Zane had Albi pick up Yanis from D-king Castle after returning to the company.
From the time Yanis officially married Zane and until now, her visits to the Lawrence Group were few and far between.
Though she had been here before, she had never come in so openly.
Now, she entered as Mrs. Lawrence.
Albi escorted Yanis directly to the private elevator.
"Is Zane still busy?" Yanis asked in a hushed tone as the elevator stopped.
Albi nodded, "He should be done by now."
Yanis acknowledged with a nod and followed Albi to Zane's office.
"Mr. Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence is here," Albi informed softly at the doorway.
Zane stood up upon hearing Albi's words and walked a few steps toward Yanis, "Tired?"
Yanis shook her head, "Not tired. You don't have to be so careful about everything. It's just a car ride, nothing to worry about."
Given Yanis's two previous pregnancies, how could Zane not be cautious?
Especially now, with twins on the way. He couldn't afford to be careless.
In fact, Yanis hadn't come to the company out of boredom. She simply felt more at ease when she could see Zane. It was only when she could see him that she felt a bit more secure.
"You do your work, I'll be fine here. I'll call you if I need anything," Yanis reassured, not wanting to disturb Zane's work.
While Zane had delegated much of the company's affairs to Dylan and Phoebe, two projects still required his personal attention to prevent any potential issues and irreversible losses.
News of Yanis's presence in the company quickly spread.
"Mrs. Lawrence has never come to the company before, but now she's even working here."
"I heard Mrs. Lawrence is a skilled designer with her own studio. Why would she suddenly come to the Lawrence Group? Is she here to supervise?"
"Maybe she's showing a warning to those who have their eyes on Mr. Lawrence, telling them that he's a married man!"
"Don't you all have work to do?"
As these discussions circulated, a cold voice cut through from behind.
The speaker was Ruth Walpole, the project manager.
"Ms. Walpole."
"Ms. Walpole."
The group greeted Ruth before dispersing.
"Janice Zimmerman," Ruth called out to one of them.
Janice stopped in her tracks and turned to Ruth, "Ms. Walpole, do you need something?"
"Come with me," Ruth instructed before heading toward her office.
"Take care!" the others whispered as Janice left.
Inside the office, Janice stood nervously before Ruth's desk. After Ruth settled into her seat, Janice spoke up, "Ms. Walpole, what did you want to discuss?"
Ruth lifted her gaze to Janice, "What were you all talking about just now?"
Janice hadn't expected this question from Ruth. After a moment's hesitation, she replied, "We were... discussing Mrs. Lawrence's presence in the company."
