Chapter 482

Brian’s body trembled on the spot as if he had forgotten to think. He allowed Nova’s lips to get closer and closer to him.
Her scent washed over him, a sense of déjà vu that was enough to make him sink.
Brian gulped and closed his eyes subconsciously as if the woman under him was Grace.
Seeing that he did not refuse, Nova’s lips curled into a cold smile.
The wet and hot kiss landed on his lips. Brian’s eyelashes trembled. Almost instinctively, he opened his mouth and sucked on her lips. Nova hugged him even tighter. At this moment, Grace’s face flashed across his mind. He suddenly sobered up and pushed her away.
Nova looked at him with misty eyes and asked in a low voice, “Brian, what’s wrong?”
He stood stiffly in front of the bed and looked at her. He said coldly, “I’m sorry, I have someone I like.”
With that, he turned around and almost fled.
Nova’s eyes turned cold inch by inch. She thought, ‘He likes someone. What a joke. He is being so loyal to Louise.’
Brian left very quickly, as if there was a ferocious beast behind him.
It wasn’t until he was in the car that he took deep breaths.
He pounded the steering wheel in frustration and thought, ‘What is wrong with me? In the past five years, there have been countless women who have seduced me as Nova did, but none of them has had a chance to get close to me. But today, I actually kissed her! I have only known her for less than twenty days.’
He loosened his tie in frustration and turned the air conditioner to the lowest level before his brain gradually calmed down.
He received a message on her phone. It was from Brian’s mother.
[Son, I’ll be back next Tuesday.] The attached photo was a plane ticket.
Brian took a look at the message and replied: [Okay.] Then, he started the car and drove back.
The next day, Nova received a delivery not long after she went to work. It was filled with some fruits and nutritional supplements. Not long after, she received a call from Craig.
His attitude was completely
different from yesterday. Today, his tone was respectful and he even addressed her as Miss Nova. “Miss Nova, Hreally drank too much last night didn’t mean to harass you. I specially bought you some fruits and supplements. I hope you don’t mind.”
Nova glanced at the things on the table and smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Grey. I’m not a petty person. It’s fine as long as you don’t make such mistakes again in the future.”
Even if he had guts, he wouldn’t dare
to make such a mistake. If he had
known that, Nova was Brian’s woman, Craig would definitely have behaved himself. “I definitely won’t. You are right! Then… about our collaboration…”
Nova said indifferently, “I’ll get my assistant to contact you and she’ll sign the contract on my behalf.”
Craig chuckled and said, “Alright! Thank you, Miss Nova. I’ll treat you to a meal another day to apologize to you!”
Nova knew that he was just being polite. He probably hated Nova to death. If it weren’t for the fact that
he was afraid of Brian, he might not even want to sign the contract.
She said calmly, “Mr. Gray, you’re too kind. There’s no need for a meal. I look forward to working with you in the future.”
After hanging up, she received a message. Craig had sent her a location.
Nova looked at the message and smiled. It was an address that couldn’t be more familiar.

When Louise heard that Jasmine Francis was coming back on Tuesday, she pestered Brian to bring her along to pick Jasmine up at the airport. For the past few days, Brian’s mind had been filled with Nova and Grace. He was very frustrated.
