NOVPUBChapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Guard the Door, Don’t Make a Sound_1 Chapter 1043 -1043: Guard the Door, Don’t Make a Sound_1 No matter how one looked at it, everyone believed it was incredibly tough to win over Lyke Zhekova.
Therefore, they no longer held any illusions about him.
But surprisingly, Lyke Zhekova had taken an interest in someone.
At first glance, Peggy Lewis did not seem to be an especially outstanding girl.
There wasn’t much to differentiate her from the other particularly attractive female employees in the company.
What they had learned about Peggy Lewis was that she was merely an ordinary employee.
First, she was not unusually intelligent or uniquely gifted.
...
Second, she didn’t come from a particularly distinguished or high-class family.
So, what exactly had Lyke Zhekova seen in her?
In the end, they had discovered that Peggy Lewis was best friends with Cindy Clarke.
“Could it be due to the saying of ‘Near water, the melon gets washed’?”
“Well, one could only say that she happened to be at the right place at the right time.”
“Ahh, everyone has their destiny, who was she to argue with timing?”
***
Peggy Lewis was unaware that she was the center of a heated discussion at Majestic.
She was even more clueless that Lyke Zhekova had said something about her at Majestic.
At that moment, Lyke Zhekova had arrived at the office.
He was punctual.
Having said that he would meet up with Peggy Lewis at noon, here he was.
The company CEO reacted swiftly this time.
The moment Lyke Zhekova set foot in the office, the CEO was notified and promptly went out to meet him.
“Director Zhekova!” The CEO raced over, eagerly shaking Lyke’s hand.
After a few shakes, Lyke Zhekova quickly let go of the CEO’s hand.
There was no need for a grown man’s hand to be held.
“I came to see Peggy,” Lyke Zhekova said, smiling faintly.
Hearing this, the CEO was astonished!
He’s already calling her by her first name, signaling that their relationship is definitely not ordinary.
No matter how much Peggy Lewis denied it, Lyke Zhekova himself came to admit it!
The CEO was very perceptive.
He immediately responded, “I see.
I won’t bother you then.
Director Zhekova, did you make arrangements to wait for Peggy here, or do you plan on finding her in the Business Department?”
The CEO smoothly changed his address for Peggy Lewis to “Little Peggy”.
“I’ll go to the Business Department.
I’m afraid if she doesn’t know I’m here, she might already have lunch plans, which wouldn’t be ideal.” Zhekova said.
The CEO quickly gathered information from Lyke Zhekova’s words.
Zhekova came without informing Peggy Lewis.
He must be trying to surprise her!
The CEO immediately showed a knowing expression, just like before when he caught a glimpse of Peggy Lewis, and promptly responded: “I see.
Shall we head to the Business Department?”
The CEO was keen on being at the first row to enjoy the show.
Then Lyke Zhekova simply responded with a smile, “I know the way to the Business Department.
I can go there directly.”
Lyke Zhekova paused and hinted at the CEO, “If you accompany me, things might get a bit awkward; I’m afraid it would make Peggy uncomfortable.”
From the familiarity in which Lyke Zhekova called her, the CEO understood that Lyke Zhekova’s relationship with Peggy Lewis was far more intimate than it appeared.
Immediately, the CEO understood and said, “Okay then, I won’t interrupt, enjoy your lunch.”
With heartfelt wishes, the CEO watched Lyke Zhekova head towards the elevator with a wide grin.
The CEO didn’t forget to call his secretary, “Notify all departments, Lyke Zhekova has come to our company to have lunch with Peggy Lewis.
Ask them not to bother Zhekova; everything should proceed as usual.”
“Usual?” The secretary asked.
“Yes, just as it has always been.
No need to make any specific changes,” the CEO replied.
“As Zhekova is surprising Peggy Lewis, we should act like we don’t know anything.
Also, remind everyone to treat Peggy as they usually would, don’t ask her gossipy questions or do anything that might upset her,” the CEO instructed.
“Yes, sir.
I’ll relay the message right away,” the secretary promptly replied.
Peggy Lewis was still unaware that Lyke Zhekova had arrived at the company.
She was planning to have lunch with Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans.
At this moment, she was finishing up the final details of a document.
She needed to save the finished file first.
Peggy Lewis had a habit of completing one task before moving on to the other.
Especially when she was on the brink of finishing a document, leaving a loose end would make her uncomfortable.
After tidying up and conducting a final check, she prepared to head out for lunch.
Peggy Lewis was conducting the final check on her computer.
Suddenly, the office fell into an odd silence.
But Peggy Lewis was concentrating deeply on her check, her attention completely focused on the document displayed on her computer screen.
She didn’t notice the unexpected event at the office entrance or the peculiar silence that had settled in the office.
The others, who had planned to leave for lunch together…
Elijah Hernandez and Tiffany Wagner were no longer just hanging onto the coattails of Jacob Zahn, as he had been fired.
Now, the two of them were best friends, hand in hand.
“What should we have for lunch today?” Tiffany Wagner asked Elijah Hernandez as they walked along.
“How about clay pot rice?” Elijah Hernandez suggested. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
“Sure,” Tiffany Wagner was about to say something else when she saw Elijah Hernandez stop in his tracks suddenly.
Tiffany Wagner also halted, to see a shocked and stiff expression on Elijah Hernandez’s face as he stared at the entrance.
Tiffany Wagner followed his gaze.
There stood Lyke Zhekova, unexpectedly, at the entrance of the Business Department’s office.
Tiffany Wagner even closed her eyes tightly, squeezing out the wrinkles at her eyes corners.
When she opened her eyes again, Lyke Zhekova was still there.
Even after rubbing her eyes, Lyke Zhekova remained in the same spot.
She confirmed that her eyes were not playing tricks on her.
Elijah Hernandez was stunned speechless.
Abigail Ackehurst didn’t sit next to Clara Evans.
So, Abigail Ackehurst rushed to text Clara Evans, “Clara, look at the door, don’t make a sound!”
Clara Evans looked up, spotted Lyke Zhekova, and immediately took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her exclamation.
Joel and Sis Anita also saw him.
Manager Thompson had just received the CEO’s message about Lyke Zhekova’s arrival.
But, following the CEO’s advice, he chose not to make a grand fuss over Lyke Zhekova’s presence.
As such, Manager Thompson hid in his office, not showing his face.
Seeing that everyone had noticed him, except for Peggy Lewis, who he had come to see and was still engrossed in her work.
The person he had wanted to notice him the most hadn’t noticed him.
But Peggy’s concentration made Lyke Zhekova involuntarily smile as he couldn’t bring himself to interrupt her.
Most people had seldom even seen Lyke Zhekova, let alone see him smile so warmly.
If anyone still dared suggest, they were just friends, they would simply be insulting their intelligence.
However, no one dared to disturb Lyke Zhekova at this moment.
Finally, Peggy finished checking all the files.
After saving them, she stood up to get Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans.
After relaxing, her thoughts were not on work anymore.
Only then did she notice the eerie silence in the office.
