“What’s going on with the CEO?” Vice President Zeigler dared not even blink, let alone take his gaze off Adrian Zhekova. He looked anxiously at Sheldon Rowland beside him and asked.
“Don’t ask. If you ask, you will just get ‘I don’t know.”‘ Sheldon Rowland didn’t divert his gaze either, continued to watch Zhekova in conversation.
On the other end, Cindy Clarke said, “Then you’re busy, I won’t bother. I will take my leave first.”
Adrian Zhekova nodded, “Are you heading straight home?”
Cindy Clarke felt that Adrian Zhekova being so detailed with her was quite unexpected.
However, she still nodded. ‘Yeah.”
“If that’s the case, send me a message on Whatsapp when you reach home.” Adrian Zhekova added.
Cindy Clarke never thought she would need to initiate contact with Adrian Zhekova. However, based on Adrian Zhekova’s suggestion, it seemed like they were very close.
Cindy Clarke was unsure of how to respond and under Adrian Zhekova’s gaze, all she could muster up was a slow, “Alright.”
In reality, her head was entirely blank, and she had no idea why she had agreed to that.
At that moment, a notification rang out loud from her phone- a Whatsapp message.
Instead of checking it immediately, Cindy Clarke decided to say her goodbyes to Adrian Zhekova first, “Then, I will take my leave.” Adrian Zhekova nodded.
Cindy Clarke stepped aside and checked her phone.
It was Peggy Lewis who sent a message on Whatsapp.
As Cindy Clarke opened and was about to put the phone to her ear, the sound of the voice message filled the air before she had a chance to listen to it privately, “Cindy Clarke, you need to check Facebook. Arthur Woods’s family has posted a complaint online accusing you of collaborating with the nursery and driving Arthur away, and treating them unfairly.”
Whatever Peggy Lewis said after that, Adrian Zhekova didn’t catch as Cindy had lifted the mobile phone closer to her ear.
As Cindy finished listening to the message and was about to leave, she noticed
Sheldon Rowland too and quickly greeted him, “Mr. Sheldon.”
“Cindy, are you here to deliver food?” Sheldon replied, not waiting for her to answer, he had already seen her. “How did you come here? Want me to arrange a ride to take you back?”
Just as Sheldon finished his sentence, he could feel an icy stare darting his way, giving him chills.
When Sheldon looked back, he saw Adrian Zhekova staring back at him coldly.
“…” Sheldon instantly backed down. “I won’t go with you then, goodbye.”
Cindy Clarke:
Adrian Zhekova walked over to Cindy, lamenting at his earlier oversight of not arranging a car to send Cindy back.
Is Sheldon just here to make him look bad?
Sheldon is emphasizing what he should’ve done as the boss.
Stopping in front of Cindy, Adrian Zhekova shot Sheldon a contemptuous glance and told Cindy, “My driver will take you back.” Vice President Zeigler and the rest were all stunned.
Since when did our CEO start behaving like a gentleman?
Their CEO is the kind of guy who would probably watch a woman tall into the mud rather than help her out, thinking that she could climb out on her own.
And now, this tough-guy has learned to drive a girl home?
Sheldon didn’t dare to say another word now.
“I came here on my electric bicycle,” Cindy said.
Adrian Zhekova furrowed his brows, “Why on earth do you ride an electric bicycle in such hot weather?”
According to her profile, Cindy earns enough to afford a car and cope with the daily expenses, even considering her mortgage repayments.
“In order to deliver the meals on time, riding a bicycle is a bit faster, especially during traffic,” explained Cindy.
If she took her car to deliver meals, the gas money alone would cost more than she would earn from one meal delivery, making it a losing proposition. Even though currently, she can afford her expenses without making deliveries.
She still wants to save as much as possible..
