Chapter 62
Stella was used to calling her Polly. “Nova” read a little bit awkwardly.
Beneath the gaze of so many eyes, Nova nodded and followed Stella into her office.
Quite a few men were still staring at Nova’s back.
The men who had flattered Nova leaned against his computer desk, hands in pockets. In his black suit, he looked cunning.
There was a black mole on his right cheek, which just made him prettier.
This playboy had just been 28 yesterday. No one knew exactly how many girls he had dated, but he was still single now.
Looking at Nova’s back, he couldn’t help praising her, “Sure enough, not every girl could be Chief King’s wife. I thought she was gorgeous enough when I saw her on screen, but she’s actually more than that!”
A woman stood opposite him. She hated his faithlessness, but was still intrigued by his appearance.
When she heard that he was flattering another woman, she satirized him, “Nova is divorced, Leonard. Chief King’s not gonna back her up any more. Must you still butter her up?”
Leonard frowned. He glanced at Eudora and sighed, “I’m not buttering her up. I’m just admiring her. Who doesn’t like a beauty?”
Other lawyers took a glimpse at the two of them, without commenting anything. Everybody knew that Eudora had a crush on Leonard, but he had no interest in her.
Eudora sneered, “Chief King divorced her because she had cheated on him. That’s what your beauty has done.”
“Are you finished? Why don’t you go back to work too? One of my cases will come on for trial tomorrow. I need to get ready.”
And then, he got started immediately. Leonard was always efficient and good at what he did.
Every lawyer of Stella’s firm was competent enough to start his or her own business.
Because Stella held high standards when hiring lawyers, people doubted whether Nova had got this job fair and square.
They almost believed that Nova had slept her way up here, but for that Stella was female.
It was noon now, while Nova was still in Stella’s office, which confused everyone.
Eudora had glanced at Stella’s office door for several times. She couldn’t help wondering, “What’s going on in there? Why didn’t Nova get out?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Perhaps the boss has a lot of things to tell her.”
Right now Nova was sitting opposite Stella. Everyone here knew that there were two computers in Stella’s office. She only used one of them, and the other was untouchable, just like a taboo.
However…
Nova turned it on at this moment.
Flaring paper adorned Stella’s office door. There was no way others could see what was going on in here from the outside.
Stella heaved a sigh, “After all these years, you have no idea how many times I’ve dusted this computer for you. It’s good to see you turning it on at last.”
There was guilt in Nova’s eyes. “Sorry. It’s all my fault.”
