NOVPUBChapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Why Won’t You Admit It Yet?_1 Chapter 1040 -1040: Why Won’t You Admit It Yet?_1 Only then did Lyke Zhekova notice that Peggy Lewis, with her faint makeup, didn’t seem to look very different from her bare face.
Her skin was good, so even with foundation, if you didn’t look carefully, you couldn’t see any traces of it.
The only noticeable difference was that her eyebrows looked a little more refined than before.
Peggy Lewis’ eyebrows were already thick, they were quite noticeable even without filling in.
Only Lyke Zhekova, who was always observant, could notice these subtle changes.
The most significant difference was that her lip color was brighter.
Brighter than her natural lip color.
...
Perhaps it was because Peggy Lewis’s bare face and light makeup looked almost the same, so Lyke Zhekova didn’t notice when he went back to her place last night.
By that time, Peggy Lewis was already barefaced, but he didn’t take notice.
It was only this morning, after Peggy Lewis had fully applied her makeup, that he realized it.
Indeed, the difference between Peggy Lewis’s appearance before and after makeup was too subtle.
“Let’s go,” Lyke Zhekova chuckled.
Then, the two of them left the house together.
A sense of convenience swept over Lyke Zhekova once again, setting out together in the morning was indeed very convenient.
He didn’t have to make the effort to go over to Peggy Lewis’s place anymore.
As usual, Lyke Zhekova parked his car not far from the entrance of Realforce Corp.
Just before Peggy Lewis got out of the car, Lyke Zhekova said, “I’ll pick you up tonight.”
“Sure.” Peggy Lewis waved at Lyke Zhekova, “See you tonight.”
Lyke Zhekova loved hearing those words so he immediately replied, “See you tonight.”
Peggy Lewis had walked a few steps away before Lyke Zhekova called Wallace Martin, “How is it?
Has Jacob Zahn sent the picture yet?”
“It’s been sent.
Our guy saw him send it,” Wallace Martin replied.
“Good.”
Lyke Zhekova was pleased, but he had no idea about Jacob Zahn’s struggle.
As for keeping an eye on Jacob Zahn’s matter, Wallace Martin didn’t need to do it himself, he just had to instruct his subordinates to handle it.
Therefore, after receiving the order from Lyke Zhekova last night, he had given the task to his subordinates.
Keeping an eye on Jacob Zahn’s photo sending was just a minor matter.
After the order was given, Wallace Martin went to rest.
Wallace Martin’s subordinates weren’t tired either.
There were many of them, each taking turns to stand guard and rest, not interfering with anything at all.
Jacob Zahn, on the other hand, was quite miserable.
No matter who was watching him, they would not allow him to sleep.
He couldn’t even close his eyes.
All night long, Jacob Zahn just sat on the stiff chair.
As soon as his eyelids drooped slightly, he was awakened.
They monitored him like this until the morning, watching him send the picture to Realforce, just like a night watchman.
Jacob Zahn, feeling perplexed, had planned to use this picture as proof that what he said was true.
Peggy Lewis had indeed earned this many opportunities by being with Lyke Zhekova, and it has nothing to do with her so-called best friend, Cindy Clarke.
Logically, it should be an alarming matter for Peggy Lewis.
However, Lyke Zhekova’s people seemed to insist on watching him send the photo, as if sending it would be beneficial to Lyke Zhekova.
This made Jacob Zahn utterly confused.
He even changed his mind and was somewhat reluctant to send the photo.
No matter what, adhering to it definitely won’t bring any benefits.
However, obviously, they would not allow him to do so.
They insisted on watching him send the picture before they would let him go.
Jacob Zahn, you don’t even dare to report them for kidnapping.
In fact, they didn’t kidnap him.
They simply invited Jacob Zahn to a private room in the Restaurant.
They took good care of him in a comfortable environment.
They just didn’t let him sleep.
Wallace Martin even heartlessly ordered a lot of dishes, all with extremely delicious smell, making mouths water.
Even if you’re not hungry, even if you’ve just eaten, it makes you want to have some as a midnight snack.
What’s more outrageous is that they kept an eye on the temperature as well.
Once the dishes cooled down and didn’t look appetizing anymore, they would replace them with freshly cooked ones.
After all, the Restaurant was Majestic’s, they could still serve them even outside business hours.
Although they didn’t let him eat, the scene looked like they had a full-range meal in place for him.
If Jacob Zahn were to report them for kidnapping,
Who would believe him!
They kept Jacob Zahn stuffed up like this until the morning, the time when all major companies start work.
Jacob Zahn felt he was on the verge of collapse.
He hurriedly sent the picture according to their instructions.
All he wanted was to find something to eat after leaving.
He was starving and craving for food! 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Meanwhile, when Peggy Lewis came to the company, she felt something strange about the way everyone was looking at her.
“Laughing Cloud.” It was Rose Lopez again, who, despite being confronted by Peggy Lewis yesterday, was still warm and cozy, linking arms with Peggy Lewis.
Peggy Lewis gave a smile, puzzled in her heart.
She caught a glimpse of several colleagues looking at their mobile phones.
This wasn’t really a strange thing.
Nowadays, people are constantly on their phones and becoming ‘phubbers’.
“Laughing Cloud, you’re really not being considerate,” Rose Lopez said again.
“What?” Peggy Lewis looked bewildered, “What do you mean not considerate?
What are you talking about?”
“You’re playing dumb with me.” Rose Lopez looked like she wanted to get mad, but remembering Peggy’s relationship with Lyke Zhekova, she dared not take it out on Peggy Lewis.
She could only suppress her feelings.
Her face twitched as a result of this suppression, so she simply showed her the phone directly: “Look, there are pictures of you and Lyke Zhekova.”
“When I asked you yesterday at noon, you denied it and insisted it was because of your best friend that Lyke Zhekova took extra care of you,” Rose Lopez smirked, “I knew it, even if it’s because of her best friend, there wouldn’t be such intensive care.”
“Looking at the picture, the relationship between you two is definitely not ordinary.” Rose Lopez zoomed in to show Peggy, afraid that she wouldn’t see clearly, “Lyke Zhekova is dragging a suitcase, where were you guys going?”
“Hey, something’s not right, where is this?
The background looks like it’s in a residential building.” Rose Lopez asked, “Could this be in your home?”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Rose Lopez then patted Peggy Lewis’s back: “Laughing Cloud, this is really not very considerate of you.”
“You and Lyke Zhekova are so close, why won’t you admit it?
Are you two dating?”
Because of Cindy Clarke’s existence, Rose Lopez didn’t suspect that Peggy Lewis and Lyke Zhekova had an illicit relationship.
She could have gotten to know him through her best friend.
This was really something to be envious of.
Why didn’t she have such a good best friend.
Peggy Lewis was at a loss as to how she should explain.
With the picture in place, the more she tried to explain, the deeper the hole she dug for herself.
She couldn’t explain it at all.
The more she tried to explain, the more she would be accused of trying to cover up.
Peggy Lewis could only pretend to take a call, putting the mobile phone to her ear: “Hello?
Hi.”
She then silently apologized to Rose Lopez and smiled, indicating that she had to go aside to take the call.
She quickly pretended to be on a phone call and walked up to the elevator.
