NOVPUBChapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Humble, I Understand_1 Chapter 1041 -1041: Humble, I Understand_1 Unexpectedly, CEO Lewis was also present.
CEO Lewis was riding the executive’s exclusive elevator.
An access card was required to enter it.
“Peggy!” Upon noticing Peggy Lewis, a smile immediately spread across the CEO’s face.
“CEO Lewis.” Peggy walked over, reluctantly putting down her mobile phone.
“Come, ride this elevator with me.” CEO Lewis warmly invited her.
“…” Peggy speculated that CEO Lewis must have seen the photo.
...
“CEO Lewis, I…” Peggy felt she should explain the situation to him.
Otherwise, if he misunderstood and believed she had a significant influence over Lyke Zhekova…
If he made many requests for her to relay to Lyke, it would not end well.
However, CEO Lewis did not let her explain: “I understand, you don’t need to say it.
I know you are low-key, keep it up.”
Peggy: “…”
No, CEO Lewis, you don’t understand.
At this moment, the doors of the staff elevator opened.
Peggy really did not want to share an elevator with CEO Lewis.
As an ordinary employee, taking the executives’ elevator would be too conspicuous.
Even the managers are not allowed to use it.
She just wanted to head to the staff elevator.
However, after everyone rushed in, they all stared at Peggy.
Instantly, Peggy felt like she was about to enter a wolf’s den.
If she went in, she would definitely face a barrage of gossip-filled questions.
Compared to them, it might be better to share an elevator directly with CEO Lewis.
Though CEO Lewis may have misunderstood, at least he would not ask about it directly.
He even claimed “he understands”.
From this comparison, Peggy would actually prefer to share an elevator with CEO Lewis.
So, Peggy had to smile and say to CEO Lewis, “I guess I will bask in your light.”
“Hey, don’t be formal with me.” CEO Lewis said laughingly as he got into the elevator with Peggy.
CEO Lewis was able to keep his cool.
Even if he had many questions in his mind, he still suppressed them without asking.
Under CEO Lewis’s gaze, Peggy did not dare to check her email.
Upon reaching their floor, the elevator stopped, and Peggy said to CEO Lewis, “CEO Lewis, I’ve reached my floor, thank you.”
“Hey, like I said, there’s no need to be this formal.” CEO Lewis replied laughingly and bid Peggy goodbye.
Peggy exited the elevator and exhaled.
She arrived at the Business Department.
The people in the Business Department didn’t dare to ask her.
As for Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst, they had known about it long ago.
Today, after seeing the photo, they have a clearer understanding.
So, they did not question her.
Peggy opened her mailbox to see the photos, it was not surprising.
Compared to the ones with Jacob Zahn, they presented a different flavor.
Hers looked more like paparazzi shots of celebrities on their dates.
Without a doubt, these were taken by Jacob Zahn.
Moreover, Peggy immediately recognized the location in the photos.
The lobby on the first floor of her apartment building.
From the angle and direction of the photos, Jacob Zahn must have hidden in the stairwell after Lyke chased him out last night.
He probably wanted to cause more trouble for her after Lyke had left.
But he did not expect that Lyke would help her move out immediately.
He did not give Jacob Zahn another chance to cause trouble.
Peggy felt fortunate, thankful for Lyke’s thoughtful arrangements.
He had anticipated Jacob Zahn’s intentions.
Otherwise, she would still be troubled by Jacob Zahn.
Peggy sent a message to Lyke on WhatsApp and told him about the situation.
“I’m sorry, I caused trouble for you,” Peggy said, “Has he sent the photos to your company too?”
Lyke looked at the photos in his email, feeling very pleased.
Seeing Peggy’s question, he quickly started typing: “He sent them to my company too.”
Of course, the person who sent the photos was Wallace Martin, at Lyke’s request.
They all couldn’t let only Peggy to spread the rumors in Majestic Corporation.
At Majestic Corporation, he also needed to establish a reputation of his own.
He wanted everyone to know he too was taken.
Peggy was surprised, wondering how Jacob Zahn had the nerve to send the photos to Majestic Corporation.
“What did the people at your company say?
I’m sorry for causing all this trouble for you,” Peggy said, sighing heavily as she looked at the phone. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
“Don’t worry about it.
A little bit of gossip like this won’t harm me, a man,” Lyke felt that text messages could lead to misunderstandings, so he decided to call Peggy instead.
Right at this moment, Wallace Martin came in and said to Lyke, “CEO, there is a meeting at 10.”
Wallace Martin glanced at the time: “In 10 minutes.”
“Okay, if I haven’t finished my call, let them wait for a while,” Lyke said.
Wallace Martin: “…”
It is clear who he is on the phone with.
Wallace Martin acknowledged and left the room.
Only then did Lyke dial Peggy’s number.
Peggy was in the midst of replying to Lyke’s messages.
Before she could finish, Lyke’s call came in.
Peggy immediately picked up her phone and went outside to answer the call.
“Hello,” Peggy answered, “Did Jacob Zahn send photos to your company, too?”
“Yes,” Lyke responded, “He just sent them.”
“It seems he sent it to Majestic Corporation after sending it to my company,” Peggy sighed, “When I just arrived at the company, I noticed the strange gaze from everyone.”
Upon hearing this, Lyke’s tone became more serious: “What, they are looking at you inappropriately again?
Are they thinking about disgusting things again?”
“Not really,” Peggy responded, “This time they didn’t take it the wrong way.
They simply…
majority of them think I am together with you…
with you…”
Peggy was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.
“Together with me doing what?” Lyke guessed Peggy’s meaning, but he pretended not to understand, wanting her to admit it.
Peggy felt her face burning; it was as if smoke was about to come off her cheeks.
She plucked up her courage and said, “They thought we are seeing each other.
I don’t know how to clarify to them, even if I do, they won’t believe me.
They even think I am pretending, not being honest.”
“What do people at your company think?” Peggy asked.
“I have no idea because nobody dared to gossip with me,” Lyke laughed lightly.
Peggy: “…”
It’s really nice to be the boss.
“Don’t worry, I will get Wallace Martin to check it out,” Lyke said.
Peggy: “…”
That’s not really necessary.
“However, since your company has misunderstood, shouldn’t we do something about it?
Otherwise, we would be carrying an unwarranted reputation,” Lyke said with a light chuckle.
“What?” Peggy was stunned.
What does that mean?
Just as Peggy was bewildered, Lyke said, “Peggy, I have to rush to a meeting, let’s talk more during lunch.”
“Oh, okay.” Peggy quickly said, “Then, you go ahead with your stuff.
Don’t worry about me.”
“Okay.”
Both hung up the call.
Peggy took her phone and returned to the office.
After sitting down, she suddenly realized something was not right.
Talk more during lunch?
What does that mean?
However, Peggy quickly immersed herself in her work.
