Chapter 518

The results of the investigation made Brian even more certain that there was something wrong with Nova.
He believed that it was very likely that she was sent by Nelson to approach him. Since that was the case, Brian wanted to beat her at her own game.
Louise’s face and neck were scalded. When she sat at the dining table in the morning, half of her face was still red and swollen. Her skin was covered in a layer of green, sticky, and wet medicine, making her look disgusting.
The medicine always emitted an indescribable taste, making it difficult for Jasmine to swallow her breakfast. She could not help but retch and almost vomit.
Nova sat opposite Louise and smiled at her. She kindly reminded her, “I’ve been scalded before. You can’t eat anything with too much pigment these few days, or it’ll easily leave a scar.”
In Louise’s eyes, Nova was openly mocking her. Louise poked at the food on her plate and wanted to scold Nova, but she was afraid of angering Jasmine. She could only swallow her anger. Jasmine put down her fork after two bites. “I’ll go upstairs first. Nova, be careful on your way to work.”
Nova said, “Okay, Mom.”
After breakfast, Brian waited for Louise, but Louise said pitifully, “Brian, I’m not going to work today.”
She thought, ‘I will be laughed at if I went to the company like this. I don’t want everyone to see me in a sorry state while Nova is glamorous.’
Brian did not say anything and nodded. “Okay.”
He walked out first. Nova said goodbye to Louise with a smile and walked to the garage.
She was a little surprised because she saw Brian leaning against the car door and smoking a cigarette as if he were waiting for her.
As expected, when she walked over, she heard Brian say, “It’s just the two of us today. Let’s take my car.”
Nova smiled. “If your fiancée finds out, she’ll probably make things difficult for me again.”
Brian looked at her mockingly. “I think you’re quite willing to let her know.”
Nova widened her eyes in surprise
and thought, Why is Brian so abnormal today?’ She didn’t say anything else and accepted it with a smile Then when your fiancee finds trouble with me, you will have to protect me.”
Brian asked, “Do you need my protection?”
Nova looked at his eyes and was slightly stunned. She thought, ‘Yes, there is no need. Five years ago, when I needed protection, he was never by my side. Five years later, I do not need anyone’s protection anymore.’
After getting into the car, Nova chatted with Brian from time to time. Brian drove calmly and ignored her. Nova felt that it was boring and stopped talking after a while. Before she got off work, Brian took the initiative to send her a message, saying that he would pick her up later to go home with her.
He showed up at the office promptly at two minutes past five.
Nova felt that he was a little abnormal. She leaned against the car window enchantingly and asked him, “Mr. Francis, you’re so attentive today. Have you taken a fancy to me?” Brian’s hand that was starting the car stopped. He turned his head and looked at her with a faint smile. His tone was a little frivolous. “Isn’t this what you want?” Startled, Nova leaned forward toward him. “Do you like me?”
His eyes looked at her, but there was no warmth in them. “You’re prettier and more interesting than Louise. You know your own charm. Every man will like you.”
The smile on Nova’s face deepened.
She reached out a pair of pretty
hands and slowly touched his tie. Through the thin fabric of his shirt, her fingers rubbed his body intentionally. en FindNovel
