_1 Chapter 983: Chapter 983: What’s The Big Deal About Laying A Hand On Me?
_1 Lyke Zhekova could only explain in a cold voice: “This is to avoid causing trouble for Peggy Lewis.
But since we are good friends, why should I give her benefit to others?”
“However, if I contact her directly, people will definitely say that Peggy Lewis got this by using my connection.
Once this gets out, things will be different.” Lyke Zhekova said.
“I know there will be a lot of rumors about Peggy Lewis taking on this partnership, but if she doesn’t take it, her losses would be even greater.
Therefore, I would rather her take it.” Lyke Zhekova said.
...
“This situation is unavoidable.” Lyke Zhekova added, “But regarding my relationship with her, wouldn’t it be better to keep it secret for now to prevent her from being attacked by others, if possible?”
Wallace Martin nodded in agreement, thinking that Zhekova’s explanation was reasonable.
“Then, CEO, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first,” Wallace Martin said.
“Go ahead.” Lyke Zhekova waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t need Wallace Martin for now.
Wallace Martin then left Lyke Zhekova’s office.
However, as soon as he returned to his own seat, Wallace Martin felt that something wasn’t right.
Even if Lyke Zhekova wanted to keep a low profile, and didn’t want others, especially those from Sharp Edge, to know about his relationship with Peggy Lewis.
He could at least contact Peggy Lewis privately, right?
How could it be possible that friends do not have any contact privately?
But it seems like Zhekova has no such intention?
Wallace Martin slowly pondered, feeling something was off about Zhekova’s words.
Of course, he would never have guessed that Zhekova doesn’t even have Peggy Lewis’s contact information to begin with, leaving him unable to contact her privately.
Lyke Zhekova sat at the dining table, pondering the business card that held Peggy Lewis’ name.
After about fifteen minutes, Lyke Zhekova finally decided to dial the number on the business card.
After having lunch with Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans, Peggy Lewis returned to the company.
Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans went back to the office first, while Peggy Lewis went to the restroom and split up with them temporarily.
Just as Peggy Lewis came out of the restroom and had just returned to her office, her arm was suddenly grabbed.
Turning around, Peggy saw it was Jacob Zahn.
“Jacob Zahn, what are…” Her sentence was cut short as Jacob Zahn, gripping her arm, led her away.
Jacob Zahn walked briskly, showing no intention of accommodating Peggy Lewis’s pace.
“Jacob Zahn, what are you doing!” Peggy tried to shake off his hand, but Jacob Zahn held her tight, making it impossible for her to shake free.
The force with which Jacob Zahn held her arm was so great that Peggy felt pain even in her bone.
Finally, Jacob Zahn took Peggy to the stairwell outside the emergency exit and let go of her hand.
When he released her, he even gave her a push.
As a result, Peggy staggered a few steps.
Luckily, the heels of her shoes weren’t high, and suited for walking.
Otherwise, she would have fallen over.
Peggy realized her current environment.
She was rubbing her right arm with her left hand, right where Jacob Zahn had gripped.
He had let go now, but her arm still hurt.
With a frown, Peggy asked, “Jacob Zahn, what the hell do you want?”
However, Peggy’s left hand movement was meant to divert Jacob Zahn’s attention.
At the moment, her right hand had already reached into her trouser pocket.
Her trouser pocket was quite shallow, and her mobile phone was casually placed in the pocket on the back of her trousers.
Half of her phone was still exposed outside the pocket.
Peggy kept her right hand behind her, pulling out her mobile phone.
But the phone was still hidden behind her.
Unfortunately, the phone has a facial recognition feature, so now she had to find an opportunity to turn her head and try to unlock the screen.
She needs to make a call urgently, doesn’t matter to whom.
As Peggy thought, the last call on her call history seemed to be with Clara Evans.
Calling Clara Evans, having her bring someone over would be a good option.
Right now, in the company, logically speaking, Jacob Zahn shouldn’t do anything to her.
But who knows, having lost so much and being in a hopeless situation, whether Jacob Zahn would lose his sanity and do something to hurt her.
Especially right now in this empty stairwell, who knows what could happen.
Even if Jacob Zahn didn’t initially want to do anything to hurt her, but seeing his furious face, his bloodshot eyes.
What would happen if Jacob Zahn couldn’t control himself in the heat of the moment?
Peggy felt she was in danger.
And even had scenarios in her mind of being pushed down the stairs by Jacob Zahn.
Just to be cautious, Peggy even went further away from the stairs.
“I have something to say to you.” Jacob Zahn said, fixing his eyes on Peggy without any relaxation.
He also didn’t give Peggy any opportunity to unlock her phone.
Peggy had to try her luck to input the password and unlock her mobile while memorizing the pattern and not looking at it.
Meanwhile, Peggy asked, “If you have something to say, why not in the office?
Why drag me here?”
Also, every time she thought of Jacob Zahn’s grip and his pace, she felt he was really dangerous now.
“There are too many people in the office, it’s inconvenient,” Jacob Zahn said.
Peggy immediately replied: “In that case, we can go downstairs.
There’s no need to drag me here.”
Jacob Zahn sneered: “What, you’re scared?”
“Of course I’m scared.” Peggy answered honestly, “There’s no one here.
What if you really hurt me in a fit of anger?
What should I do?”
“Why are you afraid of me hurting you if you’ve done nothing wrong?” Jacob Zahn said coldly.
He suddenly seemed to realize something and said: “Aha, you also know that you’ve stolen the business that originally belonged to me.”
“Please make it clear, I didn’t steal anything, the leaders chose me.” Peggy said coldly, “Haven’t I made that clear enough?”
“You lost your business first, and then I took over, I didn’t snatch it from you.” Peggy explained, “As for why you lost your business, you know it yourself.
Do I really need to spell it out?”
Jacob Zahn’s face stiffened, and he tightly gripped Peggy’s left wrist.
“Now there’s no one around, you may as well tell me clearly what exactly I’ve done?
What do you know, come on, tell me!” Jacob Zahn gritted his teeth and said.
He wanted to know if Peggy was bluffing.
Peggy looked at Jacob Zahn and said: “Let go of me first!”
“Jacob Zahn, you’re a man, what’s the point ofs using brute force?” Peggy said coldly.
