Chapter 172 Marcus' Birthday

Chapter 172 Marcus' Birthday

Marcus felt a little sullen, his lips clamped together. When he went to the fifth floor of his company, he came face to face with the director of the sales department.

"Hello! Mr. Brook. Your scarf is beautiful. Can you tell me where you bought it? This scarf looks good in style, but also is very warm."

Marcus remained expressionless. After all, he was always indifferent and taciturn.

But his eyes lit up when his scarf was complimented. There was a visible hint of joy in his eyes.

He suppressed a smile and only nodded kindly at the sales director.

"You can't buy this scarf elsewhere, because my younger sister knit it for me."

The sales director was surprised. "Really? This scarf is so good that I can't imagine it was knit by your younger sister. She is only six years old, right?"

Marcus nodded calmly.

"I hope I can also have such a good little sister. I envy you."

What the director said sounded a bit exaggerated, but she was sincere. She thought the scarf flattered Marcus both in terms of color and style. She also noticed the different knitting patterns at the two ends of the scarf were the name of Marcus and a smiling face respectively. They showed Nancy's ingenious ideas.

She longed to have a younger sister as good as Marcus'.

Besides, she felt Marcus was cute today!

When Marcus left and passed the director, Philip, who was standing beside him, silently gave a thumbs-up sign. Philip thought she did a good job.

The sales director winked at Philip to show her gratitude. Were it not for Philip, she wouldn't know Marcus would come to the company today.

No one could expect that Marcus, the CEO of the company, just wanted to show off his younger sister.

On the way to Marcus' office, many workers praised his scarf. So Marcus looked less sullen and Philip finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Marcus returned to his office, he suddenly said to Philip, "Good job."

Philip was shocked.

He wondered if Marcus had discovered what he did.

He sneaked a look at Marcus nervously. He suddenly smiled when he found that Marcus wasn't angry.

He thought Marcus must realize what he had done because Marcus was smart. But anyway, he made Marcus happy. As long as Marcus was delighted, he would ...

"You can get a double bonus this month."

Philip was excited.

He couldn't help but smile.

Nancy didn't know what happened in Marcus' company. She got up late today, and at that time both her elder brothers and father went to work.

She needn't go for a morning jog with Marcus in the winter. So it didn't matter that she got up late.

She was walking around the house in her fluffy pajamas. Neil came back yesterday, so she decided to see if he got up now.

She ran to the door of Neil's room with Harley in her arms. She opened the door slowly and poked her head in.

Neil hadn't woken up yet.

Nancy blinked her eyes and walked in quietly.

"Neil?"

Nancy put Harley down to the ground and then burrowed down beneath the covers on the bed. She crawled under and bumped into something unknown. After a while, she finally managed to nestle in Neil's arms.

Nancy rubbed her fluffy hair against Neil's chest and curled up like a kitten in his arms. Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Harley, who was set aside, felt surprised.

Harley thought confusedly that she came here just for more sleep.

Nancy didn't wake Neil up. It might be because he was too tired or because he drank alcohol last night. Instead, he had a sound sleep because Nancy was just like a soft and warm throw pillow.

An hour later, Nancy woke up. The room was still in total darkness. She felt it was a little stuffy, so she craned out of the covers to breathe fresh air.

She was no longer sleepy and pillowed on Neil's arm, staring at him with big eyes.

She thought Neil resembled Marcus more when he was sleeping.

Then Neil opened his eyes suddenly and met Nancy's gaze.

"Nancy?"

Neil stared blankly at Nancy, who was in his arms. He had a headache and wondered if he was hallucinating.

Nancy nodded, with her chin resting on one of her hands.

"Good morning, Neil."

After hearing Nancy's soft voice, Neil confirmed that Nancy was lying beside him.

Neil leaned over and kissed Nancy on her chubby cheeks.

"Nancy, good morning. Did you share the room with me yesterday?"

Neil asked with doubt.

He suffered from headaches and forgot what happened yesterday. He couldn't even recall how he came back to his room.

Neil was frowning as if he felt uncomfortable. Nancy touched his forehead worriedly and then touched her forehead for comparison. It seemed that Neil had a fever.

"Neil, do you want to drink water? Are you uncomfortable?"

Without waiting for Neil's response, Nancy scrambled out of the bed and wanted to give him a glass of hot water.

Nancy did that so quickly that Neil didn't even have time to stop her.

Nancy ran to the living room and poured a glass of tepid water.

"What's wrong, Nancy?"

The Elderly Mr. Brook saw Nancy was in a hurry and asked her.

"Good morning, Grandpa. Uncle Derick, could you find some cold medicine? Neil seems to have a fever."

Uncle Derick hurried to get the medicine.

"I will fetch the medicine right now."

Nancy took the water and the medicine and came back to find Neil. Uncle Derick also followed her.

Neil had got up from the bed. He pressed his eyebrows and felt unwell. He remembered that he had drunk yesterday, but he couldn't recall what happened next.

"Neil, drink some water and take medicine."

"Mr. Neil Brook, do you want to see a doctor?"

Neil refused by waving his hand. "I just woke up with a terrible hangover."

Uncle Derick thought of the way Neil drank yesterday. "Mr. Neil Brook, you can't drink like you did yesterday. It's a low-alcohol wine, but you can't drink it in one gulp."

Neil said embarrassedly, "I haven't drunk it before."

He took the medicine that prevented a cold and the glass of water out of Nancy's hand.

"Neil, have some candies."

After Neil took the medicine, Nancy stuffed a piece of candy into his hand as a reward.

Uncle Derick was surprised and felt Nancy was coaxing a child.

Neil looked at the candy in his hand and then unwrapped it to eat it.

"Thank you, Nancy."

"You're welcome."

Nancy's eyes shone with pleasure.

Neil would not go abroad until after the New Year Holiday. So he could stay at home for a longer time.

After lunch, Neil took Nancy to the basement mysteriously.

"Nancy, you like to grow things, right? I'm going to make a botanical garden for you here. I've brought you a lot of seeds. These instruments can simulate the environment in which various plants grow. The newly developed organic fertilizers and nutrient solutions from the Agricultural Research Institute can supplement the nutrients needed by various plants."

Then Neil started to install various instruments.

Nancy followed him closely and asked curiously. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Neil, is it okay? Will you turn such a big place into a botanical garden? Will you grow a lot of plants that I have never seen before?"

The basement of the Brook's villa was very large and covered more than 500 square meters, just like an underground world.

This basement was not this big before and expanded a month ago. Nancy seldom went to the basement, so she didn't notice its change. She didn't expect that Neil planned to make it a botanical garden.

Neil threw Nancy an iPad. "Yes. I recorded all the seeds I bought on my iPad. I also have prepared the soil they are adapted to."

Nancy looked through the document carefully. She saw all kinds of flowers and amazing plants, as well as mushrooms!

"I can create a small lake here and make it into a water circulation system. You can raise fish in the water and bring your cat and dog to play here. Some fruit trees will also be planted here so that you can eat fresh fruit when they yield fruit. Nancy, what kind of plants do you want to plant most?"

Neil asked Nancy while planning.

Nancy gave him a big hug. "Neil, you are so nice!"
