Chapter 21 Avoiding Him On Purpose

After a few interactions with Jenny Lenig, Lindsey Juhl did not think that such a woman would make Zayn Guggenheim infatuated. Lindsey's coldness and indifference made Zayn very uncomfortable. Although they lived in the same house, they were like two strangers who had no interactions whatsoever. When Zayn was leaving the house the next morning, he stopped in front of Lindsey’s room and carefully opened the door. However, her petite figure was nowhere to be seen. At that time, Lindsey was already sitting at her office desk. She did not want to see Zayn. Since Jenny Lenig’s return, she felt that Zayn had extremely bad taste in women. What was even more ridiculous was that she could not even compete with such a woman! Zayn’s Office. "The boss doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, huh?" One of Zayn’s assistants spoke with trepidation. "Come on, when has His Royal Highness ever been in a good mood?" "Haha, you're right!" Zayn held a glum expression from the moment he left the house. It was as if the whole world owed him. This made everyone in the office apprehensive. Everyone knew that the president of the Guggenheim Corporation was a moving iceberg that remained unchanged throughout the years. As long as he appeared, it was best to steer clear of him! Looking at the pile of documents on the table, Zayn, who had always been a workaholic, felt annoyed. He got up and hurriedly walked out of the office. Just then, he saw Jenny Lenig approaching him.　　 "Zayn, where are you going?" Jenny's gentle voice soothed Zayn a little. "I’m just going out for a walk!" Zayn also did not know what he wanted to do, but he just felt inexplicably irritable. "It just so happens that I'm free. I'll accompany you!" "Mmm." Zayn did not refuse, he just did not know what was wrong with him in the past two days. Lindsey Juhl's figure kept appearing in his mind! Jenny looked at the side of Zayn's face with a hint of infatuation in her eyes. If it was not for the old man's obstruction back then, Jenny would have already become Zayn’s wife. "Zayn, I feel that you have something on your mind these two days. Will you tell me?" Jenny's voice was as gentle and melodious as a spring breeze in March. Zayn was stunned, then asked, "Jenny, what do you do when you hate someone?" "I...I won’t ever want to see that person in my life again, so I’ll just avoid the person as best as I can!" "Is that so?" Zayn's piercing eyes sank and he was clearly upset! That woman, Lindsey Juhl, hated him? "Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?" Jenny had always shown her lady-like and delicate self in front of Zayn. "Nothing, just curious!" Since Zayn did not want to tell her, Jenny was quick-witted and did not probe further. She changed the topic instead. "Zayn, I feel that you’ve changed since my return. You don’t treat me as you have previously. I’ve been thinking that I shouldn’t have come back and you also don’t want me to come back, right?" How could Zayn miss the anguish in Jenny's eyes? Zayn had always treated Jenny like a sister since the beginning and valued their childhood relationship, so he could not bear to see her sad. "How can it be? Don’t overthink it!" "Zayn, have you fallen in love with Lindsey Juhl?" Zayn froze and looked at Jenny with incredulity in his eyes. Love her? How could he possibly fall in love with a woman like that? Zayn sneered as if he had heard some kind of joke, "There’s no way I would fall in love with that kind of woman!" "Are you mad? I was just asking casually." Jenny and Zayn did not have the desire to continue shopping, so they went back to their respective offices, and each of them was deep in their own thoughts. When Jenny got back to the office, she put down her act and flung her arm, pushing the glass on the table to the ground. She never would have imagined that woman would get the opportunity to squeeze into her relationship with Zayn. Based on Zayn’s actions earlier, he was clueless, but Jenny could see the situation clearly. Jenny would not allow this to progress further. Previously when Lindsey was losing clients, it was rumored that Denarius Corporation wanted to promote their new consultant. After so long, anyone with a brain could see what was truly going on. This move was aimed at Lindsey Juhl. "Tsk tsk...weren’t you so proud of yourself a few days ago? What? Your gloomy face doesn’t look anything like your usual self!" Fenly was smug as she stood in front of Lindsey and said this. Lindsey ignored her and directly walked past Fenly. "Stop right there! Do you think you're still the same person you used to be? If you can’t reach the target this month, you'll have to leave the company!" "Then just wait till I walk out of here before you start celebrating, okay?" Lindsey really could not stand her face. It was not like Fenly defeated her. Besides, she had yet to admit defeat! Fenly impatiently jumped out and spat, "I'm really waiting for that day!" Lindsey raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." Fenly just wanted to irritate Lindsey, but when she saw that Lindsey was not the slightest bit annoyed, she grew upset. Not long after Fenly left, Lydia went to see Lindsey. "Lindsey, the bosses gave me an order. If you can’t reach the target within these three days, then you can only..." "Pack up and leave?" Lindsey was not surprised. Lydia's silence proved that her guess was right. "I know!" Everyone was now waiting to see her fall. In this dog-eat-dog world, if someone no longer had any value, it was only normal to get eliminated. Lindsey had long been mentally prepared for this. Lydia just sighed and did not say a word. She had always recognized Lindsey’s ability, but this was a decision from the higher-ups, and everyone was also well aware of the other implications in between. On Jenny Lenig's side, a clean-cut assistant brought her a cup of coffee and gently whispered in her ear, "It’s done according to your instructions." "Great! I'll see what she has to fight me with." Jenny revealed a triumphant smile. As long as it belonged to Lindsey Juhl, Jenny would take it all away! Lindsey was calm and acted as if nothing had happened, going about her business as usual. When she returned home in the evening, she was surprised that Zayn was one step ahead of her. This was something that had never happened before. Both of them did not speak as Lindsey went straight towards the bedroom. "Lindsey Juhl! Are you avoiding me?" When Zayn saw Lindsey’s determined and indifferent expression, he was unable to resist and started to speak first. Lindsey was not at all fazed and calmly replied, “Didn’t you always want me to stay away from you? Now, I’m just doing as you wish."
