Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: You Responded One Minute Too Late_1 Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: You Responded One Minute Too Late_1 She did it, she really didn't go to the company anymore.

Peggy Lewis arrived at the company as usual.

However, this morning, just as she did was getting to the company entrance.

Even before she set foot in the company's front door.

Just at the entrance, she ran into other company employees also on their way to work, and she could feel many strange glances.

Peggy didn't show up a little earlier like usual today.

It wasn't because of her relationship with Lyke Zhekova, that she had become lax.

It was rather because just yesterday she had been given a hard time by Jacob Zahn.

All her colleagues in the department knew she has the habit of arriving early.

Jacob Zahn, of course, also knew this.

Peggy was worried that Jacob Zahn might show up early and corner her at the office.

She would be the only one there if she came in early.

By the time Jacob began bothering her again, she would have no one to help her.

So, just to be cautious, Peggy decided to stick to her usual time of getting to the company.

With everyone in the department around, Jacob Zahn wouldn't dare make a scene.

But the result of this was that many of the other colleagues were already present in the company by the time Peggy arrived.

Even though the company has many departments, with plenty of employees within each department.

Not every colleague from every department can be recognised or even named.

However, all those colleagues who Peggy didn't recognize, upon seeing her, stared at her with wide, questioning eyes.

Even those who knew each other grouped together and immediately commenced their gossiping.

Peggy could guess, it must have to do with Lyke Zhekova's personal visit to the company yesterday.

Now to be at the center of office gossip, Peggy was helpless.

She could only rush to the Business Department.

Whenever she passed by, other people's glances would be immediately cast on her.

They would then whisper to each other in hushed tones.

Those who hadn't formed gossip groups still stared at her just as obviously.

Making Peggy feel terribly uncomfortable.

However, once she got into the elevator, things got a little better.

Even though it was crowded, precisely because people were standing too close to each other, they didn't dare to glare at her so openly.

They were extremely curious, but they didn't dare to turn or tilt their heads to look at her in the elevator.

This was something Peggy found amusing.

When she arrived at the level of the Business Department, Peggy quickly stepped out of the elevator.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the Business Department, she found colleagues from other departments there.

There must have been seven or eight of them.

They did not all come from the same department.

Probably, those who were familiar with the employees in the Business Department had been designated as representatives.

Of course, not every department had sent someone.

After all, not every department had employees who were well-acquainted with those in the Business Department.

However, the seven or eight people currently in the office were not a few.

This grand presence startled Peggy a bit.

Her foot, which was originally about to step into the Business Department, hesitated.

She wondered whether to come in later?

“Peggy, you're here.” Behind her, Joel had also arrived.

Seeing Peggy just standing at the door, and carrying his briefcase, Joel, not aware of the situation in the department, spoke out.

However, with Joel's call, those inside the department also heard and turned their attention to the door, where they saw Peggy standing.

Now, Peggy had no choice but to act casually, walk over to her seat and sit down.

Of course, the colleagues from other departments came here with the motive of inquiring about Peggy's relationship with Lyke Zhekova.

However, they lacked the courage to question Peggy directly when they saw her.

After all, Peggy's relationship with Lyke Zhekova was quite good.

In a relationship between a man and a woman, was there anything like pure friendship?

Hence, they all viewed the relationship between Peggy and Lyke Zhekova as being complicated.

Even if Peggy didn't end up as Cinderella and marry into a wealthy family,
since she is currently with Lyke Zhekova, she is someone powerful they shouldn't provoke.

They certainly were not stupid like Jacob Zahn.

So, when Peggy arrived, everyone became somewhat awkward.

It was as if they were caught while doing some mischief.

But, they immediately stepped up and courteously greeted Peggy: “Peggy, you're here!”
“Oh, it's almost time for work.” Someone glanced at the time and used it as a chance to say, “Then we will go back to work first.

We can chat later.”
Peggy also smiled back politely.

It wasn't until everyone had left, that Peggy sat back down in her seat, feeling relieved.

Jacob Zahn was already at his workstation.

She wondered whether Mr.

Thompson and Manager Thompson had any plans to penalize Jacob Zahn.

As she was pondering over this, a message came in the small group chat she shared with Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst.

Abigail Ackehurst: “Peggy, everyone who just came in was asking about you and Lyke Zhekova.”
Peggy Lewis: “I figured.”
Clara Evans: “So, what is actually going on between you and Lyke Zhekova?”
Peggy Lewis thought for a moment, her fingers hesitating over the keyboard.

After contemplation, she finally said, “We're just friends.”
Clara Evans: “It took you a minute to reply.”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Peggy then responded: “Let's put it this way, I know Lyke Zhekova because Cindy Clarke and I are best friends.

You all know that Cindy Clarke is married to Adrian Zhekova.”
Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst both sent over a nodding emoji.

Peggy continued to write: “I met him when I went to see Cindy's competition.

But our relationship is just that of acquaintances.”
“I even managed to get close to him only because of Cindy's influence, otherwise why would he know me?” Peggy said, “So, even saying that we're friends, is like me trying to cling on to him.

I don't have the audacity to say that we are best friends or something.”
“The reason I got the cooperation project with Majestic is because Jacob and Mr.

Houston did underhanded things, and they originally had plans to switch it up.

But since they were to replace someone, why not someone they knew, so they thought of me.

However, this happened only because of Cindy's influence.”
“Would he have known me if it hadn't been for the fact that I am friends with Cindy?” she said.

“Do you really think so?” Clara Evans read what Peggy had said and couldn't believe it.

Peggy Lewis: “Yes.”
She really meant what she said, she did not lie.

In order to make Clara believe her, Peggy even turned her head to look at Clara, to let her see the sincerity in her expression.

Clara Evans: “…”
Clara Evans, the unofficial observer, sent her another message: “If it's really like what you said, would he have known that you were being bullied by Jacob Zahn, and purposely came to the company to rescue you?”
“Although our company is quite close to Majestic, he still had to make a special trip.” Said Clara.

“And, did Lyke Zhekova tell you something else?” Clara asked.

“What's the matter?” Peggy didn't know what she was talking about.

Clara Evans: “Yesterday, the only reason we went to the stairwell to find you was because he called.”
“What?” Peggy was genuinely surprised at this news.

“Of course, I haven't actually confirmed this with him.” Clara said, “I don't dare to actually go and ask him.”
