You stupid bitch! How could he not know that? He had no choice but to humble himself because of that man’s words, namely, Henry
King’s warning!
Involuntarily, Payne gnawed his teeth out of fury, which almost betrayed his hidden feelings to the people present. Luckily, the last shred of his reason prevailed. “Aha! Miss Bush, I’ll take your words as a compliment. But I still have to admit that Miss Nova is way too talented than most of the people I know and she really does me a great favor with her efforts on the plan of our common project. Here, I’d like to propose a toast to Miss Nova!”
People around looked at Kelly and Payne, then turned their attention to Nova. Doubts assailed them from time to time. Did Nova really get laid with Payne for the project? It didn’t look like that at all!
From the beginning to the end, Nova hadn’t said a word, staring at them even more placidly.
Well, shouldn’t she say something now? Nova noticed others‘ searching look and said to herself wryly.
It seemed that she had to make a reply now.
Clearing her throat, Nova moved her lips to make a sound. “Mr. Lloyd is as modest as usual, I’m really flattered. Would you like to have a seat next to me?”
Nova’s words removed some of Payne’s concern. Thank God, she is not a woman with an air of superiority, otherwise, she wouldn’t let him off the hook easily seeing what he had done to her before.
As well as some rage when he thought about the meeting with Nova.
“Well, thank you, Miss Nova.” Payne then sat on the right of Nova. However, Payne’s move next made everyone’s jaw fall again. He was
pulling his seat away from Nova gingerly!
The person who sat on Payne’s right was a male colleague of Nova. Seeing that Payne was getting closer to him, he wore a horrified look.
To tell the truth, his fear proved justified since it was widely known that Payne Lloyd was an active bisexual!
It was as if Payne made that move to get closer to him!
People in the room were still in a daze while Kelly felt humiliated extremely by Payne’s move. As emulative as Kelly was, she willed herself to keep in her indignation.
Oh damn! How did it become like this?!
How could it be?
How could her plan come to nothing? Kelly couldn’t but swear in her heart in case she exploded with rage.
It seemed that everything happened in a flash. People obviously changed their attitude toward Nova. Moreover, some of them showed distinct admiration in their eyes when they looked at Nova. Eyes full of resignation and body shaking with indignation, Kelly clenched her fists when she perceived that shift.
She had spent several days scheming this plan with Payne to slander Nova behind her back. However, all her efforts on it seemed to be in
favor of her now! Haughty as Kelly was, how could she grin and bear it?!
What could she do now? How could she retrieve the situation? The answer was that no matter how she goads or fan the flame she couldn’t turn the tables. And there was something more terrible waiting for her.
It was Henry, Kelly’s beloved fiancé, who would quite ‘providentially‘ bump into Kelly fitting Nova up
Actually, it could not be counted as a coincidence Since Nova intentionally gave him a broad hint when she met him on her way to the restroom.
He was smoking at that time, leaning against the wall with a cigarette newly lit.
When did he start to smoke? Nova frowned slightly at what she saw.
His eyes dropped to his lap, as if he was reflecting something, totally in a world of his own. On second thought, Nova decided to swivel around to walk back without a sound.
However… From NôvelDrama.Org.
An antsy voice behind her gave her a start and made her stop. Does he see me?
Chapter 326 In A Daze
“Henry, what on earth is your take on her?” Just go after her if you really have feelings for her. Don’t be so blind and irresolute
His voice stopped abruptly.
Because the woman he was speaking of was ahead of him.
Just go after her? Nova was puzzled by the words she overheard. Do they mean Kelly?
Is there a need for that given that Kelly is so fond of him over the years?
Or Henry just wants to be more romantic with Kelly and creates a romantic mood for their dates? He has loved her to such an extent?
Nova silently sneered at her thoughts, then smiled with a ghost of sarcasm. That’s very likely, after all, he is always a gentleman in
people’s eyes except before her.
Nova also noticed Lan’s strange expression while he was looking over at her, but she didn’t take it seriously.
Out of courtesy and thanks, she nodded friendly at Lan to express her gratitude for the matter with Payne and then turned back.
In the process, she had ignored Henry totally even though he was staring at her at the very beginning with a burning look.
Lan turned his attention from Nova to Henry and cleared his throat before speaking. “Let’s go back now.”
However…
Henry, not seeming to hear Lan’s words, walked in strides in Nova’s direction.
“Nova Bush!”
