NOVPUBChapter 1155: Chapter 1155: The Sound of Taking Pleasure in Other’s Misfortune_1 Chapter 1155 -1155: The Sound of Taking Pleasure in Other’s Misfortune_1 Peggy Lewis couldn’t help but laugh.
Lyke Zhekova’s detailed report of his schedule calmed her nerves.
“Okay.” Peggy nodded.
“How about you come to see me at noon?” Lyke proposed.
“Sounds good.” Peggy agreed.
They hadn’t separated yet, but, Peggy was already missing him.
So, she readily agreed to Lyke’s request to see her at noon.
...
“Then I’ll be off,” Peggy said.
Lyke nodded and watched her get out of the car.
Only when Peggy had entered the Company did Lyke drive off.
All of Majestic’s employees, from level foot soldiers to the big shots, saw that Lyke was in high spirits and enjoying his day.
Especially those who saw him entering the company in the morning, they noticed that even his walk seemed sprightlier than usual.
The laughter on his face was astonishing.
Normally, Lyke was not seen smiling like this.
Moreover, he was even amiable and friendly towards ordinary employees whom he did not know, which was quite startling.
The employees who were on the receiving end of Lyke’s genial smiles were terrified.
Therefore, all employees who met Lyke, would whisper to each other after he left, “What happened to the CEO today?”
“What good fortune could he have encountered that made him so happy?”
“The CEO lacks nothing, what could make him consider it a fortune?”
“Isn’t there some representative from the Star Stripe Nation coming to discuss cooperation?
Could it be that the deal was successful?”
“But even if that’s so, his happiness is over the top.
We’ve had successful deals bigger than this before.
Yet, the CEO has never been this overjoyed.”
People shook their heads, expressing their confusion.
But no one connected this to the possibility of Lyke having a new romantic partner.
After all, he was already 37!
People had given up hope on him ever finding a partner.
Lyke bumped into Wallace Martin at the office entrance and greeted him with an exceptionally radiant smile, “Morning.”
“…” Wallace was stunned, managing to pull off an extremely brave smile, “Good morning, CEO.”
What great event could have happened?
“CEO, did something happy happen today?” Unlike others, Wallace was braver.
He dared to ask directly.
Lyke was even more happy now.
This showed why Wallace could be his assistant; he always knew what to say.
Look, wasn’t Wallace’s question directly touching Lyke’s heart?
Lyke didn’t miss others’ astonishment, but he wasn’t least bit vexed.
What made him upset was that, even though they were curious, why did they not ask directly!
If they asked, he would be able to explain!
If they didn’t ask, how could he explain?
Look how clever Wallace was.
If the question was asked, how could he not answer?
“I’ll hand out candies of celebration later.” Lyke tried to maintain a nonchalant and aloof demeanor, but failed miserably.
His smile never faded, it was wide enough to even show his gums.
Wallace: “…”
What’s going on?
Lyke isn’t even off the singles’ market and he’s already thinking of celebratory candies?
Upon quick deduction, Wallace immediately asked, “CEO, are you and Miss Lewis…”
Lyke nodded and boasted, “Just as you’re thinking.”
Wallace: “…”
What was he thinking?
He was thinking Lyke was marrying Peggy.
Did Lyke marry her?
Since Lyke was in high spirits and wouldn’t act out, Wallace cheekily asked, “Are you getting married?”
But if Lyke could be trapped by a question, he wouldn’t be Lyke.
Lyke, with a thick skin, admitted confidently without any hesitation, “Soon.”
Wallace: “…”
In the realm of thick skins, he admitted defeat.
“When did you and Miss Lewis become a thing?” Wallace asked.
He had been by Lyke’s side all day and was quite certain that Lyke was single just yesterday.
Even if they were together today, it definitely couldn’t be, ‘about to get married’, right?
He was surely bragging!
Lyke: “…”
Looking at Wallace’s gleeful naughtiness, Lyke knew exactly what he was thinking.
Lyke snickered, “Do you have the leisure to worry about when Peggy and I became a thing?”
Wallace: “…”
What was up with that huh!
“Instead of focusing on an event that has already happened and doesn’t need to be concerned about anymore, it’s better to consider your own situation,” Lyke suggested.
Wallace: “…”
What did he have to do with it!
“I have a girlfriend now, I’m no longer alone,” Lyke scornfully looked Wallace up and down, “You, on the other hand, are still alone.”
Wallace: “…”
“So, when you have free time, you should think more about your own affairs,” Lyke proudly told Wallace, “We’re not the same.”
Wallace: “…”
Hehe!
If I didn’t ask, you would not be happy!
Now he’s being ridiculed?
Well, this made Wallace even more certain that he had just gotten together with Peggy.
Maybe it happened last night, or this morning.
Otherwise, Lyke wouldn’t have waited till today to show off.
Wallace wasn’t in a hurry at all.
Yes, Lyke was no longer single, but look at how old he was now.
There was nothing to brag about only getting off the singles’ market now!
Wallace ignored him and returned to his seat.
Who doesn’t have a little temper huh!
Anyway, it wasn’t during work hours and had nothing to do with work.
The only virtue of Lyke was that during non-working hours, he generally didn’t fuss about minor matters.
Indeed, Lyke didn’t mind Wallace’s attitude.
He just sneered, indicating that Wallace was just jealous.
Then Lyke entered his office, high-spirited as ever.
The first thing he did after sitting down was not turning on his computer for work, but taking out his mobile phone.
But it wasn’t to contact Peggy, instead, he texted Samson Zhekova on Whatsapp: “If you have time today, send me some simple breakfast recipes.”
Samson instantly replied, “Cindy Clarke told me that Peggy’s breakfasts are pretty good.
Cindy also sent her quite a few recipes.
Why do you need more?
Fourth Uncle, you’re overdoing it.
How can you exploit her like that?
She makes you breakfast, you should just happily eat it.
Why still order dishes and ask for recipes?
You’re overdoing it!
What?
The Old Madam’s persuasion fell on deaf ears?”
Because the reply was lengthy, Samson didn’t bother typing it all.
He simply sent a voice message.
However, Lyke suspected that Samson just used this as an excuse to lambast him.
“What are you babbling about.” Lyke replied via a voice message, “I need the recipes.
I want to learn to cook.”
“Hmm?” After playing the voice message, Lyke heard Samson’s voice filled with schadenfreude.
