NOVPUBChapter 977: Chapter 977: It’s Their CEO’s Style_1 Chapter 977: Chapter 977: It’s Their CEO’s Style_1 Wallace Martin thought, he now had some understanding as to why Lyke Zhekova regarded Peggy Lewis differently.
Of course, this might just be one of the many distinct traits of Peggy Lewis.
There are many other attractive qualities about her that he didn’t know about.
Wallace Martin noted this down, deciding to talk about it with Lyke Zhekova later.
He nodded, saying, “I was indeed narrow-minded.”
Peggy Lewis seemed to have misunderstood Wallace Martin.
She thought that he found her too haughty.
She was also worried about being misunderstood like this by Wallace Martin.
...
Peggy Lewis quickly waved her hand: “No no no, Mr.
Martin, please don’t say that.”
“I understand your good intentions, and I know your suggestion is perfectly reasonable.
It’s just that I…
sometimes stick to my principles a bit too rigidly.
I am not ungrateful for your kindness, I am really grateful that you would discuss these things with me.” Peggy Lewis rushed to say.
She felt it was not right for her to go out and delegate the work to Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst.
As it would be the same as exploiting them.
Nowadays, it is often said that some girls are two-faced.
This kind of behavior, Peggy Lewis thought, was just another form of two-facedness.
Maybe it was just her being too rigid again.
Anyway, she felt so.
Everyone’s choices are different, just as the lines they draw are different.
So, it wasn’t necessarily Wallace Martin’s fault.
Moreover, Wallace Martin didn’t owe her any explanation.
Initially, he was just trying to help her.
She didn’t want Wallace Martin to think that she was ungrateful.
After all, even Manager Thompson hadn’t told her what exactly Jacob Zahn did to make Lyke Zhekova decide to replace him, and even Mr.
Houston was being replaced.
On the contrary, it was Wallace Martin, whom she had just met today, who told her everything.
Wallace Martin timely tried to score some good points for his CEO and said: “Miss Lewis, please don’t be so courteous with me.
You are our CEO’s good friend, it’s only natural for me to talk to you about these things.”
“Moreover, even if I don’t say anything, our CEO would definitely tell you.” Wallace Martin added.
Peggy Lewis was truly shocked now.
She…
she was Lyke Zhekova’s good friend?
Since when?
She doesn’t even have Lyke Zhekova’s contact information now.
What kind of good friend doesn’t even have contact information!
Peggy Lewis looked at Wallace Martin in astonishment, “Mr…
Mr.
Martin, am I…
am I really a good friend of your CEO?
Your CEO is Mr…
Mr.
Lyke Zhekova, right?”
“Of course.” Wallace Martin nodded, seeing Peggy Lewis’s reaction, it didn’t seem like that was it?
Wallace Martin couldn’t suppress the burning gossip in his heart again.
“Why…
why do you think so?” Peggy Lewis’s heart was trembling, “You must have misunderstood me.
Who told you that I am good friends with your CEO?”
If Lyke Zhekova heard this, wouldn’t he think she had thick skin?
Would she even be able to live with herself then?
“Miss Lewis, why are you reacting this way?
You being our CEO’s good friend, was told to me by our CEO himself.” Wallace Martin said with a smile, “It’s not what others have said.”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Lyke Zhekova said that personally?
What the hell!
Seeing Peggy Lewis’s disbelief, Wallace Martin added, “Miss Lewis, I really dare not lie about this!
If it wasn’t for the CEO personally telling me, I would never dare to say it.”
Why did Peggy Lewis’s reaction seem like it wasn’t true?
Could it be that their CEO had misunderstood something?
Wallace Martin thought about Lyke Zhekova being single for 37 years and his solitary accomplishments, and felt that this was not impossible.
It seems to fit their CEO’s style.
Peggy Lewis: “…”
“Miss Lewis, you do know our CEO, right?” Wallace Martin was even starting to think about sitting down with Peggy Lewis and having a good gossip session about this.
Gossiping at the company’s entrance just didn’t feel right.
It lacked a cup of coffee.
“Yes, I do know him.” Peggy Lewis’s head was now full of wood, like rust, making it extremely difficult to think.
“Then there’s no mistake.” Wallace Martin sighed in relief.
Lucky that she did know him.
It wasn’t Lyke Zhekova’s illusion.
Otherwise, he would suggest that Lyke Zhekova should see a doctor.
Wallace Martin still wanted to sit down with Peggy Lewis and have a good gossip session.
So he pretended to look at the time on his wrist.
“Oh my, it’s already 11:30.” Wallace Martin said, “When do you break for lunch?”
“At 12.” Peggy Lewis responded somewhat woodenly.
She was still in shock from Wallace Martin saying that Lyke Zhekova had personally said that she and Zhekova were good friends and couldn’t snap out of it.
Wallace Martin said, “Well, there’s only half an hour left, why don’t we go have lunch now?”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
How could she refuse?
After all, Wallace Martin was her client.
But, the way Wallace Martin treated her made Peggy Lewis unsure.
Was it because Lyke Zhekova said she was Lyke Zhekova’s friend, that’s why Wallace Martin treated her so well?
Or…
did Wallace Martin have other…
ideas?
Peggy Lewis didn’t think she was over-imagining things.
But for someone she met for the first time today, Wallace Martin’s behavior was indeed a bit too unusual.
However, no matter what, now that Wallace Martin’s intentions were unclear, Peggy Lewis didn’t want to offend him either.
She thought to herself that having a meal and getting to know more about Wallace Martin wasn’t a bad idea.
So she intended to agree.
Just as she was about to do so, Wallace Martin’s mobile phone rang.
Wallace Martin took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Lyke Zhekova.
Wallace Martin immediately knew that Lyke Zhekova obviously wanted to know how things were going on Peggy Lewis’ side.
However, why didn’t Lyke Zhekova directly call Peggy Lewis?
Wallace Martin suddenly thought about how Peggy Lewis had reacted when she heard him say that Lyke Zhekova was her good friend.
Could there be a misunderstanding in all of this?
Was it probably just wishful thinking on their CEO’s part?
Of course, in his dreams, Wallace Martin would never imagine that Lyke Zhekova didn’t even have Peggy Lewis’s contact information yet.
Wallace Martin apologized to Peggy Lewis with a smile and said, “Sorry, I need to take a call.”
“Please, go ahead.” After saying this with a smile, Peggy trod a step back to give him some space.
Wallace Martin answered the phone call: “Mr.
CEO.”
“Haven’t you finished talking yet?” A voice filled with implicit annoyance came from the phone, it was Lyke Zhekova.
“…” Thinking about the lunch he was about to have with Peggy Lewis, Wallace Martin felt that it might not materialize.
He didn’t have the guts to tell Lyke Zhekova that he wanted to have lunch with Peggy Lewis.
So he could only tell Lyke Zhekova honestly, “Mr.
CEO, we have just finished talking, we…”
Just as Wallace Martin said “we,” he immediately realized something was off and hurriedly corrected himself: “I am currently at the company’s entrance.”
“You guys?” Lyke Zhekova squinted, instantly hooking on to the main point.
