She picked up the perfume and sprayed it all over virtual-novel.net body before gargling with some mouthwash. She was worried that the lingering smell of cigarettes on virtual-novel.net would leave a bad impression of virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net was not cold at all. Her racing heart and anxiety caused virtual-novel.net entire body to feel hot.
She had just gotten to the door when the bodyguard standing guard at the door stopped virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net to leave.
“I’m here for Mr. Carter. Please tell virtual-novel.net that I’m Miss… Shirley.”
When virtual-novel.net said the last word, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized virtual-novel.net did not have the right to call herself by virtual-novel.net real name. She could only call herself by the code name given to virtual-novel.net by Carter.
However, the bodyguard at the door did not take what Shirley said seriously at all. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net scoffed and asked virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net in disdain, virtual-novel.net face fell.
She was not a soft and gentle woman. She would only exercise restraint when virtual-novel.net was in front of Carter, removing virtual-novel.net sharp edges.
She wanted to enter the doors of Gray Manor courteously, but now, virtual-novel.net could not contain herself anymore.
However, when virtual-novel.net was about to teach the two bodyguards in front of virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net could see that the two bodyguards did not even dare to look at virtual-novel.net anymore, let alone stop her.
The old butler led Shirley into the house. After that, virtual-novel.net asked the servants to make Shirley a cup of hot coffee. He also called someone to bring virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net now.”
“Waterson.” Shirley stopped the old butler and placed down the cup of coffee in virtual-novel.net hand. “Actually, I’ve already contacted Carter so virtual-novel.net knows I’m here. I’ll go see virtual-novel.net myself.”
“Oh, I see.” The old butler nodded to show that virtual-novel.net understood. “Miss Jenny, please help yourself, then. This is your home. Do as you please.”
“Okay, thank you, Waterson.”
After Shirley thanked him, virtual-novel.net went upstairs.
Two years ago, virtual-novel.net had snuck back here in secret, so virtual-novel.net was still pretty familiar with this place.
She wanted to go to the study directly to find Carter, but virtual-novel.net feet unconsciously started leading virtual-novel.net to the door of the bedroom virtual-novel.net used to stay in.
What surprised Shirley was that the door was opened. Through the crack, an unexpected figure was reflected in virtual-novel.net pupils…
