NOVPUBChapter 1215: Chapter 1215: Anyway, the One in Trouble is Not Him_1 Chapter 1215 -1215: Anyway, the One in Trouble is Not Him_1 “Whenever I encounter something I don’t understand, you can guide me,” said Lyke Zhekova.
Unwillingly, Samson Zhekova followed him again.
Among those present, he seemed to be the only suitable one.
Even though Cindy Clarke was his niece, it wasn’t appropriate for her to be alone in the kitchen with Lyke.
Adrian Zhekova was completely clueless about cooking.
At this time, Samson Zhekova was especially envious of Adrian’s lack of cooking skills.
Given Adrian’s cunning and crafty nature, Samson started to suspect whether Adrian was doing it on purpose or not.
...
With Samson Zhekova’s one-on-one guidance, Lyke’s dinner preparation was quite good.
Even though they were all simple home-cooked dishes, they still looked legitimate.
It may not be equivalent to a professional chef, but it could easily rival any ordinary home-cooked meal.
This caused Lyke’s confidence to inflate at an unprecedented rate.
Anyway, he didn’t have to practice things like knife skills.
Even though he was a bit slower, as long as the food tasted good, it was fine.
Lyke said to Peggy Lewis: “Usually, I am busy with work and considering my speed, it would probably be a midnight snack by the time I finish cooking after returning home from work.”
To Cindy, Adrian Zhekova said: “It’s rare to see Fourth Uncle being aware of his shortcomings.”
Because it was said in a low voice, Lyke sensed that Adrian was talking about something related to him.
But since he couldn’t hear it clearly, he had to let it go.
“But during weekends and holidays, if we’re at home with nothing to do, I’ll be in charge of cooking,” Lyke said.
Peggy, who knew that Lyke was not just talking, agreed and said: “Okay.”
Adrian tasted the boiled meat slices prepared by Lyke.
Actually, there wasn’t much technique involved in making this dish.
It was just beef slices cooked in hot pot base material, topped with some vegetables.
In the end, it was topped with oil-fried Sichuan pepper and chili.
The main thing was the rich and spicy flavor of the hot pot base material.
Even a novice could cook it perfectly.
However, under Samson’s guidance, Lyke was able to cook the beef to be soft and tender which was indeed commendable.
The green peas and tomato soup was also thick and sweet.
Since they already had boiled beef, they didn’t add beef to the soup to avoid repetition.
The little one was particularly fond of this soup and ate quite a bit.
Everyone had a satisfying and hearty dinner cooked by Lyke that night, and they happily left after eating.
Before going to bed, Lyke reminded Peggy: “You should sleep early.
We’ll get the Household Register first thing tomorrow morning.”
Not only Peggy’s Household Register was with her parents, but Lyke’s was also with Third Old Master Zhekova.
They would have to visit two places tomorrow, which would certainly take a lot of time.
Early the next morning, Lyke informed Wallace Martin that he wouldn’t go to the Company in the morning.
Lyke Zhekova, despite not being a workaholic like Zander Hamilton, usually didn’t take leaves unless it was a particularly crucial matter.
Therefore, Wallace Martin couldn’t help but ask.
Later, Wallace Martin regretted it and kept wondering why on earth he had to ask.
“I’m going to get the marriage license with Peggy,” Lyke said.
“Soon, all of you will have a CEO’s Wife.”
Wallace Martin quickly congratulated them.
Lyke was smiling, “Since it’s such a big event, shouldn’t you inform the entire company?
Let them know that they will have a CEO’s Wife.”
“Absolutely,” Wallace Martin said hurriedly, “CEO, should we also tell the people at Majestic?”
“Hmm?” Lyke hadn’t thought about this.
He heard Wallace Martin say, “The CEO’s Wife tends to keep a low profile, so she most likely won’t mention it at Majestic.
In this case, for quite some time, they probably won’t know about the CEO’s Wife getting married.”
“And if some people, thinking that the CEO’s Wife is still unmarried and hoping for your break-up, tried to hinder her by saying unpleasant things…” Wallace Martin started spouting his conspiracy theories.
The poor folks at Majestic had done absolutely nothing, yet Wallace Martin framed them in front of Lyke.
It was quite unjust.
But Lyke felt that what Wallace Martin was worried about made sense.
Indeed, he was his First Assistant at Majestic.
Well done.
“Yes, indeed,” Lyke, who hadn’t thought about it himself but Wallace Martin did, felt very satisfied with this.
“You personally inform the CEO of Majestic as well, they should know what to do,” said Lyke.
“Alright,” Wallace Martin agreed.
“Also, remind them that Peggy prefers to keep things low-key, so they shouldn’t overdo it,” Lyke added.
“Alright,” To Lyke’s various requests, Wallace ensured that the folks at Majestic would not only know about the marriage of Lyke and Peggy but also that they would not publicize it too much, nor keep it too low-key.
Wallace agreed to everything.
After all, the one being troubled was not him but the CEO of Majestic.
Wallace Martin wasn’t under any pressure at all.
With nothing more to instruct, before hanging up, Wallace said, “CEO, how about I send the announcement after you and the CEO’s wife get your marriage license?
That way, it would be more ceremonious.
Of course, I will prepare the text in advance.”
“That’s fine,” Lyke agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Wallace went to take care of it.
Because they had to take pictures, Peggy put on light makeup.
When she finished and came out, Lyke had already hung up the phone.
“Did you have some work?” Peggy asked.
“No, just telling Wallace that I won’t be going to the company in the morning because of leave,” Lyke explained.
Peggy didn’t think much of it.
Even though she knew that Lyke would show off in The Big Eight families, she didn’t know at all that Lyke would also show off in the company.
After all, she had no first-hand experience of this.
Nor could she imagine that Lyke wouldn’t even let Majestic off the hook.
Hence, Peggy, in all her innocence, first went to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis’s house with Lyke.
That’s what Lyke thought.
Although Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis had already agreed to their marriage.
But for getting the marriage license today, getting the agreement of Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis first would make Lyke feel at ease.
Once they got the Household Register from them, it would be a done deal.
Third Old Master Zhekova couldn’t possibly refuse.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis were taken aback.
They had only discussed the wedding yesterday, and today the couple was already going to get their marriage license.
Both of them were cleaning the house.
Since they were retired, they didn’t have much to do and didn’t have to go to the market to buy groceries and cook every day.
Mrs.
Lewis usually goes to the market with Mr.
Lewis and buys groceries for three or four days at a time.
Therefore, they didn’t have much to do usually, and since they had good sleep quality, they didn’t have the common old people’s problem of waking up very early.
They usually sleep until seven or eight in the morning.
When Lyke and Peggy arrived, it was just after eight.
Mrs.
Lewis was cooking noodles, and Mr.
Lewis was wiping the table.
Hearing the sound of the opening door, Mr.
Lewis was quite surprised.
