Chapter 458

Coincidentally, the interview ended. Brian turned off the computer and sneered. “I thought Nelson was a capable man until I realized that he has relied on a woman to make the company improve a little. He is no threat to the Francis Group.” Seeing that Brian did not care about Nova’s existence, Camren did not say anything else. “Mr. Francis, you have a dinner arrangement with Mr. Langley tonight at the Haven Club.” Brian nodded, indicating that he understood.

During the meal, Brian’s phone kept ringing. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Louise. He frowned, muted his phone, and put it back in his bag. He ignored it.
When she called for the fourth time, Brian gradually lost his patience. He apologized to Mr. Langley and walked out of the private room to answer the call.
He did not waste any time and asked her coldly, “What’s the matter?”
He was not in a good mood today. It seemed that after watching the interview this afternoon, he had a sense of frustration for no reason.
That was why he almost lost his temper after Louise kept calling him.
For the past five years, Brian’s attitude towards her had always been neutral. Louise had long been used to it, but his cold attitude today still made her feel a little abnormal.
She said gently, “Brian, I’m downstairs at Haven Club. I’ll send you back when you are done.”
Brian frowned. “Camren didn’t drink. He’ll drive me back later. It might be very late when I am done. You go back and rest first.”
Louise insisted on waiting for him. Brian said, “Whatever.” Then, he hung up.
He loosened his tie and looked up to the bathroom to wash his face in cold water.
When he came out of the washroom, he saw a familiar figure.
A woman was wearing a pair of high heels and her hair was tied into a low ponytail behind her head. Brian thought, ‘That is Grace Sherman! I can recognize her even if she turns into ashes!’ Brian’s eyes widened in surprise. He strode over. Due to his excitement, he subconsciously increased his strength and grabbed her arm. “Grace Sherman!”
The woman paused for a moment, then slowly turned around.
She looked at Brian with her eyes widened. When he saw her face, a profound surprise flashed across his eyes, and then something seemed to be extinguishing bit by bit. Brian thought, ‘She is not Grace.’
Brian narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, ‘She looks like Nova.’
Nova tilted her head slightly and the corners of her mouth curled into a charming arc. Her pretty eyes seemed to be smiling. With a lighte blink, she revealed a myriad of charms. “If that’s your way of hitting on me, sir, I’ll take it. After all, it’s hard not to be tempted by someone so handsome.”
Her voice was different from Grace’s. Grace’s voice was clear, but this woman’s voice had a trace of magnetism. It was unbelievably sexy.
When Brian heard her frivolous
words, he frowned fiercely. He
instantly thought of what she had, said in the live broadcast in the afternoon and thought, ‘How can
sw novel
there be such a flirty woman
He suddenly let go of her hand and said coldly, “I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not interested in a woman like you.”
Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed
slightly. She stopped in front of him
and asked charmingly, “Sir, what
da
you mean by that? What do you mean by a woman like me? What’s wrong with a woman like me? You were the one who grabbed me with a Bossy attitude.”
