NOVPUBChapter 1061: Chapter 1061: You Seem a Little Off Now_1 Chapter 1061 -1061: You Seem a Little Off Now_1 Joel and Sis Anita were of a certain age where they had no ambition to advance any further in their careers.
They only wished to stay in their jobs peacefully until retirement.
As for the others, they lacked the capability to compete with Peggy Lewis.
The two departments were adjacent, so any news travels fast.
Manager Thompson has always favoured Peggy Lewis, Rose Lopez and Michelle Jenkins knew that.
Needless to say, now there was the factor of Lyke Zhekova.
Even without Manager Thompson, the higher-ups must allow Peggy Lewis to be the manager of the business department.
...
Even if to maintain the relationship with Majestic, it is a move they would make.
So, within the whole company, no one doubted that Peggy Lewis would end up becoming the manager.
“Look at her, she just loves to intrigue us,” Rose Lopez said, “The more we speculate, the happier she is.
Imagine how smug she must have felt when she duped us with her sweet talk.”
“Now she’s openly showing off Lyke Zhekova,” Rose Lopez said, her voice filled with resentment.
She and Michelle Jenkins both couldn’t help but be envious.
If he were with some socialite or wealthy heiress, they would have nowhere to vent their jealousy.
After all, the starting lines were different for them.
How could they compete?
I mean, he belonged to high society, they had mutual connections, and it was an appropriate match.
But what about Peggy Lewis?
Pegy Lewis was from an ordinary family, same as them.
Why does Peggy Lewis get to know Lyke Zhekova?
Why is Peggy Lewis so lucky!
People are not as jealous as Rose Lopez and Michelle Jenkins, they were purely intrigued by gossip.
As they didn’t interact much with Peggy Lewis, their envy wasn’t as strong as Rose Lopez and Michelle Jenkins.
Peggy Lewis wondered what was up with Lyke Zhekova this morning.
He wanted to drive her to work and now, he opened the car door for her too.
Although Lyke Zhekova was always a gentleman, 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Peggy Lewis could tell, it was different this time.
He was somewhat more deliberate.
“What’s up with you?” Peggy asked standing by the car after getting out.
Perhaps it was because they had lived under the same roof that made them feel closer.
Therefore, she felt comfortable enough to ask Lyke Zhekova directly.
“What do you mean what’s up?” Lyke Zhekova looked confused.
Peggy Lewis said, puzzled, “I just feel strange that you wanted to drive me to work and opened the car door for me.”
Lyke Zhekova replied with a laugh, “Isn’t that how I usually act?”
He showed a hint of hurt, “Did you not notice it ordinarily?”
Peggy Lewis felt even more that Lyke Zhekova was behaving abnormally that morning.
But for Lyke Zhekova to behave like this, it was stunning to those who loved gossip!
Was Lyke Zhekova behaving like this in an attempt to flirt with Peggy Lewis?!
“Of course, I know,” said Peggy Lewis, “I just feel like you’re off.”
Peggy Lewis squinted her eyes, observing Lyke Zhekova’s face,
Wondering if she could find out something from his expression.
But of course, she couldn’t.
If she could find out anything from him, would he still be Lyke Zhekova?
Lyke Zhekova even took the opportunity to grab Peggy Lewis’s hand.
While Peggy Lewis was surprised, her hand was already held up by Lyke Zhekova,
He pressed her hand firmly against his forehead.
Peggy Lewis’s palm was pressed tightly against Lyke Zhekova’s forehead, and she felt dizzy.
She had never touched Lyke Zhekova’s face before!
The skin under her palm was surprisingly smooth.
A man’s skin is not as delicate as a woman’s.
At least that’s how it appears.
But, against all odds, Lyke Zhekova’s skin is soft, smooth, and warm.
Peggy Lewis’s hand was trembling, her face turning red.
She felt as though she were being grilled over a fire.
And Lyke Zhekova was simply looking at her with a smile.
He was outrageous!
This public display of brazen flirtation on the street was too much!
Then Lyke Zhekova said, “Give it a try, my forehead isn’t hot, and I’m not sick.”
Peggy Lewis was at a loss; she had no idea what play Lyke Zhekova was putting on.
Lyke Zhekova laughed, the amusement in his eyes deepening, “Didn’t you just say I’m acting out of sorts today?
But I’m not sick.”
Peggy Lewis finally came to her senses.
She wondered if being sick had anything to do with being out of sorts.
Peggy Lewis quickly pulled her hand away.
Lyke Zhekova’s hand felt empty, slightly disappointed.
Just a moment ago, Peggy Lewis’s soft hand was against his forehead, and it felt great.
Now, Lyke Zhekova was even thinking about how her hand could be so delicate and soft.
“It doesn’t mean you have to be unwell when you’re behaving oddly,” Peggy Lewis retorted, “Don’t I know when you’re unwell?”
After all, they were living together.
Although, Peggy Lewis didn’t realize that her words carried an intimacy that she herself was unaware of.
Lyke Zhekova, lingering on those words, didn’t pay heed to it.
He didn’t care about the correlation between disease and abnormality.
He just wanted to make others jealous by having Peggy Lewis touch his forehead.
And indeed, it had the desired effect.
The crowd didn’t intend to enter the office, they only aimed to see if Peggy Lewis and Lyke Zhekova could come up with a new scheme.
Seeing Peggy Lewis touch Lyke Zhekova’s forehead was a substantial display of intamicy.
Is Lyke Zhekova’s forehead something that can be touched casually?
Lyke Zhekova smiled and advised, “Let’s go inside the company if it continues, you may be late.”
Reminded by Lyke Zhekova, Peggy Lewis was no longer concerned about why he was behaving unusually.
She hurriedly said, “Ah, then I should get going.”
“Hey, hold on.”
Peggy Lewis turned around and took a couple of steps before Lyke Zhekova called out to her.
Even her wrist was caught by Lyke Zhekova.
Peggy Lewis turned around, asking wordlessly.
Lyke Zhekova asked with a smile, “Can you come to me for lunch?
If you can, I can get the driver to pick you up.”
Peggy Lewis hadn’t really decided yet.
Lyke Zhekova added, “How about tasting the soup you brewed so diligently this morning?”
This made Peggy Lewis really curious.
Although she had tasted the saltiness while brewing.
But that was just when the water had started boiling.
After simmering it on low heat, she didn’t know what it would taste like.
What if it didn’t taste good?
If it didn’t taste good, knowing Lyke Zhekova, he would definitely lie and say that it tasted good.
Peggy Lewis hesitated, finally saying, “Alright, I will come to see you at noon.”
Lyke Zhekova laughed, sounding pleased, “Then you should head off.”
Peggy Lewis waved at Lyke Zhekova and started to jog towards the company.
Lyke Zhekova watched Peggy Lewis as she entered the door of the company, only then did he leave.
The crowd of onlookers also left.
