Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: This Table might not be Genuine_1 Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: This Table might not be Genuine_1 “Hello,” Peggy Lewis responded with a slight nod.
Even if her mother hadn’t stated it, Peggy had already guessed.
She regretted not telling her mother in advance that Lyke Zhekova and Adrian Zhekova would also be coming.
The situation wouldn’t have turned out to be so awkward.
She hadn’t expected her mother to make such a hasty decision.
It truly caught her off guard.
“This is Peggy’s friend,” Mrs.
...
Lewis reintroduced.
“Lyke Zhekova,” Lyke introduced himself, extending a hand towards Benny Xenos.
Since it was a casual eting and not work-related, Lyke didn’t bring any business cards.
“Hello,” Benny said, “Mattew Xenos.”
Upon first glance, Mattew thought Lyke had an impressive aura.
He felt outshined just in terms of presence.
However, it was only when they shook hands, he noticed the watch on Lyke’s wrist.
Like most n, Mattew had a fondness for cars and watches.
Whether he could afford them or not, isn’t it always fine just to take a look?
Moreover, it gave him sothing to aspire for.
He could save up and eventually buy a watch that was within his ans.
Isn’t it the sa for won when they buy purses?
They look at them all the ti and then save up to buy one, right?
Therefore, Mattew also owned a couple of chanical watches worth tens of thousands, which could be considered beginner-level pieces.
As for first-tier brands, the cheapest ones cost around fifty to sixty thousand.
He didn’t have the financial capacity to afford those yet.
But because he often looked at them, much like how won notice other won’s purses on the streets.
He would instinctively notice a man’s wristwatch.
The handshake was brief, but Mattew’s attention was imdiately drawn to the wristwatch on Lyke’s wrist.
And he quickly recognized it as a Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Moreover, he precisely identified it as the Duomètre Chronograph model.
Usually, since the watch isn’t big, it’s challenging to identify at a glance.
But this particular watch has a distinctive design and coincidentally, he has deeply studied Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watches.
Disregarding those watches with added gimmicks like inlaid gemstones and diamonds that inflate the price artificially,
This particular model could be considered as low-key and relatively expensive.
He recalled that this model’s dostic price was 365,000.
Matthew’s eyebrows twitched unconsciously.
Such an expensive watch.
Although inwardly, Matthew cynically assud that the watch might not be genuine.
It could be a high-quality replica.
But Lyke’s refined aura certainly hinted at wealth and seed to match the watch he was wearing.
Looking at Lyke, it was hard to imagine him wearing counterfeit products.
Because the observation period was short, and he didn’t have the chance to examine it properly, Mattew couldn’t confirm.
And he couldn’t ask directly either.
Matthew felt an uncomfortable sense of urgency building inside him.
“Sit down, sit down please!” Mrs.
Lewis quickly said, attempting to ease the awkwardness.
Logically, Mattew knew he should leave.
Peggy had brought a man ho after all.
He knew his presence would be pointless.
But he wanted to stay and observe.
His curiosity was getting the better of him.
He wanted to know whether Lyke Zhekova was genuinely wealthy or just married into wealth.
He wanted to know if the watch Lyke was wearing was authentic.
That curiosity alone made Matthew want to stay.
So, going along with Mrs.
Lewis’s suggestion, Mattew sat back down.
As for Mrs.
Lewis and Mr.
Lewis, they didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.
Even if Matthew left, they could not make him leave.
He had co over as a guest, even if the match-making didn’t work out, they couldn’t just let him leave like this.
Also, judging from Matthew’s reaction, he seed unwilling to give up, didn’t he?
Mrs.
Lewis felt that if only Peggy was more assertive in finding a partner, she would have had a lot of suitors.
Once Matthew sat down, he couldn’t help repeatedly steal glances at Lyke’s wrist.
But Lyke didn’t seem to mind, no intention of showing off his watch.
The thirty-sothing-thousand watch ant nothing to Lyke.
Even if it was occasionally covered by his sleeve, he didn’t feel the need to reveal it.
“I didn’t know Miss Lewis would be bringing so friends over today.
Unfortunate timing on my part,” Matthew remarked.
Peggy thought to herself, “Why don’t you just leave then?”
Having an unfamiliar person present made the situation still more awkward.
Seeing that Peggy didn’t offer any courtesies, Mrs.
Lewis spoke up: “There’s no problem at all.
Ɲονɢ0.сο
You’re our guest.
Please make yourself comfortable.”
“Wouldn’t it be inconvenient?” Matthew got up in a pretense, “Perhaps I should leave.”
Now, Mrs.
Lewis could not possibly agree to that.
She quickly said: “No, no, that’s not possible.
You’ve co all this way, you planned on having dinner here, we can’t just let you leave like this.”
Hearing this, Peggy wondered, Matthew was also planning on staying for dinner?
She was supposed to be in charge of dinner tonight, but hadn’t told her parents.
It was supposed to be a surprise.
And Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova, including Lyke Zhekova, they were all her close ones.
She didn’t mind preparing a dinner for them.
But for Matthew, a total stranger, Peggy subconsciously didn’t want to cook for him.
If they were acquainted, she wouldn’t be so stingy.
But she didn’t know Matthew, and she was sure they would never et again.
Why then, should she prepare a al for Matthew?
If Matthew wasn’t there, Cindy would definitely offer to help.
But now, asking Cindy to cook for Matthew doesn’t seem right.
Even if Cindy didn’t mind, Adrian surely wouldn’t be pleased.
So, Peggy decided to keep her plan of preparing the dinner a secret.
“Stay seated, please,” Mrs.
Lewis quickly said, pressing her hand down, “I’ll cut so fruits, it’ll be quick.”
“Mom, let help you,” Peggy chid in.
Mrs.
Lewis also wished to talk to Peggy privately, so she didn’t stop her.
Peggy followed her into the kitchen and shut the door behind them, whispering, “Mom, what’s the deal with Matthew?”
Mrs.
Lewis was at a loss for words.
Peggy asked, “Is he the one you’re trying to set up with?”
“You have soone already and you didn’t even tell us.
Look at the ss you’ve created,” Mrs.
Lewis stated, shifting the bla onto Peggy.
“What do you an ‘have soone’?
Lyke is a friend.
Besides, even if I didn’t bring him, you can’t invite strangers to our ho without telling ,” Peggy countered.
“I had planned to cook dinner tonight for everyone,” Peggy added.
“You cooking?” Mrs.
Lewis was surprised and then chuckled, “What do you know how to cook?”
“I’ve been too busy to make anything till now.
But I felt it’s not right to keep it that way.
So, I learned a few dishes from Cindy and planned to make them for dinner,” Peggy revealed.
That’s why Cindy and Adrian were planning to bring little Morgan here as well.
