NOVPUBChapter 971: Chapter 971: Holding Hands!_1 Chapter 971: Chapter 971: Holding Hands!_1 “I am just a little assistant, it’s too much to receive a special send-off from CEO Evans,” Wallace Martin said.
“Don’t say that.” CEO Evans was scared by this modest remark.
He then sighed, “Majestic is such a large company, always being careful and prudent.
And Mr.
Martin, you are also cautious being next to CEO Zhekova, truly a role model for us.
There is so much for us to learn from you.”
Wallace Martin exchanged polite remarks with CEO Evans.
Manager Thompson also said, “CEO Evans, I will return…
...
to discuss this matter with Peggy Lewis.”
“Alright,” CEO Evans said.
He wasn’t worried that Peggy Lewis would refuse.
This was indeed a golden opportunity dropped from the sky.
If Peggy Lewis really wanted to take over Manager Thompson’s position, she wouldn’t possibly refuse.
“You hurry back, take care of this matter, let Peggy Lewis familiarize with the details of this collaboration, and contact Mr.
Martin as soon as possible,” CEO Evans advised.
“Yes,” Manager Thompson responded, then left together with Wallace Martin.
CEO Evans watched the two leave until they were out of sight.
Only then did CEO Evans sigh, “Majestic lives up to its name!”
Wallace Martin just easily pacified him with a few words, and yet he couldn’t help but admire the strict requirements of such a large company like Majestic.
This truly commanded respect and was worth learning.
CEO Evans suddenly felt motivated, believing that he had learned a great deal from the morning’s conversation.
He immediately rushed back to his office and began to frantically input data onto his computer.
He decided to learn from Majestic.
Everyone at the top or bottom of the company should have such strict demands on themselves.
Start with the company’s new rules!
Wallace Martin never expected that just because of his few flattering words to CEO Evans, the staff of the company were about to face a gloomy working environment.
Nor did he expect that after CEO Evans’ invigoration, the company would indeed take a step forward in the future.
At this moment, Wallace Martin and Manager Thompson entered the elevator together.
Manager Thompson first pressed the floor where the Business Department was located.
Wallace Martin saw this and asked, “Manager Thompson, are you heading back to the Business Department?”
“Yes,” Manager Thompson replied, “It’s better to tell Peggy Lewis about this matter as soon as possible, so that she can mentally prepare.”
She really hoped that Peggy Lewis could take over.
Though she knew that the rumors would inevitably increase.
But the benefits were greater.
If Peggy Lewis really cared about these and wasn’t willing to take it, Manager Thompson didn’t want to force her.
But she was afraid that the position of manager would be unavailable to Peggy Lewis.
At least she wouldn’t pass through CEO Evans.
As Manager Thompson was thinking about this, she heard Wallace Martin say, “Manager Thompson, I was wondering if I could tag along to meet Miss Lewis?
It would better facilitate our future cooperation.”
Upon hearing this, Manager Thompson thought that Peggy Lewis probably had no chance to refuse now.
“Of course,” How could Manager Thompson refuse?
When the elevator stopped, Manager Thompson said, “Mr.
Martin, please come with me.”
Manager Thompson took Wallace Martin to the Business Department.
“Come straight to my office,” Manager Thompson said.
“Alright,” Wallace Martin nodded.
So, Manager Thompson took Wallace Martin to her office first.
She then dialed the desk phone on Peggy Lewis’ table: “Peggy, come to my office.”
“Yes,” Peggy Lewis nodded and then got up to leave.
In the office, the other colleagues had just seen Wallace Martin following Manager Thompson.
But not everyone knew who Wallace Martin was.
Tiffany Wagner said, “Who was the man who accompanied Manager Thompson just now?
He looks familiar.”
Abigail Ackehurst didn’t like talking with Jacob Zahn or his sycophants, so she messaged Clara Evans on Whatsapp: “Did you see?
He looks familiar.”
Clara Evans: “You’re not alone, I also think he looks familiar.”
In the entire office, only Jacob Zahn knew that this person was Wallace Martin, Lyke Zhekova’s assistant.
Even within Majestic, he was second only to the CEO, a supremely important figure.
Previously, for this collaboration, Jacob Zahn had often gone to Majestic to see Mr.
Houston.
So, of course, he had met Wallace Martin.
Although they hadn’t spoken, they had seen each other a few times while passing by.
Jacob Zahn’s face turned somber, his brows furrowed.
Why would Wallace Martin come in person, and even go to the office with Manager Thompson?
Could this be related to the collaboration?
But if the collaboration with Majestic is the concern at hand, why did Manager Thompson call Peggy Lewis to her office instead of him?
Peggy Lewis reached the door of Manager Thompson’s office, knocked twice, and heard Manager Thompson invite her in.
After Peggy Lewis entered, she also saw Wallace Martin.
Peggy Lewis didn’t know Wallace Martin, she didn’t have any opportunity to interact before.
She just thought he looked familiar.
Abigail Ackehurst and the others also found Wallace Martin familiar, mainly because whenever Lyke Zhekova appeared on camera or was reported, Wallace Martin was usually at her side.
So they had all seen Wallace Martin, but they simply didn’t recall instantly.
“Manager Thompson,” Peggy Lewis greeted, “This is…
?”
Albeit Wallace Martin’s presence, Manager Thompson might have something to discuss with her.
Manager Thompson smiled and said, “This is Mr.
Wallace Martin, the assistant to CEO Zhekova from Majestic.”
CEO Zhekova?
Lyke Zhekova?”
Peggy Lewis’s eyes widened for a moment.
Wallace Martin knew that Peggy Lewis must know their CEO!
But he didn’t know under what circumstances their CEO had met Peggy Lewis.
He couldn’t figure it out.
Usually, Lyke Zhekova didn’t have many opportunities to meet girls.
Not because these girls didn’t come to find him.
But because Lyke Zhekova didn’t give these girls an opportunity to find him.
As soon as he clocked out, he went home.
Once he left the house, he went to work.
Who had the chance to find him?
Peggy Lewis regained her composure instantly.
“Mr.
Martin,” Peggy Lewis quickly greeted, shaking hands with Wallace Martin.
Wallace Martin immediately regretted the handshake.
In reality, it was just a habitual handshake when meeting someone new in a professional setting.
Especially for the first meeting.
It was the same when he did it with CEO Evans and Manager Thompson in the office just now.
But if their CEO got wind of this, it wouldn’t be a social handshake anymore.
It would be a boy-girl hand-holding!
Wallace Martin knew Lyke Zhekova too well.
Even if it hadn’t happened, he knew Lyke Zhekova would think like this.
Wallace Martin decided that he absolutely could not share this with Lyke Zhekova when he returned.
He also hoped that Peggy Lewis wouldn’t mention it.
He wondered if begging Peggy Lewis to keep it a secret would work?
“Peggy, sit,” Manager Thompson smiled and said.
After the three sat down, Peggy Lewis asked, “Manager Thompson, you called me here because…
?”
Especially since it was related to Majestic. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Recently, due to the collaboration with Majestic, any matter related to Majestic has become particularly sensitive.
Peggy Lewis felt that this time it was related to the collaboration.
