NOVPUBChapter 990: Chapter 990: Can’t Take Care of Oneself_1 Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Can’t Take Care of Oneself_1 “I can’t believe Jacob Zahn, he’s playing with Peggy’s feelings by making people misunderstand their relationship.
Doesn’t he realize he’s so annoying?” Clara Evans isn’t worried about Peggy being framed anymore.
Lyke Zhekova has arrived, after all.
If Peggy didn’t want to leave the company, he would make sure she stays strong and involved.
In Zhekova’s favor, if Peggy wanted to be the manager, I’m pretty sure the CEO would immediately ask Executive Evans to step down for her.
Who cares about Jacob Zahn then.
He actually made a call to Peggy earlier, and from the call, Zhekova had heard a thing or two.
... 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
But hearing it from Peggy herself made him angry again.
Zhekova sneered and said, “It seems I was right in deciding not to give the business to Jacob Zahn.”
“With such a person of questionable character who stops at nothing to achieve his goal, who knows what he might do with the Majestic cooperation once he’s in charge,” Zhekova said coldly.
Executive Evans quickly apologized and told Peggy, “Peggy, you must have been scared, go home and rest.
If it’s too overwhelming, take a day off tomorrow.”
Seeing the CEO’s attitude towards Peggy, Executive Evans also knows that assigning Peggy to handle the cooperation is absolutely foolproof without any mistakes.
He was sure this cooperation would benefit their company and would not slip away.
So there’s no need to rush.
Letting Peggy take a day off was nothing.
Executive Evans decided to keep Peggy in the company.
Having Peggy in the partnership with Majestic in the future, there’s nothing to worry about, right?
Zhekova nodded without saying anything else and left with Peggy.
As for Jacob Zahn.
Jacob Zahn is employed by the company after all, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for Zhekova to interfere.
He couldn’t stick his nose into another company’s business.
Even if he was capable, it just wasn’t something he would do.
However, now that he knows about the relationship between Zahn and Peggy, it’s hard to imagine Executive Evans letting Zahn off the hook so easily.
Therefore, Zhekova decided not to interfere.
Zhekova left the Business Department with Peggy.
The people in the Business Department were still in shock, unable to snap out of it for a while.
It took a while before Executive Evans asked Manager Thompson, “Peggy and Zhekova, they know each other?”
Peggy thought of her guesses but couldn’t say them here.
Let alone anyone else, with Jacob Zahn still here.
Therefore, Manager Thompson only said, “I don’t know, Peggy has never told me.”
“This girl is too low profile.” Manager Thompson chuckled, “Hehehe.”
Abigail Ackehurst remembered something, “Oh right, Clara, didn’t someone call you earlier, and that’s how you found out Peggy was…”
Abigail Ackehurst gave Jacob Zahn a glance before continuing, “dragged into the stairwell?”
“Yeah.” Clara Evans paused before saying, “Looking back now, I think the voice…sounded quite a bit like Zhekova’s.”
“It’s just that people’s voices on the phone will always be somewhat different from their actual voices, plus the person on the phone was really anxious and practically shouting.” Clara Evans explained, “But I still thought it sounded alike.
I didn’t dare to ask though.”
Bullshit.
Who would dare to ask!
“Alright, it’s almost work time, you all get a hold of yourselves.” Executive Evans said, “Manager Thompson, come with me again.”
Now knowing Peggy and Zhekova have an unusual relationship.
He has to discuss with Manager Thompson about Peggy’s future position in the company.
And also Zahn’s punishment.
Zhekova didn’t interfere and didn’t explicitly tell them what kind of punishment to impose on Zahn.
That was Zhekova not being too overbearing.
But they can’t just play dumb and get by.
Zhekova is not someone to be trifled with!
“You all get back to work.” Manager Thompson told everyone before following Executive Evans out.
Manager Thompson was a bit headache-ridden.
All these daily issues, what is happening!
Too many things have happened today!
Zhekova’s journey through the company caused quite a stir.
It wasn’t long before rumors spread throughout the company.
Everybody was keeping their ears open, paying attention to Zhekova’s movements.
Since it wasn’t work time yet, there were even more people hanging around each floor and the company lobby, hoping to get firsthand information.
Surprisingly, their efforts were not in vain.
The colleagues wandering around the Business Department floor saw Zhekova bring Peggy to the elevator.
They immediately alerted each other and notified their colleagues.
But written words simply couldn’t convey the shock they felt when they saw it.
After Zhekova and Peggy entered the elevator, their colleagues outside the elevator finally found the courage to send a voice message.
“Oh my gosh, I thought I was seeing things!”
“Zhekova came to see Peggy from the Business Department!”
“Guess what I just saw?”
“Stop holding out on us and tell us already!”
“I watched Zhekova holding Peggy’s hand as they walked away.”
“What the heck???”
“Hurry down to the first floor now, you might still catch it.”
And so, colleagues who were free ran out on the pretext of an ‘errand’.
The colleagues who had been waiting in the company lobby were just in time to see Zhekova and Peggy emerge.
The sight made everyone stop in their tracks.
But their eyes involuntarily followed Zhekova and Peggy.
Until the two of them left the company.
Zhekova’s car was still parked outside the company entrance.
When he rushed over earlier, he had just parked it carelessly there.
No one dared to move it.
Therefore, the location made it convenient for the colleagues inside the company to look out through the company’s glass doors.
So, they witnessed Zhekova bringing Peggy to the passenger side of the car.
He opened the car door for her like a perfect gentleman.
Then, with his hand over her head, he helped her into the car.
Only then did Zhekova circle to his side.
Once he got into the car.
Before Zhekova could buckle his seat belt, he noticed Peggy reaching for her own seat belt.
Zhekova quickly took the seat belt from her saying, “Let me do it.”
Peggy just let go when she heard Zhekova explaining, “You’re injured.
Let me do it.”
Then, with a click, he was done buckling Peggy’s seat belt.
“It’s actually okay.
It doesn’t hurt unless I touch it, and I can move my hand freely.” There is no serious injury as Zhekova thought.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to take care of herself.
“When you’re alone, without anyone to care for you, naturally you would have to do everything yourself.” While Zhekova said this, he buckled his own seat belt.
He started the car, and while driving, he told Peggy, “But since I am here and able to care for you, how could I just stand by and watch you do things yourself?”
