Chapter 481
Nova looked at Brian at the door and pushed Craig away forcefully. She ran behind Brian in a panic. Brian shielded her behind him. Sensing her fear, he glanced at Craig gloomily.
Craig rubbed his eyes. "Mr. Francis? Why... Why are you here?"
Nova held Brian's arm with trembling hands and whispered, "Mr. Francis... Help me, I'm so scared..."
Brian patted her shoulder. His voice involuntarily softened. "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Nova lowered her head. She was weak and helpless, but no one saw the indifferent expression on her face. Craig suddenly had a bad feeling. She didn't know when Nova became so close to Brian.
Brian looked at him coldly. "Which hand of yours touched her?"
Craig laughed awkwardly. "Mr. Francis, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Brian narrowed his eyes as if he had run out of patience. "Then both hands have touched her."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his leg and kicked Craig in the arm, knocking him to the ground.
Craig groaned in embarrassment. "Mr. Francis, I am sorry! I shouldn't have touched Miss Nova! Please spare me." "Bang!" Another kick sent him rolling several times on the ground.
A leather shoe was firmly pressed against his fingers.
Craig screamed in pain, "Mr. Francis, please spare me!"
Brian said, "It's not up to me to decide if I'll spare you or not."
Craig hurriedly corrected himself. "Miss Nova, I am sorry... I won't dare to do it again... Please spare me!"
Nova walked
up to him and looked
down at him Mr. Grey, we were supposed to discuss business. I hate men who use business to take advantage of ladies. It's not impossible for me to spare you! Can you guarantee that you won't make the same mistake to other ladies in the future?"
Brian looked at her in surprise.
Craig did not dare to think of doing that again. He hurriedly admitted his mistake. "You're right! I won't dare to do it won't dare to touch a
woman in this lifetime!"
Nova said, "Alright, I'll believe you for now! I know a lot of people in this industry. You'd better not let me hear you doing this kind of thing again!" Craig said, "Definitely not! Don't worry, Miss Nova!"
Seeing this, Brian took his foot away.
Craig immediately got up and ran out of the private room after regaining his freedom.
Nova massaged her temples and looked at Brian with a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Francis."
Brian looked at her tattered clothes. Fortunately, the collar of her clothes was high enough. She did not look miserable even if it was a little torn.
"I'll send you back," Brian said solemnly.
Nova nodded, and her enchanting smile carried a bit of naivety. "Okay!"
She followed behind Brian, her footsteps a little unsteady.
He walked much faster than she did. There was quickly a gap between them. Brian looked back at her and realized that she had fallen far away. He frowned and stood still, waiting for her.
Nova slowly walked to his side and the two of them took the elevator downstairs.
After getting into the car, Nova felt a little cold and shrunk her neck.
Brian took out a jacket from the backseat and handed it to her. "Put it on."
Nova smiled and reached out to take it. "Thank you."
