Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 76

I stammered for a while, not knowing how I should respond. Zion rolled his eyes at me and quickly stepped in.

"Hudson is currently staying in the employee dormitory. Our company has a policy that doesn't allow non-employees to enter the dormitories. So, he can't take you there."

Hearing this, I quickly nodded in agreement.

Sylvia looked at me skeptically, pulling me closer.

She glanced at Zion and whispered to me, "Do companies in Adenville have such a strict rule? Why don't I know about this? Hudson, which company are you working for?"

I wasn't sure how Zion managed to cover for me at the company, but from Sylvia's expression, it seemed she wasn't fully aware of the truth.

With no other option, I had to go with the lie.

"Yes, that's just how the company's policy is. There's nothing we can do about it."

"Is that really the case?" Sylvia looked disappointed, as if she regretted not being able to see where I was staying.

"Well, if that's the case, we should head back. Hudson, there's still a lot of work waiting for us at the company." Zion looked at me with a forced smile. I could tell he was at the end of his tether.

Although Sylvia seemed annoyed by Zion's words, she had no choice but to let me leave.

As we walked out and took the elevator down, Zion started to vent. "Hudson, your girlfriend is really annoying. She keeps asking questions. It's irritating."

I had nothing to argue against Zion.

Sylvia did show a lot of concern for me and talked quite a bit, but I couldn't blame her for that. She was my girlfriend. She cared for me because she liked me.
