“What time…
approximately will you finish tonight?” Peggy asked Lewis again, “I’m not trying to rush you, just wondering if you have an estimated time?”
Imagining her waiting at home, Lewis replied, “It won’t be too late.
Should be over before 10 o’clock.”
He was determined to finish work within this timeframe.
“These days we have to entertain clients, it’s a bit chaotic.
They will leave this Friday.” Lewis said, “It will be better next week.”
Reading this, Peggy felt like crying.
It seemed she wouldn’t have many chances to spend time with Lewis like before.
...
After finishing work that night, Peggy went home.
Her home.
The journey felt strangely unfamiliar.
When she got back home, she was alone and had no wish to prepare any meals.
Living alone, the reason for her preference to order takeout was partly because it was convenient.
After a tiresome day at work, cooking was a hassle.
Another important reason was that when she bought groceries to cook, one dish was too simple and two dishes were too much for her.
And when it came to going to the market, she was busy with work and there wasn’t much left by the time she could visit after work.
In the supermarket, the smallest quantities of vegetables available were in fact quite large.
And the vegetables didn’t keep for long.
They would rot in a few days, and any leftovers would go to waste.
It was just easier to order takeout, saving her from such worries.
The takeout shops considered this, and now all offer single-serving quantities.
Peggy didn’t even feel like watching variety shows or movies that evening.
She just kept checking the time.

That night, Lewis only brought General Manager Webster along, Amelia was not there.
He had forgotten to deal with the Amelia situation during the day.
When he was leaving the hotel that night, he asked General Manager Webster, “Has Amelia Ford got married?”
General Manager Webster was extremely surprised.
Wasn’t Lewis still trying to win over Peggy?
Was he already setting a plan B with Amelia?
In his opinion, Amelia couldn’t compare to Peggy.
Anyway, according to General Manager Webster’s vision, he didn’t like Amelia that much.
He had no prejudice against capable women in the workplace.
But being capable in the workplace and being manipulative were two different things.
There were many capable and charming women who were admirable.
However, Amelia wasn’t one of them. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
He said, “I really don’t know.
She just transferred here, so I don’t know much about her.
You should ask the HR manager about this.”
Looking at General Manager Webster’s expression, Lewis knew what the man was imagining.
“Hold your imagination.” Lewis said irritably, “I want you to keep a close eye on Amelia.
If she makes a mistake at work, grab the chance and let her go.”
General Manager Webster finally understood.
Lewis didn’t plan to seduce Amelia, he wanted to make her leave like what happened to Mr.
Houston.
Although General Manager Webster didn’t like Amelia, he still felt that Lewis was overly harsh for women like her!
He kicked out every woman that he came across.
General Manager Webster suddenly felt pity for those women like Amelia.
They had to leave the company if they were targeted by Lewis.
“Yes, sir.” General Manager Webster quickly agreed.
After that, Lewis got into the car.
It was rare for him to return to a house shrouded in darkness, without any lights on.
After Lewis entered the house, he switched the lights on.
Seeing that it was 11 o’clock, Lewis concluded that Peggy might already have gone to bed since she was tired from the night before.
Peggy usually went to bed around 11:30 pm.
Therefore, Lewis didn’t find it unusual.
Moreover, although Peggy had taken her things away, her everyday items were still there.
If he didn’t go into Peggy’s bedroom, Lewis wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
Of course, Lewis would never just enter Peggy’s bedroom.
Assuming that Peggy was asleep, Lewis trod lightly.
At that moment, his mobile phone rang.
When Lewis pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it, it turned out to be a call from Peggy.
Confused, Lewis answered, “Why are you calling?
You’re already home.”
“I’m home,” Peggy said.
“My home.”
“Your parents’ place?” Lewis asked, unable to connect her words to Peggy’s apartment.
“No, my apartment,” Peggy clarified, “I was afraid that if I told you in person, you wouldn’t agree, and I might be persuaded by you.”
Her lack of resolution made it easier for her to be persuaded.
“But I’ve already lived at your place for too long and caused too much disruption.
As friends, it doesn’t make sense for us to live together for such a long time.” Peggy explained.
“Moreover, it’s been some time since the incident with Jacob.
I feel that I should be safe now and he shouldn’t bother me again.” Peggy reasoned.
“So, I thought we should both get back to our own lives.” Peggy suggested.
Upon hearing this, Lewis was flabbergasted.
She was fine in the morning, and then all of a sudden, she moved out.
For the first time, Lewis was taken aback, his mind went blank.
“Why so sudden?
You just suddenly wanted to move?
It was fine in the morning, why did you suddenly decide to move?” Lewis quickly asked, “Did I do something wrong?
Was it because I drank too much last night and upset you?”
“No,” Peggy hurriedly clarified, “You have never upset me.
It is just that I should move out.
I can’t live over at your place forever.
Moreover, I’ve been living there for so long that it’s become inappropriate.
I’ve caused you so much trouble !”
Peggy paused before continuing, “I had thick skin to stay at your home for so long.”
“I should have told you in person.
Leaving without a word, only leaving you a phone call is just rude.” Peggy tried to hold herself together, “Once your clients leave and you have time, I’ll invite you for a meal, to formally thank you.”
“I see,” Lewis replied calmly.
Peggy was a bit stunned.
Earlier Lewis sounded shocked and his tone was urgent.
But now that he suddenly calmed down, Peggy felt a bit at a loss.
However, she thought she had been bad enough.
She understood that Lewis’s reaction was completely normal.
What did she even expect him to say?
“Hmm.” Peggy tried to smile, “Are you home?”
“Hmm,” Lewis’s voice sounded a little indifferent.
“Once I got back, it was pitch-black, no lights waiting for me.
I thought you were sleeping so I walked lightly.
I didn’t expect you to have already left.”
Listening to this, Peggy had a really sour feeling.
She felt like she had become a villain.
“Did you just get home?” Peggy asked again.
“Just got back.
You timed it perfectly.” Lewis smiled bitterly.
She must have planned for quite a while.
