Chapter 310 I Can’t Help Worrying About You
“You are Nova Bush, aren’t you?” The voice from the other end sounded surprised.
“Yes, I am“.
There was a short pause before the secretary spoke again. “Mr. Lloyd is in a meeting. I will deliver your message to him and get
back to you as soon as I can.”
“Okay, Thanks a lot.”
Nova then hung up.
And the secretary went directly to his boss’s office after the call.
As he came in, he saw the famous old goat, Mr. Lloyd, his boss sitting at the desk. Actually, it was because his pot belly was too
disgusting to ignore for people.
He looked to be in his forties, breathing heavily with the rise and fall of his fat belly, just like the rudest butcher in the world, but
he wore scholar–like glasses with white frames. So incongruous. The most terrible thing was his receding hairline and sparse
hair, which made him look even more oily and unpleasant to see.
He didn’t tear his eyes from the screen of his phone when he heard his secretary coming. Apparently, the pictures of hot
beauties were more sensuous to see than his secretary.
His secretary didn’t show any shocks at the scene, which meant that he must have seen enough of these. With strides, he came
in front of Mr. Lloyd.
This was a male secretary, that was why Mr. Lloyd didn’t lift his eyebrows at him. As people all knew, Mr. Lloyd was often
indulging his own sexual proclivities uncontrollably so he could use some arm–twisting methods to prevent him from being
fatuous and blind in business, and hiring a male secretary was one of the methods.
After all, there were countless women racing each other to lie with him outside the company.
In his opinion, women were just inane eye candies who were empty of ability, and would bust his company up if let them take
important places in his company.
“Mr. Lloyd, Miss Bush made a call just now and invited you to dinner.”
Mr. Lloyd’s hands halted, hovering half an inch or so above his phone. “Which Bush?” He asked in an incurious way.
“Bush Nova.”
“You mean, that Bush? Henry’s ex?!” He lifted his head with great interest.
The secretary hesitated for half a second before answering, “Yeah, it’s her. And according to her, she is an employee of Bush
Group now.”
Mr. Lloyd dissolved into laughter at once. “Tell her, I’m free tonight and I’ll meet her at...”
He swallowed as if something occurred to him. He was going to book the presidential guest house for tonight’s meeting.
Nevertheless, on second thought, he changed his mind. “I’ll meet her at the clubhouse I used to go, remember, in a private
room.” Nova was still not someone to be sniffed at.
Mr. Lloyd said airily but worries grew in his secretary’s eyes. “Mr. Lloyd, forgive me for interrupting, but I think you should know
that Nova Bush is closely related to the King and Don family, are you still...”
“An abandoned woman doesn’t have to be reckoned with no matter how beautiful she is. And, she is just a one–night stand for
me, I don’t care that much. Business is business, she has to pay for it if she wants to do business with me.”
“But...”
“Enough, just arrange the private room for us, tell her that I’ll try and fit her in tonight.”
After saying this, Mr. Lloyd carried on playing with his phone leisurely. His secretary could only nod submissively sighing.
It was time to get off work but Nova didn’t go home because she planned to go meet Mr. Lloyd later after work. Daisy thought
that Nova was distraught by those tremendously difficult tasks, then she proposed with kindness,
“Nova, it’s time to leave work, who don’t we leave together?”
Nova produced a smile back and refused mildly. “Thank you, but I’ve got stuff to do later, let’s call it a day. Goodbye.”
Daisy managed to gulp back her concern. “Are you going to meet Mr. Lloyd? Maybe I can go with you.” Obviously, she failed to
do so.\
“I appreciate that, but I’m fine to meet him alone.”
Nova could feel Daisy’s deep sincerity and warmth and she was greatly touched by her, but just as they all knew, Mr. Lloyd was a
tough nut to crack, and Nova hated to get Daisy involved.
A line appeared between her eyebrows when she heard Nova’s reply, but she was not a woman who would give up without a
struggle. “But... the Mr. Lloyd is really tricky and wily. He always takes advantage of beautiful women under the guise of
business. Such a nasty ass will never let go of you easily since you are so stunning Nova, I can’t help worrying about you just
thinking of it...”
“But...”
