CEO, as you know, employee’s photos read like ID pictures.”
“All of them are headshots, and even with makeup on, the makeup is usually minimal.” Wallace Martin said, “Even in those photo studios that promise you flawless retouching, they can’t compare with the effect shown by girls who have their makeup on and then use a beauty App for selfies, which is much closer to their real looks.”
“Oh no, they’re usually even uglier than their natural appearance.
It’s like comparing the selfie taken by the front camera of an iPhone to looking in the mirror.” Wallace Martin took the opportunity to educate Lyke Zhekova.
“But even so, Miss Lewis’s employee’s photo is still quite attractive, good enough to turn heads.” Wallace Martin said.
Lyke Zhekova gave Wallace Martin a cold look: “Have you also seen her employee’s photo from the company?”
Under the cold stare of Lyke Zhekova, Wallace Martin didn’t look flustered at all.
He’s used to it by now.
...
Even though Lyke’s gaze was frigid, it didn’t necessarily mean he was angry.
Wallace knew very well when Lyke was pretending to be angry and when he was genuinely upset.
And now, Lyke Zhekova was clearly not really angry.
He was just putting on an act, giving him a warning.
But as Lyke’s assistant who has been by his side for many years, Wallace knew Lyke intimately.
He had anticipated Lyke’s reaction and was neither worried nor afraid.
“Of course I couldn’t.” Wallace explained with a smile, “I have my own work to do, how could I have that kind of time?”
Lyke snorted curtly, “If you did, I’d consider giving you some extra work.”
“Oh no, absolutely not, definitely not!” Wallace was frantically waving his hands, and quickly denied it.
“It’s only because of Jacob Zahn that I happened to look into their business department.
I found out that they’re planning to change their director and that Miss Lewis is competing with Jacob Zahn.
And as a result, I also looked at Jacob’s profile and got to see the files of their entire department.”
“Mr.
CEO, you have met Miss Lewis in person, right?” Wallace asked again.
Lyke Zhekova: “!”
“Of course I have!” He couldn’t lose this round.
Wallace had only seen her photographs.
“I thought so, Miss Lewis is your friend, you must have met her in person.” Wallace responded.
Lyke Zhekova: “!”
Why did he feel like he was being set up by this youngster?
Then he saw Wallace rubbing his hands together, gauging Lyke’s reaction all the while and saying, “Hey, Miss Lewis, even those ID photos that reduce one’s looks by at least 30%, are taken so well by her, I wonder how beautiful she must be in person?”
Lyke Zhekova: “!”
He would definitely not tell Wallace how beautiful Peggy Lewis was.
Eventually, Wallace said, “However, it’s not important.
I will be meeting Miss Lewis very soon anyway.”
Lyke Zhekova: “!”
Lyke was left speechless as he saw Wallace Martin looking excited and hopeful, saying: “Mr.
CEO, is Miss Lewis really just a friend to you?”
Lyke Zhekova stared at him, “And what if she is?”
“I am just asking if there’s a chance of her becoming!” Even with all the guts he could muster today, Wallace was still backing out a bit.
But knowing that chances like these don’t come every day, Wallace did not want to miss out.
No matter how intimidating Lyke Zhekova was, he simply wasn’t going to drop it.
After all, Zhekova can’t possibly fire him!
Finding someone as capable, diligent, stress-resistant, and tolerant of Lyke’s cold gaze like him is a hard bargain!
So, Wallace plucked up his courage and asked: “Is there a chance she could become the CEO’s wife?”
Lyke Zhekova: “!”
Seeing Lyke silent, Wallace perked up and said, “If she is just a friend, then if I find Miss Lewis very likable, I might pursue her, right?”
“You haven’t met her yet!” Lyke growled.
Wallace, on the inside, was laughing pleasantly.
What a good man their CEO is.
Who knows how pissed he was, and he still wasn’t throwing a fit.
Whoever says their CEO has a bad temper again, will have to answer to him!
Their CEO has such a good temper!
“I know that, so I’m just thinking ahead and seeking your opinion about this matter.
If you have no objections and don’t mind me pursuing Miss Lewis.” Before Wallace could finish his sentence.
Lyke couldn’t help but raise his voice and retort: “You haven’t even met the person yet, and you’re already deciding to pursue them?”
“Wallace Martin, let me tell you, you must take responsibility for your actions!
You can’t just flirt with a lady and then abandon her!” Lyke raised his voice, “Your behavior is what characterizes despicable men, do you get it?”
Wallace Martin: “!”
Wallace Martin pretended to be shocked and clutched his chest.
Oh, their CEO is having a fit, he is genuinely having a fit.
How scary it is!
Seems like the CEO genuinely has a soft spot for Peggy Lewis huh?
Lyke now understood why Cindy Clarke was so worried about Peggy Lewis getting hurt.
Wallace responded, “Mr.
CEO, don’t worry, don’t you know me?
When have I ever been a scumbag?”
“And all I wanted was to get your approval first, if you thought it was okay.
Then I’d decide what to do next.
I haven’t met Miss Lewis yet, but I am about to see her real soon, aren’t I?” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
“I’m going over to ‘Rui Shi’ to be in charge of this cooperation.
You know, I am single, and my family is putting a lot of pressure on me to settle.” Wallace said.
Lyke Zhekova: “!”
Well…he did know about that.
Because he once overheard Wallace on the phone with his mother, Phoebe Martin.
Although he didn’t overhear the conversation between Phoebe and Wallace on the phone.
But he heard Wallace say to Phoebe, “Mom, our CEO is still single and doesn’t even have a girlfriend.
If he isn’t in a hurry, then I shouldn’t be either.
As long as he stays single, I can too.”
“When he starts dating, I’ll consider that age as my deadline.
I must find someone before that age, what do you think?” That’s how Wallace talked to Phoebe then.
However, Lyke did not hear Phoebe roar at Wallace over the phone, “What I think, my foot!”
Even though Wallace wasn’t exactly badmouthing Lyke.
But Lyke held a grudge for it.
Wallace had even made him into a deadline?
