The little guy immediately stood up straight,
“I think a month is enough. Uncle Simon is coming soon. I go and pack.”
Then he ran fast to the door as if there was a monster after him. At the door, he suddenly turned around.
“Pretty sister, my name is Elliot.”
Nova couldn’t help laughing. She had never met a clever and mischievous child like him, and he was likable so much.
“You’re the first woman the little guy likes so much.”
Jacob said in a deep voice.
Nova’s smile stopped, then she said sincerely.
“We kind of hit it off, and I like him very much, too.”
Jacob snorted. He got up and took out his clothes from the wardrobe.
“That’s because you don’t see the actual face of the little devil.”
Then he took off the towel and changed his clothes in front of her. Nova turned her head to avoid seeing him awkwardly. After Jacob got changed, he said.
“Take a break here. I have asked your company on your behalf for two hours’ leave.”
After a pause, she said.
“Thank you.”
Lying on the bed with peace of mind, Nova sniffed the sunshine smell on the quilt, gently closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When Jacob came in again, what he saw was her sleeping face. His heart softened slightly. He put the cup filled with hot water on the bedside table, and bent down to gently stroke her cheek. Nova was sleeping very well. Feeling itchy on the face, she just crinkled her nose, and murmured in a low voice.
“Alfred, stop it!”
Jacob was a little tense, then said with a suppressive voice.
“Why can’t you recognize me every time?”
In the quiet bedroom, no one answered him. Jacob held his forehead and sat by the bed, laughing at himself.
“Has the Hall family defunded?”
Nova looked at the documents, a little surprised. Because of the cooperation and friendship between the two families, she didn’t make a big deal out of that thing, but the Hall family was more anxious than her.
“Is there a big funding gap?”
“Mr. Robinson has made up for the gap in time. In fact, the Hall Group hasn’t developed in a good way in the past six months. Cooperating with us is to retain the talents in the company.”
Nova nodded, thinking of the news a few days ago. The corrupt administration will drive the Hall Group bankrupt, if they took no measures and the managers weren’t reappointed. Back then, the Hall Group would collapse itself without any external driving force. They defunded now, in fact, it’s a good news for Nova lest the Graham Group would be implicated.
“I see. Anything else?”
Secretary Lee faltered.
“Besides, President Graham asked you to try on your dress after work.”
Nova frowned.
“What dress?”
“Mr. Robinson will hold up the wedding next week, and you should be present.”
Secretary Lee cleverly didn’t mention Ella Graham, because she was a taboo of Nova.
“You tell President Graham that I will choose my own dress, and they don’t have to wait for me.”
Nova even didn’t raise her head. She just said in a plain voice and began to work again.
Secretary Lee naturally did not dare to ask again, so he transferred Nova’s words exactly to Toby Graham.
As soon as Secretary Lee went out, Toby slapped the documents down on the table, with a black face. Ewan was also in the office at the moment. After seeing Toby’s reaction, he kept silent for a while.
