The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 171: Chapter 169: Settling Wages

―――Moonlake Villas.

"Young Madam! You’re finally back! I’ve been calling you, but you didn’t answer. I was worried sick!"

Just as she walked in the door, Elliana Lyle was gripped by the arm by Lana, whose tone was both helpless and somewhat reproachful, making her feel guilty in her heart.

It was only then she remembered that in order not to be discovered, she had set her phone to do not disturb mode, so she hadn’t noticed Lana’s calls when she reached the gas station.

The sky was almost bright now, and Lana must not have slept all night.

"Lana, I’m back now, I’m fine, don’t worry - hug~"

Facing Elliana’s act of coaxing, Lana was helpless. She had thought about calling Norman Bennett but always remembered Elliana’s words to not tell anyone.

"Young Madam, I spoke harshly, but I’m glad you’re back."

...

Outside the house.

Yates Zander was about to drive away when he happened to see Norman Bennett’s car returning. After all, it was the boss; he had to get out to greet him.

"President."

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Yates Zander here, Norman Bennett was a bit surprised.

Yates Zander looked back at the villa gate, a knowing smile forming, and then said to Norman Bennett, "I just escorted Elliana back and was about to leave."

This statement carried a lot of weight, and Norman heard from it that his little girl hadn’t returned all night and was just brought back by Yates Zander.

Even though Norman’s cold expression didn’t reveal anything, he was indeed angry.

"President, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave." Yates Zander maintained his gentle smile, his demeanor calm.

"Hmm."

With that, Norman Bennett passed by Yates Zander, heading straight into the villa.

"Lana, you don’t know..." Elliana’s words were cut off when she saw Lana’s expression change dramatically, who then bowed her head and said to her, "Young Master, you’ve returned."
