NOVPUBChapter 1045: Chapter 1045: He Still Won’t Tell Me the Truth_1 Chapter 1045 -1045: He Still Won’t Tell Me the Truth_1 She had anticipated all of this.
At that time, those who were gossipy and curious might change their tone and start speaking ill of her.
But even so, Peggy Lewis wanted to dive into this dream.
Peggy Lewis stared at Lyke Zhekova blankly.
Lyke had anticipated many reactions from Peggy, but he hadn’t expected this one.
He too seemed surprised when he saw Peggy shook her head and say, “No, but I’m afraid you’ll be troubled.”
“Then I won’t be troubled either,” Lyke Zhekova replied with a smile.
“In that case, there’s no need for us to worry anymore,” Lyke Zhekova said with a smile, “We don’t need to avoid others’ speculations now, right?”
Peggy Lewis was startled.
...
That made sense actually.
Although everyone had misunderstood, they all knew about her and Lyke Zhekova now.
Moreover, Lyke Zhekova came to find her so openly.
Avoiding others’ speculations seemed to carry little significance now.
Lyke Zhekova looked particularly relieved, as if he had finally resolved a pressing issue.
He said, “In that case, can I park the car directly at the company’s entrance when I pick you up this afternoon?”
Peggy Lewis hadn’t thought that such a trivial matter would concern Lyke Zhekova.
“Had you not mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about this,” Peggy Lewis laughed along, “There’s no need to avoid speculations anymore, so there’s no need to hide.
You can indeed park the car directly at our company’s entrance.”
“Alright, let’s go,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“What do you feel like eating for lunch?”
Given that Lyke Zhekova had come, Peggy Lewis naturally wouldn’t let him go and eat at the company canteen.
Even if they no longer needed to avoid people’s speculations, there was no need to be so conspicuous.
So, they chose a nearby restaurant for lunch.
When lunch break ended and Peggy Lewis returned, everyone who passed her at the company would look at her.
Those who came to their office would also look at her.
But they weren’t as blatant as before.
Although Peggy felt a bit uncomfortable, she could bear it.
When it was time to finish work, Peggy Lewis walked to the company entrance with Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans.
There were naturally many people from the company around at the end of work.
There were not many colleagues left for overtime, so the company’s entrance was quite lively.
Everyone usually chatted as they walked towards the subway station.
But today was exceptionally lively.
Thanks to Lyke Zhekova.
Although Peggy had expressed that they didn’t need to avoid speculations, she hadn’t expected Lyke Zhekova’s interpretation of not needing to avoid speculation to be so conspicuous.
He was standing right outside the car waiting.
He didn’t seem to mind the crowd around him that almost surrounded him just to watch.
All the colleagues who came out of the company saw Lyke Zhekova.
As they walked, their gaze fell on him.
Lyke Zhekova seemed unaffected.
The colleagues walking around Peggy saw this and couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at her again.
Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans gasped.
They thought Lyke Zhekova’s behavior was impressive.
The two didn’t say anything and just bid goodbye to Peggy.
Under everyone’s gaze, Peggy came to Lyke Zhekova with her hair standing on end.
“Why are you standing outside?” Peggy Lewis asked.
“I was afraid that there were too many people at the company gate and you wouldn’t notice my car,” Lyke Zhekova explained.
Peggy mumbled to herself that since she knew his car, how could she possibly not notice.
Without caring whether Peggy believed his explanation or not, Lyke Zhekova opened the passenger side door: “Get in.”
After ensuring Peggy had got into the car, he went around to the other side to drive the car.
Peggy remembered something, took out her mobile phone, opened Whatsapp and found Cindy Clarke.
“Cindy,” Peggy called, “When you have time, can you teach me some stomach-friendly recipes?
Things like porridge, soup, anything.”
When she thought of stomach-friendly food, porridge and soup came to Peggy’s mind first.
Cindy Clarke responded almost immediately.
She had just brought the little one to the family mansion.
Adrian Zhekova would not return until Friday, which was three days away.
Cindy Clarke decided to move into the family mansion with the little one.
The little one also missed his grandparents.
Since Cindy was at the family mansion, she didn’t need to cook.
Recently, Cindy had plenty of spare time.
Once Peggy sent the message, Cindy saw it right away.
“What, your stomach is upset?” Cindy asked with concern, “Have you been working hard again recently, and not eating regularly?”
Since Peggy lived on her own, if she had a stomach issue, she naturally couldn’t rely on takeout but had to cook some porridge or soup for herself.
Cindy guessed so.
“It’s…
a friend,” Peggy said, “He has a weak stomach, so I thought maybe I could help to improve his digestion.”
It wasn’t Peggy, which reassured Cindy, so she wasn’t in a hurry after all.
If it was Peggy who had a stomach issue, Cindy had planned to go directly to Peggy’s house.
If Peggy was looking after someone else’s stomach issue, it was useless for Cindy to be anxious, right?
However, Cindy still picked up on the critical point.
“Him?” Cindy couldn’t help but flashed a mischievous smile, “A male friend, huh?”
Peggy covered her eyes.
She was always honest with Cindy.
So, while typing just now, she subconsciously went straight to the point and used “he” very sincerely.
Without waiting for Peggy’s reply, Cindy directly placed a call to her.
When Peggy’s phone rang and she saw that it was Cindy’s name, her hand shook a bit.
“Not picking up the call?” Lyke Zhekova asked, tilting his head, just happened to see “Cindy Clarke” on the screen, “It’s from Cindy Clarke.”
Well, Lyke Zhekova saw it.
Peggy had no choice but to answer it, and said, “Why did you directly call me?”
“Hm?” Cindy suddenly sensed something unusual, “Did I call at an inappropriate time?
Is someone there?
Could it be your boyfriend is right there next to you?”
“What boyfriend…” Peggy whispered.
She tilted her head, facing the corner of the car window.
Her hand was still covering her mouth.
She just hoped that Lyke Zhekova couldn’t hear her words.
Peggy felt guilty and looked over at Lyke Zhekova again.
Seeing Lyke Zhekova driving attentively, she wasn’t sure if he had heard or not.
“Oh oh oh, my mistake, it’s a male friend,” Cindy said with a naughty laugh, “Is he there by your side?”
Peggy: “!”
“Peggy, you’re not fair, you’re not even telling me the truth,” Cindy said. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
She even had a premonition.
The person next to Peggy, wouldn’t it be Lyke Zhekova?
“It’s him,” Peggy didn’t know how to explain it to Cindy.
Should she just tell her, ‘I’m with your Fourth Uncle?’
The generation gap seemed to be a mess.
“That’s rare.
You find it a hassle to cook for yourself, but you’re actually planning to cook stomach-friendly food for this friend,” Cindy remarked.
Could it be just an ordinary friend?
“This friend helped me a lot,” Peggy said, “I’ve been wondering how to thank him.
Since I learned he has a weak stomach, I thought I could do something within my abilities, starting with these small things.”
