I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Zane, Can't You Stay with Me?

Zane responded softly, "No, I've gotten things to do."

Neve took a step towards the car. Looking at Zane, she said softly, "Are you going to see Miss Thompson? I saw her prick her hand. Are you worried about her?"

Neve's words made Zane frown.

"Zane, look at me now. Can't you just stay with me?" There was a bit of grievance in Neve's eyes.

Facing Neve's eyes, Zane was in a daze for a moment.

He knew very well who was standing in front of him at this time.

But in just a second, the person in front of him became another person.

She looked at him in grievance too.

"Zane, can't you stay with me?" Neve sounded a bit upset.

Hearing Neve's voice, Zane withdrew his thoughts, "I need to work."

Neve knew Zane was lying, yet she said understandingly, "Since that's the case, I guess I'll have to let you go. I'll be fine with Phoebe here. Just go do whatever you should." Zane said nothing more.

He asked Albi to drive.

The black Bentley sped away.

Neve stood on the roadside, watching the car going out of sight, and then calmly looked away.

Phoebe, who was standing aside, raised her eyebrows when Neve turned around, "You are indeed the best actress."

Neve looked at Phoebe lightly. "Since we are on the same side, I can teach you for free."

Phoebe smiled faintly, "Thanks. But I don't think I'm capable of learning that."

After finishing speaking, Phoebe looked at Neve, "Do you really want me to be here with you?"

Neve smiled, "Let's get back. I can't let you leave alone."

Phoebe followed Neve back indoors without saying anything else.

...

Albi thought that Zane was going for Yanis. Yet they were about to reach home, and Zane still didn't ask him to change the destination.

The traffic lights were about to turn red. Albi stepped on the brakes and slowed down to allow a car behind to surpass them.

By the time his car reached the intersection, the light had already turned red.

Albi stepped on the brake and glanced at Zane, who was beside him, out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that Zane didn't intend to speak, Albi asked casually, "Mr. Lawrence, shall we go back to the Lawrence's Mansion or D-king Castle?"

Albi's words brought Zane back from his wandering thoughts. "Lawrence's Mansion."

Albi was a little surprised after hearing Zane's words.

He thought that even if Zane didn't go for Yanis, he would go back to D-king Castle.

Yet Zane asked him to drive to Lawrence's Mansion.

Albi did as he was asked.

The car stopped at the gate of the Lawrence's Mansion. Before Albi unbuckled his seat belt, Zane opened the car door and got off. "Go back. Come pick me up tomorrow morning."

Albi's hand paused and then responded, "Okay."

Zane turned and walked through the door.

"You are quick." In the living room, Lucia said casually when she saw Zane in.

"Of course. He is not going to live there." Miller, who was sitting on the side, said.

Hearing this, Lucia looked at Miller. "I was just asking, what do you mean?"

Miller had always been a bit weak in front of Lucia, but today she was tough, "Zane and Yanis haven't divorced yet. He has to keep a distance from other females"

Lucia was taken aback by Miller's tone, "You..."

"I'm going to see Anika."

Zane said in a low voice, then turned and went upstairs.

Seeing Zane go upstairs, Lucia turned to Miller, "What did you mean just now?"

Miller said in a low voice, "What do you mean? You are too involved in Zane and Yanis' thing!"

Lucia got mad when she heard this, "Miller, what's wrong with you? Yanis is not good enough for Zane!"

"Is Neve?" Miller stared at Lucia, "And today, it was Anika who hurt Neve. Why are you so mad at Yanis? Even Anika failed to take care of Neve, who is she to you? "

Lucia was a little panicked and dumbfounded after hearing this.

Miller didn't pay attention to Lucia's expression. He stood up with a cold face, and warned again in a deep voice, "Stop doing such annoying things. Leave Zane and Yanis alone!"

After that, Miller went back to the room.

Lucia sat alone in the living room. It took her a long time to calm down.

She did it so secretly. She thought no one would know it!

Zane went upstairs, stood at the door of Anika's room, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After hearing the response, Zane opened the door and walked in.

Anika was sitting alone on the carpet beside the bed with a pillow in her arms. When Zane came in, she looked up.

Seeing that it was Zane, Anika looked less nervous. "Zane."

Zane hummed, stepped forward, and sat down next to Anika, "Does it still hurt?"

Anika shook her head and leaned her head on Zane's shoulder, "Did I scare her?"

Naturally, Zane would not have misunderstood that Anika was asking about Neve.

Zane's eyes darkened when he thought of her trembling shoulders when she held Bonnie. "No."

Anika's voice was a little muffled. "I saw her being pushed to the ground by mom, her hands were covered with blood, it must be very painful, right?"

Hearing Anika's words, Zane had mixed feelings. He felt like a big stone was suddenly pressed down, and he couldn't breathe.

"Zane?" Seeing that Zane didn't speak, Anika got up and looked at him.

Hearing Anika's voice, Zane turned to her, "Yes?"

"Let's visit Yanis." Anika said.

Zane raised his eyebrows slightly, "Now?"

Anika nodded, "Zane, go with me."

"Anika, I..."

"Zane, send me there, okay?"

After staring at Anika for a while, Zane stood up and stretched out his hand to pull Anika up from the ground. "Go and change your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Anika replied, "Okay."

Zane went back to his room, stood by the window, and took out a cigarette.

His mind was full of the questions Anika just asked.

He never seemed to have thought about whether Yanis would be in pain or sad. He always had his own reasons.

What was he doing?

He had never thought about what would she think of what he was doing.

Back then, he came to her because he thought he could control her.

Besides, his feeling for her at the beginning was subtle. So, he chose her.
