I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 679

I didn’t hear Gordon’s reply. I just saw him hang up and start searching for something on his phone.

His brow was tightly furrowed as he scanned through news alerts and trending topics. Sure enough, he found the headline: “Fiancée of Aether Studio CEO Stuns at Charity Auction.”

He clicked on the article. The photos showed the fiancée wearing a mask, her face obscured, but for a secretary with a keen eye for people, her figure and posture were a dead giveaway.

Seeing his frown, I assumed he was upset about the scolding he’d just received and spoke softly, “Why didn’t you tell his mother which hospital he’s in? Aren’t you afraid of getting fired?”

Gordon put his phone away. “Mr. Lancaster has cut ties with Mrs. Lancaster. I can’t tell her, or I’d be betraying him. As for getting fired…”

He smiled confidently. “No one can fire me except Mr. Lancaster.”

Gordon pushed my wheelchair into the elevator. I remarked, “You seem very loyal to Steven. I don’t just mean as an employee.”

“Yes. I’ve been with Mr. Lancaster for seven years. We’re more like friends than an employee and his boss. He’s the most capable CEO I’ve ever met—down-to-earth, approachable, with a good sense of humor. Not like my previous bosses, who weren’t nearly as successful but acted like they were royalty and treated me like a servant.” He pressed the button for my floor and continued in a softer voice, “That’s why I hope Mr. Lancaster gets what he wants. All he wants is to be with you, forever. You can sense that, can’t you?”

My hands tightened on the armrests, and I pressed my lips together without a word.

“If you’re expecting him to woo you with sweet nothings and dote on you constantly, that might be a challenge. Before, I would have said he’d never do something so pointless in his entire life. But he’s changed. His personal life has started to become as important as his work. Do you have any idea how much time it takes to cook a truly delicious meal? In that time, Mr. Lancaster could hold three meetings and close deals worth hundreds of millions. But he started cooking. He even learned how to garden. All because of you. Because it’s what you like.”

“And whenever you’re in trouble, big or small, even if he argues with you, he will always protect you and make sure you get what you want. He’s giving so much for you. Even with your memory gone, I hope you can see how sincere he is. I truly hope you won’t throw his love away.”

I remained silent, lost in thought.

After we returned to my room, Gordon pulled Myron away. Of course, Myron was busy and had no choice but to go deal with the fallout.
