Chapter 324
Naomi immediately asked, "OK, I got it. Had you been to the Spring Orphanage ten years ago? Were you Mister Long Legs?"
She stared at Shannon with expectant eyes, trying to find traces of her memories in his face.
But, strangely enough, although she always felt familiar with Shannon, the familiarity was not the same as the feeling Mister Long Legs gave her.
A hint of doubt flashed across Shannon's emotionless eyes. Then he quickly replied, "No, I've never been there. I'm not Mister Long Legs,"
His answer was so succinct, and Naomi's anticipation instantly sunk.
Naomi's heart welled up with a sense of loss, but she wasn't very sad.
Actually, when she had calmed down and thought about it over the past two days, there was always a voice in her mind, "Shannon is not Mister Long Legs."
However, she had one last question.
"One last question. Those scalpels you used to belong to my mother, Rachel Shaw. How did you get them?"
"That's the third question. I won't answer it." Shannon rejected her outright. He was about to leave.
"Wait!" Naomi hurriedly opened her arms and blocked Shannon's way.
"You have to answer my question today!"
It was about her mother. She would try anything to get Shannon to answer her question today!
Shannon felt he had a moment of trance.
The girl in front of him gave him a vague glimpse of that person.
He curled his lips, and finally, he spoke. "I can answer this question, but you must promise me one thing."
"What do you want?" Naomi raised her eyebrows.
Shannon didn't say anything. She nodded lightly.
"You need to tell me what you want. Then I'll see if I can promise you!" Suddenly, Naomi rolled her eyes. She lifted her hands on her waist and straightened her back. Now she looked very determined.
"Just tell me what you want from me. Your assistant Evan has investigated me. He wouldn't have done that if you hadn't told him to. Even if Jack didn't invite you today, you would come to see me sooner or later, right?"
Naomi curled her lips slightly and stared confidently at Shannon.
When she saw the plastic ring last night, she thought of Shannon, and then she looked him up online. To her surprise, Shannon followed her on Twitter. Then she remembered that he had her mother's scalpels. She thought the whole thing wasn't that simple.
In a few seconds, Naomi took control of the situation.
Shannon was slightly stunned. His expressionless eyes glimmered with appreciation. He suddenly smiled. He had such a charming smile.
"You're very smart. Actually, I am..."
Outside the conference room, Shannon's assistant Evan was shocked. He froze.
In all the years he'd worked with Shannon, he'd rarely seen Shannon smile.
He thought Shannon was a cold-blooded man and that he couldn't smile at all!
Jack's arms were wrapped around his chest. He was staring, steadily into the conference room, irritation on his face. Behind him, Anna was hiding in a corner and watching Jack, who was fidgeting over Naomi Anna gritted her teeth in anger. She was determined to ruin Naomi's reputation and to make Jack regret it one day!
Outside the conference room, Jack couldn't hear what Naomi and Shannon were talking about, but he could see that the atmosphere in the room had lightened up.
Jack frowned hard at once.
"Why is this glass so soundproof?" Jack glanced at the glass wall in disgust. Sean, who was standing behind Jack, couldn't hold back his laughter.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Sir, you demanded to use the soundproof glass. This glass is top of the line in terms of soundproofing."
Jack turned around and cast a stern glance at Sean.
"Did I ask you?"
"No!" Sean was stunned. He immediately made a motion to zip his mouth shut.
By then, Naomi and Shannon had exchanged phone numbers in the conference room. Then Shannon got out alone.
Jack threw a cold glance at Sharmon, and Shannon stared back at him calmly.
After that, Shannon averted his gaze slightly and nodded politely to Jack, "Bye."
"Bye." Jack replied nonchalantly. Then Shannon strode away with Evan.
Jack immediately walked into the conference room. He stared at Naomi, not missing the slightest change of expression on her face. "What did he tell you?"
