldn’t really make a decision without asking, right?
“Are there any left in Jacob Zahn’s mobile phone?” Asked Lyke.
Upon hearing this, Wallace knew his guess was right.
“Yes, I haven’t dealt with them, I wanted to ask for your opinion first,” said Wallace.
Lyke nodded and said, “Then leave it be, let him send them.”
He and Peggy couldn’t keep their relationship a secret forever.
He also wanted to pursue her openly.
“Keep a close eye on him,” Lyke added, “After he sends them, erase all the photos in his mobile phone and make sure he doesn’t have anything else in his possession.
Don’t let him misuse the photos later.”
“Understood,” Wallace replied.
After hanging up the phone, Wallace sighed.
He really was serving as an assistant at work, and a heavy hand after work.
So busy!
Only he could be such a versatile assistant.
If it was someone else, who could handle it?
Lyke having him as an assistant was truly a blessing from several lifetimes.
After getting the result, Lyke finally went to sleep.
***
Peggy Lewis didn’t know when she finally fell asleep.
Anyway, she kept her eyes closed and forced herself to sleep.
When she woke up, it was to the sound of the alarm she had set on her mobile phone.
Peggy had purposely set the alarm to wake her up half an hour earlier than usual the night before.
Lyke had kindly taken her in, picking her up and dropping her off.
Before she had agreed to move in, Lyke had suggested that she could make breakfast as a form of repayment.
Now that she had moved in, she had to take responsibility for making breakfast.
Having moved to a new place, Peggy was a bit uncomfortable with the new bed.
So as soon as the alarm went off, she woke up without any struggle.
As she looked at the ceiling, she was somewhat confused for a moment.
Her home didn’t have such a high ceiling.
Especially her small duplex, although it was considered a duplex, the ceiling wasn’t very high.
The second-floor ceiling was rather low, and not as spacious.
Peggy stared blankly for a while before remembering that she had moved into Lyke’s house.
It was incredible to think about.
She was actually living with Lyke.
Peggy got up, went to the restroom to freshen up, then directly headed to the kitchen in her pajamas.
The refrigerator in Lyke’s house was well-stocked.
There were all the necessary ingredients for breakfast in the fridge.
Peggy took out some toast and a few eggs from the fridge.
Seeing that there was mayonnaise in the fridge, she also took it out.
She remembered Lyke saying that he didn’t cook.
But his house had a surprisingly complete set of small appliances.
Even a toaster.
Peggy toasted a few slices of bread.
While toasting, she boiled the eggs, chopped them into small pieces, and mixed them with mayonnaise.
She learned this from watching Midnight Diner.
At the time, the recipe seemed simple and easy to follow.
Even someone as clumsy as her could do it.
There was no need for any special skills, except boiling eggs; there wasn’t even a need for a stovetop.
No need for seasoning, just mix with mayonnaise.
It was a quick and easy breakfast that anyone, even a lazy beginner, could make.
When the toast was done, she spread the mayo-mixed chopped boiled eggs on it, put two slices together, cut off the edges and then cut it in half into four small triangles.
Peggy didn’t waste the edges of the toast.
She was munching on them while preparing the rest.
If Cindy were here, she would definitely roast these into crunchy toast sticks.
Peggy knew how to do it too, because she had tasted those made by Cindy before.
