NOVPUBChapter 959: Chapter 959: What is Your Relationship with Miss Lewis?_1 Chapter 959: Chapter 959: What is Your Relationship with Miss Lewis?_1 Lyke Zhekova looked distastefully at Wallace Martin.
Just as Wallace Martin thought that Lyke Zhekova probably wouldn’t say anymore.
He heard Lyke Zhekova say: “In Realforce Corp’s Business Department, there is an extremely capable employee, much stronger than Jacob Zahn.”
That made him wonder about this big deal, how it had fallen into the hands of Jacob Zahn.
Logically, with Peggy Lewis’ abilities, such good luck shouldn’t have fallen into Jacob Zahn’s hands.
“Mmmhmm.” Wallace Martin’s eyes shone with a gossip-like light, “Who is it?”
“…” Lyke Zhekova said, “There’s an employee named Peggy Lewis in their department.”
“A female employee?” Wallace Martin immediately caught the key point.
Remembering how Lyke Zhekova had just complimented Peggy for her exceptional ability, much stronger than Jacob Zahn.
Lyke Zhekova rarely complimented people.
...
It was a rare occasion for him to praise someone.
To get him to praise someone, that person must be incredibly outstanding.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
He felt that Wallace Martin was trying to gossip!
“Anyway, she’s going to take over, and the results will be attributed to her.” Lyke Zhekova said.
By her name, definitely a girl.
Interesting, Wallace Martin found her name familiar.
“Oh, right, I’ve heard her name before.” Wallace Martin said.
Lyke Zhekova immediately looked at Wallace Martin: “You know her?”
How else would he have heard of Peggy Lewis’ name?
Suddenly, Lyke Zhekova squinted dangerously at Wallace Martin.
What’s the relationship between Wallace Martin and Peggy Lewis?
Hoping it wasn’t because he had seen her before and found her attractive, intending to pursue her!
Wallace Martin had not expected Lyke Zhekova, a perennial bachelor without any experience in romance.
To have such rampant imaginations now, such a strong sense of crisis.
And was so unreasonable in his fit of jealousy.
Wallace Martin, who knew nothing, truthfully said, “Of course I don’t know her.
Didn’t you ask me to investigate Realforce Corp previously?”
“Their Business Department’s manager is getting a promotion, and he’ll officially take the position on the first of next month.
So before the end of this month, they have to select a successor from their Business Department.” Wallace Martin said.
“Peggy Lewis and Jacob Zahn are the two hot candidates.
Even the departmental manager plans to select one of them as the successor.” Wallace Martin said, “I had previously heard about this when I investigated Realforce’s affairs, so when I heard Peggy Lewis’ name, it sounded familiar.”
“Originally, if Jacob Zahn had successfully signed this deal with us, then the matter would have been settled.
Because Realforce attaches great importance to our deal, they even had their Chief Manager personally lead Jacob Zahn.”
“If he had indeed succeeded, the Realforce Chief Manager would have directly appointed Jacob Zahn to the position of Business Department Manager without needing the current manager to say anything.” Wallace Martin said.
“Moreover, I’ve heard that Jacob Zahn is not a very good person, he’s narrow-minded.
If he happens to rise to power, he’ll definitely squeeze out Peggy Lewis.”
There was no need for Wallace Martin to say, Lyke Zhekova could guess it too.
A common maneuver in the workplace.
Otherwise, keeping a former competitor and her connections in the company would create numerous obstacles.
Of course, this was what people of lesser ability would think of.
Those with real ability would never bother with such issues.
As long as the individual is capable, they would definitely be able to utilize the individual’s capabilities for their own purposes.
Lyke Zhekova then said: “So when you propose the change of personnel, try not to cause trouble for Peggy Lewis.”
This was originally Jacob Zahn’s deal, and now it is suddenly given to Peggy Lewis to handle.
There would inevitably be gossips within Realforce Corp.
But knowing that this deal could benefit Peggy Lewis and knowing that Peggy Lewis was within Realforce.
There was no way Lyke Zhekova could pass the deal to another company or another person within Realforce Corp.
Lyke Zhekova was determined to do this, no matter what.
Therefore, he could only try to minimize the attack Peggy Lewis received within the company.
“Got it.” Wallace Martin nodded at Lyke Zhekova while making an “OK” gesture.
But after saying that, Wallace Martin still didn’t leave.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“Why are you still here?” Lyke Zhekova asked with a disgusted face.
Not only did Wallace Martin not leave, but he moved even closer.
Where did he get such courage?
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Then Wallace Martin asked: “CEO, what is your relationship with Miss Lewis?”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“What’s it to you?” Lyke Zhekova said, clearly not pleased.
Wallace Martin seemed unafraid of Lyke Zhekova’s annoyance and said, “I need to know so that I can gauge my actions.”
“When it comes to protecting Miss Lewis, there are different levels.
If she’s a friend of a friend, that’s basic protection.
If she’s your friend, CEO, that’s intermediate protection.
If she’s a particularly good friend of yours, that’s advanced protection.
If she is someone you like…
as in my future CEO’s wife.”
Wallace Martin patted his chest and said: “Anyway, I will definitely protect Miss Lewis and make sure she doesn’t suffer the slightest grievance.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Wallace Martin continued: “This is the highest level of protection!”
“…” Lyke Zhekova reluctantly said, “She’s my friend.”
After all, he didn’t quite know what he felt towards Peggy Lewis now.
He hadn’t seen her since the final round of the Cooking Competition.
Mainly because he hadn’t found an opportunity to see her again.
Wallace Martin was somewhat disappointed.
Who would have thought she wasn’t the future CEO’s wife?
But soon, Wallace Martin perked up.
Because even if she’s not the future CEO’s wife, he had never seen Lyke Zhekova show such concern for a girl before.
Not to mention specifically instructing him to ensure that Peggy Lewis wasn’t made to suffer due to the gossip. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
So, Wallace Martin thought, becoming the CEO’s wife seemed inevitable.
Just as he thought that, he heard Lyke Zhekova say: “But you’ll have to protect her at the highest level.”
Wallace Martin stared at Lyke Zhekova with a suggestively deep look.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“Ditch your gossiping look and get to work.” Lyke Zhekova said in a deep voice.
Wallace Martin, who seemed to have developed a leopard’s guts, refused to leave.
He even said to Lyke Zhekova: “CEO, when I was investigating Realforce Corp, I inevitably saw a photo of Miss Lewis.”
“Although it was an employee photo, not a personal one, and I’d never seen her in person,” Wallace Martin continued.
Lyke Zhekova was about to complain, shouting that instead of investigating the company, he had gone to look at Peggy Lewis’ appearance!
But after hearing what Wallace Martin had to say, Lyke Zhekova swallowed his retort.
“But employee photos are always taken in extreme close-up and usually aren’t very flattering.
Despite that, Miss Lewis still managed to stand out in such a photo.” Wallace Martin said.
