Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 545 - 337: Pedro Langley: Too Busy Feeling Sorry for Her [Part 3]
[Dubois]: We still have a few episodes without a guest star, the director asked me to ask you if you want to join "Escape Room" for fun?
Nora Scott was stunned for a moment when she saw the last message.
At this moment, Pedro Langley happened to lean over, took a glance, and asked with raised eyebrows, "Want to go?"
He thought he would need to hint for the program team to find Nora, but didn’t expect...
"No." Nora raised her eyebrow, emphasizing each word, "I am an actress."
Henry Chapman is her role model.
She doesn’t lack money and doesn’t need to be on a variety show.
"..."
Staring at her blankly for two seconds, Pedro chose not to comment on her words.
Even without great acting skills, she always has the awareness of an actor...
In this respect, Pedro has always admired Nora.
"What kind of look is that?"
Nora frowned, dissatisfied with his expression.
Not daring to tell the truth, Pedro paused and then skillfully changed the subject, "The look of worrying about a forty-thousand-word self-reflection."
Nora: "..."
This guy always brings up the wrong thing at the wrong time!
Just when she was feeling frustrated, Pedro pushed further, leaning over, "Promise is a promise?"
"..."
Nora paused, her ears turning slightly red.
Pedro added, "Keeping your word?"
"..."
Nora gave him a glare.
"A golden promise—"
Before Pedro could finish speaking, Nora suddenly leaned over, lifted her elbow, and pressed him onto the sofa.
The expression was full of ferocity.
She enunciated each word, "How do you want to die?"
Pedro showed no fear, raising his hand to touch her earlobe, which instantly blushed.
His fingers relaxed, gently touching her, and he slowly uttered four words.
Nora’s eyes widened, clearly not as shameless as him; when she realized, her cheeks flushed with redness, she glared at him with gritted teeth, "You old rascal!"
Leaning back on the sofa, Pedro’s eyes were full of joy. The more he saw her like this, the happier he became, as if coated with honey.
He said, "To die under a peony—"
"Shut up!"
Nora was furious, interrupting him irritably.
"Calm down." Pedro hugged her waist, comforting in one moment, then cheek to cheek in the next, "Your face is turning red from anger."
"!!!"
She couldn’t scold him, nor hit him!
Nora gritted her teeth, shook off his hand, suddenly grasped his wrist, and pressed a pressure point.
The sudden move made Pedro’s hand lose strength immediately, devoid of any mischief capabilities.
"Serves you right!"
Saying this with displeasure, Nora released him and walked away in her slippers.
She entered the bedroom, and the door closed with a loud thud.
Pedro, enduring the numbness, felt a mix of emotions when he saw this reaction.
He still had to write the self-reflection...

In the study.
The sudden sound of the door closing startled Oliver Scott and Marcus Shaw, both distracted from their focused thoughts while working on exam papers.
Oliver raised his eyes in confusion and asked Marcus, "Did they have a fight?"
"Don’t know."
Marcus was not interested in it.
He lowered his head and continued with his exam questions.
Having his thoughts interrupted, Oliver flexed his fingers, planning to take a moment to get back on track, when his eyes caught a glimpse of the phone beside him—
It was on silent, vibration off, so it made no noise when not noticed.
Now, the screen was lit up, full of messages.
?
Thinking something might have happened, Oliver picked up the phone only to find friends recommending the variety show "Escape Room" to him.
Oliver Scott has always been interested in the variety show "Escape Room."
For one reason—
Because Nora Scott knows Mechanical Techniques.
Initially, it was that Mechanical Box;
Later, it was a pile of reference books in the study;
Then came the rumor that Nora participated in the design of Ethan Scott’s Mechanical Lotus and even pulled a prank on him;
...
Recently, Marcus came first in the exams, and Nora’s reward to Marcus was to implement Evelyn Easton’s blueprints.
She handed the blueprints to him this week, and the next Monday, with a day off, Nora had it all prepared for Marcus.
No matter how many other things Nora had to do in the meantime, the fact that she could perfectly complete the blueprints, making all designs feasible, was proof of Nora’s ability.
Marcus mentioned that Nora’s techniques are inherited, not something she figured out on her own.
Overall, Oliver kindled a strong interest in Mechanical Techniques.
Now, with a variety show using "Mechanical Techniques" as a gimmick, Oliver naturally paid attention to it.
[Oliver, you must watch! I guarantee you’ll like it!]
[Kudos to this show!]
[Out of ten, I give it twelve.]
[The hottest summer variety show, you deserve it.]
...
A lot of praise.
Oliver was quite tempted.
After a long while, he put down the phone, scooted over, and glanced at Marcus, who was still focused on his work.
