NOVPUBChapter 1138: Chapter 1138: I Drank a Bit Too Much Tonight_1 Chapter 1138 -1138: I Drank a Bit Too Much Tonight_1 She had never seen Lyke Zhekova smile so gently, the smile carried a tenderness that came from deep within him.
Even his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Pretty Perlas stood stunned, unable to react, rooted to the spot.
On top of that, Lyke Zhekova was on the phone, Pretty Perlas did not want to disrupt him.
She could wait until he finished his call.
“I’ve drunk quite a bit this evening,” Lyke Zhekova’s voice stuttered a bit, the clarity lost, sounding even a bit slurred.
...
Peggy Lewis could tell, even through the phone.
“Why did you drink so much?” She wondered who dared to serve Lyke Zhekova alcohol, that person had some guts.
Lyke Zhekova sighed, sounding a bit worn out, “No choice, today’s client is really important, crucial to the future of Majestic and the City of Pingla.”
Peggy Lewis thought it made sense.
No other reason could have forced Lyke Zhekova to drink to this extent.
“Have you finished now?” Peggy Lewis asked casually.
“Not yet, but it’s almost over” Lyke Zhekova replied, sounding a bit uncomfortable, with a hint of endurance, “Can you come and pick me up?”
“Of course!” Peggy Lewis agreed immediately.
She hadn’t even considered that Lyke Zhekova would have a driver.
Considering the help he’d given her, what’s the harm in picking him up once?
Wasn’t it her responsibility to pick up Lyke Zhekova?
“I’ll be right over.” Peggy Lewis replied.
“Drive there, It’s late, don’t take a cab alone, it’s not safe.
The keys are at home, you know where they are, take any car you like.” Lyke Zhekova explained.
The smile remained on his face.
The moment Peggy Lewis agreed to pick him up, his smile deepened.
“Okay.” Peggy Lewis didn’t ask any more questions.
Whatever Lyke Zhekova asked her to do, she would do without question.
However, Lyke Zhekova decided to explain on his own accord, “I entertained the client in a hotel nearby our company, so the car’s parked in the company’s parking lot.
It’s a 10-minute walk from the company to our meeting place.”
“It’s natural that I bring any clients visiting Belfard to Majestic, have a tour, discuss some matters, and have dinner in the nearby hotel.” Lyke Zhekova explained.
Only then did Peggy Lewis understand why Lyke Zhekova asked her to drive there.
The car was parked at the company.
Though it was nearby, it wasn’t convenient for a drunk Lyke Zhekova to walk back.
Moreover, the company’s gate must have already been closed.
“The hotel near your company, is that Hotel Bertrand York?” Peggy asked.
She remembered that there was only one Bertrand York near Majestic.
It was a five-star hotel, suitable for client entertainment.
Peggy Lewis recalled that Bertrand York was owned by Noah.
What Peggy didn’t know was, regardless of the distance, these people from The Big Eight families loved to entertain guests at Bertrand York.
Whether it was their own gatherings or entertaining clients.
Even when getting married, they would choose Bertrand York.
Although Bertrand York was upscale, there were other places more suitable and romantic for weddings.
For instance, there were holiday villages in the suburbs, quite far but spacious, with lush green grass, ideal for an outdoor wedding.
Located in the city, Bertrand York was upscale, but the environment had its limits.
But because The Big Eight Families trust each other, regardless of the circumstances, they preferred to handle things within their circle.
Going to Bertrand York, whether it was for a gathering, entertaining guests, or for a wedding.
Although the money they spent there was quite insignificant to Bertrand York’s overall earnings.
It was indeed a display of unity among The Big Eight Families.
Therefore, The Big Eight Families never had to publicly say, just how united they were.
But outsiders just knew.
“Yes.” Lyke Zhekova chuckled, “That’s the one.”
“Then, I’m coming over right now.” Peggy Lewis responded immediately.
“Don’t rush, be careful on the road.
I’ll wait for you here, no matter how long it takes, I’ll be waiting here.” Lyke Zhekova said.
Hearing his somewhat rambling tone, Peggy Lewis knew Lyke Zhekova was truly drunk.
However, this rambling demeanor was rather amusing, like that of an old man.
“Okay, you wait.” Peggy Lewis replied, like she would to a child, consoling Lyke Zhekova.
“Okay.” Lyke Zhekova readily agreed, nodding his head obediently.
Peggy Lewis hung up and went to get the car keys from the cupboard near the front door.
Lyke Zhekova had been rather careless about his car keys.
At his front door, there was a shoe cabinet that ran from the floor to the ceiling, taking up a huge wall space.
Of course, this wasn’t the only shoe cabinet in the house.
There was an even bigger one in the dressing room.
The dressing room had plenty of space to store clothes and accessories.
Initially, it held Lyke Zhekova’s clothes, ties, tie clips, cufflinks, and watches.
Now it also housed Peggy Lewis’s clothes, bags, and a few accessories.
She didn’t even know when her clothes started increasing in number here.
Initially, she had only brought one suitcase over.
Eventually, her home was almost empty, everything had been moved over here.
Then, there was another room, dedicated to storing shoes.
Naturally, now it had both Lyke Zhekova’s and Peggy Lewis’s shoes.
The shoe cabinet at the front door was for the shoes they would frequently wear during the current season.
Before leaving, they could just open the shoe cupboard at the door to grab a pair, rather than going to the room specifically for shoes.
In the middle of the shoe cabinet was an empty space, designed like a small bar counter.
Above, they put things they would often need when going out, like driver licenses, car keys, etc.
And Lyke Zhekova’s car keys were all piled up in a box.
They looked like they were random items bought from an online store for 20 yuan a piece.
Peggy Lewis rummaged about for a while, finally finding a car that she could drive.
Lyke Zhekova liked big cars.
Whether it was a sedan or an SUV, they were all taller, longer, and bigger.
Peggy Lewis did not feel comfortable driving them.
It was too big, and it affected the sight when driving.
Whether turning or parking, it was more difficult to estimate the distance.
Peggy Lewis was used to her small car and driving Lyke Zhekova’s was quite a change.
However, it seemed Lyke Zhekova wasn’t too fond of sports cars, as he didn’t own any.
But Peggy Lewis didn’t plan to drive a sports car either.
Sports cars were too low, Lyke Zhekova had drunk, was uncomfortable already, cramming his tall build into a low car would certainly be even more uncomfortable.
Helplessly, Peggy Lewis found a Tesla, which she could barely drive from the collection.
Of all the cars, this one was the most suitable for her to drive.
Peggy Lewis grabbed the car keys and head out immediately, starting the car.
As for Lyke Zhekova, he had just ended his call with Peggy Lewis.
After hanging up, he didn’t rush off.
He was caught up in his own thoughts, not noticing that someone had been standing not far from him.
At the moment, Lyke Zhekova was overwhelmed with happiness.
