Chapter 18 Being Reluctant to Leave
Nancy sat quietly with a stuffed rabbit toy in her arms. What an adorable girl!
Alex glanced at Nancy and thought she was meek and quiet. He understood why Mr. Brook liked her so much. Alex also became more certain that the Brook family had found its missing daughter.
The tablet computer was put on the small table, and there was a plate of fruits on the left side of the computer. The fruits were all washed and various, including grapes, strawberries, bunny-shaped apple slices, bananas, and oranges.
There was a cup of milky tea next to the plate of fruits. On the right side of the computer were all kinds of dried fruit and candies. Nancy was inundated with all kinds of delicious food and snacks.
Nancy held the rabbit toy in her arms, her chin resting at the top of the toy. She stared at Alex, who was busy putting all he bought on the table. Everything was handily placed for Nancy.
Alex reminded Nancy of Mr. Benjamin, who would also place food in order as Nancy ate.
"Thank you, Uncle Alex."
Nancy thanked Alex sweetly.
Alex wore a gentle smile.
"Miss Brook, you can call me at any time if you need anything else."
Nancy nodded. Alex looked at the Elderly Mr. Brook, "I will take my leave if you don't have any needs."
"Ok. You did a good job."
The Elderly Mr. Brook looked at Nancy and felt satisfied.
Alex left with a glimmer of a smile in his eyes. He looked calm, but actually, he was excited, almost to the point of jumping up after he closed the door.
Alex thought Nancy was polite and cute with her sweet smile.
Alex was also delighted that he was praised by the Elderly Mr. Brook!
"Grandpa, have some bananas."
Nancy carefully put her rabbit toy aside, then peeled a banana and handed it to her grandpa.
"Good girl. Nancy, have some more fruits."
"I got it."
Nancy nodded and ate a grape. One side of her cheeks bulged out and a smile brightened her face. Nancy looked so lovely.
Because of Nancy, the Elderly Mr. Brook thought the grapes looked delicious.
The Elderly Mr. Brook couldn't help but eat a grape. It tasted sweet!
Nancy ate grapes and fed grapes to her grandpa while she watched cartoons. After eating five grapes in succession, Nancy ate a strawberry. It tasted sweet and a little sour, and was juicy. Nancy could smell grapes and strawberries on her breath.
"Grandpa, the strawberries are also delicious."
The Elderly Mr. Brook happily had some strawberries, and then pointed to snacks, "Nancy, have some snacks."
Nancy said softly, "Okay."
Both Nancy and her grandpa had a good time eating snacks and watching cartoons. Nancy was thirsty and took a sip of the milky tea. The hard-boiled red beans were mixed with milky tea and tasted good.
Nancy was happy to eat such a variety of fruit and snacks. She was full.
The Elderly Mr. Brook stood up and stretched, "It may be a long time before your father ends his meeting. Since we are full, how about taking a stroll?"
Nancy nodded and jumped down from the chair, holding a light pink stuffed rabbit toy in one hand. Nancy walked towards her grandpa and held his hand. They walked out of the office slowly.
Alex was asked to take good care of Nancy and the Elderly Mr. Brook today. He immediately came up to greet Nancy and the Elderly Mr. Brook when he saw them come out.
"Mr. Brook, what do you need?"
The Elderly Mr. Brook said cheerfully, "I will take a stroll with Nancy. Ask someone to clean up the office."
"I got it."
Alex asked another assistant to clean up the office. Then Alex caught up with Nancy and the Elderly Mr. Brook so that he could satisfy their needs.
The company was very big, and the Elderly Mr. Brook hadn't been here for a long time. The newcomers in the company didn't know the Elderly Mr. Brook, and senior workers were in meetings. So the newcomers saw Alex following Nancy and the Elderly Mr. Brook, and wondered who they were.
A cat mewed.
Nancy suddenly heard the mew of a cat which caught her attention.
Nancy kept holding her grandpa's hand tightly as if she was afraid that she would get lost. The mew of the cat made Nancy feel more relaxed.
"Is there a cat here?"
Nancy looked at Alex with doubt.
Alex glanced at the ragdoll cat who came out of a studio and smiled, "Over there is the Development Department. It consists of many programmers. Most programmers are under strong pressure, and it's easy for them to go bald. To relieve their stress, Mr. Brook prepared a pet-only room. They can bring their pets to this room and feed their pets when they take a rest from their work."
A room was prepared for the pets who were irritable and restless. So those pets could be prevented from fighting with each other or disturbing workers. But workers could work with their pets if their pets were docile.
Obviously, the ragdoll cat that came out was docile.
Hearing Alex's words, Nancy wore a gentle smile.
Nancy crouched down and beckoned the cat over with a wave.
"Come here." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Nancy said softly. Her voice was pleasant to the ear.
The cat mewed again with a tilt of its head.
Nancy also tilted her head to the side, and her eyes were as beautiful as the cat. She also gave out a mew like a cat, which was really cute.
Alex pinched his fingers to repress his desire to touch Nancy's head.
The fluffy ragdoll cat stared at Nancy for a few seconds and then walked towards her.
The ragdoll cat was always docile and so attached to its owner. It mewed when it rubbed its furry head against Nancy's hand and hooked around her ankle with its fluffy tail.
The cat was clingy, but it would not be enthusiastic about strangers!
Alex wondered whether the cat regarded Nancy as its same kind. After all, Nancy was good at imitating animal sounds.
