NOVPUBChapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Treatment_1 Chapter 1068 -1068: Treatment_1 “If you’re going to do something, do it well.” Peggy Lewis said, feeling a bit shy.
“I only had a little, didn’t dare to drink more,” said Lyke Zhekova.
“Wait for you to come at noon, let’s share it together.”
Luckily, the insulated food jar was big enough.
Peggy Lewis did a great job to prepare the soup, but it was hard to control the portion for just one person.
So, the soup Lyke Zhekova had in that thermos was indeed enough for both of them.
Now, Lyke Zhekova couldn’t wait for noon to arrive—eager to see Peggy Lewis again.
Lyke Zhekova didn’t know that Peggy Lewis was thinking the same thing.
...
She had just left him in the morning, and yet, she was already eager for lunchtime to arrive.
Whenever she thought of Lyke Zhekova, she felt energized—even when it came to work.
No wonder they say that when men and women work together, they don’t get tired.
Lyke Zhekova wasn’t even there now, but just thinking about his face made Peggy Lewis feel energized.
At noon, everyone began to leave.
Peggy Lewis had already told Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst that she was going to Lyke Zhekova’s place for lunch.
Clara and Abigail both agreed that if this wasn’t love, then what was?
Though they weren’t eating lunch together, they managed to leave the company together.
Just as they exited the elevator, Peggy Lewis received a call from an unknown number.
The screen of her mobile phone only displayed a string of digits.
Peggy’s first thought was that it was a telemarketing call.
Personal information leaks were indeed a serious issue.
Peggy received various kinds of telemarketing calls almost every day.
From shop investment to children’s English classes, all kinds of categories.
“Hello,” Peggy answered the call.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t an advertisement: “Miss Lewis, hello, this is William Logos, our CEO’s driver, I’m waiting for you outside the company building.”
“Your CEO ! Lyke Zhekova?” Peggy asked.
“Yes, yes,” the other party hastily said.
As they spoke, Peggy had already left the company.
Right in front of the company’s main gate, she saw a young man enthusiastically waving at her.
Out of caution and unclear circumstances of Jacob Zahn, Peggy wanted to double-check with Lyke Zhekova if this driver was indeed sent by him.
In the morning, Lyke Zhekova did mention that he would send his driver to pick her up.
But now, seeing the car behind William Logos, which was Lyke Zhekova’s—a car she was very familiar with since she had been riding in it daily recently—she recognized not just the make and model of the car but even the license plate number.
Those couldn’t be faked, so she dismissed her doubts.
“CEO…” William Logos’ “CEO’s wife” was swallowed down in time— “Miss Lewis.”
William Logos quickly corrected himself, grinning widely, revealing a row of bright white teeth that glowed under the sunlight.
Peggy Lewis and her friends were slightly dazzled by this sight.
“The CEO asked me to pick you up,” said William Logos enthusiastically.
“The CEO is in a meeting right now.
If he comes after his meeting, it’ll be a bit late.
He was afraid you would be waiting and might get hungry, so he sent me first.”
At William’s words, Peggy became quite embarrassed.
She awkwardly said goodbye to Clara and Abigail before getting into the car.
After Peggy left, Clara and Abigail headed to the restaurant while discussing, “Peggy is now basically being treated like the CEO’s wife.”
Abigail delicately added, “I always felt, that when William Logos initially said ‘CEO’, he wanted to say ‘CEO’s wife’.”
Clara nodded vigorously in agreement, “Abigail, I’ve noticed that you’ve become more observant recently!”
“!” Abigail replied helplessly, “I can’t always be that thick-skinned.
According to what you’re saying, if I continue like this, others will be mocking me behind my back.
That would be very uncomfortable, wouldn’t it?”
Because the two companies are quite close to each other, Peggy arrived at Majestic quickly.
Upon getting out of the car, William Logos didn’t leave but instead accompanied Peggy into Majestic’s entrance.
Majestic’s employees of course knew that William Logos was Lyke Zhekova’s driver.
Seeing him was not a surprise.
As for the woman accompanying him, they weren’t surprised either.
They thought she was a friend of William Logos’.
Although everyone had gossiped about Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis, they had never actually seen Peggy Lewis in person.
So now, even though Peggy Lewis herself was present, no one recognized her.
After all, she wasn’t a celebrity who they could recognize at just one glance.
They had never seen Peggy Lewis’ photo before.
Even if they had, they certainly wouldn’t have a deep impression of her and thus, naturally, wouldn’t recognize her.
However, right now, William Logos wished he had a gong in his hand, so he could announce to everyone who she was.
Although there was no gong in his hand, he did have a mouth on his face.
William Logos immediately spoke out loud, “Miss Lewis, please follow me, I’ll guide you up.
Our CEO personally instructed me multiple times.
He said it’s your first time here and that you’re not familiar with the place.
He asked me to take you all the way to the entrance of his office.”
William Logos emphasised ‘Miss Lewis’ and ‘CEO’ in his loud voice.
With this, the employees around him immediately understood the key points.
They didn’t discuss it right there and then.
But as soon as William Logos and Peggy Lewis entered the elevator!
They began discussing.
“Miss Lewis?
The one from the rumors, Peggy Lewis?”
“She came to see the CEO?”
“Judging from what William Logos implied, she’s the person the CEO especially requested him to pick up.”
“We’ll ask William Logos later.
From his reaction, he seems eager to announce it.
Once we ask, he’ll surely tell us everything.”
“Looking at William Logos’ reaction, it’s probably the CEO’s instructions.
If it weren’t for the CEO’s order, he wouldn’t dare to be so ostentatious.”
Everyone was very familiar with Lyke Zhekova’s character.
Now that Lyke Zhekova was in such a hurry for everyone to know about Peggy Lewis and his intentions, the employees laughed and nodded, understanding his intentions very well.
All the way, William Logos kept calling her ‘Miss Lewis’.
No matter what the topic, whenever he opened his mouth, he had to add ‘Miss Lewis’ to his sentence.
As if fearing people wouldn’t guess that she was Peggy Lewis.
He even found a chance to ask, “Miss Lewis, what’s the usual lunch break duration at your company?”
As soon as William Logos said this, everyone in the elevator understood.
If they linked the company name with Miss Lewis.
Who else would it be, if not Peggy Lewis?
Given the limited space in the elevator, everyone was standing quite close to each other.
Now, they couldn’t resist looking at Peggy Lewis.
Even though they were clearly staring, they couldn’t help it. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
They just wanted to see what this rumored Peggy Lewis looked like.
Peggy Lewis felt extremely awkward in the elevator.
She very much wanted to make William Logos stop talking.
Yet she felt too embarrassed to say so.
