Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 559 - 343: Marcus Shaw: Good, Where’s My Cactus?
After eating the takeout ordered by Pedro Langley, Nora Scott sat cross-legged on the cushion, holding a drone remote control in one hand, resting her chin on the other, watching a small drone circle around the study.
Boredom.
Pedro Langley entered with a cup of tea.
With a sideways glance, Nora lazily spoke, "Where are your big wife and little wives?"
"...Wha-what?"
Pedro nearly choked on his tea.
Why is he being accused wrongfully again for no reason?
"I remember two years ago, your house was full of advanced technological gadgets..." Nora spoke unhurriedly, glancing at the robotic vacuum on the floor that started operating automatically at a set time, "Like that one."
Resting her chin and recalling, Nora said, "Flying and running everywhere, it was really noisy."
A while back, Nora used the robotic vacuum, and while sleeping on the floor, it bumped into her and woke her up, causing her to accidentally break it, and she never used it again.
Coming to his senses, Pedro sighed with relief, took a sip of tea to calm down, and asked, "You didn’t like it, right?"
Nora felt these things lacked a sense of security.
With cameras and monitoring, as long as there is technology, privacy could be invaded at any time.
Relying too much on convenient living can also lead to a loss of self-sufficiency.
"Uh-huh." Nora raised an eyebrow, "But don’t you like them?"
With a ghostly glance at her, Pedro walked in, "This apartment is decorated according to your preferences."
"..."
Nora was silent.
You wealthy people’s ways of doing things are truly different.
"Did I guess your preferences right?"
Simplicity, elegance.
Nora indeed liked it.
Raising her eyebrows, Nora nodded, "Uh-huh."
Pedro smiled with a curve of his lips.
Placing the remote control aside, Nora said, "I want two educational robots."
"Send..." Pedro thought for a long time, finally coming up with two names, "Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
With a speechless glance at him, Nora replied, "Andrew Hughes."
Catching on, Pedro laughed softly, "No need."
"Huh?"
Nora looked up.
"The company’s new model of educational robots hasn’t been released yet, but Camilo Nogueira has already given it to him in advance."
"...Oh."
That’s one thing off the list.
"Speaking of which," Nora picked up an apple from the fruit platter beside her, tossed it in her palm, and looked up at Pedro, "Victor Technology is cooperating with the military, are they researching military drones?"
"Yes."
"My senior sister asked me to inquire about—in—" Pausing, Nora pointed outside at the pouring rain causing chaos, "In this kind of weather, with current technology, how long can it last without being affected?"
"What we are developing now can ensure about an hour." Pedro squinted slightly, "However, your childhood friend..."
Nora understood, "He definitely has hidden tricks up his sleeve."
"You know?" Pedro was a little surprised.
Nora wasn’t interested in drones.
In the past, he took her out to play with drones, even organized a drone show for her, and she just clapped unenthusiastically.
That she could collaborate with Joseph Sutton on mechanical drones was unexpected to Pedro, as he never thought she’d pay attention to this kind of thing.
Taking a bite of the apple, after swallowing, Nora casually said, "Just a guess."
Setting the teacup on the table, Pedro walked over, bent down, and took the apple from her hand.
Nora was slightly startled, "What are you doing?"
"Peeling it first."
Pedro picked up a fruit knife near the fruit platter.
Finding a cushion behind her, Nora placed it by her side for Pedro to sit on.
She rested her chin in her palms, watching Pedro peel the apple. Bored, she asked, "Isn’t there an automatic peeler?"
"There is."
Nora was taken aback, "Even for this?"
Pedro nodded, "Uh-huh. Butler Loxley bought one, but after using it once, it gathered dust, with no opportunity to use it again."
"Why?"
"It’s cumbersome to find. Besides, he’s really good with a knife."
"..."
Nora silently expressed her understanding.
Every year, during the New Year, they need to chop meat for dumplings at home. Michael Quinn once thoughtfully bought Antonio Easton a meat grinder, but Antonio never used it and chopped meat with great skill himself.
While peeling the apple, Pedro shifted the topic, "Do you know the hidden reasons Joseph Sutton became a teacher?"
Nora made a sound, "I can guess."
Pedro glanced over.
Leaning closer, Nora placed both hands on his shoulders, resting her chin as she stared at the apple in his hands, "Let me have a bite first."
With a light laugh, Pedro freed a hand, lifted her chin, and kissed her lips.
Nora widened her eyes in surprise.
Fortunately, Pedro only gave a gentle peck and quickly released her.
Nora was momentarily dumbfounded, "Looking for trouble?"
Scooping a piece of apple with the tip of the knife, Pedro brought it to her lips, smiling pleasantly, "Returning the favor."
