I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165: She Would Be My First Choice

Yanis wanted to leave, too. When she heard Iris, she said, "You bring back the cart. I'll wait in the car."

Iris reflected quickly, too, turning to help Yanis open the car door. "I'll be right with you."

Without looking at anyone else, Yanis leaned forward and got into Iris's car.

Iris closed the door and was about to bring back the cart. There came a store employee who took it over from Iris so he didn't have to do in person.

"Mr. Lawrence, we are off to go."

Zane then turned her attention to Iris. "Mr. Duncan hadn't been busy lately?"

Iris paused. "Well, I have some free time."

Zane looked at Iris meaningfully. "Last time, Mr. Duncan said you had a crush on Miss Thompson. Is Mr. Duncan pursuing Miss Thompson?"

Iris frowned and looked into Zane's dark eyes, feeling a little cold. But it was only for a moment. Iris replied, "If Miss Thompson had given me the chance, she would have been my first choice."

Iris's words must have hit Zane's heart. In that instant, his face changed.

Naturally, Iris could see that Zane's face changed after he said this.

Whatever the relationship between Yanis and Zane was, the only person Iris wanted to get rid of right now was Anna. So, after that, Iris stepped aside and planned to get in the car.

When he took two steps, Ann stopped him and said, "she's not your girlfriend yet! Did you just lie to me?"

Iris frowned. "Miss Johnson, I think I have made it very clear. I have a crush. You are not my type."

"Do you like her type?" Anna stood in front of Iris.

With Anna in front of him and Zane behind him, Iris felt a dilemma.

He could tell that there was a relationship between Zane and Yanis, but Iris was not sure exactly what that relationship was.

So, in front of Zane, Iris should not say anything too absolute, which would cause trouble for Yanis.

After a few seconds of silence, Iris said, "whomever I like, she won't be Miss Johnson."

After saying this, Iris pushed Anna gently away for the first time and was ready to get into the car.

What Iris did not expect was that he did not use any force and Anna fell to the ground.

As Anna was wearing a skirt, she immediately hurt her knees.

Her skin was very tender and now looked horrible.

Feeling stunned, Iris stopped his step and turned to look at Anna, who was lying on the ground. "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to."

As he spoke, Iris reached out his hand and helped Anna up from the ground. "I'll take you to the hospital."

Anna hugged Iris. "Iris, you were just lying to me, weren't you?"

Yanis was sitting in the car, and of course, she had seen what just happened.

So, the moment Anna hugged Iris, Yanis opened the door and got out of the car. "... Iris, please take Miss Johnson to the hospital. I will go home by myself."

Iris tried to pull Anna away from him, but Anna clung to Iris and refused to let go. "Yanis, I..."

"It's ok. You take Miss Johnson to the hospital first. I'll contact you later."

This was the only way that they could end the scene.

Iris looked at Yanis, feeling sorry. "See you later."

Yanis said ok, turned around, and walked away.

Iris took a look at Anna. He had to take her to the hospital first.

No matter what his attitude towards Anna was, Iris should not leave her alone because he had cooperated with Anna's father many times.

Yanis didn't give Zane another look as she left.

By the time she got to the car, her phone rang. Yanis didn't expect Zane to call her when he was with Neve.

After standing by the side of the car staring at the caller ID on her phone for a while, Yanis opened the door and got into the car. Then she answered the phone. "Mr. Lawrence."

Her voice was cold and distant.

There Zane paused for a few seconds and said, "where are you?"

"On the way back. What does Mr. Lawrence want?"

"Even if you had run there, there's no way you could get a car at this time." Zane exposed Yanis's lie straight out.

Yanis was silent for a few seconds. "So?"

"I'll come to you."

"No, I'm already gone."

"Yanis."

"Mr. Lawrence, now that we have decided to separate for our own good, I will regret it and even think you still love me if you keep contacting me."

Zane's voice suddenly fell silent.

Yanis hung up without further comment.

She then threw the phone away and started to drive.

Soon Zane called back again.

This time Yanis did not answer.

The call ended automatically.

Zane didn't call back anymore.

All the things Yanis bought were in Iris' car. After some hesitation, Yanis still drove to Linen Bay.

The sofa would be delivered two days later, but the bed was in stock, so it would be delivered before 6 o 'clock today.

Yanis went back to Linen Bay and cleaned the room by herself.

Then she found a cushion in the living room. She sat on it and turned on the tv.

It was about five o 'clock when the doorbell rang.

Yanis thought it was the delivery man. She got up and opened the door.

But when she opened the door, she was surprised to find this person standing at the door.

One stood inside the door, the other outside looking at each other.

"I can't go in?"

Zane was the first to speak.

Yanis grabbed her hand tightly on the doorknob. "How did you know I was here?"

Zane looked at her. "It's easy to find you from your phone location."

Well, it was Zane. As long as she was in Manches City, he could always find her.

Yanis had no intention of letting Zane in, but unfortunately, the bed delivery man arrived just in time.

So, Zane went in anyway.

Yanis ignored him and arranged for the delivery person to put the bed in the master bedroom.

Yanis stayed at the door and watched the workers install the bed.

"Miss Thompson, the bed had been installed. Please contact us for any problems."

Yanis answered, "thank you."

"You are welcome."

After the worker had left, Yanis looked at the man answering the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.

The man stood by the window with one hand in his pocket and his voice was deep. She did not know what the other person over the phone said to him, he was laughing naturally and said, "of course, I will make sure you'll be satisfied."

Yanis was standing in the middle of the living room, watching the man from the back with a wandering mind.

It was only when he hung up the phone and turned around that Yanis suddenly looked away.

But it was obviously too late. The man was still smiling. He just looked at her.

Yanis pressed her lower lip. "I'm going to see Bonnie. You should leave."
