Chapter 845
Peach was shouting in the office, “Ah! It’s Gale! It’s really Gale!”
She was like a fan who had just met her idol.
No, it was even more than that!
Gale had no idea her arrival had caused such a stir.
She headed right for Shawn’s office.
Fiona was tongue-tied at the sight of Gaie. “M-Mrs. Wood, y-you’re looking for…”
“Shawn.”
“This way, please.”
Fiona led the way, knocking at the door. “Mr. Wood.”
“What is it?” Shawn’s voice sounded incredibly impatient. “Is the sky falling?”
He had not slept, and his whole body smelled of cigarettes. He had just showered in the office’s washroom and was

Did he not tell Fiona not to look for him unless the sky was falling?!
Gale looked at Fiona. “The sky is falling? What does he mean?”
“Uhm…”
Fiona did not know how to explain.
The moment Shawn heard Gale’s voice, he immediately fastened his tie and rushed out, pushing the door open!
“Gale?”
She was actually here.
She had come to the company to look for her by herself. What a rare sight!
“It’s me. Are you free?” Gale answered.
Shawn pursed his lips and made way.
Fiona coughed. “Mr. Wood, the sky isn’t falling, but Mrs. Wood is here. Isn’t this an even bigger deal?”
Shawn shot a cold look over.
Fiona immediately shut the door and fled the scene!
Gale looked at Shawn a bit awkwardly.
Even Shawn’s buttons were not completely done. His bronze skin still glistened with water, and he smelled of
shampoo.
She did not know where to look!
“You’re looking for me?” Shawn acted like nothing was wrong. “Did you go see Nicole already?”
“I haven’t. I came to discuss things with you.”
Shawn sat on the sofa, slowly doing his buttons, tidying up his tie, and adjusting his belt.
Gale’s eyes darted everywhere, but she refused to look at him.
Seeing how she was acting, Shawn deliberately slowed down. He even stopped on purpose, leaving his
buttons undone.
His muscles were glaring.
“Sit. Do you want something to drink?” Shawn looked incredibly relaxed.

However, Gale did not bother being polite. She sat right down in front of him. “I’ll drink whatever you have.”
“We really are like an old couple.” Shawn poured her some tea. “You were fighting so fiercely against me.
yesterday, but you’re sitting right in front of me right now.”
After a pause, he added, “Gale, you’ve grown.”
She would give him the silent treatment if it were in the past. There was no way she would have looked for him!
There was no way they would be talking about things so calmly either!
“Fighting won’t solve anything. Blaming you will just exhaust both of us. It’s been four years. Of course, I’d be more
mature,” Gale answered.
“I would rather you keep on being naive and innocent, even if I’m the one who would get hurt.”
She pouted. “You sure know how to talk. When I turned around and ran yesterday, you never ran after me.”
Shawn said, “I knew you wanted to be alone.”
He needed some peace and quiet as well.
If they had continued being by each other’s side in that situation, they would just have ended up fighting
even more.
