NOVPUBChapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Image Collapse_1 Chapter 1159 -1159: Image Collapse_1 Wallace Martin: “…”
So you’re neglecting your work for romance?
“You wouldn’t understand.” Lyke Zhekova shook his head.
Wallace Martin: “…”
He shouldn’t have asked that question.
“CEO, I’ll go prepare in the conference room first.” Wallace Martin quickly said.
He didn’t want to see the smug face of Lyke Zhekova anymore.
A 37-year-old bachelor, what’s so smug about finally finding a partner?
Doesn’t he feel embarrassed?
...
37 and just now single no more!
Lyke Zhekova still pitied him!
He was only 28, still youthful!
Wallace Martin fled promptly.
If he would’ve stayed, there’s no telling how Lyke Zhekova would torment him.
So after hiding in the Conference Room, Wallace Martin decided to show some kindness and give a heads up.
He posted in the managerial group: “Everyone, be mentally prepared, the CEO is no longer single.”
With Whatsapp being so convenient, Wallace Martin would usually share any updates or issues through the app.
Even files are sent directly through Whatsapp.
Unless it is an announcement that the entire company must see simultaneously, it would be sent by email; otherwise, everything else is solved in Whatsapp groups.
Vice President Norris asked innocently: “The CEO’s singleness ended, isn’t that good news?
Wouldn’t our lives be better if his mood is brightened?”
Wallace Martin couldn’t help but click his tongue at the phone, wondering how such a naive person managed to be promoted to Vice President.
Vice President Norris was recommended by General Manager Webster to replace Mr.
Houston’s position, and Lyke Zhekova agreed after seeing Norris’s work performance over the years.
Wallace Martin couldn’t help doubting now, could it be that General Manager Webster saw that Vice President Norris was naive, so he was promoted?
That sly old fox, General Manager Webster, is capable of such things, Wallace Martin thought.
Wallace Martin kept a straight face, careful not to say too much in case Lyke Zhekova gets wind of it.
So he just left it at that, letting everyone figure it out on their own.
Those who get it would prepare themselves mentally, and if they can, they should flee.
Like him, he heard a few murmurs and left at the first opportunity.
For those who don’t get it.
Well!
They’d just have to wait for Lyke Zhekova’s bombardment.
There’s no point in saying more, Wallace Martin thought.
Providing a hint is good enough.
Vice President Norris didn’t catch the hint that Wallace Martin was throwing.
But the old fox General Manager Webster understood.
Of course, he couldn’t possibly inform others either.
Just like Wallace Martin hesitated, giving such clear tips, would cause them to leak out!
When General Manager Webster thought of Peggy Lewis, he sent a private message to Wallace Martin: “Is the CEO with Miss Lewis?”
“Indeed.” Wallace Martin replied. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
General Manager Webster: “Congratulations!”
Wallace Martin: “…”
This sly old fox, didn’t let anything slip.
Is he congratulating Lyke for ending his singlehood?
Or wishing them good luck, hoping they won’t be harassed by Lyke?
However, you interpret it, it works.
Look at General Manager Webster, then look at Vice President Norris, what a gap.
There were still 10 minutes left before the meeting.
Because Lyke Zhekova was in a good mood, he has decided not to work for the rest of the morning, aside from attending the meeting.
Since he had no interest in working, he treated it as taking his leave.
He decided to use this 10 minutes to finish what Wallace Martin had interrupted earlier.
So, Lyke opened the “Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four” group chat.
He didn’t rush to chat, but first invited Peggy Lewis to join the group.
As there weren’t many people in the group, Peggy Lewis was directly invited in, without receiving a group link notification.
Peggy Lewis didn’t concentrate on her work that morning.
It was because she was moving out yesterday and not focused.
Today, it was because Lyke Zhekova suddenly became her boyfriend that she wasn’t focused.
But no matter what, she was still better than Lyke.
Lyke could afford not to work, but she dared not to.
So, she still forced herself to work.
When she was working, she suddenly noticed that a group had appeared on her Whatsapp desktop client.
Eighty-Eight Sixty-Four.
When Peggy clicked to see, she found out she was invited by Lyke.
She looked at the group members again.
They’re all people from the legendary Big Eight families.
Cindy Clarke was here too.
Seeing Cindy Clarke made Peggy feel much more at ease.
Lyke Zhekova: “I’ve added my girlfriend into the group, give red packets as you should.”
Clifford Wells: “What the hell?
What girlfriend?
Weren’t you planning to be single for life?”
Jackson Callaghan: “You’re at this age now, why are you still looking for a girlfriend?
Don’t cause trouble.”
Samson Zhekova: “Finally saw it here.”
He knew that Lyke wouldn’t miss this opportunity to show off in this group.
Poor him.
He was tormented by Lyke once in the family group chat.
And now he had to go through it again in this group.
What did he do wrong?
Lyke Zhekova: “You single guys are just jealous!”
Bertrand York: “Jealous of your old age, jealous of your bad back.”
Nathan Spencer: “[laughs]”
Lyke Zhekova was furious.
Peggy was in the group, and these people were spouting nonsense!
If he had known, he would have said everything and then pulled Peggy in after they finished chirping out of jealousy.
Lyke Zhekova: “I’m not old.”
Just 37.
Lyke Zhekova: “As for my back condition, you wouldn’t understand.”
Adrian Zhekova: “Fourth Uncle, isn’t it inappropriate to talk dirty here.
[doge]”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Fucking talking dirty.
He didn’t mean that!
Lyke Zhekova: “Don’t misconstrue my words.”
Lyke Zhekova grinds his teeth at his phone.
Peggy Lewis was stunned as the group chat flowed with messages.
The people she only heard about and thought were high-end, are ordinary when they start to bicker in a group chat.
It suddenly felt more down-to-earth.
But what stunned Peggy the most, was Lyke Zhekova.
She always thought that Lyke was a calm, introverted and a bit aloof when unfamiliar.
But she didn’t expect to see him in the group chat around familiar faces, appearing so entertaining.
Although it was just words, from those cold texts, Peggy could envision Lyke stomping his foot in frustration.
Lyke actually had moments where he was so frustrated he might stamp his feet.
Is this what he was like when he was with his friends?
He really doesn’t seem like an elder.
At this time, Peggy received a private message from Lyke.
Lyke Zhekova: “My sister misconstrued it as me talking dirty, they misinterpret me, I really didn’t!”
Peggy felt that Lyke’s calm image in her heart crumbled instantly.
The 37-year-old man, suddenly seemed like a young man.
“Yeah, I know.” Peggy replied, “If it wasn’t for them saying that, I wouldn’t have thought it had that connotation.”
“I don’t!
I’m sure I didn’t mean it that way.” Lyke Zhekova quickly explained, “They misinterpreted me deliberately.”
“Hmm.” Peggy replied with one word.
Lyke Zhekova: “But, my back really is good.”
