NOVPUBChapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Even a Verbal Argument Makes Us Happy_1 Chapter 1222 -1222: Even a Verbal Argument Makes Us Happy_1 “You’re being overly polite!” Mr.
Tanner subconsciously wanted to shake hands.
But he felt it inappropriate.
Peggy Lewis was a female subordinate.
If he made any mistake, it could be seen as harassment.
Moreover, Peggy Lewis was now Lyke Zhekova’s wife.
Therefore, he had to be cautious as if handling porcelain.
...
Mr.
Tanner even wanted to surround Peggy Lewis with a one-meter radius fence, to avoid any accident, any bump or scratch, any bullying, which would be hard to explain.
Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans were watching from the vicinity of Elevator.
They didn’t know when Peggy Lewis would return.
They heard that Mr.
Tanner was leading a group of leaders to display a banner on the first floor.
Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst heard for the first time of such a flamboyant occurrence.
So they weren’t here to see Peggy Lewis, they were here to witness a miracle.
After all, they could see Peggy Lewis in the department every day.
Now they were watching Mr.
Tanner with a group of company leaders anticipating Peggy Lewis as though for an inspection.
The two couldn’t help but laugh at this scene.
Peggy Lewis felt extremely embarrassed, and could only whisper, “Mr.
Tanner, I’m here in this Company to work diligently, so! however it was before, it’ll continue to be, regardless of my marriage or the person I’m married to.”
“You really don’t have to be so courteous.
I have no intention of bringing personal matters into work either.” Peggy Lewis explained softly.
“This pomp and circumstance, I really can’t stand.” Peggy Lewis said, “Regardless of what my life is like outside the Company, in the Company, I’m just a small department manager.”
“This way, the pressure on me is high,” Peggy Lewis said quietly.
Mr.
Tanner was just showing his regard for Peggy Lewis.
If Peggy Lewis was uncomfortable with this, then he certainly couldn’t do something that might offend her instead.
So, Mr.
Tanner suggested, “Shall I have the banner taken down?”
Peggy Lewis nodded vigorously, and hastened to say, “Yes, please take it down urgently.”
Mr.
Tanner promptly called to the people behind him, “Quickly remove the banner.
Peggy wants to keep a low profile!”
Peggy Lewis: “!..”
You’re shouting so loudly, it’s not low-key at all.
The crowd was busy getting someone to remove the banner.
Although everyone was bustling around, it was lively, and it looked like a significant event.
But at least the banner was removed, and the scene appeared clearer.
“However, Peggy, despite your low-profile, obtaining a marriage certificate is such a happy event, we can’t not celebrate,” said Mr.
Tanner again.
Peggy Lewis looked at Mr.
Tanner in shock, “At the company?
No!no need.”
Peggy Lewis hurried to say, “We indeed need to celebrate, but it can be done at home with the elders.”
As soon as Peggy Lewis mentioned this, Mr.
Tanner instantly became both respectful and envious.
The ‘elders’ Peggy Lewis was referring to weren’t they the elders of the Zhekova Family?
Thinking about the elders of the Zhekova Family, he usually wouldn’t even get the opportunity to see them.
But now, Peggy Lewis had become a part of their family.
They would celebrate and dine together.
Mr.
Tanner was extremely envious.
“Your family celebration is separate.
This is a different matter,” said Mr.
Tanner, “Be assured, I know you like to maintain a low profile and don’t like to show off, so I’ve only ordered cakes to be delivered to each department for everyone to celebrate together.”
Peggy Lewis: “…..”
In fact, she wasn’t too familiar with colleagues in other departments.
There were many she couldn’t even say the names of.
Yet now they were to celebrate her marriage?
Peggy Lewis felt quite embarrassed.
But this situation was already much better than what she was anticipating.
“The one I’ve ordered for your department is particularly large, it has three layers!” said Mr.
Tanner again.
“…” Peggy Lewis’s mouth twitched, and she quickly said, “Thank you so much, I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
“Ah!
It’s nothing at all,” Although Mr.
Tanner modestly shook his head, he was actually very pleased with Peggy Lewis’s gratitude.
At this moment, he was beaming.
“You’re being so modest, otherwise, I’d organize a company-wide party like a yearly gala!”Mr.
Tanner cheerfully suggested.
Since Peggy Lewis would not let him do this anyway, he might as well talk big.
It was harmless talk.
Without having to spend real money, of course, the larger claims, the better.
Oral satisfaction brought happiness!
Peggy Lewis: “…..”
Why don’t you suggest sponsoring the wedding too?
Peggy Lewis suspected that Mr.
Tanner was just boasting, but she had to say, “You’re being too courteous.
There are so many colleagues in our company, many of whom I’ve never spoken to and don’t even know me.
Celebrating my wedding specially?
It’s too unreasonable and awkward.”
“I truly understand your good intentions,” Peggy Lewis said.
Mr.
Tanner was waiting for these words, of course, he was also waiting to hear that Lyke Zhekova would also appreciate his good intentions.
However, Peggy Lewis refrained.
She would not speak on behalf of Lyke Zhekova in a situation where it was clear the other party was acting out of self-interest.
As of now, Mr.
Tanner dared not cross Peggy Lewis.
Even if Peggy Lewis intended to retire in the company and do nothing, Mr.
Tanner would not dare utter a word of objection.
He would instead, hate not being able to offer her a high executive salary.
Seeing that Mr.
Tanner had no intention of leaving, Peggy Lewis had to push onwards and take the initiative to say, “Mr.
Tanner, shall I return to the business department to see the cake you sent?”
Mr.
Tanner, seeing that Peggy Lewis still remembered his cake, was immediately very pleased.
This meant that Peggy Lewis had indeed remembered his best wishes.
“Yes, yes, go check it out.
It should have already arrived,” said Mr.
Tanner, “Don’t wait too long as the cream may melt and then the cake won’t taste good.”
Peggy Lewis hastily left.
Upon approaching the elevator, she saw Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans also standing there, and she quickly gave them a signal.
Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans immediately waved at her while pressing the elevator button.
Peggy Lewis smiled and explained to Mr.
Tanner, “Those two are colleagues from our department, we can return together.”
After all, this elevator couldn’t fit that many people.
Peggy Lewis quickly joined Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans in the elevator.
As there were many people, Mr.
Tanner couldn’t join.
Besides in front of the Employees, Mr.
Tanner still needed to save face, and it wasn’t appropriate to directly flatter Peggy Lewis.
Earlier, Peggy Lewis had purposely whispered to Mr.
Tanner to save him face.
This made Mr.
Tanner admire Peggy Lewis even more.
Despite having such a strong heir like Lyke Zhekova in her corner, she hadn’t become arrogant.
She respected him the same as before.
Mr.
Tanner couldn’t help but sigh.
It was exactly because of this that she could go far.
Once away from Mr.
Tanner and co., Peggy Lewis finally let out a sigh of relief.
As for the other employees in the elevator, they were likely curious and glanced at her.
But this situation was something she had experienced before when Lyke Zhekova came to pick her up, and people misinterpreted it as them dating.
