Chapter 604: Chapter 363: The President’s Wife Is a Bit Fierce [Second Update]

"...Oh."

Nora Scott slightly lifted her gaze, glancing at her with an expression and tone tinged with a bit of coolness.

"..."

Assistant Finn shuddered instantly.

???

Did she say something wrong?

After pausing for a moment, Nora dialed back the coldness slightly, tucked her phone into her trouser pocket, and then said faintly, "Let’s go."

"Okay."

Assistant Finn nodded and led the way.

Nora’s aura was overwhelmingly strong. Despite encountering countless people and priding herself on her robust psychological resilience, Assistant Finn still dared not speak rashly in front of Nora. Though her mind was continuously shouting how naturally beautiful this woman was and her eyes occasionally glanced at Nora—

In reality, she remained as quiet as a chicken.

In the silence, Assistant Finn’s mind started wandering absentmindedly.

Previously, when gossiping in the group about "the boss’s rumored lover," Assistant Finn only took it as gossip, a little fun, not thinking much of it.

After all, even though Nora was known to have a boyfriend, supposedly for five years...

But there’s no way Mr. Langley has been single for five years.

——It’s said he even went on blind dates last year.

However, thinking back to Pedro’s "Queen" remark earlier and feeling Nora’s domineering aura...

Assistant Finn vaguely felt that the people shipping the Langley-Scott couple might actually be on to something.

That’s enough.

Assistant Finn dared not think further.

Leading Nora to the office door, Assistant Finn knocked and said, "Mr. Langley, Miss Scott is here."

"Come in."

Pedro’s voice came from inside the office, calm and indifferent, with no fluctuations.

Assistant Finn: ???

Got embarrassed so quickly?

If she really was the queen... shouldn’t he be more enthusiastic?

With a head full of question marks, Assistant Finn pushed open the door and signaled Nora to enter.

Pedro was always careful when with female celebrities, avoiding anything that might lead to "rumors," so when they had to be in a room together, the door was always open.

But this time, as soon as Nora entered, she casually closed the door.

Assistant Finn was startled and nervously waited by the door for a moment. Only when she saw that the door was not reopened did she bewilderedly return to her position.

This puzzling behavior...

What exactly is going on?!

*

Inside the office.

"Your assistant is quite gentle."

As soon as Nora closed the door, she glanced at Pedro, who was working, making a seemingly meaningful remark before stepping towards the sofa by the window.

Pedro put down his pen, looked over with a smile, and straightforwardly said, "She’s married."

Seeing through her at a glance, Nora wasn’t embarrassed. After a pause, her eyes flickered, "Not wearing a ring."

"I’ll remind her to wear it next time."

Pedro immediately replied seriously.

Nora shot him a sideways glance.

Sitting down, she crossed her legs, glanced at the coffee table, and lazily said, "Missing a cup of tea."

"Right away."

Pedro smiled, stood up, and instead of letting the assistant help, he went to the water dispenser himself to get a pot of hot water. Walking over, he chose Nora’s favorite white tea from among the bottles and jars on the coffee table and made her a cup.

Then, he pushed it in front of Nora.

"It’s a bit hot."

After the reminder, Pedro didn’t idle, fetching two boxes of snacks.

Pedro said, "My second brother brought these back from abroad. They’re quite popular and taste pretty good."

He didn’t mention that these snacks were originally for his nephew who just started walking...

"..." Nora’s mouth twitched, "Am I here for your snacks?"

"No."

Pedro denied it immediately.

"..."

Nora was speechless for a moment, glancing at him coldly, then grabbed a box of snacks.

She asked, "What are we eating later?"

"There’s a hotpot place nearby, tastes good, and the staff love going there."

"Sure."

Nora agreed without hesitation.

She always had simple tastes and didn’t care for fancy restaurants; she preferred places where regular people liked to go.

Aside from her looks and demeanor, she’s a very down-to-earth beauty.

"Knock. Knock. Knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Langley."

Nathan Salt’s voice came from outside.

Just after opening the snack package, Nora tossed it back on the table, then propped her chin with one hand, pretending to busy herself with her phone.

Seeing this, Pedro couldn’t help but chuckle, raising his eyes toward the door, "Come in."

Nathan pushed the door open, ready to discuss some matters, but at the sweep of his gaze, besides the familiar Pedro, he saw Nora as well.

He widened his eyes in surprise.

——Recently, Mr. Langley’s lenient and amicable demeanor made a lot of sense.

"What’s the matter?" Pedro asked.

"A trainee just tweeted—"

At this point, Nathan couldn’t help but glance at Nora, and then, under Pedro’s seemingly imperceptible warning glance, he helplessly lowered his eyes, slightly bowing his head.

Nathan continued, "He said he had an encounter with Nora Scott and Rosa Sullivan at the company and revealed in his tweet that both of them are signed to the ’Escape Room.’ The uploaded pictures were sneak shots of Nora and Rosa..."

Unexpectedly, as he spoke, one of the main subjects of the matter turned out to be herself, drawing Nora’s attention away from the phone, lifting her gaze to look over.

"The trainee barely has any followers. However, because Miss Scott is so popular, his follower count increased by nearly 20,000 in half an hour, with over 2,000 comments on the tweet. Both Miss Scott’s fans and the general public are discussing her possibly appearing on ’Escape Room,’ with mixed opinions..."

Pedro’s eyes deepened slightly.

There are always some young people trying to be clever.

Seeing a popular celebrity, they actively approach for photos, then post them on social media to gain followers, gain visibility, and boost exposure.

Now Nora is enjoying widespread attention, yet seldom appears in public, so posting photos of her and hinting at her schedule easily attracts vast amounts of interest.

——Generally speaking, companies often turn a blind eye to such self-promotion, sometimes even adopting a positive stance.

However, this young person, of all things, should never have attempted to ride on Nora’s publicity.

Actually, merely riding on Nora’s coattails would have been enough. Yet now, to involve someone like Rosa Sullivan, whom fans actively wish would return to ’Escape Room’ and even vote passionately for, was virtually courting disaster.

Meanwhile, bored beside him, Nora let her gaze fall onto the phone screen, reading online comments lightly—

"Really? It’s enough to have Miss Sullivan, no need for Nora Scott."

"It’s clear from the ’City Secret’ that Nora has given up acting and plans to pursue a career in variety shows."

"Excited for Miss Sullivan to return to ’Escape Room!’ Most anticipated guest. Someone just... Don’t participate with Miss Sullivan at the same time."

"Nora Scott on ’Escape Room’? I already saw in ’City Secret’ that she plays well with male guests, while always targeting female guests. Catfighting. It’s okay that she went at Luna Durant, as Durant is just so-so, but don’t go at our smart and low-key Miss Sullivan, okay?"

"I doubt it. Nora is too bold and assertive, Miss Sullivan and she are extremes. Just worried Miss Sullivan would be suppressed and afraid to perform. Just hope their sessions don’t overlap and aren’t recorded together."

...

Nora recited flatly, like an emotionless machine.

In truth, there were many looking forward to Nora appearing on the show. The fans and the public looked forward to seeing more of her, especially given her tremendously impressive performance in "City Secret"...

However, once compared to Rosa Sullivan, there’s always a small faction of the public and Rosa’s fans defending her... Oh, there were also black fans posing as neutral or fans.

But it all didn’t matter.

Nora specifically picked out controversial comments, exclusively those not optimistic about her.

With each sentence she read, Nathan and Pedro’s expressions grew darker.

Finally, Nora clicked her tongue in feigned frustration, raising her eyelids, "...If I don’t bully her, will I be letting these comments down?"

Pedro: "..."

Nathan: ???

The boss’s wife, just as the rumors said...

A bit bold and tough.
