We can contact again tomorrow just the same.” Lyke Zhekova draped one arm around her shoulders and held onto the other.
His free hand rested on Peggy Lewis’s shoulder next to him and began to lead her towards the Business Department.
On the business card Peggy Lewis provided was the location of the Business Department clearly marked.
Hence, upon arriving, Lyke Zhekova was able to locate the Business Department accurately.
And had gone straight to the stairwell of the floor where the Business Department was situated.
He had considered that he was unsure of which level of the stairwell Jacob Zahn would take Peggy Lewis to.
...
But, according to proximity principle, it shouldn’t be different.
If Peggy Lewis wasn’t in the stairwell of the Business Department’s floor, he would continue looking, floor by floor, and he would surely find her.
So at this moment, Lyke Zhekova was taking Peggy Lewis directly to the Business Department.
There was no need for Peggy Lewis to lead the way.
However, now, being in a state of shock, Peggy had forgotten she even needed to direct him.
So she was just brought back to the Business Department by Lyke Zhekova.
Following them, Clara Evans and the others, maintaining distance with only about two people in between, trailed behind Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis.
Watched with shock how Lyke Zhekova still had his arm around Peggy Lewis.
Their behaviour looked abnormally affectionate.
Abigail Ackehurst quizzically wiggled her eyebrows at Clara Evans and silently inquired about the situation.
Yet, Clara Evans was equally clueless and could only shrug at Abigail Ackehurst, implying she had no idea either.
Thus their team was divided into four groups.
Upfront were Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis.
Chasing behind them were Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst.
Behind Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst were Joel and Sis Anita.
The last trailing behind were Jacob Zahn, Elijah Hernandez and Tiffany Wagner.
Elijah Hernandez and Tiffany Wagner nervously looked at Jacob Zahn.
They knew Jacob Zahn was there to find Peggy Lewis.
Because over lunch, Jacob Zahn’s indignation had grown.
He had told them he would definitely make Peggy Lewis regret it.
He would make Peggy Lewis willingly return the business to him, and from then on, she would do as he says.
After saying what he wanted to say, Jacob Zahn had announced he was going off to find Peggy Lewis and had left.
So the two of them happened to know that Jacob Zahn was out looking for Peggy Lewis.
But they didn’t know how he was planning to confront Peggy Lewis.
They also speculated whether Jacob Zahn had some sort of leverage over Peggy Lewis.
As they were speculating, who knew that Jacob Zahn’s method was actually going to be brute force.
Now with Lyke Zhekova present, Elijah Hernandez and Tiffany Wagner dared not to say much, they could only express their worry by watching Jacob Zahn.
They saw Jacob Zahn keeping his face down, seemingly deep in thought.
The CEO and Manager Thompson were supposed to have lunch together and mainly discuss Jacob Zahn as well as Majestic and Sharply’s cooperation affairs.
But they unexpectedly heard that the whole company was abuzz with news that Lyke Zhekova had arrived.
Both of them looked puzzled, dumbstruck.
Lyke Zhekova came to the company and they didn’t know?
They didn’t even hear Wallace Martin mentioning it.
Both of them found it hard to believe and even doubted if this was just gossip that had been distorted along the way.
Only then did they find out from the employees that Lyke Zhekova’s arrival was witnessed.
Moreover, he stormed straight into the company.
The revelation left them completely shocked.
However, Lyke Zhekova didn’t come looking for their company’s CEO or the CEO.
Where could he have gone, then?
Out of the blue, Manager Thompson thought of Peggy Lewis.
From the start, she found it odd why Wallace Martin had come to the company in the morning.
It seemed as if it had been premeditated, almost as if he wanted Peggy Lewis to be in charge of the cooperation between both sides.
But at that time, she silently speculated whether Peggy Lewis knew Wallace Martin.
It wasn’t that Manager Thompson’s imagination wasn’t powerful enough, it was just that she never thought of Lyke Zhekova’s involvement in this matter.
Besides the fact that Lyke Zhekova was significantly more high-profile, Manager Thompson simply didn’t think a layperson could have relations with Lyke Zhekova.
Even if they put aside the distance due to status, there was also a significant age gap between Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis.
The idea of them being father and daughter was a little exaggerated, but Lyke Zhekova was old enough to be called Uncle by Peggy Lewis.
So Manager Thompson didn’t dare to entertain such thoughts.
Moreover, being Lyke Zhekova’s assistant, Wallace Martin was already very impressive.
Just having the thought of linking Wallace Martin with Peggy Lewis, Manager Thompson felt her imagination was already extensive.
However, now, Manager Thompson realized her imagination might not have been wild enough.
She vaguely felt that Lyke Zhekova might have come to the company because of Peggy Lewis.
CEO said, “If Mr.
Zhekova has come, we must go and meet him.
Do we know where he is right now?”
Manager Thompson: “…”
She guessed, maybe he’s in the Business Department?
“However, how did Lyke Zhekova come all of a sudden?” CEO was intrigued and asked the employee next to him, “Did he come by himself?”
“We only saw him when he was downstairs.
He was indeed alone,” the employee responded.
“Where is he now?
You didn’t see him?” the CEO asked again.
The employees shook their heads in struggle, “Mr.
Zhekova moved so quickly, and we didn’t dare to follow either.”
“Because at the time, Mr.
Zhekova’s complexion was really dreadful, dark and intimidating.
We had no idea what had angered him,” explained the employee.
Even thinking about it still gave them cold sweat.
“So…just now, we were just onlookers.
We didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, let alone follow.”
According to them, Lyke Zhekova’s aura was too strong.
You could forget about the CEO, even if you put a hundred Sharp CEOs together, they still wouldn’t compare.
Then, Manager Thompson’s mobile phone rang.
It was from a number she didn’t recognize. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Picking up, she said, “Hello.”
“Manager Thompson?
It’s me, Lyke Zhekova.” When Lyke Zhekova’s voice came through, Manager Thompson was startled and almost dropped the phone.
“Mr.
Zhekova!” Manager Thompson hastily exclaimed.
The moment she mentioned this, the CEO quickly turned to look at her.
“Lyke Zhekova?” The CEO silently mouthed to Manager Thompson.
Manager Thompson swiftly nodded.
The CEO was entirely shocked.
Since Lyke Zhekova had arrived, things had escalated to a level where he as the general manager wasn’t qualified to handle it.
However, the CEO was away on a business trip during these days.
The CEO was somewhat worried.
“Mr.
Zhekova, I’ve heard from the employees that you’ve come to Sharp?
May I know where you are currently?” Manager Thompson immediately asked.
The CEO by her side was firmly nodding his head.
“I’m at the Business Department,” said Lyke Zhekova.
Manager Thompson sharply inhaled.
Lyke Zhekova’s reply evidently confirmed her previous guess.
Lyke Zhekova was indeed at the Business Department!
So, he has come for Peggy Lewis?
“Please wait, we are on our way,” said Manager Thompson.
Then, she quickly added, “It’s the CEO and me.”
“I am just asking for a leave on Peggy Lewis’s behalf,” said Lyke Zhekova.
This confirmed everything for Manager Thompson.
Lyke Zhekova had indeed come for Peggy Lewis.
