Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Mrs.Sonia Jenkins, his mother, was already sitting on the sofa and was waiting.

Her posture was graceful and dignified, but her expression was as cold as ice.

The living room was filled with silence.

Kayleigh stood by the side with a nervous expression, and the atmosphere around him was dark.

Upon seeing her son enter, Sonia snorted discontentedly.

"I heard that you are going to help Lucy invest in movies again?"

Kayden expressionlessly sat down in the opposite chair her mother was sitting and nodded.

He explained, "Adam Marsh's movies are good, and Grandpa likes them very much.

Seeing him make an excuse using the old man, Sonia raised her eyebrows.

She said in a low voice, "Kayden, don't think that you can marry Lucy.I can't let her enter the Jenkin

Residence's door!"

Kayden paused for a moment, then remembered Anika's heart-piercing words during the day.

He pulled off his tie with a cold expression and said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Mom, don't worry, I

won't marry Lucy."

"No?"

Sonia sneered and then questioned, "Then why did you run away so well and made Anika embarrass

our whole family?"

What Sonia valued the most was her status.

Her son had ruthlessly humiliated the Jenkins Family.

Kayden had been outstanding since childhood and rarely made her worry.

However, after graduating from high school, their relationship became even more tense.

Sonia was a good daughter-in-law.

She did not want a family with a poor status to become her in-laws.

She knew this because she thoroughly checked her ex-soon-to-be daughter-in-law's family

background.

If Sonia was still satisfied with Anika, she was not pleased with Lucy anywhere.

The first time her son got rebellious was because of that woman.

"I don't care about what you do but I will never recognize Lucy as my daughter-in-law!"

Sonia put down the cup in her hand and went upstairs.

When Kayleigh saw that his mother had left, she came forward and complained discontentedly.

"Bro, what do you think? Because you ran away from the marriage, I didn't even dare to contact sis

Anika"

Although she didn't want her mother and Kayden to have a stiff relationship, she also didn't want Lucy

to marry her brother.

After all, she and Lucy hadn't dealt with each other since they were young.

That woman would always use some indescribable means to make herself very ignorant and sell well

in front of her brother.

However, she was not as conniving as Lucy so it was useless to hate her.

Kayden sighed and explained with a frown, "I don't have any excuse.Something happened to our

company and it has something to do with Lucy.I thought I could rush back.Besides, I only wanted to

postpone the wedding for one day."

"Then who exactly do you like now? Are you going to fall for Lucy's trap again? I don't want her to be

my sister-in-law!"

"Of course it's Anika."

Kayden leaned against the sofa with a tired expression and rubbed his temples.

"Why do you all think I want to marry Lucy?"

Earlier, Anika's words had a great impact on him, as if she was using a knife to kill his heart.

He tried his best not to lose his composure in public.

"From childhood until now, you have treated her better than me!"

When Kayleigh was young, she always felt that Lucy was like Kayden's younger sister.

Her brother's love was always divided.

The other part was given more to Lucy.

Kayden stood up and looked at her.

"Did you forget when you were young? You're both my sisters.Am I not nice enough for you?"

He said calmly.

As a child, he and Kayleigh lived with the Meyers for two years.

At that time, the grandmother of the Meyers took good care of the two of them.

When the old man arrived, he entrusted Kayden with taking care of Lucy.

"But you've dated her before.Will you date your sister?"

Thinking of this, Kayleigh couldn't help but mutter, "Even I know that you went abroad sadly because

you broke up with her! You love Lucy so much that you can't easily move on.”

Kayden paused for a long time and said indifferently, "There is a reason for that."

Seeing his silent expression, Kayleigh knew that he didn't want to tell her any more about the so-called

reasons he spoke of.

"Hmph, for another reason, you've already angered sis Anika.Kayleigh thought of her recent dilemma

and smiled.

She deliberately said, "She's married to someone else now.Let's see how you end up!"

On the third floor of the Stevens Mansion was the canteen.

During lunchtime, the staff dining hall is full of dishes and the atmosphere was lively and crowded.

Sharlyn, the executive manager, was a little disappointed that she missed today's specialty — pig

trotters.

However, she was quickly relieved and returned to the table at the westernmost side of the restaurant

with the dishes she had chosen.

Tia of the Secretariat was currently speaking, "Last time, Archie said that Vice President Meyer only

married Mr.Hill for the North City Project.But when they went there, it seemed like he and his wife had a

good relationship."

The gossip in the company was spreading quickly.

After all, it was their only coping mechanism for the hard work that they do.

It was the only way they could adjust.

Vice President Meyer's scandal two days ago had been the talk of the office ever since.When she

thought of the Bentley that came to pick up Vice President Meyer from work every day, Sharlyn sighed,

"My husband couldn't even pick me up from work.I should make him kneel on the keyboard because it

seems like he hasn't received enough punishment"

On behalf of his male colleagues, Peter arched his eyebrows and said, "That's because you and your

husband both work in the city's east and west ends.You'll be home as soon as he gets here.You can't

hold him responsible for that"

Sharlyn's envy was true, but kneeling on the keyboard was only a joke.Hearing this, she smiled and

nodded.

Then, she heard Tia beside her shout, "Vice President Meyer..."

She lifted her eyes and saw that the woman wore thin makeup and dressed in beautiful and skillful

professional clothes.

Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite as if she had walked over from a painting.

Her fluffy chestnut-colored wavy hair was even more gentle and beautiful.

Especially her pair of almond-eyes eyes, which were perfectly suited to her.

Her gentle temperament made her look less charming and more attractive.

Anika smiled and said, "There are no seats left.Do you mind if I join your table?"

"Yes, sit here."

Peter quickly reacted and pushed the plate to make room for Anika.

The Stevens Building was situated in the heart of the city's business center.

The food in the dining hall was fine, but there are a few other places nearby that serve wonderful food.

After half a year as Anika's assistant, Peter learned that she only came to the staff restaurant when she

was too busy to remember to order takeout.

He was correct; Anika had forgotten to order takeout ahead of time.

It wasn't because she was preoccupied with her work; it was because she had been thinking about

Zac's attitude for the past few days.

She waited for Zac to drive her to and from work every day, but she didn't say anything in the car.

Zac ate a lot of the breakfast she cooked even though he didn't want to talk to her.

Anika didn't know how to get along with Zac while living under the same roof.

In terms of relationships, she wasn't extremely active.

Tia glanced at her, her eyes bright with excitement and interest, just as she was thinking.

Tia was no longer Anika's secretary, so she wasn't as concerned as the rest of the group.

Furthermore, Anika was a pleasant boss who interacted with her employees on a regular basis.

"President Meyer, how did you and Mr.Hill know each other?"

Anika glanced at her and didn't hide anything.

She chuckled and said, "He's my high school classmate.We used to be seatmates for a year."

Tia's eyes lit up when she heard her words as if she was captivated by a romantic idol drama.

Anika averted her look guiltily, unable to stand interrupting her fantasy.

Zac had also mentioned in the agreement that he would display his love to the outside world in a

coordinated manner.

The company's rumors had already gone from Kayden fleeing for love, where she was tragically

rejected, to her relationship with her husband.

It was because she and Zac had been in love for a long time and had a really romantic marriage.

However, reality and fantasy were completely different.

When he was a sophomore in high school, Zac had his own table.

However, in their third year of senior high school, the class size changed from single to double.

At that time, no one dared to sit at the same table as Zac.

What was left for Anika was to do the job that everyone avoided — become Zac's deskmate.

Zac was in a dilemma as Anika secretly retaliated.

There was no romance.

"President Hill, your eyes are so gentle.When is my hubby going to learn to also be delicate?"

Sharlyn, who had been watching the entire commotion in front of the elevator, had also become a

member of the fantasy romantic idol drama.

'Gentle?' Anika thought of Zac's attitude towards Kayden and shook her head with a smile, "Perhaps."

She resumed eating and began to lose her face.

Tony was playing billiards in the President's Office at Hill's Building.

Vice President Tony Poole, who was responsible for a lot of things, could easily finish a game of pool.

The final ball found its way into the hole.

Tony shifted his gaze to Zac, who had just completed a video chat.

The man leaned indifferently against the back of the chair with a cold expression.

The pressure that had silenced him just now hadn't dissipated.

Tony sighed and raised his eyebrows.

"What's the matter, bro? A few days ago, you had a really bright face but now, it's like the heavens had

cursed you.They are all asking me to find out why our boss suddenly changed.Tell me about it” Tony

said with a raised eyebrow.

"Let me tell you.You know that.."
