I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 Share the Risks

He kept repeating the same words again and again, until Yanis fell soundly asleep. Zane gently kissed her on her eyebrow.

If he hadn't been able to understanding his feelings for Yanis before, he could see through his own heart clearly at this moment.

He not only liked Yanis, but had had love for her over the five years.

He wanted to keep her around, and he wanted to love her.

He wanted to spend his life with her.

But he was too weak to say it.

In the quiet night, he finally understood his feelings.

While someone was with an ill intention.

In A CITY, which was not far from Manches City.

The same torrential rain seemed to drown this luxurious metropolis.

In a fancy, luxury hotel suite.

Phoebe, standing in front of the French window with a goblet, was watching the raindrops beating on the glass by the wind and then slipping down the window glass.

It was not until the bell rang that Phoebe withdrew her thoughts and opened the door.

When she saw the person standing at the door, Phoebe turned made way for her to enter the room.

"Your mother didn't ask anything?"

Phoebe shook the wine in the goblet, "I'm an adult, I don't need to report to my parents before hanging out with my friends."

Neve put her bag aside and looked up at Phoebe. "Can we trust the men you hired?"

Phoebe took a look at Neve and sat down on the sofa. "You don't believe me?"

Instead of answering, Neve looked at Phoebe and asked, "It has been a long time. Is there any news?"

Phoebe sipped the wine and put the goblet on the table, and then said, "What do you think? Yanis is so beautiful, maybe there are still enjoying her."

Neve chuckled, "You're ruthless."

"Not as ruthless as you." Phoebe's tone was calm.

"I have a commercial to shoot here and my schedule has been made public, no one will doubt me. But you came to A CITY all of a sudden, wouldn't Zane suspect you?"

"Can't you testify for me?" Phoebe was testing her.

However, Phoebe thought she was smarter than Neve, but Neve was an actress, how could she not tell?

So, after Phoebe's words, Neve answered, "We are on the same side now and we share the risks and gains."

Phoebe smiled, "Let's wait for good news then."

Neve smiled, "My room's next door, call me if there's anything."

Then she stood up and said, "I will be back in my room."

Phoebe nodded.

But before Neve reached the door, Phoebe's phone rang.

Phoebe saw the call, looked up at Neve who was about to leave and said, "Neve."

Neve turned and looked at Phoebe, "What's wrong?"

Phoebe said, "Wait."

Then Phoebe answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Miss Lawrence, I'm Albi."

When Phoebe heard this, her expression changed slightly and then her voice relaxed, "Albi, why did you call me so late at night?"

Albi's tone was not much respectful but a little alienated, "When are you coming back to Manches City?"

Phoebe arched her eyebrow, "Why do you suddenly care about me?"

"Mr. Lawrence does."

After hearing Albi's words, Phoebe's hand holding the mobile phone tightened, "Zane's looking for me?"

Albi didn't answer. "Mr. Lawrence wants you back in Manches City tomorrow night."

"I have just come here with my mother today. I can't go back tomorrow."

Albi said, "Mr. Lawrence said he wants you back before tomorrow night, Miss Lawrence, you should reschedule."

Then Albi did not wait for Phoebe to speak and continued, "Miss Lawrence, Good night."

He hung up.

Neve looked at Phoebe's slightly changed expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Phoebe frowned, "It was Albi. He said Zane wanted me back in Manches City before dinner tomorrow."

Neve heard Phoebe's words and was confused, "Do you think he knows?"

Phoebe shook her head. "I have no idea."

Neve walked to the sofa opposite Phoebe and sat down. "Should you call and ask?"

Phoebe nodded, then picked up her phone and called Zane.

After a long time, still, no one answered.

Because of Albi's previous call just now, Phoebe made a second call.

The phone rang a few times and was picked up, but she almost dropped her phone when the sound came through.

"Miss Lawrence, I'm Ivan."

When Phoebe heard this, she was dumbfounded and remained silent for a long while.

The phone was not hung up, so the silence lasted for a long time until Ivan said, "Miss Lawrence, are you not in Manches City?"

At this time, Phoebe finally came back to herself, took the phone and checked the phone number, making sure that she did not call the wrong number. Then she said in a timid manner, "Mr. Baxter."

"If Miss Lawrence doesn't mind, open the door for me."

Phoebe almost subconsciously got up, panicked and asked, "You are in A CITY?"

Ivan said nothing, but just raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

Phoebe looked at the door in horror, without making a sound.

The doorbell kept ringing, Phoebe stood there, stunned.

Neve frowned at Phoebe's reaction and got up to open the door.

Then, Phoebe came to herself, hung up the phone, stopped Neve, and whispered, "Go hide!"

Neve frowned, "Who's there at the door?"

"Ivan Baxter!"

Neve's face also changed, she turned around and walked toward the bedroom.

Phoebe watched as Neve enter the bedroom before she went to open the door.

Ivan stood at the door with the phone in his hand.

"Miss Lawrence, good evening."

Phoebe was too nervous to speak calmly, "Mr. Baxter..."

"I won't go in since it's in the middle of the night, Miss Lawrence, shall we talk somewhere else?"

Ivan said gently, unable to tell what was on his mind.

Phoebe could even see a faint smile on his face.

"Miss Lawrence?" Seeing Phoebe in a daze, Ivan called her.

Phoebe nodded, "I... I'll go and change my clothes."

Ivan nodded. "I will be waiting for you at the door."

Phoebe then turned into the room and closed the door.

Phoebe was stunned at the door for a while before she walked into the bedroom.

Neve saw Phoebe coming in and looked up at her, "He's gone?"
