CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 271: SHE INVADED HIS TERRITORY

Godfery Shaw’s ears turned red in an instant.

Nancy Allen watched this scene and couldn’t help but laugh. She whispered in Godfery Shaw’s ear, "I just didn’t want to write it down, and if I were farther away, you wouldn’t hear me. So I can only talk to you this closely. Why are you so tense?"

Godfery Shaw still appeared composed: "I am not tense. You were sick yesterday. Why don’t you take a good rest today instead of coming to the company?"

He insisted he wasn’t tense, but the redness of his ears slowly spread to their roots.

Nancy Allen clicked her tongue inwardly, wondering how this person managed to keep his face unflushed while his ears were so red.

Even with ears this red, he was still maintaining a serious demeanor. His aloof and restrained aura was so alluring to Nancy Allen...

As a result, she decided that in the future, she would always speak quietly with Godfery Shaw instead of writing things down.

If others knew Nancy Allen considered Godfery Shaw a high, inaccessible flower, they would definitely argue.

High, inaccessible flower? He’s clearly a high, inaccessible knife, a blade that won’t hesitate to "kill" in the business arena!

Nancy Allen leaned closer again, whispering, "I’m fine now, come over quickly to eat."

Godfery Shaw maintained his composure, and they both sat down in the lounge area.

Nancy Allen took out the food from the containers one by one.

Watching this scene, Godfery Shaw felt a sense of déjà vu. Just a few days ago, Sophie Allen did the same thing, taking out food one by one from her backpack, and his gaze gradually softened.

Seeing Godfery Shaw remain motionless, Nancy Allen sat a little closer to him, side by side. She placed the millet porridge in his hands and served him some dishes.

At this moment, Basil Smith pushed a meal cart in.

Seeing the scene, Basil Smith also felt a sense of familiarity. He paused for just a second before turning and leaving with the meal cart.

Outside the office, a rare smile appeared on Basil Smith’s usually meticulous face.

With Young Madam around, it seems Young Master has no issues, any problem can be solved.

Basil Smith felt good. Not wanting to waste the meal on the cart, he inquired who sent Young Madam up, and then gave the meal to Thomas Carter.

Thomas Carter, seeing the exquisite food on the cart, food he had never tasted in his life, felt a little embarrassed: "Bob, could I... could I pack it up to bring home?"

Basil Smith nodded: "Sure, but it’s hot now. It’s best to eat while it’s warm."

Thomas Carter quickly shook his head: "It’s okay if it cools down. I’ll reheat it at home. I want to bring it home for my sister."

Thomas Carter had never eaten such good food in his life, and his first thought was to bring it home for his sister.

Basil Smith agreed.

Thomas Carter was cheerful all afternoon.

The receptionist at the front desk almost felt envious; the guy’s luck was just too good.

Even King, who worked at the top-floor reception, couldn’t help but sigh at the foolish kid’s good fortune.

Last time, he won Sophie’s favor, and this time, without knowing a thing, he directly escorted the Madam up.

In the office.

Nancy Allen and Godfery Shaw were having lunch.

Godfery Shaw casually ate a little and planned to stop eating; he had a video conference in ten minutes.

Nancy Allen sighed, whispering, "I specially asked the chef to make this and brought it here from so far away; it’s my heartfelt gesture..."

Godfery Shaw picked up his bowl and chopsticks again.

Outside, Basil Smith directly postponed the video conference by half an hour.

He informed Godfery Shaw after the fact.

Seeing the message, Godfery Shaw continued eating slowly.

Hailey Smith, who was also at Cloudglow, watched Basil Smith’s actions and asked worriedly, "Brother, with Young Master’s decisive personality, weren’t you afraid he’d be displeased doing it this way?"

Basil Smith cast a glance at his foolish brother and calmly said, "Young Master is eating with Young Madam. Do you think he’d be dismissive about it? Postponing the meeting was what Young Master deep down intended."

"But Young Master didn’t say anything. How do you know it was his intention?"

"Why else would I be the special assistant and you a bodyguard?"

Hailey Smith: "..."

He felt his brother was implying something about him.

In the office, Nancy Allen and Godfery Shaw both ate a bit more than usual.

Godfery Shaw usually didn’t eat well, while Nancy Allen genuinely had a poor appetite.

Nancy Allen felt that she could eat a little more today, probably because Godfery’s handsome appearance whetted her appetite.

As he sat there quietly, even his hair exuded nobility, making Nancy Allen want to reach out and touch him, wondering what it would feel like to pinch his face or ruffle his short hair—perhaps even draw a mustache on his face. But she held back, afraid of scaring him away again.

Besides yesterday’s fall into his arms, Nancy Allen had been very restrained.

When they rode horses, Godfery Shaw would stiffen up, not daring to hold her, so she couldn’t be too forward.

Last night, they slept in the same bed but kept a distance between them.

Godfery Shaw saw that Nancy Allen had been silent.

He took the initiative to ask, "Nancy, what are you thinking about?"

Nancy Allen instinctively replied, "Thinking about you."

After she finished speaking, Nancy Allen realized what she had said, thankful that she couldn’t make a sound. Being a bit away from him, Godfery Shaw probably didn’t hear her.

Godfery Shaw indeed didn’t hear her but saw her lips.

He could tell from her lip movements what she said.

Godfery Shaw’s expression softened.

Meanwhile, Nancy Allen had already left to freshen up after eating.

After washing up, she started to tour around Godfery Shaw’s office.

The office was colder than five years ago, truly exuding a deadness.

Nancy Allen thought, with Godfery Shaw living in such an environment every day, it’s no wonder his mood wouldn’t be good.

Five years of torment had been enough; she didn’t want Godfery Shaw to continue suffering.

Her gaze landed on a bouquet of roses, the only vibrant color in the entire office.

Seeing Nancy Allen looking at the roses.

Godfery Shaw thought of something and explained, "These were arranged by Hailey and the others."

Nancy Allen remained silent.

This made Godfery Shaw somewhat nervous. He continued, "It was truly Hailey who placed them in my office. Because I haven’t been listening to advice these years, they wrote cards and found another way to persuade me."

Nancy Allen wanted to laugh. All this time, Godfery Shaw thought it was Hailey Smith’s doing.

These are roses! Roses symbolize love. Why would Hailey Smith give him roses...

The words on the card hinted at her return. Now that she was here, Godfery Shaw still hadn’t guessed it.

Nancy Allen smiled and wrote, "The flowers are nice; your office doesn’t feel quite so lifeless."

Godfery Shaw breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around his office. Lifeless?

Nancy Allen yawned and walked towards the resting area in Godfery Shaw’s office.

Godfery Shaw, a bit lost, asked, "What are you doing?"

Nancy Allen lazily yawned again. Getting close to Godfery Shaw, with a freshly brushed herbal toothpaste scent, she whispered in his ear, "I’m sleepy, taking a nap."

Godfery Shaw was at a loss for words.

Why did Nancy Allen want to nap here?

But without minding his confusion, Nancy Allen had already entered Godfery’s resting area.

Godfery Shaw quickly followed, wanting to get Nancy Allen a new blanket.

Nancy Allen was already on the bed, hugged Godfery Shaw’s blanket like a cat finding its nest, utterly content.

The most direct way to get closer—sleep in the bed he slept in, under the blanket he used.

Nancy Allen watched the stunned Godfery Shaw standing at the door and mouthed, "You go ahead with your work."

Godfery Shaw walked out of the resting area with unsteady steps.

The video conference half an hour later was very quiet for Young Master Shaw.

No one knew why Young Master Shaw spoke so softly, and everyone strained to hear his words, afraid of missing anything.

Two hours later, Nancy Allen woke up from her nap, waved to Godfery Shaw, grabbed the food container, and left.

Godfery Shaw wanted to escort her back, but Nancy Allen didn’t let him.

After Nancy Allen left, Godfery Shaw went into the resting area to take a look. The bed, usually neat, was now a mess. She hadn’t folded the blanket; well, she never liked folding blankets.

As Godfery Shaw watched, his face suddenly turned red.

Only one thought remained in his mind: She had intruded into his territory.
