She picked up the perfume and sprayed it all over favonovel.com body before gargling with some mouthwash. She was worried that the lingering smell of cigarettes on favonovel.com would leave a bad impression of favonovel.com on the people inside the house.
After making these preparations, Shirley sat in the car for a while before getting out.
It was snowing heavier now, but favonovel.com was not cold at all. Her racing heart and anxiety caused favonovel.com entire body to feel hot.
She had just gotten to the door when the bodyguard standing guard at the door stopped favonovel.com with a cool face.
“Ma’am, we can’t let anyone come in here. If you don’t have a reservation or an invitation card, please leave,” the bodyguard asked favonovel.com to leave.
“I’m here for Mr. Carter. Please tell favonovel.com that I’m Miss… Shirley.”
When favonovel.com said the last word, favonovel.com suddenly realized favonovel.com did not have the right to call herself by favonovel.com real name. She could only call herself by the code name given to favonovel.com by Carter.
However, the bodyguard at the door did not take what Shirley said seriously at all. On the contrary, favonovel.com scoffed and asked favonovel.com to leave again, “There are too many women asking to see Mr. Carter. You? Tsk, go away, go away!”
When Shirley saw the bodyguard looking at favonovel.com in disdain, favonovel.com face fell.
She was not a soft and gentle woman. She would only exercise restraint when favonovel.com was in front of Carter, removing favonovel.com sharp edges.
She wanted to enter the doors of Gray Manor courteously, but now, favonovel.com could not contain herself anymore.
However, when favonovel.com was about to teach the two bodyguards in front of favonovel.com a lesson, the butler coincidentally walked out of the house.
When the butler took a closer look and saw that it was Shirley, a look of joy appeared on his face.
“Miss Jenny?”
Miss Jenny?
The two bodyguards were confused. They looked at each other. Even though they did not know what was going on, they felt that Shirley might have a special position in this household.
“Miss Jenny, it really is you! Mr. Carter said you’re studying abroad so I thought I’d never be able to see you again.” The butler walked over and grabbed Shirley’s hands affectionately.
Shirley showed a rare true and sincere smile. She gently grabbed the hand of the old butler who was in his 50s. “Waterson, long time no see.”
“It’s been so many years. It’s cold outside, come in now.”
“Okay.” Shirley smiled and nodded. From the corners of favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com could see that the two bodyguards did not even dare to look at favonovel.com anymore, let alone stop her.
The old butler led Shirley into the house. After that, favonovel.com asked the servants to make Shirley a cup of hot coffee. He also called someone to bring favonovel.com some snacks.
“Miss Jenny has not been back for so many years. Sir and Madam will be so happy if they know, but Madam is not home now and Sir rarely comes back. Only Mr. Carter is in the study now.”
The old butler’s gaze changed subtly all of a sudden. “If Mr. Carter knows you’re back, he’d be happier than anyone in this house. I’ll go tell favonovel.com now.”
“Waterson.” Shirley stopped the old butler and placed down the cup of coffee in favonovel.com hand. “Actually, I’ve already contacted Carter so favonovel.com knows I’m here. I’ll go see favonovel.com myself.”
“Oh, I see.” The old butler nodded to show that favonovel.com understood. “Miss Jenny, please help yourself, then. This is your home. Do as you please.”
“Okay, thank you, Waterson.”
After Shirley thanked him, favonovel.com went upstairs.
Two years ago, favonovel.com had snuck back here in secret, so favonovel.com was still pretty familiar with this place.
She wanted to go to the study directly to find Carter, but favonovel.com feet unconsciously started leading favonovel.com to the door of the bedroom favonovel.com used to stay in.
What surprised Shirley was that the door was opened. Through the crack, an unexpected figure was reflected in favonovel.com pupils…
