NOVPUBChapter 1060: Chapter 1060: The First Plan Fails_1 Chapter 1060 -1060: The First Plan Fails_1 Peggy Lewis nodded in agreement, finally accepting Lyke Zhekova’s proposal.
After finishing breakfast, Lyke Zhekova cleaned up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.
Peggy Lewis took the soup she made for him and poured it into an insulated food jar for Lyke to take with him.
Holding the insulated food jar as if it were a treasure, Lyke made Peggy, who had been feeling down, cheer up again.
Even though Lyke’s initial reaction was not one of joy when he saw her making soup, it was rather because he didn’t want her to sacrifice her rest time.
Peggy was a bit disappointed at this.
He was being considerate of her, and that moved her.
...
But she also wanted affirmation and recognition from him.
Seeing Lyke’s reaction now, Peggy felt comforted.
It seemed that all Lyke wanted was to spare her from getting tired.
But if this factor was removed, Lyke was actually delighted to have the soup she made.
In fact, what pleased him the most was receiving this token of her affection.
However, despite being so happy, he was hesitant to let her do so because he cared about her.
This made Peggy’s heart flutter all the more.
This man, how could he be so wonderful?
Peggy couldn’t help but wonder – how was such a good man still single at his age?
In practical terms, whether in a free love situation or through matchmaking, as time goes by, there are always fewer good men available.
Aside from the few whose personal conditions are excellent and therefore have high requirements.
Most of the remaining ones are those who were not preferred by others, resulting in their late marriages.
No matter who it is, a man or woman who is so outstanding would have been discovered and pursued in advance and captured to prevent others from taking them away.
Those who are still single because they have excellent personal conditions and high requirements do exist.
However, since they are few, the chances of meeting them are also small.
Lyke Zhekova should fit into the latter category.
Regardless of whether it was when he was young, or at his current mature age, there must have been countless suitors.
It was quite impressive for Lyke Zhekova to have resisted so many pursuits and remained single until now. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Peggy Lewis did not dare to think about it.
Considering Lyke’s excellence and persistence in maintaining his single status, his standards must be very high.
Thinking about it, Peggy Lewis felt a slight shiver.
She didn’t know if someone with such high standards as Lyke could ever get married.
If he could, how excellent would his other half have to be?
Peggy Lewis couldn’t help stealing a glance at Lyke Zhekova.
A man like this, who was likable and yet seemed unattainable, made her sigh involuntarily.
Lyke Zhekova heard her sigh and asked, “Why are you sighing?”
Did she encounter something troublesome so early in the morning?
“Did you not sleep well?
Are you tired?” Lyke asked again.
“No.” Peggy shook her head, “I was just thinking about something else.
It’s not a big deal.”
Peggy clearly did not want to talk about it, so Lyke did not ask further.
He was afraid that if he asked too much, Peggy might think he was being too nosy and may end up resenting him.
Because they no longer needed to hide their relationship from their colleagues.
So that morning, Lyke drove straight to the front door of the company.
This type of openness felt great.
Lyke even wished he could get a ruler and measure exactly where the center of the company’s front door was.
After parking the car, Lyke noticed that the people on the street did not pay attention to them.
Even the employees of the company hastily went directly into the building’s entrance without glancing their way.
How was this acceptable?
Lyke responded with dissatisfaction.
He purposely parked the car here for everyone to see.
The fact that everyone didn’t look their way went contrary to his expectations.
The car was something he frequently drove and had even brought to the company a few times before; the company’s employees couldn’t possibly not recognize it.
Lyke specifically drove the car that he’d brought to the company several times for them to easily recognize him.
Could they not recognize him now?
Seeing his plan fail, Lyke came up with another one.
So, as Peggy was unbuckling her seatbelt.
Lyke suggested, “Let me take you inside.”
Peggy: “…”
Peggy’s movement stiffened as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
With her right hand still gripping the seatbelt in surprise and confusion, she glanced at Lyke.
Why had Lyke suddenly thought of escorting her into the company?
It’s just a short distance, there’s no danger, right?
“There’s no need for that,” Peggy said.
“Why make a fuss about it?
It’s quite troublesome.”
Lyke got off the car, feeling disappointed, and directly walked towards Peggy’s side of the car.
Peggy wouldn’t allow him to escort her into the company, but getting off the car to open the door for her was something he believed to be permissible.
And he also believed that the employees would not miss him if he stood there for long enough.
Indeed, when Lyke got off the car,
The employees who were heading to the company initially only noticed a figure in their peripheral vision.
They didn’t realize it was Lyke just yet.
Even if they only glanced at him, they could tell that the individual was tall, elegant and had an outstanding appearance.
Almost like he had undergone specialized training.
That’s why they eventually turned their attention to him.
Only to realize that it was Lyke Zhekova!
Just yesterday afternoon he had taken Peggy’s hand as they went for lunch.
In the evening, he had brazenly come to pick her up from work.
Now, this morning, he was directly dropping Peggy off at work.
If they were to say that these two were not in a relationship, they wouldn’t believe it.
Rose Lopez also happened to see this.
“Hah!
Peggy Lewis thinks we’re fools to play with!” Rose complained to Michelle Jenkins.
“She said before that Lyke only helped her out of respect for Cindy Clarke.” Rose was fuming, “Huh!
Out of respect for Cindy, he would pick her up from work and drop her off in the morning?
They really must take us for fools!”
“Exactly!” Michelle agreed, green with envy, “Does she think this is clever?
Does she think this makes her look modest?”
“In my opinion, she is doing this on purpose, playing with us and still thinking she’s so low-profile.” Michelle snorted, “Little did she know, this is just another form of showing off.”
“I don’t believe Peggy doesn’t know this.” said Michelle, “She’s so smart.
How could someone who became a department manager at such a young age not know this?”
Even though Peggy hasn’t formally stepped into the role yet,
And the company has not issued any formal announcement,
Everyone has tacitly agreed that the manager’s position is bound to be Peggy’s.
Earlier, Peggy and Jacob Zahn had equally high chances of getting the position.
Now that Jacob Zahn has left the company, Peggy no longer has any competitors within the department.
