Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: I Believe Your Ghost_1 Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: I Believe Your Ghost_1 At this mont, Cindy saw Anders York ask Peggy Lewis in the tone of an old man, “Little Peggy, how old are you now?”
If she hadn’t already t Anders York, Cindy would have been mistaken for an old man asking the question.
What is this ‘Little Peggy’?
Cindy quickly ssaged Adrian Zhekova, “What’s up with Anders York?
Why is he calling Peggy ‘Little Peggy’?”
Adrian Zhekova chuckled and replied, “He is taking advantage of my Fourth Uncle.
Fourth Uncle has everyone call Peggy ‘Fourth Aunt’, but Anders York doesn’t have to, so he’s choosing to show off his privilege.”
Cindy rembered that she had indeed glimpsed a ssage in which Anders York called Peggy ‘Little Peggy’ when she was going over the chat history.
Because she was looking at it while walking, trying to avoid running into people and watching the road, she hadn’t been as attentive.
“Are you out of class?” Adrian asked.
...
“Yeah, I just got out of class, and I’m planning to go back to the student apartnt for so rest.
I only have one class this afternoon, so I can get ho early,” Cindy responded.
Under Pingla Academy, the course load isn’t heavy; most of the ti is left for students to delve into their own studies.
“I’ll co over for lunch,” Adrian announced.
Ever since Cindy started studying at Pingla, he hasn’t been able to have lunch with her on weekdays for a long ti.
“Won’t you be rushing around too much?” Cindy asked.
The distance from the company to here is quite long.
“Not at all, just going for a al is no issue, I have plenty of ti,” Adrian said, “I’m on the road now.
You just need to wait a little while for .
If you get hungry, you can eat sothing.”
“I’ll wait for you, I’m not hungry right now,” Cindy replied, “The lunches at Pingla’s canteen are quite good, it’s a good opportunity for you to try it.”
As the CEO of the entire Pingla Group, Adrian Zhekova probably could count with just one hand the number of tis he’s eaten in the canteen at Pingla Academy.
“Alright,” Adrian nodded in agreent.
On the other end, Lyke Zhekova sees the eting is about to exceed one hour.
Earlier, he had specifically told Wallace Martin to make sure all departnt heads manage their ti well.
Everyone should get to the point and avoid wasting ti.
The entire eting was to be kept within one hour.
Who would have thought it would still overrun?
By the ti it was CEO Wells’ turn to speak at the end, Lyke Zhekova said, “Better make it quick; we’re already running over ti.”
CEO Wells glanced at the ti, puzzled.
It was only half past eleven, and lunch break was still half an hour away.
Did Lyke Zhekova possibly get the ti wrong?
Imdiately after, Lyke Zhekova impatiently rapped the conference table twice, saying, “I still need to go and have lunch with my girlfriend.
I can’t keep her waiting hungrily for .”
Wallace Martin thought to himself: Here it cos!
It’s finally arrived!
From the beginning of the eting until now, Lyke Zhekova has never ntioned a word about Peggy Lewis or singledom.
Although he has been displaying confidence and smugness, he has never explicitly shown off.
Even though his desire to show off is blatantly written across his face, he hasn’t spoken about it.
This left Wallace Martin quite taken aback.
Could it be that Lyke Zhekova has suddenly llowed out?
Earlier on, before the eting, he was absolutely nuts.
As such, Wallace Martin was on edge, ready to endure Lyke Zhekova’s showing off at any mont.
Yet after being on tenterhooks for an hour, the eting seed to be nearing its end.
Wallace Martin muttered to himself.
Could it be that he misjudged Lyke Zhekova?
Could Lyke Zhekova actually not be that wild?
Wallace Martin felt his perception was being overturned.
Having been Lyke Zhekova’s assistant for so many years, he should know Lyke quite well.
There were tis, however, when he guessed wrong.
It seems he still didn’t know Lyke Zhekova well enough.
Just as Wallace Martin was questioning his own perceptions, he heard Lyke Zhekova utter those words.
Suddenly, Wallace Martin felt a sense of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted off his chest.
What he had been anticipating for a long ti finally ca.
Wallace Martin was completely relieved.
CEO Wells: “…”
Who weren’t on edge, waiting for an hour?
Actually, he was also waiting to see when Lyke Zhekova Audi would say sothing.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it fell on his own head.
How unlucky is that?
Although he had already learned from Wallace Martin about Lyke Zhekova’s singledom.
At this mont, CEO Wells still put on the deanor of just finding out, the surprise wasn’t any less genuine, “CEO, you’re in a relationship?
It’s Miss Lewis right!
Oh!
Such significant news, why didn’t you say it earlier!
You are so low-key!
This type of joyous event should be shared, so we can all be happy together!”
Wallace Martin: “…”
CEO Wells is truly a talent.
ƝονǤᴑ.сօ
Reliable!
This level of surprise, making it seem like he has just found out and not betraying him; why wouldn’t Wallace Martin be pleased?
Lyke Zhekova, his smile stretching from ear to ear, acted all modest, saying, “Low-key, you guys know .
I’m the type of person who doesn’t like to discuss my personal matters.
You guys knowing about it is enough; there’s no need to constantly bring it up.”
Everyone else: “…”
Haha!
I believe in your nonsense.
“Of course, of course.” CEO Wells quickly nodded, “Then we can’t keep Miss Lewis waiting.”
“CEO, do you think this is appropriate?” CEO Wells asked, “How about this, I’ll co to see you after the lunch break and then tell you everything.”
“Everything is organized, so it will be quick to talk about, it shouldn’t delay your afternoon schedule,” CEO Wells added.
Everyone looked at CEO Wells, and they all had the sa word in mind.
The Old Fox.
Even though discussing matters alone with Lyke Zhekova brought a lot of pressure, it also provided chances to spend more ti alone with Lyke and leave a deeper impression.
Who knows, it could open up more opportunities.
The truth is, Lyke Zhekova was very satisfied with CEO Well’s proposal.
“Sounds good,” Lyke Zhekova nodded, “We’ll leave the eting be for now.”
Finishing his sentence, Lyke Zhekova imdiately stood up to leave the conference room.
Leaving everyone looking at each other, all expressing the sa tacit understanding.
What has to co will eventually arrive.
As soon as Lyke Zhekova left the conference room, he imdiately turned off the mute feature on his mobile phone.
Just in ti to see Anders York in the group chat asking for Peggy Lewis’ age in the group chat.
Then, he saw Peggy Lewis truthfully reply, “27.”
Clifford Wells: “Beast!”
Jackson Callaghan: “Fourth Uncle Adrian is already 37, and he actually had the nerve to go after such a young girl.”
Peggy Lewis was sowhat surprised; they seed to have dispelled the ridiculous idea that a 27-year-old woman is already running towards being ‘leftover.’
Peggy felt that the term ‘leftover won’ in itself was ridiculous.
Why has it beco ‘leftover’?
This is an extrely disparaging term.
However, there’s nothing that can be done about it.
This kind of discourse is prevalent in every aspect of life.
Including in her parents’ residential area and amongst their colleagues.
Hearing that she was 27 and still single, they all would think she was too old.
