Falling For My Contractual Wife
Chapter 471

Dean felt that what Nova said to him made sense. There were somethings that he needed to refuse to do.

He had helped Louise a lot before. He thought that she could put in a good word for him in front of Brian and he could get a promotion and a raise. However, a few years had passed, and he had not gained anything.

Moreover, many employees knew that Louise and Brian had been together for more than five years. They were already engaged five years ago, but they were still not married.

Occasionally, people would gossip about it in private. The employees who worked here for a long time knew that Brian and Grace had been married before. It was said that he planned to marry Louise after divorcing Grace. However, ever since Grace died five years ago, Brian and Louise never talked about holding their wedding. Therefore, there were rumors in the company that Brian didn't get married because he couldn't forget Grace.

People suspected that Louise might never have the chance to become the real Mrs. Francis.

Louise widened her eyes in surprise. She could not believe that Dean would reject her. She was stunned for a long time.

Louise walked away resentfully and went to find another colleague for help.

However, that person also turned her down on the grounds that he had other work to do.

Louise gritted her teeth and thought, 'No wonder I feel that the atmosphere in the office has been a little off recently. No one has talked to me much.'

She thought about it carefully. It seemed to have slowly changed after the two colleagues came out of the office the day before yesterday.

Louise thought, 'Nova must have bewitched them! This damn woman is clearly going against me.'

In order not to give Nova leverage, she could only calm down and sit in her seat to finish her work.

Brian came to pick her up from work as usual. Seeing that she had not finished her work, he asked, "Do you need to work overtime today?"

Louise turned her head and glanced

at Nova, who had yet to leave the office. She wanted to take the opportunity to complain about Nova. "Yes, Miss Nova only asked me to stay behind to work overtime"

QUMS

Brian looked up at Nova. Through the glass window, he saw her working with her head lowered.

This was the first time Brian had seen Nova working. She was very serious when she worked, and she was a completely different person from her usual enchanting self. Brian suddenly thought of Grace. Grace was also so serious when she was working.

Louise's heart sank when she saw him looking at Nova in a daze.

"Brian, what are you looking at?" Louise drooped her shoulders tiredly and complained, "Brian, do you think Miss Nova is deliberately targeting me? Everyone is off work and she only asked me to stay behind"

Brian came back to his senses and said calmly, "Isn't she working overtime too?"

His words rendered her speechless.

Brian added, "She's a responsible person at work. She asked you to stay and work overtime for your own good."

Louise gritted her teeth in anger. She pursed her lips and squeezed out a smile. "Is that so? Then she must think highly of me."

Louise quickly finished her work and left with Brian.

For some reason, she had a feeling that Nova was a very dangerous person. She was afraid that Nova would become the second Grace.

Louise originally wanted to mention

to Brian that she wanted to transfer to another department, but Brian

was impressed by Nova's ability.et

she mentioned it in front of him now, it would only make Brian feel that she could not take on difficult tasks.
