NOVPUBChapter 997: Chapter 997: It’s All Intentional, Right?_1 Chapter 997: Chapter 997: It’s All Intentional, Right?_1 “Could the future CEO’s wife of your family be that friend Mr.
Lyke Zhekova mentioned?” Henry Hertz asked.
Lyke Zhekova even claimed she was a friend.
How could Wallace Martin be so sure that she is his future CEO’s wife?
“Well, you have less understanding of our CEO than I do,” said Wallace Martin, “It’s a long story, anyway, she is bound to be my future CEO’s wife.”
The moment Henry Hertz heard this, he leaned closer to Wallace Martin.
Putting his head close to Wallace’s, he said, “Bro, if I may speak frankly, I came here on a mission.”
“What mission?” Wallace Martin asked.
“Dr.
...
Timothy felt some anomaly in Mr.
Lyke’s situation.
Though he claims her to just be a friend, Dr.
Timothy senses she’s a special friend.
Once he spoke to our CEO about this, I was assigned to investigate,” Henry Hertz explained.
“Damn!” Wallace Martin patted Henry Hertz’s shoulder, saying, “You don’t need to sneak around with this.”
“Our CEO, knowing your purpose for coming, would definitely let you see whatever you wanted freely,” Wallace Martin said.
“Huh?” Henry Hertz has been following Nathan Spencer after all.
Nathan Spencer’s reticent nature especially put Henry Hertz’s ability to react under great evaluation.
Therefore, when Wallace Martin said this, it took only a few seconds for Henry Hertz to grasp the implication.
“I see,” Henry Hertz nodded, “To show off, isn’t he?
Understood.”
That’s a fundamental rule of The Big Eight families.
He understood.
Although Wallace Martin had never experienced it personally—as showing off hadn’t been his boss’ turn yet—he had seen a series of operations from guys like Zane Hamilton and Adrian Zhekova.
Therefore, Wallace Martin empathized; he understood too.
Just at this moment, a takeout delivery guy cycled up.
After dialing the number on Lyke Zhekova’s door plate, he connected to the intercom inside the house.
Hearing that, Wallace Martin quickly got in front of the camera, saying, “CEO, I’m also here.
Shall I bring it up for you?”
Seeing it was Wallace Martin, Lyke Zhekova said, “Alright, bring it up together.”
The delivery guy, confirming that Wallace Martin was acquainted with Lyke Zhekova, gave all the stuff to him.
Being unable to carry all the items by himself, Henry Hertz helped to carry some too.
The two arrived at Lyke Zhekova’s door and rang the doorbell.
Shortly after, Lyke Zhekova came and opened the door.
“CEO.” Seeing Lyke Zhekova, Wallace Martin called out in haste.
Henry Hertz voiced from behind, “Mr.
Lyke, I’ve brought you your friend’s medication.”
Henry was trying his best to control himself, not to look inside eagerly.
Not to make his intentions too clear.
“Come in, everyone.” After Lyke Zhekova’s quick response.
The two men lugged the things inside.
Wallace Martin was the first to take out the slippers he bought.
A pair of slippers were delivered in a rather formal shoe box.
“CEO, here are the slippers I bought for Miss Lewis,” Martin said.
Lyke Zhekova opened the box and handed the slippers to Peggy Lewis, placing them near her feet, “You try them on first.
See if they fit.”
Peggy tried them on: “Perfectly fitting.”
Lyke Zhekova also smiled, “That’s good.”
“Mr.
Lyke, here’s the ointment prescribed by Dr.
Timothy.
I have brought it for you,” Henry Hertz seized the opportunity to come forward.
He then sneakily had a look at Peggy Lewis.
So this is the kind of woman Lyke Zhekova admired.
But Peggy Lewis looked rather young.
Lyke Zhekova was certainly having a taste for tender grass.
“Is this the…
friend you mentioned, Mr.
Lyke?” Henry Hertz almost let the word “girl” slip out.
Fortunately, he stopped himself in time.
“Hello.” With shoes on, Peggy stood up immediately to greet Henry Hertz.
“Hello, hello there,” Henry Hertz readily extended his hands to shake hands with Peggy Lewis.
Peggy also naturally extended her hand.
However, just before their hands could meet, Lyke Zhekova blocked Henry Hertz’s hand.
They had just met and he was already trying to shake hands with her!
Wallace Martin’s eyelids twitched a bit, thinking to himself how fortunate he was not to have told Lyke Zhekova about the handshake between him and Peggy Lewis.
Hoping Peggy Lewis wouldn’t either.
Of course, in Peggy Lewis’s mind, it was simply a natural social etiquette.
It was something as normal and common as eating.
Peggy Lewis would certainly not bring that up out of context.
Just staring at her hand being blocked by Lyke Zhekova, she blinked in confusion.
Henry Hertz didn’t show any embarrassment, continuing to smile, “This is my business card.”
He carefully handed over his business card.
Receiving and looking at the card, Peggy finally figured out that he was Nathan Spencer’s assistant.
“The things have been delivered.
Now all of you should get back to work,” Lyke Zhekova looked perfectly reasonable saying those words, “It’s working hours now, it’s not good if you stay away for too long.”
Wallace Martin: “…”
Wasn’t it you who called me here?
Henry Hertz: “…”
Wasn’t it you who insisted on someone delivering medication for you?
“Okay, then CEO, I’m heading back to the company,” Wallace Martin said.
Henry Hertz said, “Then I’ll take my leave too.”
He then asked Peggy, “But I still don’t know how to address you?”
“Please don’t address me formally, it’s a bit embarrassing,” Peggy Lewis waved her hand, “Given that we are approximately of the same age, you shouldn’t use the formal ‘you’.”
Lyke Zhekova’s eyelid twitched.
Of the same age?
Peggy Lewis has never said that to him.
Peggy Lewis also took out her business card and gave it to Henry Hertz, “This is my business card.”
Lowering his head to take a look, Henry Hertz said, “So, it’s Miss Lewis.”
Lyke Zhekova, with a dark face, was thinking about how to get the card back.
But before he could make a move, Henry Hertz quickly put it in his pocket.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“Then, I shall also take my leave.” Henry Hertz announced.
Lyke Zhekova gave a silent, cold laugh, “Let me see you out.”
Wallace Martin knew Lyke Zhekova too well.
When did he ever escort anyone out before?
This must be because of Henry Hertz!
“How could I trouble you to see us out?” Henry Hertz hurriedly waved his hand, “It’s inappropriate to do so.”
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it,” Lyke Zhekova said, “The guests should be given a proper farewell.”
Henry Hertz wished he could reply to Lyke Zhekova, “Since guests should be treated properly, why didn’t you even try to extend us an invitation?”
However, in the end, Henry Hertz didn’t have the guts to say it aloud.
He ended up leaving with Wallace Martin.
Once Lyke Zhekova insisted on escorting them to the ground floor.
He then said to Henry Hertz: “The business card?”
Without uttering another word, Henry Hertz reached into his pocket, appearing to be quite straightforward.
In a short while, he took out a card and respectfully handed it to Lyke Zhekova.
Lyke Zhekova took the card from Henry Hertz and looked down.
[Assistant to Skyrise Group’s CEO, Henry Hertz.]
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Were Wallace Martin and Henry Hertz doing this on purpose?
Giving him their business cards one by one!
“What do I need your card for!” Lyke Zhekova said irritably, “Where’s Peggy Lewis’s?”
